L3dt terrains and TGE 1.4
by Gary Roberson · in Torque Game Engine · 07/25/2013 (5:18 pm) · 2 replies
First off, I apologize if I'm posting this in the wrong forum, but I couldn't find an forum for L3DT.
I've created an terrain for the Torque engines. The level loads correctly in T3D, but when I try to load the map in TGE, I get the error box stating that I don't have the correct version of TGE to connect to the server, or the art necessary.
This has happened to me before, and the only thing that I could guess could be the problem is that I have the textures in the wrong folder.
I've tried to load them directly from L3dt into the dataterrains folder, and I also tried to do it externally from L3Dt. I've also tried to to place them into the missions folder, but no such luck!
Here is a copy of the console log if anyone thinks they know of a solution!

I also seem to think that TGE started looking for terrain textures in an environment folder, TGE doesnt check out any extra folders for textures, but it does start going backwards in the tree toward the root folder if it cant find textures where its told, so as a temporary try you could move the textures up to the root og the data folder to see if that at least solves the issue, you can then copy them to their correct place and use the terrain painter to pick the files again.
I remember this being one of my lager headaches when i first started with torque, simply because the terrain painting data was inaccessible due to be stored in the binary file

I seem to recall some hard limits on terrains in TGE, 256x256 max heightmap size and i believe the max number of textures for terrains was 6 maybe 4?, might be worth checking your l3dt project for those limits.I also seem to think that TGE started looking for terrain textures in an environment folder, TGE doesnt check out any extra folders for textures, but it does start going backwards in the tree toward the root folder if it cant find textures where its told, so as a temporary try you could move the textures up to the root og the data folder to see if that at least solves the issue, you can then copy them to their correct place and use the terrain painter to pick the files again.

However I use the Torque 3D and not the TGE 1.4 but the guide should work for you too. Hence you wanna read the The walk-through guide link :o)
Best,
