    This is your problem. It's telling you that Torque doesn't know what you are talking about. Make sure you have added all the files for this resource into your build of torque. (thru your compiler) then do a clean rebuild.

    I have the class DatabaseConnection added to the engine Console folder through Visual Studio but am unable to open any of the Playworld files in visual studio as they are .cs files. How do I overcome this?

    Does not: "Unable to instantiate non-conobject class DatabaseConnection" mean that there is no datablock of DatabaseConnection? You can open the script files with notepad or something like that.

    Ted - No it has nothing to do with datablocks, the error is telling Lisa that the class DatabaseConnection has not been coded correctly in the engine itself - there are few things you must do as a minimum to create objects available in the console/script engine i.e. setting a parent object, declare as a conobject, definining consolemethods, etc.

    Lisa - please see my comments in your other thread on what your issue might be.
