I'm finally sitting down to figure out BT. So I made the monterey harbor app like in the video. Simple. I got that. So I just wanted to make some buttons show up on a screen. Tried a blank screen. Got nothing. Am I supposed to create my own png files for all buttons or can I pick from a library of buttons? I tried working with a simple buttons page. Got nothing there either. So, I thought its user error and trashed the new pages I made and went back to the ones from the monterey harbor app. They were clearly deleted from my control panel, but refreshing in the simulator didn't change anything. So, I thought something got clogged up, and re-downloaded my app and opened xcode and put in the plug in folder. This isnt rocket science, but I am missing how to make good stuff happen. Is there an issue with osX 10.8.5? (running a fully loaded iMac). Scott Title Comments Hey all. I'm finally sitting down to figure out BT. So I made the monterey harbor app like in the video. Simple.

You will need to specify which graphics in the plugin control panel, BUT even if you upload the media, it isn't included in the package; you'll still need to add those manually. Hmmm... I just noticed I'm on 10.8.4, so I can't say if there is a problem with dot 5; but I don't have any issues. Cheers! -- Smug Comments Typically you will supply your own graphics.

Smug's right, you have to supply your own images and they must be manually copied into Xcode. You'll notice in your source code download a folder called BT_Images. That's to keep all your images nice and organized. It will be empty when you download the source code, so just copy all your images into that folder and then drag the folder into Xcode. If you still don't see the button images, double check that you entered the name of each image on your control panel exactly, including capitalization. Comments Osx isn't the issue.

Once that works for you you could import some images (add file) into Xcode and replace your background color to background images. Good luck, enjoy your Buzztouch Adventure.

I've even restarted the simulator, and those deprecated pages still show.
