Found a bug in GGSplash.gui and TGESplash.gui. The ::click() functions should use the fade-in control names, not the root GUI names. Uploaded new files to reflect changes.

ran through it, where does the code from 2.5 go into?

Code sample 2.5 (loadMainMenu method) is placed at the bottom of TGESplash.gui.

I can't get the main menu to appear when I start the program, the GG and TGE thing work fine but then it just turns black, and nothing in the coding appears to be wrong.

For anyone having problems, have you checked your console for error messages? There might be a missing file, warning, or syntax error that could be important.

I didn't see any error messages in my console. But I only saw the GG splash screen fade up and down. Then nothing. I then replaced all my gui files with the project files. Now it works.

Then I noticed that I didn't properly name the GuiFadeinBitmapCtrl. In my TGESplash.gui file, it said:
new GuiFadeinBitmapCtrl()
when it should've said:
new GuiFadeinBitmapCtrl(TGE_FadeInCtrl)
Note the above lines are from the part of the code the GUI editor generates (above the //--- OBJECT WRITE END ---).
I hope this helps someone.

I was having problems with the Main Menu not appearing. I verified that my scripts matched the tutorials exactly, but the Main Menu wouldn't load.Then I noticed that I didn't properly name the GuiFadeinBitmapCtrl. In my TGESplash.gui file, it said:
new GuiFadeinBitmapCtrl()
when it should've said:
new GuiFadeinBitmapCtrl(TGE_FadeInCtrl)
Note the above lines are from the part of the code the GUI editor generates (above the //--- OBJECT WRITE END ---).
I hope this helps someone.

I didn't really find the UI tutorial that good. It tells you to copy some files without giving their location, and in addition includes requests for some files that are not present in TGE 1.5.2.
#13
@Ian - The doc tells you the destination folder is "images" folder. I don't know what you mean about requesting files not present in TGE 1.5.2. The project is written almost from scratch.

@Tom - Thanks for the bug fix@Ian - The doc tells you the destination folder is "images" folder. I don't know what you mean about requesting files not present in TGE 1.5.2. The project is written almost from scratch.

@ALL - PLEASE! If you have a copy of this resource, can you host it for me or e-mail me the files so I can get these back online. I would be very appreciative!

Unfortunately all my resources have gone down since the site hosting the files has a dead subscription. I'm still trying to find local copies of everything.@ALL - PLEASE! If you have a copy of this resource, can you host it for me or e-mail me the files so I can get these back online. I would be very appreciative!

The files would be really useful, if someone can re-upload them.
