GUI Skinning Woes...

by Nicolai Dutka · in Torque Game Engine Advanced · 12/09/2010 (12:10 am) · 2 replies

I always seem to get stuck on stupid little things that should be really easy to do... In this case, I'm trying to change the appearance of the default scroll bar. I've made several changes to:

common/gui/images/scrollBar.png

Yet no matter what I do to the file, the game keeps right on loading the same old scroll bar images... Am I missing something here?

Sorry, I'm not entirely sure what would cause that. I have sort of a similar question, so I thought it fit in here.

How do I change the "Look" of the gui, because the tan gui backgrounds don't really fit well with the concept of my project.

Well I figured out what my problem was... I'm using the AFX2 kit and they have a lot of 'overrides', so I was editing the wrong file... Apparently I needed to edit one called "demoScrollbar.png" in a different location... If I recall:

bin/client/ui/demoScrollbar.png

(I renamed my "scriptsAndAssets" folder to "bin" for faster console 'exec' debugging)
