View with Engine

[Ernyz]

I create level with simple box, then i put all three entities: player start, player setup and enviroment setup, then i compile the level and then level is compiled succesfully i press view with engine button and then program crashes... Does anyone know whats wrong, why RF crashes and i cant create games

[metal_head]

I asked the same question earlier it won't work i think everybody has that problem

[Ernyz]

And you still cant create games? I wonder why isnt working, my pc fits all the requirements...

[ardentcrest]

This has been posted afew times the "view with engine button" does not work as there is a bug in the program.

What you can do is compile the level and tick the "Preview in Reality Factory" box at the bottom of the compile manager and click OK.

Its working, thanks dude, you helped me a lot

[bradford789]

i just redownloaded rf the new version and i have built a few levels and every time i try to view with the engine it crashes and i have selected the "Preview in Reality Factory" box and it says "Windows cannot find 'C:\Program Files\realityfactory.exe'. Make sure you typed the name correctly, and then try again." That make no sense at all that is where the engine is installed so what is goin on with this program i go away for 6 months and every thing has gone down the tubes

And why does it keep on asking me for the default.txl file that is getting very annoying

Any help would be very much appricated thank you and have a nice day

[bradford789]

ok it has been three days and no one has respond to my problem what has happened to this community since i left

i really need some answers to my question so i can start building my games again.

Thank you to who ever respond to my problem.

[bernie]

Go to project -> Level Options and set up the directories then save the level.

[bradford789]

i have already tried that it does nothing i still can't preview my levels
everytime it say it can not find the RF.exe whichs is crazy because it's in the same spot that it's saying its not in
i have uninstalled the program three time and tried different install paths to no luck this is crazy and every time i start the program it still asks me for the location of the default.txl which is very annoying i can tell you.


any help would be great and i have posted the log files three post up

thanks bernie for responding

ok i give up on this
im going to another game engine this was my favorite engine but now it has a lot of bugs and problems that i just dont have this time to deal with and the community has all but gone away here so have a nice time with your game designs.

[bradford789]

i have gone back to the older version of the engine 075C and it works fine no crashes
i dont have to tell it every time where to find the default.txl and i can preview my levels without any problems.

until someone can tell me why the new version has so many problem im going to stick with the old one until someone can fix it

[bradford789]

Ok i got it to finally work i installed version 0.75c then i installed 0.76 on top of that and every thing works perfect so far.

And i finally can ride the moving platform with out faling of at 512 textiles thank you QuestOfDreams for finally fixing that one.
