Mac Version. Where's the Mission Editor? HELP

by Jim Wellington · in Game Design and Creative Issues · 10/22/2007 (12:59 pm) · 9 replies

I tried to ask this question before. somehow it ended up in resourses???

I bought the engine Last March. I downloaded and set it up on my mac. I messed with the demo. I couldn't save the demo, I thought I probably tried to do too much and exceded the limits of the demo engine.

Real Life got in the way.

Now I'm back, reading the documentation, trying to get something accomplished that I can look at and say, okay, I can do this...

But I can't find a way to turn on the mission editor.

I can turn on the show tool pro and the constructor, but when I hit F11 in either everything vanishes and nothing takes its place.

I did talk to "Knight" on Minions of Mirth, and he was very helpful. He convinced me that I hadn't completely lost my mind and gave me a few hints, and I guess he actually has gotten something done with his copy of this. (I still owe him-)

But, aside from the mini/limited thing inside the demo, where the bleep is the executable (mac version) mission editor?

Thanks,

    F11 is in-game on the pc version (i'm sure it's the same on the mac). go into the demo and press f11 - torque_demo.exe or whatever the executable is on the mac..

    I hope that it's not this: MacOS by default has F11 mapped to "Show Desktop". If so, then the F11 key press would never be passed to the program...

    Nope- didn't work, crashed twice.

    Thanks anyway.

    D Robinson,

    Thanks, There may be an easy way to remap the "show desktop" to one of the higher #'d Function Keys.

    (There almost certainly is. but with my brain short-circuiting here over frustrations etc, I might not be able to find it for a while... at least I still have my sense of humour.)

    Thanks again.

    You can remap the function keys in System Preferences / Keyboard & Mouse / Keyboard Shortcuts.

    Thanks, I did that- it sort of worked once, crashed three more times. I had to go pick up my step son from his behaviour tutor (Asperger Syndrome) and rebooted. I'm about to find out whether rebooting helped any-

    :)

    -----Thanks Again.

    I finally got somewhere....

    And this is what I got-

    (excuse the broken links etc, this is a hastily slapped together page with a limited mission and a limited audience, you-)

    Thanks-

    In case anyone is still reading this, CTRL+F11 gets me in.

    Unfortunately I then don't get long before it hangs, but hope that helps.
