Title: Backgrounds for GUI (SOLVED)
Post by: WackyWildCard on Thu 30/12/2004 01:46:15
 ???I can't seem to make the narration text and dialog text have a nicely designed graphic GUI background ???
Could it be a problem with the latest version of AGS?
Please help, I need your Technical Wisdom.

Thanks Again for your Great Help!

I don't understand, how is it "not working"?

Ok, for example, I want all the text in my game that is displayed to have a certain graphic background. I designed a neat crumpled paper effect backgroud. I uploaded into the Sprite selection. Then I made a new GUI (GUI #3) and I typed  in number of the Sprite of the crumpled paper from the Sprite selection. Also, from the General Menu, I selected: Text uses Gui 3. Now, when I start my game, the text does not have any background. Am I missing something?  ???

Did you happen to check the "Always display text as speech" option? Uncheck it and see if it makes a difference.

(This is for normal text, for dialogs, speeches, they normally don't use a GUI, if you want to have a GUI for them also, you have to toy around with those dialog options in the editor.)

How big is the background sprite?  I believe that  it must larger than the size of the text box as it is not tiled as is done in html browsers.
