Dedicated Server Problem

Hey everyone

I'm having trouble setting up the game in dedicated server mode, which is what my game will be playing in entirely. I've just gotten to the point now in development where it's only going to be client/server. The only problem is that the game crashes after getting to a certain point near the Torque Creator initialization. I'll show you my console log.

Then it dies. Is there any way to make it so that it doesn't try and load Torque Creator if it's in dedicated mode?

Thanks!

It could basically be anything, depending on what you've changed.

Have you tried to remove the Torque Creator mod? Tried to use trace(); ?

This solved my problem, thanks. All I did was commented out the Torque Creator mod in script on the server. I wonder why, even with the if statement above it, it still loaded until I commented, but it doesn't matter because it works now.

Famous last words.
