Yet Another Painfully Stupid Question

by Nick Merrill · in Torque Game Engine · 04/02/2004 (5:05 pm) · 8 replies

Well I compiled the realm wars source off the CVS (just cvs/realmwars) with nothing added to it but the mySQL source. I followed the directions to the mySQL source and it compiled just fine. In the example dir, the RealmWars_DEBUG.exe is there just as it should be. BUT, when I run it, all that shows up in the window is a graphical jumble. I didn't touch anything except what I needed to to add mySQL. I tried it again as-is, without adding anything, and the same thing happens. Any ideas? Thanks in advance, and sorry for wasiting your time :D

Ok, one more possible question to tack on to this: How can I get the source of the last stable version of RW? Is it out of date?

I would try to get a stable build of TGE and try it on that first. If it does the same, I'd make sure your pc wasn't doing something odd, like bad drivers or whatnot. HTH.

Yep, TGE works perfectly. All the tutorials and demo mods work just as they should.

Are you sure that you included all the files for mySQL in the project settings (VC)? Sometimes the linker works and all that but the final binary seems to get a bit screwed.

Also, what do you mean with "RW source" and "mySQL source"? As far as I know, RW does not have it's own source and what you do to get mySQL working is adding libraries, not source.

Don't quote me on that though, but something could be wrong there.

Well, even when I get the RW source WITHOUT the mySQL libraries it doesn't work. (And yes, the mySQL recource is just libraries, a header file, and two .cc's).

When I get the RW soruce, I get it from the cvs by just downloading "realmwars" from cvs/realmwars. Is there a special branch or tag I should be getting?

Sorry to bump, but I really need an answer to this.

Hmm. I cannot for the life of me understand what the problem is.

Might be something from with the CVS build?
Did you try it unmodified?

What does the console log say?

Ok, I fixed it by getting the Febuary build instead of the latest one. For the record, it did the same thing unmodified, so that may be a bug with the head version.
