Splash Screen Manager control - guiSplashMgrCtrl

#21 yeah, me too

#22 I'm really glad you have ported this to TGE...

Thanks Ryan!

Edit: This is Awesome, and extremely easy to install!

#23 Quick update. I have the basics working just need to do some fine tuning and it should be good to go. It is a little weird seeing the blood drip down the screen.

#24 cool! cant wait!

#25 tnx a lot for the port!!

#26 Just tried the TGE version, it's working great, thanks again.

#27 I am in the process of making the TGE port of the animated splash item.

#28 wow very coll Ryan...

#29 Ok, the download has been updated with the new guiSplashAnimBitmapCtrl for TGE and TGEA. Just download the file again. I have also updated the doc with the new control and example. Big thanks to deepscratch for the images.

#30 ooh, that IS cool!!!

#31 Torque a la Gears of War!
with this other resource you have explosion of blood!:

¿someone have some examples of emitters of blood? ;D

#32 The new dripping effect is great, really nice work. I'm going to have to mess around with this some more, now that it has animation support I can think of some other things I'll be able to use it for.

oh, and Gears of War = awesome.

#33 question:
anyone know how to get the images, static or animated, to cover the full extents of the screen?

#34 Hey!

I'm getting a whole string of compilation errors with TGEA 1.7.1. All six files have been added to the "engine/source/gui/game" directory, and "engine/gui/game" via Visual Studio. The actual installation guide does not specify any file paths, so if the following error report is not a 1.7.1 compatibiity problem, I'm assuming I've added my files to the wrong place... :-P

I should also mention that initially, I was only getting 3 or 4 errors citing that several of the cpp files in the download make use of "gfx/bitmap/gbitmap.h" includer paths which do not exist in TGEA 1.7.1. (its "gfx/gbitmap.h"). I've deleted the "bitmap" reference for each instance but now I'm getting the following...


Here is the bulk of the error report: (24 comp errors in total)

Anyone else had problems with TGEA 1.7.1 ?

#35 @deepscractch, you test changing the size of the control?, or the extend?

@Richard, you cant delete references, search the name or folder of the new file, then clean your solution before build.

#36 @deepscratch, I resize the control based on the size of the image. I think I will change it so you can specify image bounds or to use the window bounds.

@Richard, there were a lot of engine changes between 1.7.1 and 1.8.1. I can take a look at a port to 1.7.1 later tonight when I get home tonight. When I ported the guiAdvBarHud from 1.7 to 1.8 I discovered just how much changed. But give me some time and I will have it working for you.

#37 @Javier - Thanks for the response! What I meant, was that I'd simply changed all of the "gfx/bitmap/gbitmap.h" lines to reflect the correct 1.7.1 path of "gfx/gbitmap.h" (which seemed to work!).

@Ryan - Thanks for your help! I had a feeling that this was a 1.7.1 compatibility problem! I haven't had a chance to port my projects across to 1.8.1 yet (been putting it off!), so if you can help with this I'd appreciate it! :-)


Thanks,

Rich H.

#38 @Javier,
yes, tried both.

@Ryan, that would be great, I'm trying to get a fullscreen effect of water drops on the screen when going out of a water object

#39 Ok, new file uploaded. There is now a new property FitScreen that is you set to true will stretch the image to the screen size. I also included console methods to access from script. This has been updated for all versions. There is also a version for TGEA 1.7.1, I have not fully tested it so if you have any problems please let me know. Enjoy!

#40 Excellent, thanks! :-)
