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

OR

if you mean that a com user sends his finished project to a pro user and the pro user compiles for him a new window? For this you ahve to ask JCL as I don't know about the rights in this way, but I think that it is at least not willingly seen because it is a extra for pro users laugh But that is just my opinion


I ment, when a Pro user compiles a starter (creating the .wdf file using export), but a Comm user uses this as startup file (by adding the .wdf in the main script's folder), is that legal?


Yes, if you show the copyright text. Pro users don't have to show the copyright text and nobody will know that is made with 3dgs. In the other hand as comm users have to show the copyright notice, all people will know that is made with 3dgs

I am little bit confused.
Please tell me, if i create a startup/splash window over the original one, what should i put onto that?
The A7 logo? The lite-c logo? The web address of Conitec?

I have found these two interesting things:
Publish
Starter window
