Where's the Demo?

by Ryan Jahrman · in Torque Game Engine · 12/23/2004 (8:17 pm) · 4 replies

I downloaded the "demo" and it's just some walkthrough of what can be done with the engine. Is that all there is? Other people are saying that they can get everything except the source (e.g. the editor) from the demo . . . did I click the wrong link or something?

How can I get into the actual editor?

Included with the Torque demo are the scripts used to make it and anything abasic Torque game needs.

Also, The only thing not included is the engine source. I may be reading this wrong (it is late here!) but if by editor you mean World/Terrain/Mission/GUI/Etc. it is included. Just load up a map and hit, I think, F10 or F11 (one is GUI and one is Mission, I think).

It is the right link... And yes... It is a walkthrough... Then you can view a sample
of a game (from Realmwars)... You can start editing the scripts in the server\scrips directory. They are the *.cs files (the other files are the compiled versions of the *.cs files.

~ gets you into the console.
F-10 gets you into the gui editor
F-11 gets you into the world editors, inspectors, terrain editors, etc.

And as mentioned above, you also have full access to all of the script files, which implement a large portion of the gameplay, and are completely modifiable in the demo itself.

The official demo has the basic functionality, as others have said. There are two other sources that I found more useful, though, before I got the SDK.

This is essentially the same as what SDK owners get, but without the c++ source. Also, the FPS starter on this site is a bit handicapped compared to what you get from the SDK.

This is a full game made from Torque, and you can mod it. Only for your own use though. Anything made from Realmwars can never be distributed.
