Annoying Little Issue

by Justin Proffitt · in Torque Game Builder · 07/30/2011 (3:23 pm) · 5 replies

I seem to be having a slight problem in the latest versions level editor. It is working perfectly functionally, but whenever I start torque up or return to the editor from running a scene, the window defaults to 400x400 pixels. Would anyone happen to know how to remedy that, or where it might happen? A function name that sets the editors window size* would be enough. : )

The editor itself shrinks to 400x400, or does the scene camera?

The editor itself shrinks to 400x400. As far as I can tell it does this in the following two instances:

-I start torque game builder.

-I am running a scene, then exit the scene and open the editor window before it opens by itself.

Weird. It sounds like the editor preference variables are getting eaten. Can you provide the following information?

- Operation System
- Hardware specs
- Installation directory for editor
- Path to game project

Ah, that could be part of the issue. T2D doesn't always play well when installed somewhere other than it's default directory. The changes to Windows introduced by Vista & Win7 have exacerbated that issue some.
