Chapter 18 method calls

by Bil Simser · in Torque Game Engine · 07/20/2004 (2:09 pm) · 2 replies

In Chapter 18 (Pg 532, A Perfect Storm) the text makes reference to the stormCloud method. This should read stormClouds (plural) method which is what it is currently in HEAD.

Also at the top of the next page it makes reference to a stormPrecipitation method. There is no such method (that I know of or can find).

This stuff might've gotten changed in Chris' new precipitation code, but not sure. Regardless, good catch, Bil, if the book needs to be updated for future printings. Anything related to precipitation probably needs to be reviewed.

Another error on page 517, 518

The book says to name the sky box files as follows:
front, right, back, left, top, bottom

But the dml file to point to those has you type in the names:
skyfront, skyright, etc.

all the filenames shoud match between the two, just a small edit but wanted to post it up
