Problems with Torque 2D (SOLVED)

by Vinícius José Gomes e Gomes · in Technical Issues · 01/30/2011 (4:50 pm) · 2 replies

Good night,
I downloaded the Demo version of Torque 2D, and I was following the fish tutorial in the documentation, everything was fine until I had to run the game(to see if the fish was moving to the right), when I try to run, the window just turns black and nothing happens.

My computer meets the system requirements, except that I do not have Microsoft Visual Studio 2005/2008(I would be glad if someone could tell me where to download too)

I am new here, so I do not if this the right place to ask for help, so sorry for any problems.

Edit: I revised the project and noticed that I made some mistakes in the script part, after fixing it, the game worked normally, is it normal to occur that?

And about the Visual Studio, I would like to know if there are other alternatives to Torque 2D.It seems that Microsoft no longer distributes the 2005 and 2008 versions.

@Vinicius - It is normal for the game to not run properly if there are script errors. It will still run, but you will have bad results like not rendering or failing to load a level.

As for Visual Studio, 2008 is still supported. However, you'll need a Torque 2D license to utilize it.

I see, I just found strange the Engine not saying anything about the script error.
Good to know that Visual Studio 2008 is still being supported, thanks for answering my questions.
