Ai Player Problem

#1 Ooopps silly little mistake
loop(%me); is loop(%npc);

doesnt change anything tho

#2 What soldier model are you using, did you make it yourself?

#3 The soldier model from the soldier content pack,there is nothing wrong with the model as it loads up when it does not execute that file

#4 Thats what I thought some of the models from content packs and such say that. I don't think that qualifies as a fatal error though I've had it say that and it didn't do anything. Maybe pop in the torque orc and see if it says the same thing, I'm pretty sure this is your model not the code.

#5 No that hasnt got much to do with it,when i said a fatal error i meant the game crashs thats just where the console ends and it appear somewhere else now, it trips up when it executes the dso

#8 Any Help? the application just closes and on older versions comes up with the error report

#9 Its strange the TSE Demo build compiles & executes it fine but doesnt work on anything else
Ive tried it on the following builds:

Advanced 3D GP 's build
TGE 1.4 original
TGE 1.3 original
TGE 1.3 modified
RTS_Debug original
Synapselighting pack demo
TSE demo - It Works!!!

Is there some reason why it should,
Help plz - thks

#10 When you run in a debugger, what is the callstack?

#11 Ahh, I have just discovered it said this when running in debug mode on tourquedev

Warning: (c:\dev\rts_svn\trunk\engine\gui\guitypes.cc @ 293) GuiControlProfile: requested gui profile (GuiContentProfile) does not exist.

ill see if it says the same for 1.4, even though im getting TSE soon :)

actually thats probably because it was the RTS engine

#12 Ok it seems like ive had quite a few problems, Ive realised wats wrong with that source file it was the datablocks at the bottom. But i now have the shader engine and it has that same error I posted above a missing gui profile and usually breaks when it executes and gui file, any ideas why?

btw it does this whatever profile i set it as i changed it to guidefaultprofile and it still breaks
