Create New ImageMap - Not Working
by Michael "Doodle" Golden · in Torque Game Builder · 06/20/2009 (12:26 pm) · 5 replies
Alright, I have V 1.7.4 on Windows Vista. Presently, I have made a bunch of tile images in PNG format at 128x128. Unfortunately, I can't get ANY of these images to import into Torque Game Builder.
When I try clicking on Create New ImageMap, it brings up the browser where I find the images. Once I select the image I want, nothing happens. As soon as that is "done", the image appears nowhere, not even under Static Sprites.
Is there some other way to add my own content, or do I need to add them from a specific folder? I've presently been saving them in a folder outside of the project folder, but still seem unable to import from inside the folder anyway.
Any help on this? I'm working on a final and will be pretty dead in the water if I can't get past something THIS simple.

The only changes I made to any of the files was the advice I was given by Phillip in regards to a problem I was having with Spawnpoint Behaviors in the Platformer Code.
"Michael, have you copied the PSK exe into your project folder and run your game with that exe?" - Phillip O'Shea.
I took his advice and did that, but that's about it.

Nope. No errors. Just a whole lot of nothing.The only changes I made to any of the files was the advice I was given by Phillip in regards to a problem I was having with Spawnpoint Behaviors in the Platformer Code.

Re-Installing doesn't work either. Nor does going to the Project Drop Down and trying it through there.

I'm starting to think the only thing I could possibly do now is install the program on another computer and try it there.
Btw, might it be the fact that I've turned off some Windows Services that may be causing this problem?
Are there any in particular that I should turn on?

Compatibility Modes and trying to load images on the desktop (To avoid folder restrictions) don't work either. :/I'm starting to think the only thing I could possibly do now is install the program on another computer and try it there.

Thanks anyway. Forgive my impatience, but I'm an amateur with less than eight weeks to create an entire game for my Final.
I've got writing, animations and everything else to do now as a one man team.
Ciao~!

Ok. Forget it guys. I figured out, not what it was precisely, but that it was something ABOUT the MyGames folder, which upon deleting and remaking, fixed the "issue".Thanks anyway. Forgive my impatience, but I'm an amateur with less than eight weeks to create an entire game for my Final.
