Torque 1.5.2 Crashing

by Chris Sargent · in Torque Game Engine · 09/27/2008 (12:32 pm) · 4 replies

Now that i'm working more with 1.5.2 I'm encountering a crashing problem that I have no idea what is causing it.

My latest crash I was working in the world creator. I added the demo 4 object from the environment pack to my world. I moved it around some to get the position I wanted and then I relight the scene. Everything is fine.

I then decided I did not want it in my scene so I selected it and clicked on cut. Torque immediately crashed (it does this a lot when I cut objects out that I had placed).

I checked the console log and the last entry was the lightning pack relighting the scene. No idications of anything gone wrong.

Any ideas on where I can look?

Thanks,

You can try trace(1) before a suspect operation, or run a debug build.

I'm still fairly a beginner :) both with Torque and C++. Currently I have compiled Torque in the debug version, but not sure exactly what that does for me.

What you do is after compiling Torque in debug build just run it inside of the IDE of which the hot key is normally F5 and whenever Torque causes an exception it should drop you to the IDE and stopped at some place in the stack of where it caused the exception. Unhandled exceptions is what crashes are and by running the debug build inside of the IDE you'll get a chance to figure out why it is crashing.
