How would I have game studio create an "open file" box at run time so users could select an image off the hard drive as a background?

Include http://www.conitec.net/beta/strio_c.htm and use file_dialog(char* title,char* filter)

no science involved

file_dialog is good if you want a popUp Window (like Windows "open file")

For an ingame option use:

Create a folder at runtime (or create one by hand with rightclick-> new in the project folder):
Code:
CreateDirectory(_chr(str_cat(work_dir,"My Box Folder")),NULL);


and use
txt_for_dir
to get a list of all files (with specific extention) of the folder.

Now just create clickable buttons with PANEL´s button function and digits, and you´re done ^^

Sweet. I had a problem loading project files but there was a solution to that in the manual laugh

SetCurrentDirectory(_chr(work_dir));

Now ive got another pickle... Is it possible to set a fixed image as the sky? As of right now it just keeps coming up as a flat wall in the scene.

I managed to get it sort of working, problem is the image appears in front of everything...

Code:
ENTITY* skycubepic =
{
	
  x = 2000;
  y = 0;
  z = 0;
  type = "cosmo_f02+6.bmp"; // SET BY USER
  flags2 = SKY | SHOW | SCENE; 
}

Solved! Problem was my sky color wasn't transparent... I had a feeling setting a negative layer number would be it but it kept disapearing... Because of sky color.

Code:
ENTITY* skycubepic =
{
  layer = -1;	
  x = 100;
  y = 0;
  z = 0;
  type = "cosmo_f02+6.bmp"; // SET BY USER
  flags2 = SKY | SHOW ;


Code:
function main()
{
   ...
   vec_set(sky_color.blue,vector(0,0,0));
   ...
}
