Waiting for Server

by Patrick Mattarelli · in Torque Game Engine · 05/07/2006 (2:46 am) · 4 replies

Hi,

I'm new to TGE and I'm working with the Getting Started PDF. Everything's working fine until I restart torqueDemo.exe. The only thing which is still working is the GUI Editor. Opening the mission results in the message "Waiting for Server".

Do you have any suggestion how ...

1) I can avoid this error and ...

2) how I can recover my already built missions?

Thanks for any help!

I am getting this same Error.
I am also following the Getting Started PDF.
Did you ever find a solution to the problem.
I have a feeling, that there is some code that must be altered to point to a file in the new folder hierarchy that was copied over.

...BTW... When I open the console editor and enter trace(1) and hit the new "start" button we created in the tutorial, the program crashes.

In the getting started-pdf they write: "[...] make a new copy of tutorial.base [...] in the example folder. Rename it to 'GameOne' [...]"

Maybe this description is a little unlucky.

Try to make a copy of the directory tutorial.base and rename the original directory instead of the copy to 'GameOne'.

Good luck!

Look in the main.cs (the one with the exe) and see what file it's pointing to.
This is what you are looking for:
$defaultGame = "starter.racing"; //This is the folder where your game files are
If you are changing the name of the folder to "gameOne", then that line should read: $defaultGame = "gameOne";
