Mission load stuck

by Joshua Brown · in General Discussion · 10/08/2007 (4:47 pm) · 4 replies

Hi all. I was messing around with a .mis file in the in game editor. I was moving an object and then saved it and quit. A while later I reloaded it from the Torque demo game, and now it's stuck on the "waiting for server" phase of the loading process. I can quit the game and re-try it, but it always pauses indefinetly on the waiting for server portion.

any ideas as to whats wrong?

Check the console log. It will tell you what it is hanging on.

Hmph. Something in one of the objects I added did it. I ended up removing most of them because the same problem happened with several of them. ( after I fixed one of them, the same problem happened with a different object the next time I tried to load it.)

This WAS my log file:

*** LOADING MISSION: creator/data/newMission.mis
*** Stage 1 load
*** Stage 2 load
Executing creator/data/newMission.mis.
creator/data/newMission.mis Line: 152 - parse error
>>> Advanced script error report. Line 152.
>>> Some error context, with ## on sides of error halt:
minMass = "0.75";

maxMass = "0.85";

maxTurbulence = "0.1";

turbulenceSpeed = "0.2";

useTurbulence = "0";

numDrops = "1024";

boxWidth = "200";

boxHeight = "100";

};

new InteriorInstance(wierd square) {

## ## canSaveDynamicFields = "1";

position = "21.7765 -243.223 27.8452";

rotation = "1 0 0 0";

scale = "1 1 1";

interiorFile = "demo/data/interiors/towers/landtower.dif";

showTerrainInside = "0";

};

new InteriorInstance(Fortress) {
>>> Error report complete.


So I have it fixed by simply removing those objects... but any ideas as to why it was messing up?

Don't put spaces in object names. 'weird square' was probably the culprit

Ahha. That would do it. :p Thanks guys.

I do have one more question though, (new problem)

I have the urban enviroment pack with the pallets and barrels and what not, I put 4 barrels on a pallet and now everytime I run into them TGEA crashes. Is it just overloading the system with collision input?
