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

And the Lite-C logo is also important. Theoretically A8 doesn't need to be displayed, it's the Lite-C logo that is important. (but I'm not 100% sure)

Instead of guessing, why does nobody points to the thread where JCL said what needed to be displayed and what not?!

@TheLiam: Here you go, JCL says whats needed on Page 4+ http://www.opserver.de/ubb7/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=309765&page=1

I don't really get the point of this project - making a covering window is about 20 lines of code max.
Or is this about the pictures?
(edit - nvm, next time i read the whole thread before posting)

And what part of jcls post makes you believe you need to show the lite-c logo?
