Strange Happening

I was just setting up a level in 7.70 and built it. I had a model with T7 Biped player attached as behavior and a terrain. When I run it in wed, I can't move around the level. However, if I start the compiled level from windows explorer. It runs perfect. Any thoughts?

Maybe your level in WED has no script attached.

Script is attached. I've been using 3DGS since A4 and know that's necessary. Also, I did the same tutorial exercise with this in 7.6x with no problems. That's what makes me think there is something strange going on here with 7.70. Just grasping at straws I guess. By the way, I have a duo core (Gateway FX) with 9800GT card with latest updates in case anyone was wondering so I know it's not the machine.

7.73 no problems here.

Qudraxas, did you use the blank project template and try the tutorial? That's where I started. I did nothing more than add a terrain, skybox and a model. I can see the model and terrain etc, but cannot get the model to move. Just really strange. I also have a problem with the views. The items already in disappear when I click in or lose their textures only to return when unclicked. btw: I have turned off aero and yes I'm working in vista (but that really wasn't a problem before) also it's a 64 bit machine (don't think that should matter).

When you say it works when started externally, but does not work when started in WED, can you post both acklogs? Maybe the command line options are different.

i didnt followed any tutorial, used blank t7 project added a terrain a model, attached t7_biped_player, compiled level, and ran it. it worked.

JCL,
Been gone for a couple of days. I can do that (post the acklogs) but may not be able to until the weekend. Really busy this week. Thanks.

Quadraxsas,
Did you try adding a skybox? ANy problems?

This is with blank project wizard, add terrain, add model and build. I can see there is a camera problem. But why?

We'll look into this, but just a question. The strange thing was that you told that your compiled version works differently and you can move the player there. Can you also post an acklog of the compiled version?

Sure. But I still can't move the player. Just the camera. How do I do an acklog of that? The file just kicks into the game when I double click it. It's labeled as wmb compiled level.

No, a compiled game is an executable. It has the extension EXE. You're probably confusing this with a map. You can move in a map with the mouse and cursor keys, and of course the player won't move.

A possible reason why you can't move the player in your game is that you placed him too low, so it is stuck in the ground. Another possibility: the move force under "behavior" is set too low, try setting it higher.

Such problems are not visible in an acklog. Aside from that, the acklog looks fine - the camera warnings are harmless. I'm getting precisely the same log when I create a blank level, so it should also work for you. Try placing the player a little higher, and maybe adjust its behavior values.
