Title: Suggestion: Custom save/restore/quit GUIs in template
Post by: GarageGothic on Fri 02/05/2003 11:11:18
I think it's great that there is a custom inventory window GUI in the new game template. But maybe there should also be custom save/restore/quit/settings GUIs - if only to make it easier to customize the colors and look of those windows, not necessarily the functions. I just hate those ugly grey boxes. It would also make sense to have LucasArts style save/load screens along with the LucasArts interface and Sierra style settings screen along with the Sierra GUI.

Edit: Sorry for posting in the wrong forum. I just figured that it was  a beginner sort of question, and besides,  it wasn't really an AGS engine suggestion for Chris, more of a suggestion for those out there making templates.

There was this link I made a while back Save and Load GUI Code Here!
(http://www.agsforums.com/yabb/index.php?board=2;action=display;threadid=2693;start=0) which might give some code ideas maybe.

I found RickJ's code for BlueGUI (http://www.art-heart-soul.com/blusoft/Download/download.html) handy to look through for some ideas too.

Hope some of this might help.   ;)
