The beta

Okay just found out in this thread i made:
http://www.garagegames.com/mg/forums/result.thread.php?qt=39813

that the beta is out, I am downloading it now and quite excited to dig in (perhaps the cool new demos there too?) in either case, I have one issue. I finally got it compiling with vc studio express...and not onl ythat but i got the engine working with my xbox360 controller. But I am afraid, does the beta support that controller out of the box? (provided you have the xbox360 pc driverfs installed of course). (Note: i dont think i was using anything xbox360 specific, i guess i should say i got it working with the gamepad)

i wish i remembered what all i did :( i know getting it working to compile in visiual C++ express was a huge pain in the rump)

any heads up before i dive in?

Actually it just downloaded, i got my alpha 1-1 project working in the beta, had to change the .bat file and some other simple stuff (doesnt recognize my gamepad that im trying to activate though). I had use the camera stuff from the platformer tutorial in my little demo, and that seems to of stopped working, still investigating, to the docs i go .

Glad you got it the project working, Adam Larson is actually using VC8 express and keeps that project file up to date :)

Did you read this resource on TDN to get it working? It is for TGE/TSE, but should work with T2D as well. I haven't tried it yeat as my controller is "on its way" and I haven't been able to justify paying for a 360 console yet.

Ya I read that, and there just seems to be a lot more to it than what was in that. had to make engine code changes and recompile that, hence why i had to get it working with VC express etc..
