[Tutorial] Making a Gui

How do i reopen a file i was working on then closed?

A GUI? You have to save it as guiname.gui in the gui menu. I same them in add-ons. Then you can re open the I think.

There are several reasons why you might not be able to view the GUI in the list:
1: You do not have it packaged with a server/client.cs a description, and the GUI file, you need to have the server/client.cs exec the GUI file, Ill put this in the guide.

2: You have a server.cs file that does not execute the GUI until you load it up in game, load up a mission with it enabled, then open the GUI editor

3: Your server/client.cs or GUI file syntaxes and the engine cannot load up the GUI.

Those are probable reasons.

In your server/client.cs file you must have:

Code: [Select]

exec("./guiname.GUI");
That will make the engine execute the GUI file.

I cannot find mine to enable under the add-ons menu before you start up a server.Fixed, how do I make it so when I hit the button, it closes the window?

Hit what button? Like the escape button on your keyboard? Or the button on your GUI? If it's the second one, you need to make the command canvas.popdialog(yourguiname);

It is second, I made that like it said in tutorial but when I hit the button the message pops up.
