Getting Started tutorial works on Windows, crashes on Mac
by Nikhil Haldar-Sinha · in Torque Game Engine · 05/10/2006 (7:27 pm) · 6 replies
I'm going through the Getting Started tutorial. It works fine on Windows XP. I try it on my MacBookPro (just OSX, no duel boot or anything fancy), and it crashes. It crashes when I click on the drop down of the gui editor, and when I enter the game. It crashes while my character is dropping from the sky onto the land. The gui editor worked fine until I started editing the scripts. Now I've removed all the script that i added, and it still does it.
It was crashing on my mac, so I sent the entire GameOne folder to my windows machine, and it worked. Then I sent it back to my Mac machine, and it still crashed.
Has anyone else encountered this problem?
Thanks.

Here's my log. It's pretty long, with lots of errors in it. I'm pretty shocked that these errors didn't occur on Windows. I think I should note that I'm using a macbook pro. Should the installer that I downloaded still work correctly? Speed isn't an issue, as I'm just starting.

Recompiling fixes the problem. Thanks.

Has anyone tried recompiling under XCode 2.3?

My problem was related to script handling and binaries.
Script handling: The Mac side seems a little more forgiving than XP.
Bins: A .ter file was really screwing things up. This may have been more of a CVS issue, though.
I've suspended getting it to work on XP for now, since I'd rather have something working decently on the Mac so I could at least get some images up for snapshots, and get some ideas from others.
