T3D 1.1 Preview - Empty Template is non-functional. - LOGGED (THREED-1579)

Build:
T3D 1.1 Preview

Platform:
Any

Target:
Mission loading for the Game and the Editor.

Issue:
With T3D the Empty Template stalls during mission load - apparently right after the Lighting Stage - with no errors and fails to load the mission

Repeat:
Start up an Empty Template project and attempt to load the default mission. Try either the in-game choose level dialog or by loading a level for editing (pressing f11 from the Main Menu).

Suggest:
Make it work.

There are also quite a few 'missing' scripts and guis that were removed in previous betas. The exec calls for these missing files are still in there and need to be cleaned. The missing files, if replaced, do not seem to affect the failure of the mission to start.

    In game\scripts\server\game.cs...


    // These override the values set in core/scripts/server/spawn.cs
//-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
$Game::DefaultPlayerClass = "" //<-- LINE CHANGED;
$Game::DefaultPlayerDataBlock = ""; //<-- LINE CHANGED

    It'll give you a tiny messagebox/flash to notify you that it can't create a player and is creating an observer instead. Ignore it, it shouldn't be a big deal.

    Fixt.

    Ah, of course! The Empty Template doesn't have an example player datablock... didn't even think about that.
