How to create a bitmap array for a main game window

#1 pls also tell r there any tutorials on how to create real complex gui. as i am unable to find any tutorial for it

#2 Moeed: If you look in game\common\gui\images (this is in TGEA 1.7 I'm using), then you will see a number of PNGs that define the graphics for the GUI controls in TGEA. I suggest you create copies and modify those, and then go into your profiles.cs, or customProfiles.cs files and change the "bitmap = " lines to reflect the changes you've made. It's what I do.

As for how to make a "real complex" GUI? Well, depends on what you want in it. What you should do is both look at the .gui files in the engine now, and check out the tutorials for the simpler ones, and then use that knowledge to work on more complex stuff- because really, a complex GUI is just a collection of simpler GUI components. Check out the documentation area on this site, or the docs that come with the engine, and do searches on the site for additional information (there's a lot of threads with great information here).

Hope that helps.

#4 Actually, that does indeed show how to modify the main game window GUI, the element names in the skin, and the order in which they are placed in the PNG (to which I gave you the location in my original post).

Edit: Or do you mean the Windows window that the entire game is in? For that, you will need to do some OS-specific coding.
