Crashing when accessing projects.
by Carl Davis · in Torque 3D Beginner · 11/12/2012 (2:34 am) · 9 replies
I would like to get started exploring T3D, but every time I try to create a project other than the FPS tutorial, it gets 100% done and then crashes, and crashes the same way if I try to open the project it created.

I re-installed Torque3D and was able to create a new project using full PhysX and I can open the project. I tried copying FPS Tutorial to My Projects and clicking it in the toolbox but it crashes.
I tried deleting all the contents of FPS Tutorial and copying the contents of Full Template to the folder but Toolbox still crashes when I click on the project in toolbox and now toolbox crashes when I try to make a new project again. It crashes when its completed creating the project and the OK dialog box is up. It crashes when creating a Full PhysX, Full, Empty PhysX or Empty.
I'm pretty sure I can reinstall and it will work, but for some reason copying the FPS Tutorial borks the install.
** - Yes, deleting Torque3D and extracting the rar to the same location will work in creating new projects without crashing. Now I need to figure out how to get the FPS Tutorial working...
** - EEEEK, it would help if I read instructions, "Extract FPS Tutorial to template folder".
** - Created a new project using FPS Tutorial as a template, crashed with OK dialog, now it wont create any projects without crashing again. Will make sure DX is up to date and video drivers.
** - DX is up to date but still crashing... I will update video driver, but am pretty sure this is not the issue.

Same with me, I created a new project and played with it a bit, then copied FPS Tutorial to My Projects and tried clicking on that project in the Toolbox but it would crash. When I tried creating a new project, it would finish but before I could click ok, it would crash the toolbox. When I re-opened toolbox and clicked on the newly created project, it would crash.I re-installed Torque3D and was able to create a new project using full PhysX and I can open the project. I tried copying FPS Tutorial to My Projects and clicking it in the toolbox but it crashes.

The issue seems to be that selecting anything other than the top item is causing a crash. I created an empty project using the full template, which worked, and one using the No Physx Template, which also worked, but only the top one works at any given time.

The closed source T3D Toolbox is to be replaced with the open source T3D Project Generator, which contains fixes for the aforementioned issues. Use it instead.

I downloaded the zip file from GitHub yesterday, doesn't this contain the updated files?

As far as I know... not yet. In the future it will - once the master branch is updated. Currently the new Project Generator is available in a separate repository.

Also, it seems Carl Davis is correct, I reinstalled from the ZIP archive and created 1 project which worked fine, ran it, played it, exited. Re-launched Toolbox, tried creating a second project and it crashed.

I will go the GitHub repository route for the install and see if that fixes this.Also, it seems Carl Davis is correct, I reinstalled from the ZIP archive and created 1 project which worked fine, ran it, played it, exited. Re-launched Toolbox, tried creating a second project and it crashed.

Downloaded GitHub and grabbed the repository. Created Project1 with Full PhysX, launched game, closed it, created Project2 with Full PhysX and it crashed with OK dialog.

Note that even with the older Toolbox, your project is probably ready to play and can be launched via the *.EXE in the /MyProjects/<Projectname>/game/<Projectname>.EXE
To open GUI Editor press F10 ingame, for World Editor use F11

The new Project Manager does work for me, although it doesn't offer to open World- or GUI Editor from the initial dialog. Read here:http://www.garagegames.com/community/blogs/view/21984

Just copy the Full template from the Templates folder into a newly created (manually) My Projects folder.
Edit: Err... or the fps tutorial. Or both. ;)
