Summary | 0004154: DR doesn't show readable background image changes | ||||
Description | The default behavior for a multi-page readable is to show the same background image for every page. This is how the standard multi-page gui is written. It's possible, however, to upgrade the standard gui so that a different background image can be used for each page. TDM understands how to read the upgraded gui, and does what it's supposed to do: show the background image the gui is defining per page. However, DR's Readable Editor assumes the background image never changes. This makes it difficult for people who want to include images on their readable pages. Please enhance the Readable Editor to account for a different background image per page. In other words, use the code in the gui definition to show the background instead of assuming the same background on each page. | ||||

In the custom gui for a readable that uses different images, the following routine handles the image changes as the pages turn. "ContentsFadeIn" gets called with each page turn, which is why I added the code here. windowDef ContentsFadeIn { notime 1 onTime 0 { transition "leftTitle::forecolor" "0 0 0 0" "0 0 0 0.8" READABLE_FADE_TIME; transition "rightTitle::forecolor" "0 0 0 0" "0 0 0 0.8" READABLE_FADE_TIME; transition "leftBody::forecolor" "0 0 0 0" "0 0 0 0.8" READABLE_FADE_TIME; transition "rightBody::forecolor" "0 0 0 0" "0 0 0 0.8" READABLE_FADE_TIME; // Since "BackgroundFadeIn" isn't called each time a page turns (the background is // assumed to be constant by the standard readable gui code), we have to add // extra code here to handle per-page background images, since "ContentsFadeIn" IS // called with each page turn. // The following code handles the background image change as pages // are turned. As of DR 2.02, DR can't handle image changes, so you // have to refer to this section to make sure your text is appropriate // for the image on a particular page. // If you prepend pages, make sure the numbers checked here match the expected behavior. if ("gui::curPage" == 1) { set "backgroundImage::background" "guis/assets/readables/books/image1"; } else if ("gui::curPage" == 2) { set "backgroundImage::background" "guis/assets/readables/books/image2"; } else if ("gui::curPage" == 3) { set "backgroundImage::background" "guis/assets/readables/books/image3"; } else if ("gui::curPage" == 4) { set "backgroundImage::background" "guis/assets/readables/books/image4"; } else if ("gui::curPage" == 5) { set "backgroundImage::background" "guis/assets/readables/books/image5"; } else if ("gui::curPage" == 6) { set "backgroundImage::background" "guis/assets/readables/books/image6"; } } } |

Not as easy as it sounds, as GUI scripting support is only rudimentary existent in DR. | |
This is especially tricky since the referred GUI variable gui::curPage is set by a D3 script (in tdm_readables.script). | |
If it's too tricky, then leave it as is. | |
Is it possible to point me to an example GUI where this is used? The mission name would be enough. Otherwise I'd need to construct my own GUI to investigate the problem again. | |
Attached "journal.pk4". Use the readable editor to edit the book on the desk, and scroll through the pages. Note that the image on the right-hand page doesn't change. Play the mission "Journal". Frob the book and scroll through the pages. Note that the right-hand images change. If an author is trying to provide an image background where text will float around images, rather than just having the image as a background, they won't be able to do it because the page-to-page gui doesn't change in the readable editor. |

Thanks for the PK4! | |
After the recent GUI advancements needed to run the readme.txt/darkmod.txt GUI previews this turned out to be rather easy. Fixed in 5f88cde5. | |
Great! Thank you. | |

Resolve 0004154: DR doesn't show readable background image changes. While DR is unlikely to support every possible case (especially stuff driven by a game script), this particular GUI as reported in the issue report can be supported by running the GUI script in ContentsFadeIn and setting the gui::curPage state variable as done by TDM's readable GUI code. |
