Noobee needs help...

by Dalle, Rene · in Technical Issues · 07/25/2007 (10:59 am) · 2 replies

I am new at scripting with Torque v1.4 that I got with Ken Finley's book. I am able to get he programm start, but when I get to the player interface display, TGE crashes on an addresing exception ar address 55e20d. The screen displays the terrain OK with all the HUD elements but crashes immediatly.

Any idea of what I would be missing? I have basically the Book chapter 6 modules with all the models, except for the car, the hovels and towers (removed from the mission file!)

Cheers...

    It could possibly be your screen display. I use 1024-1048. I read somewhere that torque will not work under a certain screen resolution. Also, some of your shapes, or hud items (if custom) do not load properly and therefore crash the engine. If you go into console and show what error it says(normally in red), I could be of further assistance.

    Screen size is 800x600x32 and NO errors appears in the console except the mention of missing objects during the mission load:
