Console questions

by Michael Rogers · in Torque Game Engine · 07/06/2005 (11:35 am) · 16 replies

Hi, All:

I have two problems with the console. First, I can't paste anything into it, using command-V (I'm using Tiger). Secondly -- and this may be a feature, not a bug -- the console seems to be fixed in size/location.

Thanks for any insights,

Michael

Console is fixed. It will be mobile in 1.4, however.

Don't know about the paste issue; is this with a stock build of Torque?

Thanks for your reply, Ben. I'm glad to hear the console will be "on the move".

The build I'm using came from here: http://download.garagegames.com/195069b54acfc8a551e9b9f92decbdac/TorqueGameEngineSDK_1_3.dmg

I didn't even bother to compile, just ran the OSX executable.

Cheers,

Michael

That's correct. Copy/Paste doesn't work inside Torque on the Mac.
I'm not exactly sure why that is.. it ought to work, but with ctrl-c / ctrl-v. A quick test says it doesn't, and a quick look through the source says it should.

Mysterious. Anybody else noticed this problem? I'm tracking this thread; if we can sort out the issues here, I'll file a bug.

Yes, I've noticed the same. No cutting and pasting allowed in the console on Macs.

Yes, as we said above, this is something that SHOULD be working. Since it doesn't appear to be, we'll fix it. :)

At least as far as 1.3 is concerned, the getClipboard() and setClipboard() functions in the Mac platform code are not implemented. There is commented out win32 code in there, but that doesn't really help :)

When's the release date for that?

When it's done. At the rate we're fixing bugs for it, I doubt much longer.

That's exactly the philosophy I use when flying: I will get there ... when I get there :-)

I am having a different console bug on the Mac:

In game, when I bring up the console, I can type commands into the text field at the bottom. But that field only accepts letters and numbers, no punctuation or symbols. Has anyone seen this, or know of a solution? Sorry if this has been brought up before, but I couldn't find anything about it.

I'm running OSX 10.4.2 with TGE 1.3 I compiled from source. We added some C++ classes, but didn't change any of the existing ones, I pretty sure.

Thanks!

Update:
This problem is true for all text fields, including in the GUI Editor, where not being able to use () or / is a big problem. I imagine that this is a known problem, but I can't seem to find anything info related to it in the forums or documentation. Thanks in advance.

The problem was in our own code. My apologies to all.
