Any one have a camera tutorial so a person can start with. Attempt to start with the RTS tutorial but it seems to have some bugs so it break my installation.

Appreciated a script with some simple instructions on how its done a RTS camera view.

Also if like to know how do i change the color of menu attempt to change it also break something. For example wanted a background color for the hole front menu.

    I will try to find some time to try the camera setup from the documentation and see if I can help.

    As to the gui menu, what exactly are you trying to do?

    Have you gone over the gui tutorial?

    Well to be honest doing a bit more work on the 3D models. Publish some tutorials on Blender in my project page. Now thinking in diving more in to the script.

    Want to change the background color to black in the main menu. Since I do not know how to do one by my self, ask on #IRC ended up by reinstaling.

    Now following the RTS tutorial, to set up the side view camera, but something not working at 100%.

    I can send you the camera associated files if you wish to check them out.

    You can add me on Skype and follow the project status on the profile links.

    Changing the background color to black is as simple as changing the background.png in game/art/gui to black instead of white.

    Replace background.png with this one...

    Awhile ago, I made an ingame menu that can be accessed by pressing 'm'.
    If you want to examine it, here it is. Instructions are in the zip.

    I haven't worked much with the camera but I did get a side view camera working with some simple code. Read the post here.
