Game Start Up Error

by Michigan State University (#0001 · in Torque Game Builder · 02/16/2008 (9:17 pm) · 3 replies

When I try to start a game within TGB I get this error:

'initializeProject' function could not be found.
This could indicate a bad or corrupt common
directory for your game.

The Game will now shutdown because it cannot
properly function.

I am running OSX 10.5.1, and have tried to open a couple of projects that work on other machines, but do not work on mine.

Since it's been a couple days, I'll take a swing. Look at what the error message is telling you. It can't find the directory.

What did you change? Search within files for stuff.

Recently, a friend and I fixed a problem very much like yours. The whole problem was that the extractor he was using was doing strange things to the directory. Ultimate Zip. Lee is also right though. Ultimate Zip was was messing with the directory, and if you haven't touched it, its probably your extraction software.

Make sure you didn't rename the "MyTorqueGames" folder to "My Torque Games" or something. You cannot have spaces or special characters anywhere in the project directory. This seems to be Mac specific bug, as I haven't seen it reported by PC developers (assuming they didn't mess with the directory structure of course).
