Title: problems with description.ext
Post by: charunks on 17 Jan 2004, 00:08:09

I have a problem with the description.ext
everytime when I call for this dialog, it gives an error that it has no entry in
the backgroundcolor of Build_center_wall.
As I am a real noob in dialogs, could someone please tell me what I do wrong?

class RscActiveText
{
        type = CT_ACTIVETEXT;
        idc = -1;
        style = ST_LEFT;
        color[] = {1, 1, 1, 1};
        colorActive[] = {1, 0, 0, 1};
        font = FontM;
        sizeEx = 0.04;
        default = false;
};

class wallb
{
  idd = -1;
  movingEnable = true;
  controlsBackground[] = { DEFAULT };
  colorBackground[] = {  };
  objects[] = { };
  controls[] = { Build_center_wall, exit };

   class Build_center_wall: RscActiveText
     {
          idc = 101;
          style = ST_CENTER;
         x = 0.4;
          y = 0.65;
          w = 0.2;
          h = 0.05;
          text = "Build wall $10";
          action = exec "pw.sqs";
          default = true;
     };
   class exit: RscActiveText
     {
          idc = 101;
          style = ST_CENTER;
          x = 0.4;
          y = 0.65;
          w = 0.2;
          h = 0.1;
          text = "exit";
          action = "closeDialog 0";
          default = true;
     };
};

thnx in advance

I'm no expert either, but, maybe you need an entry in the:

colorBackground[] = {  };

something like:

colorBackground[] = {0,0,0,0 };

give it a try.......experiment with the numbers to get different colours.

I think 0, 0, 0........is white.......the final 0 would be the alpha channel setting I imagine.


Edit:  It could be that you need this statement within your
Build_center_wall class thingy.

thnx for helping!

I' ve tried some combinations, but it doesn' t seem to work :(...

edit 2:
I will try the color statement in my center wall class....

edit 3:
It starts whining about the font text, so I think it worked!

thnx again

I am not very experienced in description.ext, but i think you must do 2 things:

1. delete ( i dont know what control of a backrground should be good for, just needs a color

Code: [Select]


controlsBackground[] = { DEFAULT };

2. change

Code: [Select]

colorBackground[] = {  };to

Quote

    colorBackground[] = {0,0,0,1};
