Torque Pipeline Crashes on Me! Help

#1 Matt

Is there a space in the texture name?

I have just checked and CShop will happily use textures with spaces in the name but the exporter doesnt like them (it will crash on dif export with the error you give there.)

#2 Matt

Are you using the dif in TGE or TSE (Torque Game Engine or Torque Shader Engine)?

If it is in TGE then dont tick TSE compatible.

#3 @David - Oh that's an interesting bug... i need to check on spaces in texture names. I hope it's just my bug and not an issue present in the DIF format.

#4 @Tom - Its not something I have come across before as I always use underscores in filenames - force of habit I suppose.

If it is a DIF limitation you could always force replace any spaces with underscores in the smart texture copy code and make a note of it in the exporter FAQ.

#5 FYI. Matt Fairfax dropped me a note that Torque does not support spaces in file names at all. So i will do as David suggests and automaticly convert spaces to underscores and also dump a warning out to the user.

This will be in Pipeline 1.1 beta 2 which i'll have out very soon now that i cleared a few other tasks off my plate.

#6 Thanks for the clarification Matt. I mispoke. It is just textures in DIFs which do not support spaces.

#7 fixed
