#2 I'm not at home right now, but from my memory i changed the Camera component type from FreeCameraComponent to T3DCameraComponent in the leveldata.txscene file.

#3 Didn't work for me. I am still sitting here without a camera.. LOL! Are we the only 3 guys with this problem?

Found a solution in a 2D thread. It seems to have worked.

4. I right clicked each project and changed the assembly name under the application tab to GarageGames.TorqueX.Framework3D for the Torque3D project and GarageGames.TorqueX.Framework for the TorqueCore project.

#4 This does sound strange, I haven't run into this problem. Is this with a Debug build? Does it also happen with a Release build?

#5 i got it to work after adding a player component, following the basic 3D tutorial. but right out of the box it will throw an error when trying to run it. I also ran chapter 12 code from John's book, and it was fine, the only difference was the chapter 12 code added a player, and used a T3DCameraComponent.

#6 I just downloaded the build on the server again yesterday, I am running in vista 64. Previously I thought it was because of windows 7. I found an XNA bug with windows 7 and had to revert to vista. I opened a brand new fresh file and get the no camera thing. the assembly name for T3D is Torque3D. The Assembly name for Torque Core is TorqueCore.

If I change them like I posted above, NP works great. This is a totally fresh install, new VS2008, XNA 3.0. and newly downloaded TX3D & TX2D.

Good luck man you'll figure it out!

#7 I tried that Henry suggested and it loaded just fine. Without I get lots of "Ignoring List subelement 'CameraComponent': no default type mapping, no type attribute, and list type 'GarageGames.Torque.Core.TorqueComponent' is not instantiable" for each item in the XML when it is loading levelData.txscene. I noticed that the FPS sample included had the Assembly names changed too so that explains why they work for me. I guess it is just wrong in the template.

#8 Awesome. Thanks Henry for this great solution. I don't have to use John's books project files any more for new projects.

Tilan.
