Full-screen mode

by Josh Dammeier · in Torque Game Engine · 08/13/2001 (11:33 pm) · 6 replies

When trying to switch to full-screen mode while running a mission, I get this error, followed by a crash:

Error Resurrecting the Texture Cache

Does this happen to anyone else or is it just me? It works fine for me when I am in the beginning menus.

BTW.... for anyone who doesn't know, alt-enter toggles full-screen mode.

Its a bug..I pointed it out to Rick I think...so at least they know about it.

It happens both when switching to and switching from fullscreen mode.

There was a note about resolution switching not working in the scripts... I of course ignored the silly warning and tried anyway ;)

Switching to full screen does this only I think...when i use the -fullscreen argument I get no issues...seems only to be if you try CHANGING the resolutions.

Yes and this only happens when playing in-game :-).

I just fixed this bug. The texture cache was having problems finding files. The bug was caused because Rick and I made some changes to the texture loading and apparently we didn't notice the second "copy" of that loading code. I hate duplicated code. Anyway, the fix is in the CVS and will be in the next release.

hehe - I just did it too - using a workaround: I made sure the texture bitmaps were in the same folder as the interior items that used them. problem went away ...
