GUI Editor & Dialogs

iceman77 · July 13, 2007

Just recently I've started to use the BI GUI EDITOR. I've created a dialog layout using the tool, I just don't know how to get it into the game. All's I get is CTD. This is my first attempt at a dialog & I realize that some things may be missing, so please be gentle :p. The dialog is a yes/no dialog for a SP campaign.

GUI Editor Format, for anyone interested in importing it into the GUI Tool to take a look (for w/e reason).

$[1.03,[[0,0,1,1],0.03125,0.05],[1600,"",[1,"YES",["0.408929 * safezoneW + safezoneX","0.534286 * safezoneH + safezoneY","0.0583333 * safezoneW","0.07 * safezoneH"],[-1,-1,-1,-1],[-1,-1,-1,-1],[-1,-1,-1,-1],""],[]],[1601,"",[1,"NO",["0.531548 * safezoneW + safezoneX","0.535238 * safezoneH + safezoneY","0.0583333 * safezoneW","0.07 * safezoneH"],[-1,-1,-1,-1],[-1,-1,-1,-1],[-1,-1,-1,-1],""],[]],[1800,"",[1,"Side Objective",["0.38988 * safezoneW + safezoneX","0.216189 * safezoneH + safezoneY","0.220833 * safezoneW","0.404762 * safezoneH"],[-1,-1,-1,-1],[-1,-1,-1,-1],[-1,-1,-1,-1],""],[]],[1200,"",[1,"#(argb,8,8,3)color(1,1,1,1)",["0.427381 * safezoneW + safezoneX","0.246667 * safezoneH + safezoneY","0.144643 * safezoneW","0.170952 * safezoneH"],[-1,-1,-1,-1],[-1,-1,-1,-1],[-1,-1,-1,-1],""],[]],[1000,"",[1,"Objective: Destroy The Shilka",["0.40238 * safezoneW + safezoneX","0.430476 * safezoneH + safezoneY","0.191666 * safezoneW","0.0280952 * safezoneH"],[-1,-1,-1,-1],[-1,-1,-1,-1],[-1,-1,-1,-1],""],[]],[1001,"",[1,"Do You Accept?",["0.401786 * safezoneW + safezoneX","0.497143 * safezoneH + safezoneY","0.105357 * safezoneW","0.0290477 * safezoneH"],[-1,-1,-1,-1],[-1,-1,-1,-1],[-1,-1,-1,-1],""],[]]]

Description.ext - This is what I'm not understanding. The CT,ST, ... Defines. Are these constants (what exactly is a constant?) names built into the game that must be used? Or are they just an example or just good naming practice? Also, I'm sure the file is missing some things. Any help is greatly appeciated.

Ive tried dialogs before a gave up after the CTD's, but now Ive seen your other post about dialog tutorials. was wondering what tutorial you used? or did you just mess with the BI GUI EDITOR

das attorney · October 27, 2009

Defines. Are these constants (what exactly is a constant?) names built into the game that must be used? Or are they just an example or just good naming practice?

Re: Defines:

They are just values you set yourself to assist with building dialogs.

If you wanted, you could set it to:

#define OMG_NOT_MOVING                                                                 0 
#define THIS_IS_A_BUTTON                                                                1 
#define edit_style_note_how_this_is_in_lower_case                               2 
#define woooooooooooooo_slider_MIXING_CAPS_wItH_nOn_capS           3 
#define check_OUT_ThiS_comBo                                                           4

instead of:

#define CT_STATIC                                                                              0 
#define CT_BUTTON                                                                             1 
#define CT_EDIT                                                                                  2 
#define CT_SLIDER                                                                               3

and every time you needed to refer to a static dialog, you would then use OMG_NOT_MOVING to represent the value 2

The numbers on the right are important, not the define. You can use them without the defines. Defining values makes it easier down the line when you have to refer to it in other code. For a good lesson on how defines are better than typing "1" or "7" every time you build a dialog, check out the code in DayZ. There's some beautiful use of defines ( if that's your thing ;) )

here's what I have so far. I used the Bi GUI Editor and the awesomely vague wiki. Unfortunately no tutorials. I'm still trying to find a good one.

Okay thanks das, that clarifies some things.

I've got an annoying error when I create the dialog.No entry 'bin\config.bin/CfgFontFamilies.'. The dialog works fine , and shows the text. Though I'm not sure why it shows the error, or if it shows the correct font. What is wrong here? No addons what so ever are loaded.

not sure if this is of any use to you, password system i made - same principle

Thankyou Mikie.

Okay the fontFamilies error has been fixed. Apparently, you can't set a font to an empty string. I noticed it was empty on the "background" or BOX class I had created. Figured I could leave it empty, as i wasn't using the box to create text. In short, font = "" is a no go.So I had to still define a font for BOX. I couldn't even take font out completely because that even threw up another error.

mikie boy · June 20, 2009

yep just confirmed that - but its because you do use box, so im guessing thats why you had the error -

class Ice_BOX: BOX

by the way nice concept - shout me if you need any help with it :)

may find this useful (or not) i edited your scripts into the separate gui scripts - just easier to read and narrow down errors.

How come some styles don't have to be defined?

class RscFrame
{
   type = CT_STATIC;
   idc = -1;
   [color=#ff0000]style = 64;[/color]
   shadow = 2;
   colorBackground[] = {1,1,1,1};
   colorText[] = {1,1,1,0.9};
   font = "Bitstream";
   sizeEx = 0.03;
   text = "";
};

Regarding my dialog, style 64 is defined nowhere. See below if needed.

// Control types
#define CT_STATIC           0
#define CT_BUTTON           1
#define CT_EDIT             2

Because the hexadecimal of 64 is 40...

#define ST_FRAME 0x40

I see. I'm not sure I understand why though. Why not just use the more commonly known, number of 64? Anyhow, those were some base defines from the wiki, so I didn't bother to understand all of the 0x# stuff. So now I'll look into this hexadecimal business :j: << f**k that.

Thanks for helping me understand I appreciate that.
