Won't Start

When I try and start up a mission, nothing happens. I am Using TGE 1.5.2 so the update isn't necessary. Can anyone help me?

After I select the mission, I go down to press "Load mission", then nothing happens.

And the console.log? When you read the log file can you see anything suspicious? What about changes you may have made recently to any of the files?

And to echo what Caylo has said, "What about changes you may have made recently to any of the files?"

If nothing shows in the console.log then double check that the "Load Mission" button is linked to the correct start mission command, then make sure the start mission function is looking for the correct mission filepath.And to echo what Caylo has said, "What about changes you may have made recently to any of the files?"

Here Is the console.log. It has something to do with the gui, but I don't know how to fix it.*** LOADING MISSION: starter.rts/data/missions/frenzy.mis *** Stage 1 load *** Stage 2 load Executing starter.rts/data/missions/frenzy.mis. *** Mission loaded starter.rts/client/ui/startMissionGui.gui (146): Unable to instantiate non-conobject class RTSConnection.

stands out. RTSConnection is most definitely a conobject class. It's defined in the engine that way. Yet the error message is saying it's not.

Just to clarify, it seems like something in the engine (the C++) is whacked. Not in a TorqueScript .cs or .gui file.

Quote:starter.rts/client/ui/startMissionGui.gui (146): Unable to instantiate non-conobject class RTSConnection.That looks to me like the engine didn't compile with the RTSConnection class added to it or you're trying to use an old executable that doesn't have the engine changes.

To clarify: are you using the executable in the RTS kit package or the TGE 1.5.2 SDK executable?

You need to use the RTS Kit executable. There are a lot of C++ changes.

Thank you! I'm still new to Torque. I thought that the RTS executable debugged the engine. Sorry to cause a problem.
