Torsion Not Found Error

by Greg Albright · in Technical Issues · 09/24/2011 (4:06 pm) · 1 replies

Torsion launches fine when I launch it from Torque Toolbox, but it fails to launch from the Torque 3d world editor with "Torsion not found at ''. Please set the correct path in the preferences"

Where do I find the this preferences file/ menu option?

I feel I have to explain my avatar. That was the first thing I did in Sculptris that didn't explode all over the place. Version 2. ZOMG when you guys where helping me switch to max why didn't you say Mudbox? Oh wait you did and I ignored you.

    Do you have Torsion installed to the default path? I'm not able to reproduce this using 1.1 or the current state of 1.2.

    Unfortunately it looks like the torsionPath setting was never fully exposed to the editor. It's possible that back in the day it may have been thought to be extraneous after the Toolbox was created, hard saying. I'll talk to Derek about the possibility of finishing that out, no promises though.

    For now though, if you have Torsion installed in directory different from the default, you can use this console command to change the torsionPath. Just change the second parameter to match your environment.

    EditorSettings.setDefaultValue("torsionPath", "C:/Program Files/Torsion/Torsion.exe" );
