Trouble running demo in -dedicated mode

by James Auld · in Torque Game Engine · 04/23/2006 (9:46 pm) · 3 replies

Hi all -

As a test wanted to run the fps.mis demo on my server in -dedicated mode. I'm using a bat file with the following commands to start it on the server:

d "c:\Projects\Examples"
demo -dedicated -mission demo\data\missions\fps.mis -log 2


In the console.log file I'm getting these errors at the end:

*** LOADING MISSION: demo\data\missions\fps.mis
*** Stage 1 load
*** Stage 2 load
Executing demo\data\missions\fps.mis.
Illegal CodeBlock path detected (no mod directory): demo\data\missions\fps.mis
(TypeFilename) illegal filename detected: ~/data/skies/sky_storm.dml
Illegal CodeBlock path detected (no mod directory): demo\data\missions\fps.mis
(TypeFilename) illegal filename detected: ~/data/terrains/details/detail1
Illegal CodeBlock path detected (no mod directory): demo\data\missions\fps.mis


Thanks in advance for any help!

James

Go into main.cs, the one located in the same directory as the exe, near the top of the file make the following adjustment...
$modcount = 1;
$userMods = $defaultGame;

This will disable the editors which will prevent the crash.

Thanks Tim - I made that modification to the main.cs. Now the console shows what must be 100+ "Could not load this GL function..." errors, and then finally a "Torque Memory Error" popup shows with: "Error allocating memory. Shutting down."

Just in case I upgraded my graphics driver to the latest one from Intel - the card in my dedicated server is the Intel Extreme Graphics D845grg chipset. This didn't help :(

I'm running this in -dedicated mode, on a dedicated server hosted for me. Since am running this in dedicated server mode, I didn't think it would even need the GL functions...

Any ideas?

No ideas, that's a doozy. I'm assuming Torque runs fine in normal mode? I agree, since you're running in dedicated mode why would it need any type of video info, kind of defeats the purpose of a dedicated server. Will have to have a think about it, let me know if you come up with anything.
