Mission in main menu GUI

#1 hm, the link doesnt work yet... :(
guess we'll have to wait til its approved...

#2 yup :) Probably won't be long till approved

Frank, thanks much for coming up with this ressource so fast. For those that don't know, I just asked how to do this a couples of days ago and Frank was not home. So, seeing this, he has done the ressource as soon as he came back home. Your wife will hate me ! :) Can't wait to try this.

#3 @Gilles : as you say i did it quickly : so there is no dynamic camera and the player still spawns. The best way to add it is to make a special mission with a code and disable the player spawning when loading that mission map.

BTW, i no longer have a wife.... but it's in my todo-list ;)

#4 Your camera pathcode is a must with this menu. I already use it hardly for our racing game, so I'm ready :) For the spawn, it will load in observer mode in my case so it's not really a problem if someone has already implemented teams.

Da..n, you've just remembers me to include this big task on my todo-list too !

Task #2793 : "Including a wife in the gameplay"
Estimated time to do : 2 min to 3 years (depend on the model)
Priority : Low

I knew I had forgot something. :)

#5 hm, ok, now the resource IS approved, but the link still doesnt work... could anybody fix this, plz? :)

#6 I have corrected it by uploading again the file. It should work.

#7 link works now apparently

#8 Works like a charm Frank. Thanks a million !

#9 Frank,
It doesnt seem to work. It shows me a blank grey screen. The console log shows the following in the end:

*** Mission loaded
fps/client/init.cs (117): Unable to find object: '' attempting to call function 'add'
fps/client/init.cs (118): Unknown command setConnectArgs.

I have not made any changes to the script files. Can you please help?

thanks.

#10 *bump*

I've just tried it in v1.3 with the lighting pack, and it works brilliantly. I never knew something like that was possible in just script.

I made a stripped down copy of LoadingGui for when it's loading the background mission, to get rid of the cancel button and make it a bit smaller. It requires changes to client/scripts/missionDownload.cs to use globals in place of LoadingGui, LoadingProgress and LoadingProgressTxt.
Then, in function handleLoadInfoMessage, replacing

Canvas.setContent("LoadingGui");

with something like

if ($mainMenu)
{
Canvas.setContent("MiniLoadingGui");
$loadGui = MiniLoadingGui;
$loadProgress = MiniLoadingProgress;
$loadProgressTxt = MiniLoadingProgressTxt;
}
else
{
Canvas.setContent("LoadingGui");
$loadGui = LoadingGui;
$loadProgress = LoadingProgress;
$loadProgressTxt = LoadingProgressTxt;
}

There might be an easier way to do that though, I'm still relatively new to torque.

#11 This may be slightly old, but it doesn't seem to work 100% these days. Anyone know why I'd get the message:

SimObject::object missing call to SimObject::onRemove

when quitting the game after adding the above?

EDIT: After review, apparently quit(); doesn't clean it up too well. Made a new function called GetLost() that just calls Disconnect() then Quit(). No longer get the problem. Of course this only address that angle of the level clean-up but thats the only issue I had. Edit'ing this in for others.

#12 Unknown object "wife" attempting to call function "PlayMyGame"

#13 This is the Torque 1.4 port

#15 Just tested this with TGE 1.5.2, works perfectly.
Needed to modify some code though.
