Beta 3 - TGBX not working?
by Stefan Beffy Moises · in Torque X 3D · 12/03/2006 (2:03 am) · 33 replies
When I start the TGBX.exe, it just hangs there in the process list and I can't even kill it... I have to reboot to get rid of it again. The log doesn't say anything either... is there some trick to get it working? Do I have to copy some TankBuster files in there or something?
Going to reboot now since the hanging process starts the fan on my Geforce after a couple of minutes... :P

The TGB implementation of this method opens checks for IPX support and opens socket. Something must be different with the implementation in TGBX. Also, you may need to check your Anti-Virus, Spyware, Firewall, etc. settings to see if your protection services are blocking TGBX. In any case, glad it's working for you and it looks like the end of the road for me.

Hey Stefan, just for S&G's can you comment setNetPort back in to make sure that's really the problem. Sorry that this might cause you to reboot. :(

Does the editor need this at all btw.?
Anyways, thanks for all your help, John! :)

Yeah, guess we have to wait for the TGBX source to fix this ;) or somebody in the GG team has an idea :)Does the editor need this at all btw.?
Anyways, thanks for all your help, John! :)

"Binding server port to default IP" and now it hangs again...
Ah well, time for a reboot! :P

Ok, another reboot... to make 100% sure, I've disabled my virus scanner and firewall, but it still hangs on setNetPort(0);

Ok, thanks for checking. Adam knows about this now and will hopefully figure it out.

If you could download this debug version of TGBX and run it, maybe it will assert or spit out some more useful debug info. If it does crash and you get the windows "Send Error Report" dialog, click on view the error report contents, then the error report technical information. The top section of the dialog box (Exception Information) will have some useful stuff. If you could post that info here, that would be fantastic.
TGBX Debug
Since it's just hanging as opposed to crashing, I'm guessing the "Send Error Report" thing won't happen, but hopefully we'll get an assert.

Well, I just diffed the source of TGB and TGBX and nothing net related has seemed to change. I'm really at a loss as to what the problem could be. If it comes down to it, we can leave setNetPort out of TGBX, because it isn't necessary, but I'd like to figure out what the actual issue is.If you could download this debug version of TGBX and run it, maybe it will assert or spit out some more useful debug info.

could you compile another release version for me? Maybe its just some totally weird compiler issue or something? No idea... :P

Adam: beat me, but it works with your Debug version! No hangup, even if I uncomment setNetPort(0);...could you compile another release version for me? Maybe its just some totally weird compiler issue or something? No idea... :P

@Adam you should look at www.bugsplatsoftware.com/ its amazing (however i'm not sure how appropriate it would be for normal use as your going to have all kinds of bugs reported that are just users breaking stuff in script)

EDIT: could some other non-US-WIN user try the builds? Maybe its just some weird issue with my machine now that the installer problems seem to be out of the way? (But don't forget to fix those, too! ;))
Thx & gnite!

Bingo! VC7 worked, VC8 has just hung up again... but its bedtime for me now anyways, so no need for a reboot ;)EDIT: could some other non-US-WIN user try the builds?

Both versions work fine for me. It might be worth mentioning that I have Visual Studio 2005 installed side-by-side with Visual Studio Express.

so it really comes down to setNetPort(0); where some new voodoo seems to go on now compared to TGB...
