Torque Constructor Release Candidate 1

#1 What is your OS? System specs? Does it generate a console.log or does it just give a Windows/Mac error?

I haven't gotten a chance to head home and play with it yet, but that information should be of help to others who may/may not be having a similar issue.

#2 It worked fine for me over here.

Maybe try deleting your ignition.dat and re-entering your ignition key?

#3 Windows XP.. I got Constructor to work it is the TorquDemo.exe that came with it to load up the DIF's that I export out to see in engine working.

#4 Working on the Mac thus far...

#5 You have to use the torqueDemo.exe with a Torque install (download the demo and replace the executable for example)...you can't run it out of the Constructor folder and expect it to work.

#6 Working fine on my OS, WinXP with SP2.

#7 Works great on my Tablet PC, XP desktop, and G5.

#8 The RC2 works great on XP Pro and Vista HP.

Guess I can't really call trying to make Constructor make 1000 boxes and it crashing a bug :p

I'll let you know if I hit any bugs... it's looking great, congrats!


Edit: The torqueDemo.exe dosen't load (on vista).

Copy of console.log

#9 I have made about 1400 boxes and it didn't crash. ;)



Must say that the render speed of RC1&2 are times faster than beta versions. ;)

Found a bug, if I save a scene while with some brushes selected, the constructor will crash.

#10 Sorry, I meant to say 10,000 :p

1000 loads up pretty quick :)

#11 @Joseph - I did the same 10,000 cube stress test you did ... eventually it did finish to my amazement. If it is crashing on you I would suspect it has ran out of RAM, as that will always cause a crash with Constructor. Another thing to test - close constructor and reopen it, then try 10k cubes again. If you had been using constructor for a while before you tried the 10k cubes the first time, it may have already gobbled up a lot of ram on whatever you had been working on.

*Edit - I have 2 gigs of ram in the test machine I tried this on. How much are you running?

#12 @Kenneth, I just tried again and I got 10,000 now :p

I think the problem was... when I tried it before, I also had a bridge I made and a few .dts shapes on there as well.

I got 1.5gig of ram, AMD Sempron 3300+ CPU, GeForce 6600 256mb ram (crap I know)

#13 @ all, so the next aim is 50,000 or 100,000 brushes? ;P

Mine was crashed when I tried to make a 100,000 brushes scene, but what kind of game level use 100,000 brushes, MATRIX? ;)

#14 Try 20,000 and see if that works :)

#15 Sun Yu,
Be sure to report that bug in mantis with clear reproduce steps so we can get it tracked down and fixed.

Thanks!

On my PC it's crashed. But earlier I have tried 15 x 15 x 15 x 5 = 16875 , no crash happened. For my current job, the brush number is enough. ;)

#17 @Matt,

No problem, I will report the bugs into Mantis. ;)
