Red screen in World Editor?
by Alex Palmquist · in Torque Game Engine · 09/14/2006 (12:44 pm) · 9 replies
I made a mission with some buildings and roads etc, saved the file, and quit the app, and when i started it again a couple of hours later, the mission loaded ok, and i spawned at the spawningpoint, but when i pressed the ctrl+11, a red screen was blocking my view. I see the names of the objects, and where i placed them, but the rest i blocked by a red screen...?

Thats happened to me befor. I seem to recall that the last thing I changed was the mass of one of my objects to "0".

@ Michael: i don't know if there's a difference between the mac version vs the pc or linux, but on mac you have to hold down ctrl when you press f11, and on a powerbook you need to hold the functionkey pressed at the same time.
@ Richard: i did not set any mass to "0", all i did was building a city with the citypack i found on digital boneyard, and to maybe clarify somethings, the city got pretty complex...
A hint of what to do would be perfect =)

@ Caleb: it's clear red, i cannot se anything but the white text from the objects. i can move, and, yes, i can edit, but i am not sure what i am doing, since i can't see anything. no files got moved.@ Michael: i don't know if there's a difference between the mac version vs the pc or linux, but on mac you have to hold down ctrl when you press f11, and on a powerbook you need to hold the functionkey pressed at the same time.

I would open the mis file and remove a few things and see if that clears it up. I would copy/paste the things I was removing to a text page to keep the settings intact, before deleting. If that clears it up, then add things back from the saved text file one at a time until it happens again. I haven't run into this problem, so don't know if it's an item you've added causing the problem.

Have you tried loading the mission and then moving around to a clear location and then going into edit F11 mode.?.

That red square follows me wherever i go, but i managed to solve it by taking some datablocks out of the missionfile... too bad though, the one's i put in last was the one's making the city "done"... :(

Sorry I wasn't more help.
EDIT- Your objects texture might be a billboard.

Just a quick thought. If the entire map is the city and the map repeats, your building objects might have a visible collision mesh.Sorry I wasn't more help.

Is it like this when you change to the camera view and fly around?
Can you move?
Can you edit your world?
Did any of your files get moved?
Will I ever stop asking questions? ;)
