Wierd bug

by Howard Dortch · in Torque Game Engine · 08/10/2004 (12:48 pm) · 4 replies

I tried to make a new type of bot player and copied everyting over from player, renamed the file and all is well in single player.
When I try to connect another client I get this error loading the datablocks

... Shape with old version.
Sending request for file Game/data/shapes/player/orc/playertttttttttttttttttttt
Connection error: Missing sequence Game/data/shapes/player/orc/playertttttttttttttttttttt for Game/data/shapes/player/guard/player.dts.


It appears to be a syntax problem like a missing semicolon or something but it all looks right and works fine on host.

Any idea what might cause this?

Funny, I am having this exact same problem... Did you figure it out?

Ok I partially figured it out... I was using an old Realm Wars Elf for testing (I just copied over the elf folder) when it wasn't working.

When I removed the elf folder and replaced it with the RW orc folder (with an altered skin color to prove my character selection was working), it worked just fine.

What's odd to me is that the elf worked great for the client/server, but crashed any additional client.
