Starter.fps

by Tasty Green Pees :-, · in Torque Game Engine · 03/31/2006 (2:56 pm) · 4 replies

I've tried to go back to work off the starter.fps folder. however when i rename the folder to something like "ftp mod" and correct load it from main.cs i do not get the mission file "stronghold" in the main menu.

I couldn't find where in the scripts this file was being called from aside from this line in client/init.cs

// Specify where the mission files are.
   $Server::MissionFileSpec = "*/missions/*.mis";

When you renamed the folder, did you change the name in the main main.cs? (the one with the exe)

$defaultGame = "starter.fps"; //This is the name of your working folder.
$displayHelp = false;

Also, every script that has a path to something has to changed accordingly.

I seem to have done all of that. which makes this puzzling... I must be missing something.

Redo the test :

-reload original starter.fps
-do a copy/paste of the starter.fps directory
-rename the 'copy directory'
-test again

This procedure works , the only issue that i have noted is : you lost texture on the terrain , you have to select the texture with terrain tool again ( F11 when the map is displayed)
