How can I change the message in the messageHUD in Starter.FPS?

by Matt Dalton · in Torque Game Engine · 01/07/2008 (6:29 am) · 4 replies

I have recently bought the Torque Game Engine and I have already made a small game for a school project.
My game was built on starter.FPS but I deleted the missions it came with and I've customized the menus and backgrounds to make it my own. I have two problems now. First, I can't change the message "Welcome to the Torque demo app " that appears in the messageHUD; and secondly I can't get the game to work without the engine being installed. Please can anyone help? This is really urgent, I need this info before wednesday. Please!

Engine should not need to be installed. Just make sure your game includes the 3 DLLs in your examples folder as well. And that you do not try to distribute the debug version.
As well, users might need to install the VC Redist package if they do not have that many "professional" apps installed.

And the message can be changed within the scripts.

Thank you so much! That's very helpful. Just one more thing, do you know in which script the message can be changed?

Just do a grep (find in all files) for the "Welcome to the Torque demo app " text. It's somewhere in canvas.cs or init.cs from memory.
