Question workspace set-up

by James W. · in Torque Game Engine · 02/19/2007 (11:11 am) · 3 replies

I just started this book and after setting up my work space, Is this suppose to have sound for the flashscreen and others'.

in the consule it has

Unable to locate audio profile 'AudioStartup'

also few others like

Missing file: prototype/data/terrains/scorched/propertyMap.cs
Missing file: common/defaults.cs
Missing file: prototype/client/ui/QuitGui.gui

I just want to make sure.

Do I redo the folder structure? (it just seems they are a little out of place).
Are we suppose to copy the whole directory for file paths or just the ending of the path to the ending in the placement path.

@James,

Hi. It looks like maybe you got your answer in another thread?

Before I give any advice here, I would like to refer you do a new appendix which summarizes all of the lesson steps AND fixes the mistakes I made in the printed version. You can get that appendix here:

Appendix E. Maze Runner Lessons (Steps Only) - Covers Mac and Windows

If you still experience issues with your Maze Runner setup, by all means ping me back on this thread.

I'm sorry for taking so long to answer and I do aplogize for your lost time.

I really should have made the new appendix easier to find.


On that note, if this resolves the problem, and if you have issues and questions for other chapters, please post them in one of these threads:
Chapters 1 & 2
Chapter 3
Chapter 4
Chapter 5
Chapter 6
Chapter 7
Chapter 8
Chapter 9
Chapter 10
Chapter 11
Chapter 12
Chapter 13
Chapter 14

Also, there are support docs and other downloads available here:

I never fixed the audio problem I just kept going in the book. I have completed Lesson 6 so far.


My original question:

Was the sound suppose to work immeditaly upon workspace set-up?

or

Does the sound start working in a later lesson?


I followed the Appendix E in the link up there and still have this:

Unable to locate audio profile 'AudioStartup'


/// Load client-side Audio Profiles/Descriptions
exec("./scripts/audioProfiles.cs"); In the prototype/client/init.cs file

and the the audioProfiles.cs is located in prototype/client/scripts

It's ok, I just did lesson 11 and the audio works. It just that come up in the console and didn't know if it was going to work.

in the other book I was doing it had button over sound for the the gui main page.
