OpenFileDialog and SaveFileDialog not available in shipping build

by Richard Marrevee · in Torque 3D Professional · 02/01/2011 (7:08 am) · 4 replies

It seems that after a shipping build of the engine the OpenFileDialog() and the SaveFileDialog are not available in script.

Is this supposed to be or is it a define in Torqueconfig.h or something else.

Because you don't get any console messages in a ship-build I can't say what is happening.

Has anybody experiencing the same?

Thanks.

    They work for me but I have noticed that they will not work if you are running your game in full-screen mode. They only work in windowed mode.

    I am running in windowed mode. The strange thing is that when I use a normal build of the engine everything works fine.

    @Rex:

    They will work in full-screen mode, however....

    The first time you call them they are not visible. On windows hit <alt>-<Tab> until you get the dialog. After this they are appearing normally when requested.

    However very strange.

    RTFM :D seems it is intentional ...
