How to add a extra button for the ingame GUI in Eclipse Final Frontier

[GalacticGlum]

Hello all!

I have been wondering how I add a extra button for the ingame GUI in Eclipse Final Frontier I want to add a friends button 

where that second blank button is (under the guild button).


Thanks in advance!

Bump.. Still looking for help

You add it in visual basic 6, client side you create an image and have the button load the image via vb6, I'm sure there will be more server and client coding involved for friend system.

Hey @[member="Link"]

There is a buddy system in Eclipse Final Frontier I need to know how to add the button to the gui that opens the buddy window. In frmMain there is no button layout of the guild, party, or any button so I am confused as how to add a button under the guild button that is able to open up the buddy window instead of pressing "b" on your keyboard.

All you have to do is open the frmMain (I think that's the name) and create a button from the side bar thing. Double click the button and have it open the buddy system. If you search for where the "b" opens the system then you can copy that code, double click the button, and paste the code there.

Hope this helps :)

But no other button in EFF does that. No button is in the frmMain

I can send you source

[GalacticGlum]

I will try it though

[Mohenjo Daro]

Oh, I forgot that EFF doesn't have an actual GUI, well, I guess you can make one. All you have to do is shrink the screen 32 pixels, change the map y to 1 less, and make a GUI there, then you can add the buttons you want under the screen

I'm confused! Are you able to do it for me or walk me through. I know that's a lot to ask.

[Mohenjo Daro]

Sorry, I'm trying to do another walk through on something I don't know, but I'll try. Ok, so search for [vb]ScreenHeight = 600[/vb] and replace the 600 with 576\. (This makes the map look smaller)

Next, find [vb]MAX_MAPY = (frmMain.Height / 523.33) '18[/vb] and replace the 523.33 with 554.12 (This makes the map smaller with walking)

Then you have a 32 pixel (1 tile) area to put buttons on the screen. Basically, run it in VB6 until you get the button in the area you want. To add a button, just do what I said a couple posts ago, and to add a picture so they look nice, click the button, go to properties, and scroll down to picture, then add the one you want, I hope this helps :)

[GalacticGlum]

That makes everything smaller though. It messes up everything try it yourself I believe to add a extra button you have to code it. If its possible please post a tutorial or can you please do it for me or add in the code in my source. 

Thank you in advance

[Mohenjo Daro]

I'm figuring this out as I go, and does it make everything smaller?

[GalacticGlum]

Yes it does. Do you want my source to test it out?

[Mohenjo Daro]

No, I'm testing it in my own

[GalacticGlum]

Okay… Just tell me if you fix it while you test it could you also test a button. To see if adding a button will work. By the way I appreciate all this thank you very much @[member="Baron Mohenjo Daro"]

[Mohenjo Daro]

Yeah, I think you should send me the source

[GalacticGlum]

Okay I'll pm it. Edit* sent it! @[member="Baron Mohenjo Daro"]

[GalacticGlum]

Solved!

Thanks to @[member="Baron"] Mohenjo Daro

Go to the first post and mark the thread as solved.

For anyone wanting to add a button, you only have to change the max buttons in constants, copy a button in general then change the coordinates, change something in the draw I think, and make the input in the mouseup/down so that clicking the button actually works (I think you put it before the reset button line, or I'm remembering the line wrong). And that should be about it I think, hopefully this helps whoever needs some guidance.

How do I mark it as solved?
