Playing the game I've created

[Agentarrow]

Once I create my game, the engine won't allow me to play it, if I use the quickviewer, the engine crashes, if I use the compiler, I get as far as choosing my character,then it has an error and closes.
I really wanna play my game!

[AndyCR]

Welcome to the forums! Please post the contents of (rf folder)/realityfactory.log.

[scott]

the quick viewer dont work, and as andy mentiond the log will tell us why it crashes

[Ryan]

possibly you dont have player start / setup entitys in your level???

[Agentarrow]

Actually, I have Playersetup and Playerstart, I have all the info I was told I needed to run the program, however it still doesn't work, it may have been who I was taking the info from, but having virgil.act in the scriptname is right, isn't it? (I have other things in it as well, if you want more details just ask)

[Agentarrow]

here, look at this and tell me what I need to do.

Face with no normal!

[paradoxnj]

That is the BSP compile log. Andy is asking you for the Realityfactory.log file that is in the folder with your RealityFactory.exe.

[Agentarrow]

I checked the folder, it only had
TOOLS CHANGELOG.RTF REALITYFACTORY.EXE REALITYFACTORY LICENCE AGREEMENT
please tell me if there is something in one of these files that will help me.

[Jay]

If these are all files in the folder and there are no other files in the folder, then reinstall rf. There seem to be some files missing.

[Agentarrow]

Well... I found three new files in another folder that somehow got into my recycle bin when I was cleaning my desktop.
REALITYFACTORE 075.ZIP REALITYFACTORY 0075.ZIP FONTS (the fonts has a bunch of fonts supposedly compatible with RF, but none of them work.
I also found some files concerning GEEdit 1.0, if these will be of use, i'll take them out of thr recycle bin.

[scott]

right then, the files that should be in there are...
folders:
docs
icons
install
media
scripts
source
tools

Files:
attributes.txt
changelog.rtf
D3D7xDrv.dll
d3d24.ini
D3DCache.Log

if any of these are missing re install realityfactory, you might of only downloaded the patch, get Reality Factory 0.75A and install it, then download Reality Factory 0.75c and install that in the same place as 0.75A version

[Agentarrow]

after spending all of yesterday on windows explorer, I rounded up all the files that should bb there in their respective folders.
I've copy/pasted REALITYFACTORY.log for you

*ERROR* CGenesisEngine::BeginFrame failed

[AndyCR]

the same thing happens to me. it goes perfect in the log until the last line and i have no idea what is wron I didn't tamper with the scripts at all. It worked just last week.
(...)
*ERROR* CGenesisEngine::BeginFrame failed

that error is almost always caused by a non-power of two texture (a texture which one or both sides is not 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 64, 128, 256, 512, 1024, 2048, etc).

As for the original poster's error, it seems strange. That is the right log. What are you pressing to launch the game? The compile button?

[scott]

i have found out, for some reason under 16x16pixle dont work, so thats 8x8 4x4 or 2x2, it could of changed since the version i tested this with but i know it didnt used to work.
