Running iPhone app

by Simon Golding · in iTorque 2D · 01/20/2009 (11:08 am) · 12 replies

Hey,

Just started working with iTGB and have run into a problem when trying to run the test app on the device.

I built the iPhone project as is (sideway scroller) runs fine on the simulator but when I try to run on the device itself I get the following after the bootup screen.



Game Startup Error
'initializeProject' function could not be found.

This could indicate a bad or corrupt common directory for your game.




Any ideas anyone?



Cheers,
Simon

you need to compile your scripts. The iPhone will only read compiled DSOs

try running "tgbgame" before deploying to the device.

Thanks.

I've got further, but now all i end up with is a 'white' screen, with a rectangular 'black' box in the top right corner.

Here is some of the console output.

try using the "common" folder from the "tgb->gameData->T2DProject" directory. Don't forget to run TGBGame again :)

Hey Michael K.

Do you have an email address I can contact you at, having lots of troubles getting iTGB 1.1 working for me.

You seem to have it all up and working, wondering if you could help out :)



Cheers,
Simon

So, Mac side how do you compile scripts? I have TGB and iTGB here and if I open a project that I made in TGB, run, I get dso files. If I use TGB or iTGB to open the shooter project for the phone, I just get the Game Startup Error.

@Wenceslao: run the game using "tgbgame" that comes with itgb - that should get rid of your error.

if present yes. otherwise build it from the xcode project and move it into your projects folder to execute it.

Well I tried to build TGBGame from Xcode and ran into several thousand errors so I'm assuming it isn't set up correctly. I found TGBGame.app finally and then copied it to each of the game directories and then executed it to generate the DSOs. I have the default shooter app running on iPod but it took me a while to figure out what was going on.
