Saving screen doesn't work
« on: June 04, 2008, 11:14:48 AM »

Hi all,

Setting up my loading/saving screens to use with the 'Saved Games' section. Created two .jpgs, almost identical except that one has text 'Loading', the other 'Saving'. Output them from Photoshop in the same session. Imported them into the game. Referred to them in the 'Save/Load screen settings.

Project manager can see and display them both.

Load a game - the loading screen appears.
Saving a game - get the bar at the bottom of the screen, but otherwise, game stays in the scene - saving screen does not appear.

I'm stumped. Any ideas?

Thanks

Is the image position set properly? Isn't the image displayed offscreen somewhere? No errors in the log?

Mnem

We did find something in the log, but it didn't look at all related. As items.items tried to load, a few .pngs were misspelt.  :-[  Corrected the spellings - after that, the saving screen worked.

This actually cleared up a couple of other bugs as well with other cursors that wouldn't highlight. ::thumbup

Thanks for pointing us at the log. Lesson for me is that everything has to be clean, even if any error seems unrelated to the problem at hand.

Cheers

Are you using the debug console, by the way? It can be quite helpful, because you can see immediately when the error pops up.
