No zip version for download?
by wingman · in Torque Game Engine · 10/19/2003 (8:52 am) · 6 replies
When I first bought torque a couple of months ago, there was a .zip version of the source. That is no longer available on the sdk download page. Whats the latest stable version and is it on the cvs server? If so, is a .zip version being made available soon? Or do I need to finally go and break down and learn cvs stuffz?

You don't need to actually "learn" CVS. You just need to follow the instructions, and it works. Like Ben said, it is a very powerful tool, and worth the effort. In reality, it is very little effort. In fact, learning to use a C++ compiler is way more difficult than using CVS.
I can say this with conviction because I am not a technical person or a programmer, yet I have worked through our getting started docs on both the PC and MAC just to make sure a newbie can do it. You can do it!

Thanks guys. You're right! Just installed WinCVS, and had the latest release downloaded and compiled within 15 minutes.

The main problem is that the firewall of my company don't accept CVS connection :(
And FTP access in this case is really usefull...

Yeah, but the source can't be provided on ftp, since CVS is used to develop Torque and a cvs repository isn't a bunch of files, it's mostly revision files... So it's not quite possible to do so. The only other solution would be zipping up the stable releases... but I don't think it's worth it, download torque from somewhere else and burn it.

that is just dumb..
considering all the free resources available to programming thru it...
well there is a proxy method im sure your configuration must have a proxy capability?
talk to the head honcho anyhow ..
cvs should Not be blocked..
