Setting starting mission in FPS Demo (How??)

by Gleznov · in Technical Issues · 08/09/2005 (3:38 pm) · 1 replies

Hi,

I've created a new mission I'd like to have run when I execute torquedemo.exe. I've gone through all the scripts but I can't find anywhere where "Stronghold.mis" is defined as the starting mission. I've searched .cs files and .gui files, but no good. What have I missed? And when I saved my new mission, it didn't put it in the "Missions" subdirectory, it put it in the data directory - why is that?

I would suggest Torque Game Engine Public Area >> Mods is a better place for this question.

In the starter.fps mod, it looks in the directory starter.fps/data/mission and creates a list of missions in that directory to choose from when you start up.

If you want it to force a certain mission and give no choice, you can see what the tutorial.base mod has done in its main.cs file.

function loadTestMission()
{
   // Create the server and load the mission
   createServer("SinglePlayer",expandFilename("./data/missions/test1.mis"));

   // Make a local connection
   %conn = new GameConnection(ServerConnection);
   RootGroup.add(ServerConnection);
   %conn.setConnectArgs("Player");
   %conn.setJoinPassword("None");
   %conn.connectLocal();
}

You can then have your start game button (or whatever button you want) call that function.

Hope that helps.
