[SOLVED] 3.1.5 Pro Error On Project Build "Can't Find Type For Element T2DAnimationData"

by AWannaBe · in Torque X Platformer Kit · 08/13/2010 (8:15 pm) · 5 replies

When trying to build a new default TorqueXPKit project I receive the message:

[ Can't find type for element: GarageGames.Torque.T2D.T2DAnimationData ]

Which is then followed by the message:

[ Can't load type GarageGames.Torque.T2D.T2DAnimationData ]

I receive the message once for each time the engine tries to load an element that is of that type.

I can't seem to pinpoint the actual cause however the messages do confirm that the error is occurring within the 265 line of the TorqueXmlSchemaExporter.cs file.

Any ideas on why this may be occurring or tips for areas to look into would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance!

I have confirmed this behavior only occurs with the Torque X Platformer Demo (3.1.5) Pro and Torque X Platformer Game (3.1.5) Pro project templates for XNA Game Studio 3.1.

As previously stated the error occurs on each instance of an element with a type of T2DAnimationData.

A dialog box with a similar error will be shown for each element in error, I can confirm this by looking at the myschema.txtschema file:

These elements are associated with the PlayerActorComponent.

I'm still unable to determine what is causing this. Any ideas for what to look at would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

try updating to VS2008 SP1, that helped me resolve this issue.

@Mohammad Thanks for the suggestion.

I am also running Windows 7 x64 and Visual Studio Pro 2008 SP1. I reinstalled the service pack and I'm still yielding the same results.

I'm going to try a few other things and post my results to the board when I've completed them.

Quick update, it seems that after I reinstalled the service pack for Visual Studio I had to create a new project as the previously created projects still had the error occurring.

After creating a new project the errors no longer show up.

Thanks again @Mohammad I usually forget about re-service packing Visual Studio most of the time so that was a great nudge.

Cheers!
