TGEA1.8.1 Problem

by wangwei · in Torque Game Engine Advanced · 08/12/2009 (8:11 am) · 7 replies

hello all.
console.log show: "GFont::load - could not open 'common/data/fonts/Lucida Console 12 (ansi).uft'
Failed to create resource: [common/data/fonts/Lucida Console 12 (ansi).uft]" .
Some people know what these words mean?

Basically means you don't have UFT file that it was looking for ... however if you have the Lucida font installed it will have automatically created the UFT file for you.

Try running the game again and see if you get the error message again ... if you do, try installing the font in question and executing the game again.

Hope this helps.

wangwei: What mission did you run with 1.8.1? I can try to run it on my side as see what happens.

It shouldn't be a problem as the engine will create the UFT files it needs from fonts installed on your machine.

It is not a critical error ... so I wouldn't worry too much about it unless it is preventing the game from running.

It's a common error message when the Lucinda font isn't installed on your computer. It's nothing to worry about, and torque does have a backup font it will use instead.
