An early Christmas present!

@T Squared
It is part of the TorqueX engine, which was a ground-up rewrite in C# for XNA.

Abydos (Nov 29, 2007 at 16:31 GMT)

Awesome!

I noticed the C# 2008 express is out does it work with it or do I have to use 2005.

Tom Spilman (Nov 29, 2007 at 18:48 GMT)

Congrats Tom and Team!

Chip Lambert (Nov 29, 2007 at 18:58 GMT)

@Morrie:

You'll have to use 2005 Express right now.

2008 won't be added I'm sure until GSE will work with it (2.0 just works with Visual Studio 2005)

Here is the download link for those looking for 2k5:

Just want to add: It works so XXXXXX good, no problems at all.
and again my thanks to the dev team!

Are the keys still valid if you have TXB? I am getting InvalidKey when I try to register after opening up TXB.

Eric Fritz (Nov 30, 2007 at 00:03 GMT)

@Anton

We just tracked down the problem, and should have a fix up tomorrow. See the announcement thread for more info.

i didnt realize jamesons had wireless access.

Thomas Buscaglia (Nov 30, 2007 at 04:00 GMT)

They don't, but they gave me a to-go cup so I could get some work done.

James Brad Barnette (Nov 30, 2007 at 17:48 GMT)

hey the torque templates are not showing up in game studio express. I'm on a x64 machine would they have gotten put somewhere else?

Pesto126 (Dec 03, 2007 at 15:43 GMT)

Is it just me... or is the documentation for Torque X 3D still just the Torque X 2D? Where is the discussion on the 3D Scene Object?
