Title: Save/load/exit menus graphics
Post by: on Fri 26/12/2003 19:29:11
Hi! I'm an italian guy (forget my English...  :-[ ), quite new to AGS.
While building up my game I thought it'll be nice to have my own graphics in save/load
and exit menus. My problem is: how can i change them? I think that for buttons i should change
directly the related sprites, but for backgrounds? There are no related sprites (i hope i'm not blind...)!

Thanx!

You need to open a Room Editor and load a certain room, you want to change the backround for. Next, find an Import background button and choose a graphic source file to import a new background ontop. Make sure it has the same size as a previous one, otherwise all room masks would be reset.

~Cheers

What i meant was to change the background in the small windows--save/load and so.
Actually i'm quite used to insert my own background in rooms.
Probably i expressed in the wrong way---sorry!
Anyway--thank you!

Ah, yeah sorry. And the answer - you can't change the graphics of the built-in save/load dialogs. Instead you need to create you own save/load/exit GUIs and attach some save/load script. This way you'll be able to change everything related.

Have a look at the thead that banner below leads to, seeing the GUI screenshots. It's rather easy to put up the GUIs itself, but the scripts for save/load are a bit more complicated. I suggest you consult BlueGUI or some tutorial for some tips... I did copy my save/load from BlueGUI, editing them a bit to suit my needs. I don't remember the address, but RickJ's signature has a link to BlueGUI's homepage...

A lot of thanx to Scorpiorus and TK! I'll "follow" the link-it's time to learn more about scripting...  :)
