Replacing the GUI controller

[Hsoolien]

I made my own GUI interface, and while it works perfectly under normal circumstances (making a game info load it)
if I try to replace the normal UT GUIController with it, the game crashes
This is the error log:

Now my GUI subclasses interaction instead of BaseGUIController, cause I don't want all the default UT2004 GUI stuff, mine works and it's efficient (about one fps loss for every 10 windows/menus/icons on screen), do I need to subclass it off of BAseGUIController, is there someo other way??

You need to subclass BaseGUIController

[Hsoolien]

Drat


I was hoping I would not have to since it does a whole whack of things I would rather it did not...

[elmuerte]

Here's a general rule, if you replace actor X that subclasses from a native actor Y you often must subclass at least from Y.

[Hsoolien]

I understand that for the most part, I was just hoping that perhaps it would accept a little less then the GUIBase class... (there are other instances where higher on the tree can be used)

[Xyx]

If you override and disable all that stuff that you don't want BaseGUIController to do, you might end up with a class that has the best of both worlds.

[Hsoolien]

Most of what the BAseGUIController does is native.
