TORQUE CD delivery?

#1 I'm confused. I bought it and ordered a CD (it came in less than a week). But that was a while back and if I try to add it into my shopping cart, it won't add it (since I already own it and you can only have one copy).

I'll have to logout and try it.

Okay, I'm back. Yep, looks like only a downloadable listed. I had paid extra (to cover postage/handling) and got a CD mailed to me. Maybe that shows up after you buy it - can someone confirm?

If not, ping one of the GG folks to see if they still offer the CD.

#2 We no longer sell it on CD.

#3 Thanx for the reply. How big is the initial download and how easy
is it via CVS. Never did it before?

#4 Using CVS is sometimes confusing for beginners, but we have changed the documentation in the last couple of days. If you follow the instructions, you should have no problem. Using CVS is a very good thing for getting future updates to the engine, and it is something you should do to further you development career.

However, if you can't get the hang of CVS, we now have a .zip download option as well.

The size of the download is less than 20 Meg.

#5 20 MB?! Ok, with this size I will consider purchasing it. I'm on dialup and was afraid it would be >100mb. This size I wouldn't have purchased. Let me see whta my household says.

#6 Hi Michael,

When I first downloaded Torque I had absolutely no experience using CVS. I download WinCVS and then just followed these instructions. It was very easy and by following the instruction I didn't really need to learn all th e ins and outs of CVS to get Torque onto my machine and start working. I'm on a dialup line too.

#7 And don't forget if you run into a problem using CVS, the community is always willing to help you figure it out :)

#8 @Jeff,

20MB for the entier source tree? if so WOW much be getting a seriously excelent compression ratio. Last time I checked the source tree with a fulle example dir (rw, racing and fps) rung in at nearly 165MB

#9 Ron: Torque's source is a little over 4MB zipped up at normal compression and the fps mod zipped up with game exe and dlls is only around 7MB. So about 12MB in my case. I don't use the racing mod and some other things that the CVS has, so mine isn't that big.

:)

#10 it is only really big if you compress it after doing a compile, especially a debug compile

#11 DOH!
well my ignorance has showen up again ;) I forgot that I had compiled the latest head the other night *sigh*

Sorry about that guys (and Jeff)

-Ron

#12 Thank you guys (and girls) for all the comments. I will purchase it in 5 minutes. A racing mod?????? Really????? Must have that :-)
