Ok, so this post was previously asking why I couldn't get a weapon picture displaying in a RscPicture. Kinda got that working except that the picture flashes on and off constantly and I don't know why. I haven't encountered this before with displaying pictures (albeit custom .jpgs). Dialog: class loadoutMenu { idd = 2000; movingenable = false; onLoad = "nul = [] execVM 'blufor\loadouts\weaponPictures.sqf';"; class Controls { class MainRole_Primary: RscPicture { idc = 2002; text = ""; x = 5 * GUI_GRID_W + GUI_GRID_X; y = 7.5 * GUI_GRID_H + GUI_GRID_Y; w = 8 * GUI_GRID_W; h = 8 * GUI_GRID_H; }; }; }; weaponPictures.sqf: params ["_mainPri"]; waitUntil {!isNull (findDisplay 2000)}; _mainPri = getText (configfile >> 'CfgWeapons' >> 'arifle_MX_GL_ACO_pointer_F' >> 'picture'); ctrlSetText [2002,_mainPri]; So how do I stop it flashing?

At the moment I have a portion of the map showing as part of a dialog that I've created. But, I can't work out how to centre the dialog's map over a position (which I already have stored from an onMapSingleClick command). So, where can I find out how to do this? This is probably the 3rd or 4th post I've started writing with a question on dialogs this arvo, but the first one that I haven't ended up working out for myself.

I finished my design with the controlgroups. But now i have a new problem and i dont get it fixed. I have 3 buttons (RscButton) that represent a menu. When i click on the button, a controlgroup appears. Thats working fine. My problem is that the active button blinks from black to white. So i set period = 0. Thats also working but now my button has no "active color". I just want that the selected button has white as background and black as textcolor. The otherones have white as textcolor and black as background. Thats basicly all i want but i dont get this working. And the color shouldnt change as long as i press a nonmenu button. When i click on an other menubutton then the background gets black again and text white.

Is there a way to set a border and border color of a dialog on the fly (without using a .hpp file). Do I use ctrlSetTooltipColorBox ? Thanks in advance, C.Coco

Hi folks ! Today I encountered some errors with my dialogs. I tried to split my stuff into different files to reorganize it. In this way, I created hpp-files to define engine-related / custom constants (as it's suggested here). So I created 1 file by constant type : controls.hpp (for control types and styles), fonts.hpp (for... fonts) and colors.hpp (for...tadam... colors). I also declare my basic ressource classes (RscText, RscStructuredText, etc...) in dialogs.hpp. All these files are included in my description.ext . This error appears when dialogs - including the color constants - are initialized (dialogs.hpp or CharactersList.h) : 15:33:34 Warning Message: File C:\Users\Steezy\Documents\Arma 3\missions\Test.Stratis\CharactersList.h, line 36: '/RscCharactersList/controlsBackground/MainTitle.': ';' encountered instead of '=' My game crashes if I try to preview the mission through the game editor or on dedicated server with the same error message.

Hi all, i try to work on some Dialogs for my new Multiplayer Mission. I watched a tutorial Video and just did the same as the guy in the video.

I dont get the hint that the dialog couldnt be found and in the game, the Cursor is shown like in the gui in the tutorial, but i cannot see the GUI Elements. So can someone help me, i looked over the whole script and googled it up but i cant find anything what has gone wrong. Also i compared everything to what the guy did in the youtube video and i cant find anything wrong... Here is the youtube Video: Hope that someone can help me. KingEldarion

So I'm having a bit of an issue with my dialog, I can get it to display and all that, but I am trying to get it to populate both listboxes with various objects, and it seems no matter what I do it doesn't work....

Hello, I'm happy to present you ingame tool we're using for internal development for some time. It's simple WYSIWYG editor for Arma 2 and Arma 2: OA user interface. It won't do all work for you, you still have to have basic knowledge about how GUI works and where to define it. However, it can really speed up the process of creating and modifying dialogs and resources. Instruction how to operate the editor can be found on community wiki. I'll appreciate any feedback about bugs and suggestions ;) Download GUI Editor Download Preview Mission Mirrors: armaholic.com arma2base.de This is not an official tool.

Hello, Is it possible to pass BAF second mission without ENDMISSION cheat? It seems that this IED explodes as soon as any soldier hits the trigger. Is it possible to approach this IED in any way? Any tips would be appreciated.
