1.4 Demo crashes on mission load?

by Leo "kingDUCTtape" Altmann · in Torque Game Engine · 12/26/2005 (4:05 pm) · 5 replies

Hello,
I just downloaded the Torque 1.4 Mac SDK (from My Account, not CVS). Whenever I load it up and try to start a mission, it crashes right after mission lighting completes. This happens with any variant -- FPS, racing, and demo. I'm on OS 10.4.3 on an 800MHz G3 iBook. Any ideas?
Thanks!

Check the console log for errors. does torque properly detect an accelerated 3d card?

Might be the G3 part of it. PaulS could say for sure; I don't know that he's checking the forums religiously, this being right in the middle of the holidays. :)

I think you need at least a G4 to run it

Hmm... that's a problem...

Any chance if I compile it myself on a G3 it would make a G3-supported executable? The previous version of Torque ran just fine on a G3.

You should be able to remove the -faltivec flag from the compiler options in the target, and get a G3-ready executable. I say 'should' because sometimes, GCC defines __VEC__ even if -faltivec is not added to the command line opts ( not correct behavior, but I've seen it ).

Auto-detection code is ready, but isn't yet pushed to CVS. A coming point-release will publish it on the My Account section. If desperately needed, I can push it to CVS, and y'all can test it out & kick the tires.
