Re: New Mission

by Richard Van Stone · in Torque Game Engine · 02/07/2005 (9:40 pm) · 4 replies

Whenever I try to create a new mission I'm experiencing a problem where it says my files are out of date and won't load them. Basically what I'm doing is starting the fps...selecting new mission....edit the terrain file to the new terrain bmp. Then I save the file and exit the program. Once exited I copy the .ter and .mis file to the /data/missions directory and try to load it and there is the error. What's causing this?

For one, "Save mission as" not "Save mission". You don't want to overwrite the newMission.mis/ter so save it as a different filename. This will save you from having to exit and move the files.

Did that....even reinstalled to make sure I didn't do it by accident. Still the same problem. I can't load a new mission. Can someone else try doing it with the steps I did to make sure it's not a bug in the program?

I'm using v1.3

Oh!
I think it has something to do with what's in the .mis file.
For example, I made a new mission and got the same error, but if you replace "./skies/sky_day.dml" with "~/data/skies/sky_day.dml" it works!
So check the rest of the paths in the .mis file, and set them to "~/data/blah/etc.stuff"?
