TSE & TGE -- interaction

by Nigel Budden · in Torque Game Engine Advanced · 06/20/2005 (8:59 pm) · 3 replies

G'day Guys, Gals and Gurus,
I was wondering if The network code between TGE and TSE is compatible to the point that I could run a standalone server on a linux box, using TGE, and have the client run on win with TSE, or would that just be silly?

Cheers

Well, to be honest it sounds kind of silly to me. But it would be intresting to find out if such a thing could be done.

However, I do beleive at some point TSE will support linux again.. though I could be wrong..

You would have to move over the new objects (water and terrain), move the materials out of being datablocks into client-side only objects (already on the TSE todo-list), and update the Interior file format on your server (fairly straight-forward).

Thanks for the replies,
I think I'll just use a windows server for now, and then mod to linux when TSE moves that way, since I'll need to build a client version for linux anyways.

Cheers
