Main Menu During Game

[Springheel]

still gonna make a button though

 

Any ETA on this?

[Springheel]

Bump.

[Napalm]

The button code works and the settings "restart" code, but my version is outdated. It'd be nice if I could get the updated version to plug the code into so that we dont have to splice it all in (there's a fair amount of changes to make everything function). It now I iwhs I was on CVS.

If it helps for right now, there's a very helpful freeware program called WinMerge that diffs two files and lets you select what to merge into what file in a nice GUI setup. Just search for WinMerge and it should be there.

If you still have your key around, then you should be able to access CVS now. I reenabled your account.

[Napalm]

I do have my key but for some reason it won't checkout. It give me "cvs checkout -P darkmod (in directory C:\)" but then nothing updates. I'm not sure if some part of the setup has changed since I first used it or what.

[Ishtvan]

Often you have to wait a long time before it starts up after that. Like a half hour or so.

[New Horizon]

I've noticed that if a lot of files are very badly out of sync, that it will take ages to start. You're likely better off doing a completely fresh checkout at this point.

[Napalm]

Still not working, Sping if its not to much hassle can I get your copy and just put the code in? i suppose I can try to get CVS working after that but it'de be nice to have the updates

[Springheel]

I'll upload it to ftp tonight.

[sparhawk]

What happens when you try to connect?

Did you delete the darkmod directory and just try downloading fresh again?

[Springheel]

Ok, it's up on FTP, called mainmenu--jan07.rar.

 

It's got all the mainmenu assets as well as the .gui file...I think that's everything you need to be up to date.

[Napalm]

Alright thanks, I'll still try to get CVS up. As I said Spar it connects and gives me the mesage appears tobe loading but nothing happens. I left it for a good while while I was away( maybe 20-30 min) but it didnt even begin updating anything. It ried creating a new checkout repository but that didn't appear to work. What might I try next?

[Springheel]

Waiting 20-30 minutes is not unusual at all. If nothing happens after an hour, then something might be amiss. I'd delete your entire repository and do a full checkout from scratch.

With tortoise, if things start too slow, I start updating each individual directory. Updating a single directory is pretty fast but updating the whole darkmod directory can be slow and frustrating.

Maybe you can't reach my system? I looked into the log and I never saw your connect, which means that you didn't even make it. I know that some people had problems with this, especially from the US, but apparently not all. I think Gild or greebo talks to some company if they would take over the CVS hosting. And I still hope that I can afford a dedicated server, but that will still have to wait at least two months. Yeah, I know I keep saying that for more than a year now, but hope dies last.

That was my suggestion, and I think New Horizon was supposed to contact them. I PMed him asking if he'd done it and he hasn't responded, so I don't know what's going on there.

[Napalm]

yea well, it had worked for me before, so I don't know why it wouldnt know :-/

Waiting to hear back from them. I'll post soon hopefully.

[Crispy]

Ah, okay. That's good. Just hoping it hadn't dropped off the radar.

[Springheel]

So, Napalm, are you getting set up on SVN?

 

It would be nice to get those changes of yours updated, because the next thing we want to do is add all our new keys to the control menu, and that's going to require discussing scrollbars.

[sparhawk]

Napalm hasn't even sent me a password yet.

[Napalm]

Yes I did. Assuming that it work's I'll have the stuff up as soon as I check out and can put the files up

[Napalm]

Rawrr at real life. I have the resume game and exit to main menu stuff set up and have the mod finally synced up. I noticed some problems with the fade ins you added. I'll post the updated stuff as soon as I can, but heres other things that I need to remember to do

 

-Fix fade ins- noevents untill faded

-set fade ins to reoccur when disconnect

-fix so when game crashes form map menu restarts

-restet menu when returning to game

-make warnings for restart changes work with left click???? (for some reaosn they only work with right, I do not get this at all but will have it sorted out soon enough)

 

Also I need a "return" main menu button and mouseover.

 

Theres a couple other minor errors, but I want to finish up these things and get started on load game functionality.
