Demo record and playback

by Howard Dortch · in Torque Game Engine · 10/29/2005 (7:28 am) · 8 replies

Is the demo record/playback broke?
I added a button on main menu to playback a recording and it just locks up. The dialog for the playback stays on the display the playgui does not show and the main menu screen is still up. I can hear the demo running but it's just locked up.
Any help, hints, tricks?
And yes I did a search for this and nothing of value was found.

What version of Torque ?
In 1.3SDK it works like a charm.

I'm not one of the devs, but recording and playback works great for me. I'm using 1.4RC2 code with only minor modifications. This definitely sounds strange though.

Good luck.

Well does anyone have a suggestion on how to debug it?

Open your debugger and find out why it's not rendering?

When you say you can hear it, do you mean you hear an audio loop, or that you can actually hear game triggered events?

Why isn't the render happening?

You have to have information before you can reach a solution. :)

I can hear the entire game running in the background but the dialog is froze on the screen and the main menu is still up. I have tried to pop the dialog etc but the video is locked up, mouse froze etc. I'm sure there is a trick to get it to work and I would like to say it's just me but Ron has the same issues. Perhapps some code on the "Proper" way to do this might help.
