Issues with new content pack "Temperate Forest"
by Jeff Yaskus · in General Add-On Discussion · 10/12/2011 (11:26 am) · 9 replies
Having trouble getting the demo level to load, using a new fresh copy of T3D 1.1 final.
Here is a screen shot of everything going wrong ... no forest, ground cover and missing texture.
The error messages from console.log ;
Seems there is a missing file, which causes all the forest to not load;
That file "Raceway.forest" is not included in the download content ZIP.
Not sure if there is more issues -- just trying to get the demo working at the least.

I'm not sure how I didn't catch this one on my initial review. With that being said, the revision is up now.

We package something up and then it goes into a 'vanilla' SDK as a 'dragNdrop' test. You very quickly find out what bitmaps aren't being pathed correctly....;). FTW!!
I usually play the 'consumer', lol, and get the same event; localized files from the Artists' HDDs. That dang orange default!
