GUI Editor and Main.cs

by LF · in Torque Game Engine · 08/16/2004 (11:50 am) · 3 replies

Well, purchased torque sdk few days ago, and try to do something...

Now im trying just to display a GUI created by me just that...

I've changed the file main.cs on example folder to:
---> $defaultGame = "mytestfolder";
Only that...

Inside my folder i have:
main.cs
default.cs

I copy the files above from "show" folder... and changed main.cs to:

function initShow()
{
$showAutoDetail = false;

exec("~/ui/mainmenu.gui");


// exec("~/cscripts/show.bind.cs");
}

i just change the comands above...
the file mainmenu.gui exists, but when i run the engine... the error:

"GuiControlProfile: unable to find specified profile (Guidefaultprofile) and guidefaultprofile does not exists"


My question is:
What files i need to just load a gui created by me... only that... and what i must have inside the files?

Sorry for this stupid question, but im perfect newbie with torque.

Thanks

In common/ui there is a defaultProfiles.cs that should have all of the default class based profiles. The visual definitions of the controls are stored in these profiles. You may also have a defaultProfiles.cs and a customProfiles.cs in your mod directories.

Try copying the defaultProfiles.cs to your new directory and see if that fixes your issues.

You need to add exec("~/ui/defaultProfiles.cs"); before any exec's for gui's.

Also double check that there is code similar to this:

if(!isObject(GuiDefaultProfile)) new GuiControlProfile (GuiDefaultProfile)
{
   tab = false;
   canKeyFocus = false;
   hasBitmapArray = false;
   mouseOverSelected = false;

   // fill color
...

in the defaultProfiles.cs file.

If I remember correctly the code looks first for the profile you specified on the control then for one named "GuiDefaultProfile" if it can't find the first.
