loadScene Crashing

Do the load scene tech demos also crash for you?

I believe it is foumd in the Misc folder and will contain "main" in the name

I believe I have figured it out...Have to go to town with wife, but will test when I get back...I believe the second level has to be in the same folder as the first level...The engine doesn't seem to be looking through all the scenes...Only in the same folder as the level it is changing from...This is not a problem, but I still need to test this theory...I will get back to it later today...Thanks

Hi m8 yea you are correct they need to be in the Scenes folder as when you export it collects the scene names from there and gives you the option what Scenes you want to include in the final game there could be a way to have them someplace other than here but I'm not sure

My first level is in a folder named ToT...This folder is in the scenes folder...It is found when making an .exe...So I assume if I put the level 2 scene in the same folder it will be found...I will find out and let you know...Thanks for the info....CO

If you make a new level and save it this will make the scenedata folder along with the scene file so for example

level1_SceneData (Folder)
level2_SceneData (Folder)
level1.xSkyScene
level2.xSkyScene

all this should be in the Scenes folder

so if your level is called ToT it would look like

ToT_SceneData (Folder)
ToT2_SceneData (Folder)
ToT.xSkyScene
ToT2.xSkyScene

Put the scenes in correct folder...It's a no go...Still crashes...The skyline_TechSupport file shows that it loaded the new scene, but it still crashes...There were no real errors except for the usual particle errors and missing HUD...It is just a small test scene to make sure it works...I don't understand it at all...I will keep trying...Thanks

Np m8 yea its strange as there has been no update since I done that tut so why it broke is a mystery :lol:

perhaps when they read this they could build in a level load function built into skyline it makes sense to have it part of the engine also audio as well so they can just be dropped in and work :lol:

I feel your pain I have nothing built as waiting on the update due to a depth order issue and shadows :lol:

if you had animated water and transparent glass the glass would show in front of the water :lol:

I'm sure they will be on soon tho and sort it out

Sorry to hear you are having problems with the level loading.

Thank you for being patient we will have a look at the level loading as soon as we get this update ready, its being a bit awkward with having the new render required for public testing.

The new FPS system has been designed in response to feedback from using the proto version; which is in your level. The next set of mechanics being worked on are production ready, plus way, way more expandable. Its actually nice to see Skylines mechanics being developed as all our previous tasks were based on editor feature sets (quite boring realy). We at our end are now looking for a more game ready set of objects, the only obstacle we have is time! lol

So if you are ok we will have a look at the level loading and as Tatty mentioned there may be a system we can put into place, shall have a look once we get the release out.
