Im new please help

#1 I never picked up a book, ever ,for "programing" , i call it dev-ing.

If i were you i would start with modding either realmwars if you like team games
www.garagegames.com/mg/projects/realmwars/

or NoESCape single player examples (formerly sp_starter kit)

cleverace.home.comcast.net

then if you like it start buying stuff

#2 Thanks i do have a couple of C and C++ books but just didnt know which way to head

thanks

btw how do i mod without buying the engine i thought it was obligitory

#3 You can use script , you only need to buy torque if you need to see/change the engine code.

Realm wars and single player both have the script sdk included with the demos.

I would start by copying the example folder from the download and renameing it, the main.cs in the example folder tells the exe what game/folder to run, on one of the first lines.

Once ingame f10 will open up the gui editor, and f11 will open up the world editor.

get a text editor and do searches for key words for what you want to modify,i use www.textpad.com.

Just remember torque is probably the biggest engine (codewise) out there, so its a lot to take in at first, and you will need to learn the script somewhat be fore you can do anything, and is why i say download the demos and try them first.

The folks at this forum love to help so ask questions :)

#4 Thanks you have really helped
