RELEASED Overlay Window Project

Hey Guys,

I am sure some of you can remeber how I cried about the white window that appears if you are starting the engine. Well, Richi007 wrote me and we started a little project to create an overlay window that you can customize.

You can create a design yourself, it should be around 600x400 if you are having some transparency in it. If you don't you can make it 500x350 to cover the white window. You can do several things with our starter:

  • start your game
  • close the starter and don't start the game
  • search for an update of your game
  • play a sound in the background
  • can show a text in an external window with greetings, a help or something you want to tell everybody
  • after your game you can have a window that is showing up and that will guide the user to your homepage or whatever
  • edit the design and everything with an xml file


The code is done by Richi007 (Felix) and the designs are from me, you can use them if you want.

The Version is finished, download it here

I like the project, and I plan to use it in my game.
Is it possible to not use any buttons but just load the game with the overlay panel on top of it?

It seems that the developer don't know how to fix it, or he haven't been here since months

hey guys
i checked my samples out and they worked without recompiling
simple debugging and i found my fault:
in my stlye.xml:
Code:
<style windowtitle="EngineWindow">


and the you need to call a simple line of code in your main function:
Code:
video_window(NULL,NULL,NULL,"EngineWindow");



this "EngineWindow" is the most important part!
this is the Title of the engine window
my program searches for this title and as long as this title does not exists, the overlay window won't work correct!
