Emaga 5 - Disconnect Warning Text Box
by Gina-Marie -Netjera- Hammer · in Torque Game Engine · 03/02/2005 (11:40 am) · 5 replies
I've completed all of the programming for Emaga5 (Chapter 5). I've run through the multitude of syntax errors that I've received, and can get the game to run. To a point.
It goes to the splash screen, mouse click moves to the opening menu. When I click "Start Game" it begins to load. Then it gets to a specific point and a windows warning box pops up that says:
"Disconnect
You do not have the correct version of the Torque Game Engine or the related art needed to Connect to this server, please contact the server operator to obtain the latest version of this game. (Missing particle texture: !/data/particles/smoke)"
At that point, I can't even cancel out of the game load, it just hangs. I can, however, still use the to get out of the mission. Prior to this, I had about 30 syntax errors and all of them caused me to get program shutdown errors.
"TGE has caused an error and will have to close.. etc, etc.. would you like to send an error report?"
Don't know if that's related to the issue I'm having now, but I bring it up in case it's relevant.
It sounds like it's missing a file, although I might be wrong about that being the problem. It says that my version of TGE is out of date? I did some searcing around and found Ken Finney's discussion on Chapter 5 (you'll see this post there, too); and I tried his suggestion to take the TGE file directly out of the Ch5 resources file and copy it into the Emaga5 directory. When I run it, I still get the same issue.
Anybody have any thoughts? I'm going nuts. Syntax errors I can deal with, but if this is something I did, it's not showing up in the console (I run everything from a MS-DOS console, if I can, so I can spot errors) as an error, so there's nothing I know to correct.
Thanks for the help, I'm pulling my hair out!

Something seems funky with the path tho: !/data... the ! shouldnt be there

I would try finding the code block that references that texture and commenting it out, and then seeing if the game will load correctly.Something seems funky with the path tho: !/data... the ! shouldnt be there

I noticed that to. But would that cause it to tell me the Torque Engine isn't right? *boggle*

Find the line in script that is trying to call that texture and change it to actually point to the texture.

It loads all the way (no disconnect error box). Then it says it's encountered an error and needs to close, would I like to inform Microsoft. I've looked in the log, and the only thing that seems like it might be an issue is the following statement:
Loading compiled script control/server/weapons/crossbow.cs.
Error: shape control/data/models/weapons/boltclip.dts-collision detail 0 (Collision-3) bounds box invalid!
Can anyone tell me what this means please, and if it might be causing TGE to crash entirely?
Thanks!

Okay, I did that and I'm no longer getting the disconnect warning. But now, the game is crashing entirely.It loads all the way (no disconnect error box).
