To startup the editor with a working mouse cursor, TDM must be running in "windowed" mode (Thanks, freqk). Didn't see menu bleaching now either. Editor is still broken though. "New" does nothing, and "Open File" on existing .gui file gives popup "File Not Found" error. |

I think it would be right to say that it is not supported. In fact, the plan was to remove ALL in-game editors after some replacement for AF editor is found (0005333). |

In an ideal world, the editGuis functionality would be in DR or standalone, but either looks to me like a heavy lift. So I was poking around a bit in VS2022, seeing if I could restore it within TDM. I only made a small amount of progress. Still not really working, and my limited understanding of the code makes further progress unclear. As noted before, as pre-req, TDM must be in windowed mode for the cursor to be visible. Also, file I/O assumes the .gui file location of interest is not inside a .pk4 I don't know about the situation if you to sought to use editGuis for core guis. But for mapper guis, and assuming a specific <FM> is selected, that /<FM>/ should be included in the path. To do that, in file GEWorkspacefile.cpp in 3 places, change path as follows - 1) In NewFile(), change ospath = fileSystem->RelativePathToOSPath ( "guis/Untitled.guiednew", "fs_basepath" ); to ospath = fileSystem->RelativePathToOSPath("guis/Untitled.guiednew", "fs_modSavePath"); 2,3) In SaveFile() and LoadFile(), change ospath = fileSystem->RelativePathToOSPath ( tempfile, "fs_basepath" ); to ospath = fileSystem->RelativePathToOSPath(tempfile, "fs_modSavePath"); However, if you then load a .gui associated with the <FM>, you can see in the debugger that it is being parsed. But the background of the editGuis window, where the gui should render, instead continues to show the main TDM window (with the console exposed too). Aargh. |

FYI, the reference material link above is obsolete; use: https://iddevnet.dhewm3.org/quake4/GUIEditor.html Also: - I experimented with a minor code tweak to NOT hide the main TDM game window. Just open GUIS Editor above it. Seems a bit nicer. - I'm writing up some GUI scripting articles for the wiki. One on editguis in idTech4 games generally will point here. |
