Tutorial.base

Hello,
I purchased & downloaded the Torque SDK yesterday and installed it, and I've been looking around the different examples that were included. I compiled the Torque SDK as instructed, yet I cannot for the life of me find where to switch directories to the different starter.* and the tutorial.base.
So, I copied the starter.fps to just an 'fps' directory and deleted everything in it, and have been replacing it with the other two folders. A problem occurs when I put in the "tutorial.base" folder. On loading, it gives me an assert error "Error, div by zero attempted" in torque\engine\math\mpoint.h.. is this somehow a result of the cut&pasting or is this a known bug with the tutorial.base ?

from:
$defaultGame = "starter.fps";
to:
$defaultGame = "fps"; //whatever the name of your folder is
If you are looking for a temporary solution that allows changing directories all the time, Brinks solution is better.
While we are on this topic, is there a document somewhere that defines the bare-bones script files required to do specific tasks? It seems the script files are mix-matched... ie I couldn't simply remove networking scripts through a single file.
What I want to do is start with a world that is so minimal that it doesn't have a loader, menu and not even player controls. It just spawns a world, a character, and focuses the camera on that player.

Or to make it more permanent, like for a release, find the main.cs file in the same dir as your EXE and change the first line:from:
$defaultGame = "starter.fps";
to:
$defaultGame = "fps"; //whatever the name of your folder is

Textures are being scaled proorly. too big of a texture on to small of an obect is what causes it for me.

Other than that, I would say dive into Ken's book. It takes you by hand through this sort of thing. Very nice book!

My Tic Tac Toe tutorial might be of some assistance.Other than that, I would say dive into Ken's book. It takes you by hand through this sort of thing. Very nice book!

C:\torque\example\torque_demo.exe -game *gamename*
replace *gamename* with the name of the directory, for example starter.fps, like this:
C:\torque\example\torque_demo.exe -game starter.fps
