Gui Editor Missing

by Nathan Meier · in Torque Game Builder · 07/25/2010 (2:51 am) · 4 replies

Hey, I'm trying to do the Tetris tutorial on GarageGames.com. But when I came to the part about selecting "GuiChunkedImageGui", I couldn't find it where it said it was. Heck, I've been having trouble with every tutorial involving the GUI Editor on the website because it seems like I'm missing everything it tells me to select. And I only have a small selection of things to chose from when making a GUI in the editor. Could someone please tell me why I have so little to chose from in the GUI editor and how to get a bigger selection of things to chose from in it so I can actually do these tutorials? Any help would be wonderful!

There should be two tabs on the gui tool palette; Common and All. Try looking on the All tab.

It could be that some of the names have changed as well since those tutorials were release. GuiChunkedImageGui == GuiChunkedBitmapCtrl?

Okay, I was able to find the GuiChunkedBitmapCtrl like you said. But another problem I'm having is that it won't let me set the ImageMap to the GameArea.png image map or any other PNG image. Any idea why?

That's a silly old bug :/

Try editing the script file generated to include the name of the image you're trying to use. For some reason it will then be possible to select stuff in file requesters.
