Game recordings and the lighting pack

#1 Hi Tim,

Were the recordings made in TGE or the Lighting Pack? If the Lighting Pack, which version?

#2 The recordings were made in the lighting pack I used the ready to compile version im not too sure of the version but i downloaded it about four months ago.

I just tested the stock version (1.3) just to see if it worked without the lighting pack and it did.

There was a one line piece of code you needed add to the stock version and there is a rescource on doing this.

The stock recoding was done in the stock version and the lighting pack recording was done in the lighting pack version.

Thanks for the speedy reply!!
Let me know if I havent been clear enough.

#3 Hi Tim,

I just built version 1.3 of the Lighting Pack and the demo recording works great what problems are you running into?

#4 Hey John,

If i try to load it in the main menu screen it comes up with an error sayin 'Error trying to load recoring 'recording name'.
If i try to load it while in the game It plays the sound from the recording only then when it finishes the game crashes.

Thanks,
Tim

#5 Hi Tim,

I just tested both the Lighting Pack Windows demo and a freshly built 1.3 again, and both work great. Did you make any modifications to the code in the Lighting Pack release? If not what platform and compiler are you using? I'm using VC6 and VC7 on Windows (at least for the demo test).

Version 1.3 of the Lighting Pack was the first ready to compile version, so it seems you're running 1.3 too.

Oh, and also try the Lighting Pack demo to see what happens.

#6 Hi John,

Ok i fixed the problem and everyhing works perfectly now. I must apologize, it had nothing to do with the lighting pack. I got that idea from something i read on the forums but i think that relates to an older version of Torque.

The problem was (in short, won't bore you with all the details) that i had made an audio profile a long time ago with reference to a *.wav file which i was planning on using in a level. Anyhow, i changed my mind and used a different wave file instead but neglected to remove the old reference from my audio profiles script.
So when i went to play a recording it was looking for a wave file that didn't exist and therefore coming up with 'Error trying to load recording 'recording name'.

Well thanks all the same for your time though, it's always nice to receive exceptional customer service from a product one has purchased. Once again sorry to have wasted your time.

#7 Hi Tim,

That's ok, these things happen. :)

I'm glad everything is working now.
