L3DT, TGEA and Atlas Files

by Sergio "Zagar" Zarraga · in Torque Game Engine Advanced · 11/17/2009 (8:29 am) · 4 replies

Hi!!!

We are making a videogame (obviously, because in torque it's impossible make a pizza XD ), and I have a problem when I want to open it in a Stronghold game example one mission with the .atlas terrain.

The game gives me 2 results, the player falls into infinite sky, or the game crashes.

Does anyone have an example of a mission file with .atlas terrain inside?

Thanks for your help!!!

Hi Sergio,

I apologise for my slow reply. My first guess when reading that the "player falls into infinite sky" is that the spawn point is either beneath the terrain or off to one side. Can you post the contents of your mission file here?

This mission file renders OK in the AtlasDemo project:

Hi Sergio,

It looks like the position of your spawn sphere is off the side of your terrain map. It should be OK if you change the spawn sphere position to something like this:

position = "0 0 100";

Best regards,
Aaron.
