Torque 2D Network Capabilties

by Chris Leyton · in Torque Game Engine · 04/07/2005 (4:00 am) · 6 replies

I'm a license holder of the Torque SDK and interested in the 2D engine; does anybody know whether this shares the network components of the Torque SDK???

Many thanks,

It is a near complete copy of TGE and does have all the associated networking capabilities but things like the T2D sprites do have to made network aware; work that is scheduled to be done.

Melv is still working on this, but his latest plan outlines some really cool T2D stuff:

I think he mentions the network support is still being tooled with and really won't be in there until T2D is merged fully with the new TGE 1.4 edition...

I imagine Melv and Josh are waiting till they have a very solid implementation before releasing full ghosting networking.

Meanwhile what's already in there (vis a vis commandToClient and Server) is plenty for doing networking equivalent to nearly every 2d game out there, and better than most.
