RELEASED Overlay Window Project

Hey Guys,

I am sure some of you can remeber how I cried about the white window that appears if you are starting the engine. Well, Richi007 wrote me and we started a little project to create an overlay window that you can customize.

You can create a design yourself, it should be around 600x400 if you are having some transparency in it. If you don't you can make it 500x350 to cover the white window. You can do several things with our starter:

  • start your game
  • close the starter and don't start the game
  • search for an update of your game
  • play a sound in the background
  • can show a text in an external window with greetings, a help or something you want to tell everybody
  • after your game you can have a window that is showing up and that will guide the user to your homepage or whatever
  • edit the design and everything with an xml file


The code is done by Richi007 (Felix) and the designs are from me, you can use them if you want.

The Version is finished, download it here

Now you have the option between SWF and other video formats!

We have only one big problem:
We have no manual at the moment!

This already possible simple with few line code I tried it with VC and worked fine. Do you use Delphi?

Hey,

yes, the main code is simple, but you won't be able to update your game, read a help file, edit ingame options, go to a website when the game is closed or sth. like this. No, we are using Visual Studio and C# (afaik, ask Richi007 for this, this time I only provided designs laugh )

Hey Guys,
here is our first Publish!!!!
It is out!
really! grin
http://www.masterq32.de/download/GSStartupScreen.zip

You can test it with a simple click on "GamestudioStartup.exe"...
The window(s) are defined in style.xml, so those two files are required minimal.

I have to work on the a manual (don't know how good it will be, maybe only a description of all avialable tags), but you will get some manual...
Try out!
