Problem When Starting TGB
by Mark J A Smith · in Torque Game Builder · 08/09/2006 (12:31 pm) · 4 replies
I've had TGB 1.1.0 installed for about a week, and have been working with it frequently. All of a sudden, this afternoon, upon starting TGB, I get the following message in a pop up window:
"Cannot Create New Level, No Scene Views" - the window title is "Error"
If I open any project, I get the same thing - even when I try to open the included projects. The main editor screen shows up, with the three tabs on the right side, and all the images are there, but the main window (where your level would normally be) is divided into two panes vertically, and that error message is displayed.
I have no idea what to do, or what I could have possibly done to cause this. I didn't do anything differently earlier today (last time TGB functioned properly) than I have during the past week, except yesterday I did try out the "Build Project" menu option. Any thoughts/ideas?

Oh, and here's what the console displays when trying to create a new level, or "play"ing my game, or starting up TGB:

This error is generally associated with a corrupted layout file for your scene views. If you split your sceneviews (Which your image makes me think you did) and for some reason the layout was not saved properly (image once again makes me think that's the case) you will get errors like that and see no scene.
You can replace the file games/tools/levelEditor/data/layouts/default.cs with a fresh install version, or you can use the one I've linked below. Let me know if this solves your problems!

I believe that is exactly what must have happened. I replaced that file, and sure enough everything is peachy once again - thanks a bunch! I'm not sure what I did wrong that it didn't save properly, but it hasn't happened again since...guess it was one of those freak occurrences.

It looks like maybe you don't have a default scenegraph specified??
