TorgueDemo just sits

by Doug Linley · in Torque Game Engine · 11/13/2002 (5:35 pm) · 11 replies

Hey all. I just bought the torque license and built it. But I try to run torqueDemo_DEBUG.exe and it just opens up a command prompt and sits there. Anyone else have this problem and now how to fix it?

Thanks!

Run with either:

torqueDemo -console

or:

torqueDemo -log 1

If you use the -log option the demo will create a log file.

- Pentium 4 1.5ghz
- 512mb RAM

Here is where it just stops when I run with the -console option. It says I'm missing common/defaults.cs but from what I can tell, I have all the files from cvs.

Thanks for the help.

This isn't necessarily a problem. This wouldn't cause the program to hang or exit.

Is that the full contents of the log file?

As a last resort you could use the debugger and see what's going on.

Hey guys I think you are overlooking something. No matter who you are, TorqueDemo.exe will just sit if you double click it. You have to run it with a game, silly.

Try doing this:
torqueDemo.exe -game fps

Not true Max. By default the Torque demo runs the "fps" game.

Guys, I really appreciate your help, especially since I didn't give much useful information up front. I blue away my torque directory and redownloaded the cvs 1.1.2 version and it works fine now. I had the same version before, but something must have been missing.

For just an FYI, I did run this in debug, and stepped through it. This didn't help me, as it would just loop through the main game loop. But it didn't even fire up a graphics window. Just sat blinking in the command window. Oh well. works now. Thanks again!

Doug

That's wierd, I even tried it and it didn't run FPS.
Oh well.
