GUI menu always appears when game is loaded

[Akril15]

Hello,

I'm new to AGS, and I've run into a small problem with two GUIs that I downloaded. I'm using LucasFan's KQV template (from Shimbleshanks' page) and Joe Carl's Save/Load and Overwrite GUI.

My problem is very simple: whenever I load a saved game, the Options menu (in the KQV template there's a separate GUI menu for the Save, Restore, Restart, and Quit buttons) always appears. I don't want it to appear, because it's too much of a hassle to click it out of the way every time a game is loaded. It's also visible whenever I click the button that brings up the Save/Restore GUI.

I've tried entering the InterfaceOff command at what I considered to be appropriate lines in the script, and this somehow ended up rendering not only the Options menu, but the icon bar permanently invisible when I restored a game. Otherwise, the two GUIs seem perfectly compatible with each other, and I'm sure I'm missing something fairly basic. Still, I think I need some advice on how to fix this problem before I do something incredibly stupid.

Here are the two relevant sections of the global script:

KQV Options GUI:

Code: ags

////////////////////////////////////////////////
// Options-GUI                                //
////////////////////////////////////////////////

if (interface == 2) {  
    if (button == 0) SetGameSpeed(GetSliderValue(2,0)); // slider for gamespeed
    else if (button == 1) SetMusicMasterVolume(GetSliderValue(2,1)); // slider for musicvolume
    else if (button == 2) game.text_speed = GetSliderValue(2,2); // slider for textspeed
    else { 
     InterfaceOff(2);
     InterfaceOn(0);
      if (button == 3) SaveGameDialog();  //save game
      if (button == 4) RestartGame();       // restart game
      if (button == 5) { SetCursorMode(6); InterfaceOff(2); InterfaceOn(3); } // quit game
      if (button == 6) Display("Eine King's Quest-Demo füare AGS. Weitere Informationen auf Adventure-Treff.de"); // about
      SetDefaultCursor();
      }
   }

Overwrite and Save/Restore GUI:

Code: ags

#sectionstart overwriteSI_btn_Click  // DO NOT EDIT OR REMOVE THIS LINE
function overwriteSI_btn_Click(GUIControl *control, MouseButton button) {
 int p = 0;
while(p<=partidas.ItemCount){
  if((partidas.ItemCount>p)&&(partidas.Items[p]==guardar.Text)){
UnPauseGame();
gOverwrite.Visible=false;
gSaverestore.Visible=false;
cerrar.Enabled=true;
SaveGameSlot(savegameindex[p], guardar.Text);
partidas.FillSaveGameList();
guardar.Text="";
Display("Game overwritten");
return;
} 
p++;  
}
  
  
  
}
#sectionend overwriteSI_btn_Click  // DO NOT EDIT OR REMOVE THIS LINE

#sectionstart overwriteNO_btn_Click  // DO NOT EDIT OR REMOVE THIS LINE

}

UnPauseGame();

Thanks in advance.

EDIT: fixed formatting problems.

In this part of the code, you need to make the options menu invisible. I wasn't able to find the name in the code, so I just called it gOptions here:

Code: ags

#sectionstart saverestore_Click  // DO NOT EDIT OR REMOVE THIS LINE
function saverestore_Click(GUIControl *control, MouseButton button) {
  partidas.FillSaveGameList();
  gOptions.Visible=false; //LINE ADDED
  gSaverestore.Visible=true;
  mouse.UseModeGraphic(eModePointer);
}
#sectionend saverestore_Click  // DO NOT EDIT OR REMOVE THIS LINE

In case you really are new gOptions should be translated to g and name of the gui,if using 2.72 otherwise just the name of the gui.

Okay -- I renamed the Options GUI (which was previously called GUI2) to "OPTIONS" and added the new line to the code, and at first I was getting the same problem I had before with the icon bar (GUI0) being invisible, but "gGUI0.Visible=true" easily fixed that problem.

I think this problem can be considered solved. Thank you for helping me so quickly, you two.

No trouble..
