Checkers Demo Doesnt Work

by Michael Becerra · in Torque Game Builder · 03/13/2006 (10:15 am) · 10 replies

When i run the checkers demo, all i get is a black window with the text about the project. I can't post my console output because it exceeds the 4k post limit.

If you want to paste your console somewhere, you could use RAFB; www.rafb.net/paste/. :)
I'm pretty sure the console doesn't contain any code for your game, or any scripts, but if it does, don't paste it there. ;)

You could always split it into two halves. ;)

Heres the link:

Any other ideas?

I'm talking about console.txt.

I think that's your problem:
ImageMap(moonBaseImageMap) Error: 'Invalid Bitmap File!' (2)
checkersdemo/data/content/datablocks.cs (0): Register object failed for object moonBaseImageMap of class t2dImageMapDatablock.
I haven't actually tried the checkers demo, but double check that image file is present, and the datablock for it defined properly.

Heres the real problem, some files are missing!

Failed to load profile bitmap (checkersdemo/gameScripts/images/window)
Missing file: checkersdemo/gui/chatGui.gui!

Could you post a pic of what you see when you fire it up.

Btw the missing moonBaseImage, the profile bitmap, and the missing chatGui should not prevent it from loading. I just downloaded 1.1beta 1.1 and fired up the checkers demo with no problem, are you running the runcheckers bat file.

Have you tried installing a fresh copy and running it from there ?

Yes and it does the same thing. I tried it on another computer and it works. Wonder why?

Could you post your console log again as well as system specs... do you have problems with any other things in TGB ?
