Custom project

I am trying to learn the engine by making my own custom empty project.
Im trying to start a mission without a server-client but it doesn't really seem to work.
I have the code above in a function binded to a button in the main gui, when i click the button, i land in a black screen, which should be the empty room, but i cant seem to rotate and see the floor, the gray floor.
Could someone tell me what im missing ?
Thanks.

clientStartMission();

@Yoni - You will not be able to. The entire engine is built on client-server architecture. Datablocks, movement, pack/unpack updates and so on. Even if you are wanting a single player game, you still want to have the required client code working as if it were in a sever communication mode.

Perhaps start with the docs. I know they're not perfect, but they're very helpful. Also, if you create a "Full Project" and look at how it initializes a game session you can learn a lot. Use echo() and your console and logs to trace it through and you'll see how it all comes together.
