I asked it in the answer to the mail you wrote me: What are you trying and what did not work for you?
I tested it and it works for me.

I would like to add more things in the Script Generator Section. The problem is, I have not much time at the moment. Many many working, expanding my little IT Company.
And I saw that Lee is planning something that works the same way, when I read it right. So I'm not sure to add something in the ScriptGenerator Section.

I think I will have more time in December.

We have contact sometimes. He helped me when I don't get clear what GameGuru changes mean for StyleGuru.
Much needed when all changed to lua *g*.

I have tried using Style Guru. It looks great but it keeps saying it cannot find the directory path for saving backups, etc.

Did you point it to your GG Directory in first step? Mine is D:\SteamLibrary\SteamApps\common\Game Guru for Example.

Edit: Ah, read your edit to late ^^.

Could someone please give me some instruction. I'm trying to use Style Guru to have GG use my custom title screen, loading screen, etc.

I just can't seem to work it out.

Many thanks.

Try this ....

Load up styleguru
Load your image 1920x1080 for example
The panel will change to your image left and " Kind of image" selection on the right
Select the top one "Titlescreen"
Click "Generate"

It will ask you to point to your steam titlebank folder ( DONT DO THIS TILL YOU GET THE HANG OF IT )
point to your "C" drive instead and click "New Folder" ... then click OK
That's it .....Go to your new folder and it will have generated your pic in all the different sized folders ...

Then repeat the process ...
load another image ..Select "Loading screen" Click "Generate" ... again browse to the same folder .... and click Ok
Take a look in the folder ...This will have added your loading screen to all the different sized folders

Then on to the next one ..... you should now see how it works ....
All you really have to do then is go to the titlebank \ Default and copy your folders over the ones already there

You can do the menus as well but this should give you the idea on what happens ...

Nice discription, syncromesh
I have a little addings: StyleGuru asks the titlebank folder to create the "new style" folder there (if not exist).
You don't have to overwrite the default frolder. Just let Styleguru create the ne folder, generate all images your style need, click the button that will force StyleGuru to copy the assets and change style lua files to the right directory.

After this, edit the style.txt (in Game Guru\Files\terrainbank\). The file only contents the name of stylefolder GG should use.


For the huds... it's just an exchange. So... look at the normal files, wich formal (mostly png) and dimensions they have and just klick on the part you want to change in StyleGuru. Then choose your file.
Finally click "Save all" and it should work. With StyleGuru you are not be able to create a completely new hud. Just to change the existing hud icons in new ones.

Thanks Sanguis ....
To be honest I didn't think of that ...... I thought he was just struggling on how the screens worked so I figured stay away from GG folders until you can comfortably see exactly what happens

Me too... that's why I don't want to overwrite the default folder.
In StyleGuru is an input box over the area for the image. There you define the name of the stylefolder StyleGuru creates. Default is just "StyleGuru" but can be changed to everything else.

I would write a little manual if my english would be better. But our last posts does describe everything. Hope that helps Julian.

There seems to be a problem with StyleGuru using png picture format and GG giving jpg priority. I get runtime error 501.

There are some png fils, that don't work, yes. I don't know why. The problem is not every png file. I think it is something with transparent settings, wich StyleGuru can't grab the right way.
Anyway... with jpg I had no problems to create the files for GameGuru in png. Means, give StyleGuru a jpg and he will convert it.

When I have more time, I code this strict in StyleGuru.

I have had issues in the past with this as well. Been ages since I tried it. I was going to put up a demo of a project, but StyleGuru always crashed with it, so I gave up in the end. That was probably a year and a half ago or so though, things may be better now. I think it was script related, not copying them over. As I wanted to use it to encrypt everything, at that point it was of no use, as manually copying them defeated the purpose of using StyleGuru in the first place. Any scripts that call other scripts in GG that weren't placed directly in the editor never copied over (I think, been awhile as said).

Yes, 1,5 years ago, StyleGuru don't copy any scripts in a new style folder. This is because there don's were some (in default style folder). This changed when Lee made all screens using lua. But till then, StyleGuru was copying the scripts in default style folder.
If you encrypt the images and try to use styleguru then, of course it will crash. StyleGuru doesn't encrypt .

The main point of use was to make the folder structure of a stylefolder and copy all needed screen images there, in all needed resolutions. That's working all the time. It don't were supposed to be related to any scripts (till Lee changed it).
Everything else StyleGuru could do, is just an extra .

Has anyone been able to make a script so you can get style guru to make a menu screen so a game player can change the game skill level to either easy, medium, or difficult?

Maybe the script could make the medical supplies box give the standard 50 health points for easy, less for medium, and even less for difficult.

I think it could be possible with a script. But it would be very complicated. With StyleGuru you can change the existing(!) menu graphics (Background, Buttongraphics, Cursor) but StylrGuru can not do any scripting for the menu at this time.

I don't think you can do it from the actual menus as what you put in them wouldn't effect the settings you need to change on the level itself, but you can use the menu I wrote (with lots of help from dvader) below in your level.

See my next post for the script.

Thanks Belidos... I'll give it a try.

Update:

I tried it and I got an error message that has me a little confused. See the picture below.

I might need to look over the numbers in the script for a while to contemplate what it might be.

Try the file attached (they're copies of my originals, in the folder structure i use, including the images), just open up the zip and drag the scriptbank folder into your gameguru\files folder, it will put everything where it needs to go.

Then in the editor, place a barrel, make it static = no, and always active = yes, and add difficulty_menu.lua (you will find it in scriptbank\dmenu)

You can see it working on the beginning of my video below:

Thanks Belidos, I did exactly what you said and it works perfectly.

I'm not sure what went wrong with my other attempt. All I know is it works now.

I might experiment with the numbers and png pics for a cursor and background in the future.

I have a picture below to show what came up with my game.

No problem, it was probably the edits I made to remove my personal folder structure, I probably put a space or something where it wasn't meant to be lol
