Im happy to say that i got this engine down, im wiping out my game im ahead of where i wanted to be and i just can't drop it for nuthing, i catch myself going at it for long nights, and look at the clock and its 2am. thank you for such a great engine. its more than i originaly thought and for my first time with an engine this thing is wonderfull.

ok,now on to my Question.
How do you change the text on the chatwindow in the upper left corner? where it says welcome to torque demo namehere. i've done some searches in the help files and i've went through prety much everything in f11 and f12. is it a separate txt file? or script file? i've tried looking through some of those but haven't found it yet.
thanks for any help
Randy

Simple search for you string finds it in:
clientConnection.cs line 85
"Welcome to the Torque demo app"

Is that what you wanted?

You should configure your find tool to search all relevant project files.

for example in visual studio and with torque projects
I add *.cs, *.gui and *.mis to the search..
then you can simply do a project wide search for text such as that for a quick locate.

That is correct to setup a dedicated server. When I run it on my end it displays a bunch of console type text.

I assume you have disabled this somehow or you link is not right.

have you tried starting it via the command line/"dos" shell?

Well by default its "torquedemo.exe" not demo. I assumed you re-named it.

What you have would work on my machine. Have you looked at the console.log to see if it is generated and if it contains anything?

Yes I was talking about the compiled demo (or Torquedemo.exe) The command you gave works on my machine or at least starts a dedicated server.

From what you have posted it looks like you have disabled the dedicated server capability within the code. You need to go back to the original demo and find out what you removed that you shouldn't have.

Actualy i haven't disabled any codes. i think its because the main .exe demo.exe is the one from the public download page. i was having problems compiling the full torquedemo.exe file.
it returned with several errors. but will try again

There are many threads as well as docs on compiling the Torquedemo.exe. Do a search or look at the original docs.

Out of most of the questions I have seen the biggest problem people seem to have compiling is not appling the registory patch when using VC 6.0

Good Luck
