Loading bar... how to do it ?
by Typiolin · in Torque Game Engine · 06/15/2006 (5:47 am) · 8 replies
I like the torque Engine, but it loads slowly... it's not a problem on itself, but I would like to see something on screen at start and between levels during loadings.
I would like to know how to make a loading bar : can someone point me to the right ressource?
I haven't been able to find it on forums, despite a heavy use of the "search" feature.

You posted it twice in the TGB and the TGE forums. What is your question now about? Torque Game Engine or Torque Game Builder?
You can increase the loading time dramatically by increasing the packet size in TGE.
The loading bar is already included in TGE. The mission load dialog shows an example of how to use it. You have the source :-)

First of all, you should not double post your thread. One time posting is enough!You posted it twice in the TGB and the TGE forums. What is your question now about? Torque Game Engine or Torque Game Builder?

I didn't double post -never do it and hate when people do that-, I posted in the wrong forum, but I deleted my post in the TGE forums as soon as I saw my mistake... but the post is still there.
Sorry about that, I'll try to correct it.

My levels load in about 0.5 seconds. I'm doing a single player game and there are methods to increase the load time to next to nothing.

I'm curious... The strategies mentioned in the linked thread apparently worked quite well but had issues from time to time. Has any of that optimization been integrated into Torque 1.4 and have those problems been fixed?
