i get wut u are saying but it would be 2 much to have all those buttons and then make them alpha 45% alot of work but ima give it a try to see how it looks

Loaded_Gun_Complex, right now is just a mod of a mod we a working on so i dont even know when, but u can do it by just downloading the Marketplace Mod and editing it.

yeah, that's what i did with my custom icons, but you used the wide icons.  loook great.  i'm glad you guys like the code, but it was all your ideas.

but thekidd is right.  it'd be nice if something could look that good, but without having to make two buttons for each item.  is that possible?

You can make an image or text  transparent by adding the line
<colordiffuse>55xxxxxx</colordiffuse>

The 55 being half opacity I believe and the xxxxxx is color just like the lines of code you use in a cof file for the text. So not only could you change the transparency of it but you could add a tint to it as well.

[roormonger]

If you want to use two different controls for each button, one for focused and one for non-focused you could make the focused texture   <texture>buttonfocus.png</texture>

It is a transparent highlight image that is used for alot of buttons in MC360. All you would have to do to make it work is not add any conditional visibility to the nonfocused one and just add it to the focus so it wuld just overlay it and give it the appearence that it is one highlighted image.

I will work on it a little and see what I can't come up with. I am saying all this off the top of my head so don't chop my head off if I am wrong.

          </button>
        </buttons>
      </control>

All I did was change the guide-listcontrol-focus.png to button-focus.png and now it will overlay any <texturenofocus> you may set for a button. Pretty simple right. Oh and I moved the buttons to the right 10 pixels.

[roormonger]

So like I said if you wanted an alpha image why not just have 1 control for each state and just use color diffuse. That way you could still use one image.

I can't believe you don't like the highlight, It so matches the way every other button in MC360 highlights.

[THEKIDD]

can i get that texture u used to make the highlight

[roormonger]

It's built in MC360. I would not have posted that and left everyone hanging.

[THEKIDD]

ok but wutz the path to the texture then .

QUOTE(this is for the button menu control)

<texturefocus>button-focus.png</texturefocus>

and you just add your texturenofocus to each button as normal.


And why not just use the wide icons, they are pretty much perfect for the job.
