Re: How do you make a custom button?

[Amodeus]

Hey guys,

First off thanks for all the help you've been giving me. Secondly, how do you make custom buttons instead of using the ones that are default with turing. Basically, making an image re-route you elsewhere.

Another thing...

I don't want to flood your board, so I figured I'll ask here...is there a way to make backgrounds removed in images in Turing?


Thanks!

i dont think there is any way to make a "custom buttons" instead of using the ones that turing have, BUT you can always import a button which you want to use as an image.

and i dont get what you mean by "is there a way to make backgrounds removed in images in Turing? "
like you already have a background and you want to change it to another background?

Of course there's a way to make your own custom buttons.... just look through [Turing Submissions] for a couple of examples, including one of my own that I know is in there.

as for getting rid of a background picMerge will delete any white pixels thus making the white background of an image dissapear when u draw it onto the screen as for pictures without white backgrounds there are 2 ways

1. images with a monocolor background: look up Pic.SetTransparent

2. go to paint and manulaly turn pixels white... sorry

An important thing to consider which MOMOP didn't mention is that if you are trying to use a JPG image you are basically fucked.

Images compressed with the JPG algorithm produce artifacts. What looks white to you may actually have hundreds of pixels that are just a bit off white which is useless with picMerge.

what MAZER didnt mention is that usually only happens when u convert images to jpg using paint

Actually he's correct. Just because a pixel looks white in JPEG doesn't make it white.

It'll happen no matter what you use. JPEG is a lossy format. It isn't meant for things like games.

that is a customized button?
then yes, you could draw some box with mouse events i thought it would be more fancy.....

If all you want is a prettier GUI, check out this.

of course that's a custom button, anything that you create yourself is custom. It's suited to your needs. You could take my code, and re-work it to use images instead (of course, if I felt up to it, so could I... ) Not everything is going to be handed to you on a silver platter.

Note: momop, you don't need to say Mazer's name as MAZER every time you type it out. It's quite annoying in fact...

well i always saw JERKFACE and it played a trick on my eye and i thought it actually was MAZER
