Tornado 3D : could not get it to work

[christianlucio]

Hallo,I have the following problem with Tornado 3D form the zone (EAB). I unpacked the 3 lha-archieves. and got three files .001, .002, .003. The first has a mistake and in the process of unpacking (sorry for my englisch) it reads that one file (an object) is deleted. After renaming the .002 and .003 to 001.and 002 I double-clicked on the first and really got one file with .out. But I can not get this .out file to work on the Amiga: Where is the mistake ? Looking forward for any help.

hi & welcome,

try this within the cli: join file1 file2 file3 as tornado.lha
then use lha on tornado.lha

Many thanks for your help. This was the solution ! (although I had to find out that Tornado3d does not seem to work on WINUAE).

dont give up that fast, seems working
open the information window for the tornado icon. there are many tooltypes predefined. most important is: PPC=ON -> set this to PPC=OFF.
then it will start and ask for screen mode. now some trouble with Cypergrafix.
but i guess changing the tooltypes for display mode will fix that. i'll keep trying

Edit: Set/change the following Tooltypes (within the information window):
PPC=OFF
DRIVER=AMIGA
HARDWARE3D=NONE

save changes and start tornado, it will ask for a screenmode, try "UAE 800x600 32bit BGRA". this is working here.

Thanks again; I will keep on trying

i've installed AmigaSys ( http://amigasys.extra.hu/ ), running Workbench 3.9. this package comes with RTG drivers (those UAE .... in ScreenMode Chooser). on a plain workbench install (checked workbench 2.1) there are only native PAL / NTSC. those may not work. so you need to install AmigaSYS, or get the rtg driver - picasso96 from aminet which supports winuae's "uaegfx".

Hi,now I have changed the tooltypes and also managed to get it to work under picasso (uaegfx); so now everything seems perfect. Again thanks for your help. You had 2 times the right solution !!

I know I am bumping this thread but I was wondering if anyone can help. I have unpacked the archive and have changed some of the tool types on the icon, but it hangs on Error creating gadgets. Font too high? Try a proportional font <16 points. I have tried a number of different fonts and different sizes but I get the same error. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

The other question I have would be is it worth trying to play with Tornado 3D. I have seems some reports that it is too buggy.
Thanks

you may try the archive: Tornado3D_v30a.lzx on the ftp.
overwrite all existing files in you tornado path.
there is also Tornado3D_v30a_Fix.lzx - but the archive is corrupt.

somehow I was able to make it work, but my installation is very old,
so i cannot remember exactly.

well, maybe it is buggy, but it is worth to have it working and test on your own

#1) in the link above, you will find the manual, but it's html only, for version 2.1

Thanks
Will give a try
