Major Problems

by Tom Lenz · in Torque Game Builder · 03/21/2008 (3:04 pm) · 2 replies

Alright this is really starting to tick me off.

I have been working on my game for the past week, everything working out. Today, while I was working, things starting freaking out. Right now if I load my project up, it appears to come up fine. I can add, and change things within the Torque interface. After making changes to the sprites or what not, I go to test it. Nothing has changed. Images that I have added do not show up. Things I have deleted are still there. Now heres the good part. If I change the code, that will change the game. If I put in a image and then try to address it in code, I receive an error that the image doesn't exist. I have tried everything I can think of, restarting, reinstalling. Any help would be very much appreciated. I was told that it might be that I might be trying to use something that I have deleted, so I tried commenting out all of the code, still didn't work.

Thanks Tom

I would do a couple of things at this point:

If your modifying something that would affect datablock.cs for example:

1. Search your drive for all files on your drive that start start with the word datablock. Record the timestamp on any found.
2. Go into TGB and add an image / object that would affect the file you searched for above, then save the scene.
3. Repeat 1 - check the timestamps.
4. If none of the files are altered check the console log file .. in fact search for all console.log files on your drive and again check the timestamps.

Thats where I would start trying to track this down - not sure if that helps or not, but hopefully you will see something screwy there.

I think I got it. I still have some problems but its working better now. One of the datablock files had a date of July 14th 2008. I don't know how that happened but I guess it was causing problems. Thanks for the help.
