Hey guys!

Marble Blast must hate me, because the number of problems I'm having with it, it's just insane.
Sp, what's the problem : When I want to open the TorqueConstructor, I get this error message :

"Failed to open main.cs"
And then :
"Failed to initialize game, shutting down"

What I tried :
Copy the "main.cs" from my Marble Blast Platinum App, and then replace it on the Constructor's folder. Nothing changed.
I'm sure the answer to this question is very simple, but I've never been good in those kind of things, and i'd like some help.

Thanks guys, Lichie :)

That's definitely not going to work. You should try redownloading constructor from GarageGames and replacing your main.cs with the one from there.

Where do you have the Constructor application (the thing with the torque symbol)? It needs to be in the same folder as main.cs.
This signature is real code
Code:
function clientcmd12dothepq() { commandToClient(LocalClientConnection, '34onthedancefloor'); }

As I vaguely recall, receiving a message like that is usually because the engine cannot locate the main.cs script file. It is the exact same dialog as generated in MarbleBlast Gold, using the same ancient Carbon API.

The main.cs files are not equivalent. Make sure you use Constructor's version, and check to see that you haven't moved the main.cs file to the wrong location.

So What I did is simply redownload the constructor, so now there's a fresh new copy of the folder with the right "main.cs" (@Higuy : the main.cs is in the same folder as the constructor app).

But still, the same error message.

Since it's been more than a week I'm waiting, I think I can bump this post without getting in trouble because I double posted.

I don't know what your issue is at this point. :C Sorry!

A few things...
You downloaded the Constructor version you are using now. Have you applied the patches for 1.0.4? The GarageGames download is unpatched. (As I recall...)
Do you have a GarageGames account? Make sure that you didn't download the application from elsewhere. You need a (free) key from GG in order to run Constructor. I assume you know this?
Have you ever managed to successfully run Constructor?

If you need that patch, I know I have the files around here somewhere...

For the GG things, everything is in order.
I've never got the Constructor to run successfully before.
For the 1.0.4 patch, someone gave me a link but this one didn't work, so I stayed with the 10.3 version.
If you have the patch on your computer, it would be nice if you could send it to me!

Thanks! :)
