This reallly needs to be in that GettingStarted.pdf....

In the folder with the torque.exe, there is a new file called "console.log" Open it with a text editor and see what error it's giving. Whenever you have a problem in torque, that log is your best source of information as it tells you most everything torque did.

Ok i kinda sorta figard it out You needs have the saved game gameonemission.mis or change the code in you "gameone" folder the main. cs in that folder has a line under the heading LOAD MY MISSION

createServer("SinglePlayer", expandFilename("./data/missions/gameonemission.mis"));

did not make a gameonemission.mis .........

so change the line to
createServer("SinglePlayer", expandFilename("./data/missions/flat.mis"));

and it will work ... always remeber to follow the Whole tutorial then it will work ... but if your like me lol you wil need to learn how to read code quickly to fix problems that arise......

Something like this should serve:
Canvas.setContent( MainMenuGui );

The TGE demo mod starter.fps file client/init.cs has a method called loadMainMenu() that does a bit more than this. It would be a good idea to look over the demo MOD after running through the tutorial.

It makes a good platform to make small experimental changes against.
Also, look for CodeWeaver or Torsion that are TorqueScript Integrated Development Environments (IDE's). They make doing text searchs through script files easy, along with many other common tasks.
