Help, Can't save mission...

by ysun · in Torque Game Engine · 09/14/2006 (9:17 am) · 3 replies

Hello,

I followed the 'Getting Started' toturial to make a simple level. But the 'save mission as' seems not work, when torque crashed, I run it again and select 'open mission', but can not find the one I have saved.

Does anyone know how to resolve it? Thanks.

Crashes during mission saving are often related to bad object names. Do not use spaces, punctuation or anything else other than letters and numbers. Also avoid using massive names (keep things under 30 characters).

Thanks, but I meant I can not save mission. ;)

Maybe I shouldn't add "torque crashed" in this thread to make you misunderstood, 'torque crashed' is another thing sometimes happened to me. I mean when 'torque crashed', I 'open mission' and found nothing I have save there.

Do you know how to save a mission successfully?

I think I know why, this topic can be deleted.

Though I have set $defaultGame = "test"; in main.cs and copy a tutorial.base directory and named it 'test' like the tutorial said, the mission was still saved in tutorial.base mission directory and there is a line in test.mis like this:

$Editor::newMissionOverride = "tutorial.base/data/missions/flat.mis";

I don't understand so exactly, but almost. Thank you.
