How do I put the url in the load game screen so when people load my game they can click on a internet shortcut?

Create a "GuiBitmapButtonCtrl", load a image in the bitmap section (if you'd like, or just name it) then in the command section use 

"gotoWebpage("http://www.reallyreallygoodthings.com/");

of course put your own website in there (or use ours). =P

Just a thought but it might not be a good place to put a link to a site while the game is loading. Best thing IMO would be before or after the game has loaded.

Wade,

Basically you need to create an MLText control on your page that has the link written in Torque's own TML format (Torque Markup Language). Look into the helpGui stuff for some examples of how it works.

In the meantime, however . . .

Hope this helps.

I've had problems with just using the single link without an end tag - so I use it with the trailing tag like: WeCreateGames.com!

PS - Gool stuff on your reallyreallygoodthings.com site!

This works as well.

desc5 = "Android Maker Mod\n";
