Ok let me explain, i used this tutorial   http://www.mindwavemedia.com/warchamber.shtml
here it is on the right side bar

but i used that tutorial to teach me to edit the gui, like moving around the stuff and changing other things.  I got every thing moved around to where i wanted it but the picutres i converted from jpg to paa cant be found when i start up my game to see if i got it working right.

inserting pictures into the gui is the only problem i have had with the thing.

Presumably you have constructed a custom resource file to display your GUI.

You should check the paths to any picture file, make sure they are correct.

For example:

 text = "MyPicture.paa";

If the picture is PBO'ed along with the rest of your pictures and the PBO is put in the Addons folder, that line should read :

 text = "Mypbo\MyPicture.paa";

or possibly

 text = "\Mypbo\MyPicture.paa";
