[Help] Option.xml

[o0slowpaul0o]

I don't know how clear I can explain this, so I'll do my best..

In Option.xml I'm trying to create a new page. I'm unsure if the content relys on Gunz.exe.

This is what i have done so far..

This is the frame set to set up the new Option page:

    <FRAME item="TestOptionGroup" parent="OptionGroup">
        <FRAMELOOK>NullFrameLook</FRAMELOOK>
        <BOUNDS>
            <X>140</X>
            <Y>70</Y>
            <W>350</W>
            <H>300</H>
        </BOUNDS>
        <VISIBLE>FALSE</VISIBLE>
        <RESIZABLE>false</RESIZABLE>
        <FOCUSABLE>false</FOCUSABLE>
        <MOVABLE>false</MOVABLE>
    </FRAME>
    
    <FRAME item="TestOptionGroup1" parent="TestOptionGroup">
        <FRAMELOOK>NullFrameLook</FRAMELOOK>
        <BOUNDS>
            <X>0</X>
            <Y>40</Y>
            <W>350</W>
            <H>400</H>
        </BOUNDS>
        <VISIBLE>TRUE</VISIBLE>
        <RESIZABLE>false</RESIZABLE>
        <FOCUSABLE>false</FOCUSABLE>
        <MOVABLE>false</MOVABLE>
    </FRAME>

This is the code that generates the button up top in the new Option page:

    <BUTTON item="TestTabBtn1" parent="AccountOptionGroup">
        <BOUNDS>
            <X>0</X>
            <Y>0</Y>
            <W>65</W>
            <H>30</H>
        </BOUNDS>
        <TEXT>Text Here</TEXT>
    </BUTTON>

This code applies tells the button in the Option page to load the new page inside that Option:

<TABCONTROL item="TestTabControl">
        <TAB button = "TestTabBtn1" widget = "TestOptionGroup1"/>
        <TABCONTROLLOOK>NullTabLook</TABCONTROLLOOK>
    </TABCONTROL>

This last part would show the new Option button on the left, most likely under Misc.

<BMBUTTON item = "ShowTestOptionGroup" parent = "OptionGroup">
        <BOUNDS>
            <X>19</X>
            <Y>332</Y>
            <W>70</W>
            <H>70</H>
        </BOUNDS>
        <TEXT></TEXT>
        <STRETCH/>
        <BITMAP type="up">test_blue.tga</BITMAP>
        <BITMAP type="over">test_blue.tga</BITMAP>
        <BITMAP type="down">test_green.tga</BITMAP>
        <PUSHBUTTON/>
    </BMBUTTON>

    <TABCONTROL item="OptionTabControl">
        <TAB button = "ShowVideoOptionGroup" widget = "VideoOptionGroup"/>
        <TAB button = "ShowAudioOptionGroup" widget = "AudioOptionGroup"/>
<!--        <TAB button = "ShowMouseOptionGroup" widget = "MouseOptionGroup"/>    -->
        <TAB button = "ShowKeyboardOptionGroup" widget = "KeyboardOptionGroup"/>
        <TAB button = "ShowEtcOptionGroup" widget = "EtcOptionGroup"/>
        <TAB button = "ShowMacroOptionGroup" widget = "MacroOptionGroup"/>
        <TAB button = "ShowTestOptionGroup" widget = "TestOptionGroup"/>
        <TABCONTROLLOOK>NullTabLook</TABCONTROLLOOK>
    </TABCONTROL>

Now my main problem is, that the new Option group opens up in the Misc button and the new button doesn't show..

The button will work perfectly, but the .xml files only take in the executable set tags. Like <bounds>, <bitmap>, <frame>, etc..
But you can't add a clan rankings page without setting up a set of new converters in the executable.

Why Would Clan Ranking Be In Options anyway.

hey! God i love people who look through XML's, ive figured out soooo much just from that. Your doing well, but now you need to find the parent xml to that line of code, then find the parent to that and so on, so you can figure out how to make the button properly. then afterwhich youll need to figure out if GunZ would accept different types of coding to be shown in-game. If it cant youll have to do some XML stuff but youll need to literally code an auto-updating page into it.

Have fun xP

You'll still need to add something in the exe
