Big problem in starting projects
by Jared Paul Tambala · in Technical Issues · 01/25/2011 (4:16 am) · 3 replies
I have just downloaded the Torque 3D demo and I have installed DirectX as part of the installation. When in the Torque Toolbox window (where you load projects) any project I load opens up a grey screen window and a message box comes up saying "Failed to set a light manager!", then then the window closes.
Another thing is that during the installation, it said that I had to install PhysX, and that I would be directed to a page with the installation. However, before it had even done anything else, the box closed and it did not install. I don't know whether this is causing the first problem or if it may cause future problems if I do not have PhyX installed. I'm thinking about re-installation. Any suggestions?

Considering the error message you might try editing game/core/scripts/client/defaults.cs, find the light manager preference and change it to read Basic Lighting instead of the default letting it choose from a preferred list which favors Advanced Lighting.
