Display Option Boxes and may other boxes are blank

by Bryan Walters · in Torque Game Engine · 12/15/2001 (3:24 pm) · 6 replies

Hi Guys,
After just getting the head torque revision about two days ago and compiling it with CodeWarrior I have found out that my display boxes in Options or the save boxes for the Gui editor and stuff is not there and I have no reason why. This is a big problem since I cannot do anything until its fixed cause #1 I can't save Gui's to where I need them #2 I can't see where things are and #3 I have no in game display options.........Has anyone else had this problem? Does anyone know how to fix this problem?????????If so it would be greatly appreicated....(Please don't mind if there are any spelling errors, I don't feel like checking for that right now)


Thanks,
Bryan

I'm working with Bryan on fixing this, but I've not been able to reproduce the problem. Basically all the gui drop-down controls come up blank. Anybody else seen this?

Well Tim and I got the problem fixed. I guess when I got the head version from cvs I didn't get all the fonts that I needed so the boxes where blank so I owe Tim a great big Thanks...........................

The problem is that your missing a font on your windows system. Normally the fonts are shipped with the game, but during development they are created on the fly. The problem is you need to have the fonts loaded in your windows system for the engine to be able to creat them.

We really need to narrow down which font it is and remove it's use from the scripts. We've been trying to keep the fonts used in the test app down to common windows fonts. I just gave Bryan a copy of all the fonts in my cache and that got him going.

Ah. Could you mail them in a zip to panth9996@hotmail.com if it isn't too much trouble?
