Dialog boxes cause crashing.

by Travis Vroman · in General Discussion · 07/10/2003 (5:36 pm) · 2 replies

Any time I do something in TGE that would involve a dialog box, it crashes. One example is pressing escape (which used to make the dialog box pop up asking if I really wanted to quit) but now the engine just crashes. Is this a problem limited to WinXP or is it in the coding? and how would I go about fixing this?

Thanks,

The message box code is in messagebox.cs in common/scripts/ for all 4 'dialog' boxes.
I dont have this problem, but you might want to check there for debugging purposes.

I got the code for that staighened around... now what I need to know it how to make the popup boxes transpaternt. I made darkwindow.png and darkscroll.png have an aplha channel, and they are transparent. The main window, however, isnt. How do I do this?
