I own the pro version of A7, and now tried to modify the startup window. Manual says to check the "starter" option upon publishing, but all I get in the publishing process is: wdfc.exe: No starter window definition found! and at the end: Autobind: 1. Skipped: H:\ArtWork\3DGS\CSIS\LiteC\acknex.wdf Running the game works, but it just displays the normal startup window. This is my CSiS.wdl (CSiS.c is the main file with function main in it which is published):
WINDOW WINSTART
{
TITLE "My Simulator";
SIZE 480,320;
MODE IMAGE;
BG_COLOR RGB(240,240,240);
FRAME FTYP1,0,0,480,320;
BUTTON BUTTON_START,SYS_DEFAULT,"Start",400,288,72,24;
BUTTON BUTTON_QUIT,SYS_DEFAULT,"Abort",400,288,72,24;
SET FONT "Arial", RGB(255,255,255);
TEXT "Get ready...", 0,0;
TEXT_STDOUT "Arial",RGB(0,0,0),10,10,460,280;
PICTURE <Logo.pcx>,OPAQUE,10,10;
PROGRESS RGB(0,0,255), 10, 0, 300, 400, 20;
COMMAND "-diag";
}
PATH "GFX\\Particle";

Hi!
Did you try to make the starter file before anything else.
Then publish the exe.
I don't know if this is important, but I always place the paths before
the WINDOW WINSTART.
edit : publish starter from WED with only the starter box
checked

I tried publishing only the starter, though haven't tried from WED yet. Will try it when I get home.
That means I have to move around scripts/level files though, which is rather annoying. But oh well...
Thanks!
I'll post as soon as I tried...

if a starter window only works in wed then how are we supposed to aply it to a published game?
Do not concern yourself with my race, personality or origin. find my record in the pits, and then make your wager.

Hi!
To answer your questions?
The starter file must be created in WED before the creation of the .exe
and then it works in SED or WED
and when you publish the game (.exe) it follows
all the code to the .cd folder.
So when you execute the game from SED or WED or the .exe
the starter will be there ( in the .cd and in the work folder)
and work like you want it until you change it or remove it.
