Hello.

I used a mod and made a tutorial regarding the subject. You may take a look:

I hope to be of help.

 

Do you have the code, only to plop the screenshot into a place on a Save or Restore Gui? Here are both guis I am referring to.  Early stages with no graphics yet. The screenshot would be above the buttons.

This is wonderful!  I came upon it too late though.  How unfortunate for me.

Thanks.

Can you tell me where "lstSaveGamesList.FillSaveGameList" is being initialized?  I am getting an Undefined token '1stSaveGamesList'

Also, should I be clicking on the link (BASS, Sierra, Verb Coin: updated find_save_slot(), fix going over limit) and use that code?

Code: ags

Sierra-style/function show_save_game_dialog()
{
  // get the list of save games
  lstSaveGamesList.FillSaveGameList();
  if (lstSaveGamesList.ItemCount > 0)
  {
    // if there is at least one, set the default text
    // to be the first game's name
    txtNewSaveName.Text = lstSaveGamesList.Items[0];
  }
  else
  {
    // no save games yet, so default to empty text
    txtNewSaveName.Text = "";
  }
  open_gui(gSaveGame);
}
function show_restore_game_dialog()
{
  lstRestoreGamesList.FillSaveGameList();
  open_gui(gRestoreGame);
}

Very good, that's what I am needing.

I am referencing the windows that are called using SaveGameDialog()/RestoreGameDialog()
See attached image - When clicking on the buttons they will execute the above, which pulls up a gray box and that's what I would like to replace and also would like to see the code to replicate saving, loading, etc.

Is there a way to customize the default Load/Save window with different colors and font?  Also, were does it reside?  I can't find code for it.

Thank you, Kris. This worked perfectly!

I have gui's for all my characters and the gui stays on the screen with text until it is clicked and then the gui goes away.  I created a non character gui with a label for text and made the gui pause game when shown and clickable but it doesn't work if it is clicked on. I have to put a "wait" in between to even see it. so I have to do a gui.enabled true - a wait - then a guu.enabled = false. What do I need to have the gui stay on the screen and wait for the player to click on it?

That was it! Yikes how did I miss that?  I kept making the gui bigger. Thank you so much.

The gui is Height 240 and Width 320.  Can it be the text is larger than the hotspot?

When the mouse rolls over a hotspot, text is displayed of what the hotspot is.  The text is being truncated.  How do I fix this?

This is in the global script: 

Code: ags

  x = mouse.x + 20;
  y = mouse.y + 20;

//  if (x - gGui9.Width > 320) { 
//      x = 320 - gGui9.Width; }
//  if (y - gGui9.Height > 200) { 
//      y = 200 - gGui9.Height; }
//  gGui9.SetPosition(mouse.x, mouse.y);
  
  if (mouse.y > 240/2) y = mouse.y - 10;
      else y = mouse.y+10;
  if (mouse.x > 320/2) x = mouse.x -10;
      else x = mouse.x+10;
  gGui9.SetPosition(mouse.x, mouse.y);

Here is a sample of the truncation:

Nice! Thanks.

Thank you Vincent for your suggestion.  I ended up doing moves.  I was looking for a quick way, like move object 1 to hotspot 1, without have to figure out the coordinates.

Code: ags

Wait(10);
      object[1].Move(85, 95, 5, eNoBlock, eAnywhere);
      Wait(2);
      object[2].Move(135, 95, 5, eNoBlock, eAnywhere);
      Wait(2);
      object[3].Move(185, 95, 5, eNoBlock, eAnywhere);
      Wait(2);
      object[4].Move(85, 145, 5, eNoBlock, eAnywhere);
      Wait(2);

I have a slider puzzle with 9 squares (hotspots) and 8 of them have an object on them. How can I create a "reset" and have all the objects go back onto the hotspots where they originally came from?

Thanks.

For speech files, are there any best practices for using WAV or MP3?

Ok that worked. The "Leave As Is" was selected so I changed it to top left pixel.

I am working on a very old game and have imported it into the latest version. I have been updating some of the graphics and when I do an import for a sprite, it has a black background instead of a transparent background. How do I fix this?

Disregard previous post.  I am going to do something different with this. Thank you for your help!
