Problem with Gonzo's 1st GUI tutorial

by Lauri Salo · in Torque Game Engine · 04/01/2006 (1:33 pm) · 3 replies

Hi,

I have done as instructed in the tutorial but the console command "Canvas.pushDialog(DemoGui);" gives EM: "pushDialog: invalid control: DemoGUI".

I did the following:
1) placed the DemoGui.gui to: E:\Torque\SDK\example\starter.fps\client\ui
2) placed exec("./ui/DemoGui.gui"); under // Load up the shell GUIs section in: example\starter.fps\client\init.cs

The tutorial can be found here:
http://www.garagegames.com/index.php?sec=mg&mod=resource&page=view&qid=6482

I have triple checked that I did exactly as instructed.

Any and all help will be highly appreciated!

Lauri

Lauri,

You didn't say what's actually happening, ( or not happening ). Since you had some OpenGl errors, I wonder if you can see anything at all.

Check your OGL driver first.

Thanks Bruno, I managed to solve the problem a couple of hours ago: I had at some stage changed the "$defaultGame" in "main.cs" to point to the wrong game folder. Newbie as I am :)
