selecting default scene

by rennie moffat · in iTorque 2D · 06/16/2010 (6:40 pm) · 6 replies

Hi,
In TGB I was able to choose which scene is loaded after the splash by using the following in the main.cs

function initializeProject()
$defaultScene = "game/data/levels/loadingScreen.t2d";

However I can not see where this should go in iTGB main.cs



Currently, in a new project, when I run my game it goes to an all black screen. How and where do I determine my $defaultScene?

    Rennie, take a look at this thread where I posted my splash startup code - you will see where that variable gets set:

    ok, it's just that the initialise project is much different in this case (as far as I can tell.

    it does not appear as...

    function initialise project()
{
}


////but as....

_initializeProject();

// Startup the project
initializeProject();

    I am unsure as to how to plug in the info.

    Take a look at:

    That code is what you need.

    ok, will give it a shot. Forgive me I am just uneasy about changing anything that comes native. But I will trust you. Thanks.


    Also tho I had replaced it earlier, simply replacing the whole main.cs from tgb to the itgb. But perhaps just treat...

    initializeProject();

    as
    function initializePorject()
{
}

    see that is where I am iffy. I am doing so many things in prep right now, so I have not gotten to this yet, but your help is appreciated.

    Thanks.

    Also,
    in the main.cs this line exists. With out touching anything it takes you to emptyLevel.cs

    My question is, how do I make this line of code take me to level38AlphaBeta.cs

    :??




    startGame( expandFilename($Project::Game::DefaultScene) );

    just a side note, since this loaded "emptyLevel.t2d" I changed my desired level (to load first) to emptyLevel.t2d thinking that would load my first level and then I could follow along in my previously made game structure. However all i get now is a black screen.
