Hi, i guees i did something wrong...

by Daniel Wexler · in Technical Issues · 01/08/2006 (2:46 pm) · 12 replies

Hi. I got the: "3D game programming ALL IN ONE" book, and it says to use ultraEdit.
I'm using TexPad4 (I'm saying that, because I'm not sure if that's the problem, I guess not).
and I did the 1st' script from the book, just a simple "hello" faction.

After that, it says to go to the command and print:

tge -ch2 HelooWorld.cs

I get an error says my pc doesn't recognize the tge command.
My question is, where is the compiler for torque, is it in the ultraEdit software?, or did I miss something ?

Thanks.

I have not read the book but the source compiles with VC6, VC7, gcc etc
I think ultraEdit is just an IDE for reading scripts. The TGE it refers to might be the compiles engine, i.e TorqueDemo.exe

Got it, so i need a compiler.
I thought that TGE is already coming with one.
Thanks.

You can use "Torque Build Environment (TBE)" which is free.

Or

You can use MS Visual Studio Express which is also free

I think i'm trying to compile the code through the command line. And i do need a compiler for that, Right?.

I'll D/L both, thanks.

Well the obvious question is.... is "TGE" the name of the torque exe? cause that's not what mines called.


mine calls itself torque_demo or something. and you'll need to CD to that directory beforce trying to call it.

NO you don't need a compiler to compile the script. At first glance I would say

Quote:tge -ch2 HelooWorld.cs

is the problem.

Btw way support for TBE is dwindling since MS released theirs for free, at least so I hear. I might be wrong.

HMG, this is becoming so tricky....
I'm a bit lost, I have no idea how to use those compilers, I thought it will be easy.
Write the script, right click, compile, done, I guess I'm very far from it.
OK, I'll ask some friends, maybe they could help.
If any of you got some time and/or willing to help me I'll be grateful (if you in Vancouver... WOW).

Um, you don't need a compiler to compile the script, TGE does that for you.

I assume you've done the following:

Typed up a script in any text editor and saved it to c:\3dgpai1\ch2
Then you cd, changed directory to wherever the tge.exe file is.
Then you typed tge -ch2 HelloWorld.cs

Ok, last thing I don't understand, ok ?
How come I need to install the thingy from the disc?, why can't I use the TGE that I already have, I mean, how come TGE doesn't have the TGE.exe file, when I'll make my own game, I will have to use different compiler than tge.exe?.
