Newb Tutorial Question

by NaTaS · in Torque Game Engine · 09/19/2006 (11:21 pm) · 2 replies

Ok I have been trying to run the tutorial that uses tutorial.base in the example dir and I have got it going fine up till the part where I modify if the GUI.

Basically this is what is happening.

I add the button with the command added to it of loadMyMission();
then I save the GUI and exit.
When I start the demo back up and click on the button I just get WAITING FOR SERVER...

I checked in the console to see if there were any errors and the only ones that show up are the following

Could not locate texture: GameOne/client/ui/buttons/exit_d
Could not locate texture: GameOne/client/ui/buttons/exit_i
Could not locate texture: GameOne/client/ui/buttons/forum_d
Could not locate texture: GameOne/client/ui/buttons/forum_i
Could not locate texture: GameOne/client/ui/buttons/options_d
Could not locate texture: GameOne/client/ui/buttons/options_i

but on the top of the console it stats "No Script compilaiton errors occured"

Any help that you guys might have would be great.

Thanks ahead of time

    Use a debugger, such as Torsion, and set a breakpoint inside your loadMyMission() function.

    Chances are, the loadMyMission() function doesn't actually properly create, start and connect to the local server.

    Well after a little looking around in the main.cs file in the GameOne folder I found that the loadMyMission function has a hard coded request for createserver which looks as follows:

    createServer("SinglePlayer", expandFilename("./data/missions/gameonemission.mis");

    But in the tutorial it never said to rename your .mis file. So hence it was causing the program to stall out..
    And so when I renamed the .mis file to gameonemission.mis it worked fine. And when I modded the .cs file to call the flat.mis file it also worked fine.

    I guess when in doubt just look at the code.. :)

    thanks for the help though J \"hplus\" W
