This seems to always be a problem with people new to Torque. Is there a way to make this blatantly clear to people?

I was just hoping someone had an idea of getting newbies attention on this problem so they don't get flamed to RTFM.
Just a thought.

I know it was obvious for me when I was just getting started. I have the "problem" of reading everything I can find before asking a question.I was just hoping someone had an idea of getting newbies attention on this problem so they don't get flamed to RTFM.

when I first got it.
I browsed into the vc6 folder.
seen the reg key and the title of it.
and opened it and read it.
and executed it.

At this case maybe yes but not at all, i did like you "Badguy", but in execution blocked by a missed argument "-fullscreen" for a day!.

I cringe everytime I see someone new ask a question that hassbeen asked and answered a thousand times. I really wish people would use that handy function in the top right of their browser.
02/18/2004 (6:03 pm)
I agree mgm. I am greatful for the forums and the questions & answers. I really only try to ask questions I'm 99.9% sure have not been asked or have not been answered clearly.I cringe everytime I see someone new ask a question that hassbeen asked and answered a thousand times.

It would be more handy if people used more descriptive thread names so that a search will find what people are looking for. That or enable full body searching (I think I heard it was comming...).
#13
It makes searching past threads easier. Also, by giving people a first hand idea on what to expect, more people will respond to the thread.

I agree with Dylan. When I start a thread, I always make sure the thread title will describe the content/problem. :)It makes searching past threads easier. Also, by giving people a first hand idea on what to expect, more people will respond to the thread.

Speaking of searching, I tried to make it as easy for everyone as possible, and yet almost no one cares. I guess people just prefer to do things the hard way whenever possible.www.garagegames.com/mg/forums/result.thread.php?qt=16093

So if somthing could be known just in hours with a qustion and asnwer, i dont think it would be necessary to kick my ass to try and read all the papers by days that may not be useful at the end i find... anyway using the people experiments is a great idea i think.

And another important benefit of searching the forums is while you are looking for one thing you typically will stumble across other things you hadn't even considered. I have found this to be true in my case hundreds of times.
Learning is not just a matter of getting answers, true learning is "Learning how to learn"

You'll learn far more by reading in most cases, and anyone could give you bad advice at any time, then you would be pissed that you had done what they said but it hadn't worked. When you follow forum threads and resources you get to see all points of view, the correct ones, and the incorrect ones. And usually a resource or thread will terminate at the correct solutions. Also there are times when there is more than one way to solve a particular problem.And another important benefit of searching the forums is while you are looking for one thing you typically will stumble across other things you hadn't even considered.

Its the difference between learning math and finding out from the guy next door that the funny symbol '2 + 2' equals something that looks like '4' or maybe he said '5'
Even if you don't agree with him, you shouldn't make a post your first reaction. You can get a bad rep quickly. Have people pass right over your questions because they see you posted it and its probally something simple you didn't bother to look up.

I couldn't agree with Kenneth more!!! (Yes I believe it deserved three bangs!)Its the difference between learning math and finding out from the guy next door that the funny symbol '2 + 2' equals something that looks like '4' or maybe he said '5'

With an attitude like that, I'm sure you'll get all the help you deserve.

In your case, however, you asked a question that was clearly covered by the "intro" page. At the VERY least, you should have read the 3 or 4 webpages of introduction that GG sent in your email when you bought Torque. It clearly stated how to use CVS, how to compile, etc. If you hope to use Torque at all, you'll be expected to read some intro docs.
If after reading the few "getting started" docs you're still having troubles, then ask away. But don't be surprised if you find people not wanting to help you after you've asked a third question that was covered by the getting started guide.

I think you miss the point, mgm. In some situations it makes sense to ask a question and want a quick, easy response so you don't waste time.In your case, however, you asked a question that was clearly covered by the "intro" page.
