Platinum Arts Sandbox - Free 3D Game Maker Forum

I have just downloaded SB for my Linux Mint machine. (which I have do several times in the past)

Created a bash script to execute the program. Program ran fine with no apparent errors.

But, because I executed sandbox_unix from a Terminal/Console, I noticed that SB seems to be having some problems, finding some files.

game mode is SP

Apart from the error messages, the program runs flawlessly, as usual.

Any ideas?

We have been starting to remove stuff that can't be used commercially so maybe the map was using some of those textures. Other than that I'm not sure. What version of SB?

Current version for Linux (2.8.2). Downloaded 2 days ago.

I think that is the case then, you can also check the packages folder and those locations and see if those files are there or not loading properly. Take care!

Hi Mike,

Thanks for the tip.

The files, mentioned in the errors, were 'actually' missing.

I figured that PAS and Sauerbraten, being both Cube 2 based, may share the same files... so I thought...

The Skybox files and the water2.jpg were found in Sauerbraten and copied across to PAS. The 'e8texture pack' was not so lucky.

Oh well, half the error messages have now disappeared... perhaps if I can download an earlier enough version of PAS, I may be able to find them all?

Any ideas as to why the files may have disappeared?
