I was hoping to make two of my hotbuttons be able to stack on-top of each other and make them look like one set.

now my problem i am having is that all 4 hotbuttons use the same ui2danimations. is there a way i might be able to get each set of hotbuttons to use a different set of animations? i have edited the windowspieces files and saved them as a new image, to reflect the new numbers i want. will keep working on it but would appreciate any help if this is even worth trying.

thanks in advance.

Since you mentioned the UI2D files I'm assuming you know about the default templates. Just add this to your hotbutton.xml file:

<TextureInfo item="My_New_Graphics.tga">
<Size>
<CX>256</CX>
<CY>128</CY>
</Size>
</TextureInfo>

<Ui2DAnimation item="My_New_Graphics_Hotbutton_Disabled">
<Frames>
<Texture>My_New_Graphics.tga</Texture>
<Location>
<X>2</X>
<Y>2</Y>
</Location>
<Size>
<CX>40</CX>
<CY>36</CY>
</Size>
</Frames>
</Ui2DAnimation>

<Ui2DAnimation item="My_New_Graphics_Hotbutton_Flyby">
<Frames>
<Texture>My_New_Graphics.tga</Texture>
<Location>
<X>2</X>
<Y>2</Y>
</Location>
<Size>
<CX>40</CX>
<CY>36</CY>
</Size>
</Frames>
</Ui2DAnimation>

<Ui2DAnimation item="My_New_Graphics_Hotbutton_Normal">
<Frames>
<Texture>My_New_Graphics.tga</Texture>
<Location>
<X>42</X>
<Y>2</Y>
</Location>
<Size>
<CX>40</CX>
<CY>36</CY>
</Size>
</Frames>
</Ui2DAnimation>

<Ui2DAnimation item="My_New_Graphics_Hotbutton_Pressed">
<Frames>
<Texture>My_New_Graphics.tga</Texture>
<Location>
<X>82</X>
<Y>2</Y>
</Location>
<Size>
<CX>40</CX>
<CY>36</CY>
</Size>
</Frames>
</Ui2DAnimation>

<Ui2DAnimation item="My_New_Graphics_Hotbutton_Pressed_Flyby">
<Frames>
<Texture>My_New_Graphics.tga</Texture>
<Location>
<X>82</X>
<Y>2</Y>
</Location>
<Size>
<CX>40</CX>
<CY>36</CY>
</Size>
</Frames>
</Ui2DAnimation>


<Button item="My_New_Hotbutton">
<ScreenID>My_New_Hotbutton</ScreenID>
<Location>
<X>120</X>
<Y>0</Y>
</Location>
<Size>
<CX>40</CX>
<CY>36</CY>
</Size>
<DecalSize>
<CX>40</CX>
<CY>36</CY>
</DecalSize>
<Font>1</Font>
<TextColor>
<R>255</R>
<G>255</G>
<B>255</B>
</TextColor>
<ButtonDrawTemplate>
<Disabled>My_New_Graphics_Hotbutton_Disabled</Disabled>
<Flyby>My_New_Graphics_Hotbutton_Flyby</Flyby>
<Normal>My_New_Graphics_Hotbutton_Normal</Normal>
<Pressed>My_New_Graphics_Hotbutton_Pressed</Pressed>
<PressedFlyby>My_New_Graphics_Hotbutton_Pressed_Flyby</PressedFlyby>
</ButtonDrawTemplate>
</Button>

Just change the red text to correspond with the new .tga filename and size, the new button template, and the x, y coordinates of the button images. Any other code in the button template is extraneous junk or default values which doesn't need to be declared.

Note: Apparently this post editor doesn't like tab formatting. Hope it makes sense.
