There should really be a "how to add GUI/window" video tutorial in wiki. Because I found it really hard to understand how to add windows and I still haven't found out how to do it.

this is something I guess I could do later,
can't code much complicated stuff as we are going
in-depth on game design for sunday

He said he didn't make it,
although I believe this is something he missed while reading

My english isn't exactly over-developed. =p So that's why it would be great with a Video tutorial so that I could see how it's done. Then I could add all types of things. Zanval would be great if you could make one!

have to find a program for recording first

i used fraps or gamecam til now.

Fraps = 30secs max
Gamecam = Games Only...

UMMM

I have problems understanding most of it.
What I'm trying to do is to add a chat window in the size 400x250, I've made the GRH for it:

Code:

'*******New chat window****
Grh2868=1-900-0-0-512-256

And I've added most of the vb6 codes, but I don't understand what to do in the /data/skins?

Zanval · **Posted:** Sat Apr 26, 2008 9:25 am

ok in data\skins you have many .inis and dats

the inis hold default values,
the .dats hold modified values (window positions if the user moved the chat to upper right maybe

)

now you don't NEED a .dat entry,
but it's nice to have for some windows.

you make a new entry like the ones of the other windows.

[CHATWINDOW2]
....
