Help on Missing files

by Fredric Killmer · in General Discussion · 09/24/2004 (7:30 am) · 3 replies

Greetings, I have just started with Torque. I am using Visual C++ 6.0 and have installed and gotten a clean compile. When I run the demo all I get is a dos screen.

I look into the console.log and I find several missing files. (defaults.cs, prefs.cs server and client, propertyMap.cs, QuitGui.gui, config.cs and AudioStartup).

Being a newbie, I cannot figure out what to do to overcome some of these. The propertyMap wasn't too difficult, but the others offer greater challenges.

I copied prefs.cs in from another mod, but it still did not start the engine. The QuitGui.gui is another matter. I do not have any QuitGui.gui on my computer.

Thanks in advance for any help...

The files you are missing are non-critical files. The quitGui.gui file is missing, but you don't need it. the prefs.cs files should be written by Torque once the game loads. I think you can safely assume that the missing files are not the reason Torque doesn't run.

Does the demo executable run?

Hi,

I could not get any mod to run. Always the same thing, stopping at a dos window. But...

I got to playing around with my crt resolution. I saw a message in the console log where it said that it could not go higher than the system defaults.

I set my crt resolution to 1024x798 or whatever, and the engine started right up. So, it appears that I am off an running.

Thanks Thijs.
