Torque 3D Beta 3+ Bug - Compiling with -compileAll

by Konrad Kiss · in Torque 3D Professional · 07/09/2009 (2:37 pm) · 7 replies

When using the Torque3D exclusive -compileAll parameter, there is a problem - it doesn't compile anything because of a badly formatted file filter.

A quick fix is to use the below code instead of the compileFiles call that is in root's main.cs:
compileFiles("/*.cs");
   compileFiles("/*.gui");
   compileFiles("/*.ts");

I'm not sure who we need to thank for this, but this is a very useful addition. So, many thanks.
Also thank you for not having to set defines in torqueConfig.h and wait for eternity to recompile just to create a compiled version of every single script and gui file - perfect for creating quick client distributions!

Maybe it should be included with the Torque Toolbox when creating a package.

@Konrad
How were you actually making use of this? I have applied your fix but launching from a shortcut with -compileAll doesn't seem to do anything at all...

As an aside, you can also precompile (to dso) from Torsion under the project menu.

Ok, it works, it just also happens to put up the splashscreen and complain about addResPath, but it works.

Fix will be in the next release, thanks Konrad.

I am calling the executable with the -compileAll param within a larger script that creates a new version / distro.

I forgot to mention that I rearranged main.cs a bit so it would be handled much like -dedicated and it quits after the compilation is done - so I never experienced the issues you had.

Thank you, James.

If you ever rebuilt T3D to generate any DSO at all, which is handled by the define in the TorqueConfig.h, yes.

I thought the DSO's built automatically, every time the exe was ran, is this something that changed over the years?
