Linux aquirers TSTPro in a bold attempt to take over the world!!
by Ron Yacketta · 03/14/2006 (4:51 am) · 10 comments
Over the weekend I was able to get TSTPro up and functional under Linux with only 1 know issue (Directory picking), which I plan on resolving with new gui to list directories in a TreeViewCtrl. Right now one can manually type in the Project Directory name and path; one small caveat: don't enter the root directory as the path, TGE's resource Manager will parse your entire HDD. This is also true for both Windows and Mac (had fun last night waiting for TSTPro to scan c:\ *snicker*)
Spent Monday evening playing with TSTPro to ensure things were working, as you can see in the screen shot I am able to load dts models, play with lighting (that's why the orc looks greenish, used a Lt cyan light). I was also able to load the crossbow from TGE-L and mount it on the orc. So far everything appears to be working, need to toss this to someone who has more experience with TSTPro to beat the heck out of it.
Well, enough rambling for now. I'll leave you with a screenshot to ooo and aah over ;)

If you would like to learn more about TGE-L, Constructor, TSTPro or need someone to-do some Linux development just drop me a line.

Yeah, this will be great! Much better than running TST Pro under Wine like I've been doing...

I see you've also got TLK working in Linux, any chance of explaining how that one was done?

I did nothing with TLK, what is used in TSTPro is seriously out of date. The code base used for TSTPro is TGE 1.2 which means the TLK is as old or older. The porting I did basicly surrounded targets.torque.mk updates as well as a few class modifications, nothing at all was done with TLK
