New Mission

by Howard Dortch · in Torque Game Engine · 05/19/2004 (5:41 am) · 6 replies

I ran the fps starter mission and created a new mission and saved it. When I run the program and select that mission it fails and tells me I dont have the corect version or the wrong assets and says disconnect.

1. How can I make a custom mission and run it?

2. What am I disconnected from if I dont play host or try to do a network game?

3. Can I make the game so it's just peer to peer?

4. I see the -connect as a command line startup option so do I put the ip address there?

Hi

Did you save the mission to the right folder ?
it should be starter.fps/data/missions/yourmap.mis

1. Open existing mission, modify, save to new file. Or you can create it from scratch but that's usually not worth the effort. :)

2. It sounds like you're referencing a file or asset that doesn't exist. Check the console log for errors about missing files. Some things - like missing button art - are ok, but other things - like missing character textures - are not.

3. No. Torque always runs client-server. For most games this is preferable. If you really want to, you can rewrite the networking code, but this isn't recommended. :)

4. Yes.

I created a new mission and named it Ranger.mis when I run the fps demo the only selection I have is newMission. I created 3 other missions and named them all different names. When I run the program to select a mission I have 4 missions all named newMission even tho all the names are correct in the directory. How can I get the gui to recognize the actual names instead of substituting newMission for the names?

Ah, sorry I made the assumption Save AS would have done that.

Ok now I have the Ranger.mis on one computer and I create a network game ( Host Multiplayer ) I have another computer on a lan that I coppied the entire game to. When I try to connect to this game all the second computer sees as a mission name is "FPS Starter Kit" what would I have to change so the second computer would see the actual mission name?

btw thanks for your fast replies....

Let me see if I can answer my own question:

The second computer sees "FPS starter" as a server to connect to. The first computer, the host has selected the mission so the second computer by default then would run the host selected mission on that server.

Now im scared...im starting to understand....
