    not familiar with tgb.but those script looks like same to t3d.wait for someone's proper answer.or try this:

    what actually u want to change:
    way to load main menu?
    or the place when main menu will be loaded?
    or the main menu itself?

    01.
    for first one:
    u need
    function MainMenuGui::onWake(%this)
    { }
    you have to search in which file this function is.

    02.
    for next one u have to search for this line:
    Canvas.setContent( MainMenuGui );
    or
    Canvas.pushDialog(MainMenuGui);

    03.
    for last one u have to edit file named mainMenu.gui

    not sure any of them.but u can try them until someone from tgb answer you.

    nice line.
    true for me about t3d.
    and there is nothing to fill that.

    there are two main.cs file in the tgb progect, one of them got a blank function onstart and another one got initializeProject that sets the content and etc, whats the differences between these two cs file,and when we use function onstart and what should we write into its blank bracets, in the phantasia,larva,startegy and whole the source code i have downloaded theres a function
    start_game that the main menu push.dialogue starts from there but i dont know where the start_game function get called and also they use a function
    view plainprint?
    Canvas.setContent(loadGarageGamesGui());

    but theresnt any gui or any function with this name in the source, does anybody know anything about it
    im really wate for even a short answer
