T1 GUI Scripting question

I made myself a GUI to use as MainMenu , but i'm having problems with making tribes with lodaing it instead of the default MainMenu.gui.
I tried to make a .cs file which contains:
GuiLoadContentCtrl(MainWi ndow, "temp\\New_MainWindow.gui");
and excuting this .cs file via autoexec.cs but it didn't work.
When i execute the script manualy in console it works ,but when i go to another screen and then go back to main screen it switches to default tribes one. Can you please help me with making it work ?

Type out the following in your cosole after you have made the changes:

storeObject("joingameGui","temp\\JoinGame.gui");

This will export the GUI to the file "JoinGame.gui" and have it be in your Tribes\temp directory. Simply move that file into your Tribes\gui and you are set!

hope that helps

You need to force Tribes to load the new one, instead of the old one in Tribes\base\gui.vol

It's easier to do than it sounds, you just need to rename New_MainMenu.gui to MainMenu.gui, and place it in a Tribes\gui folder (You might have to make one).

Thanks a lot it worked :)

Nothing special but i like it :)

thats kinda cool

Dungeons and Dragons?

Looks pretty sweet.

With your own custom buttons, gui's, palettes and animation, you could make a tight Shell replacement.

If i knew how to make new buttons , palletes and animations then i would've done it by now, but i don't .

kris, you should make a nice gui :x

I don't have enough time to :/

Check out FSB-SPY's ColorGui tutorial, and search for GUI Scripting Notes.doc or something on Google, it tells you some cool things you can do with GUI's.
Also there's a few easier ways than tree() like editGui() or something editGuiMode, I forget the command.

You can check out Andrews PPLEdit thread for a brief "Howto" of palette hacking too.
