Merging Game Builder into TGE

#1 Doesn't exist yet (afaik). It was done, and i have seen the video, but it was not released as a resource (atleast not one that i have seen), or put on TDN (which is kind of jumbled at the moment)

#2 I merged T2D into a build of TGE 1.3 for our project. All that was really required was to add the t2d source files. I imagine the same would be true for the latest version, except it seems to be based off of TGE 1.4.2 so there might be some conflicts with the TGE 1.4 code base.

#3 Doh! Ok... Thanks for the quick response guys!

#4 Comprehensive guide on merging T2D with TGE:

Step 1: Merge core/gui changes into TGE using your favorite merge tool
Alternate Step 1: Wait for someone else to do the above

Step 2: Copy the engine/T2D directory into TGE's engine directory

Step 3: Add the new files to the relevant project for your compiler

Step 4: Build

Step 5: Make your game

Step 6: Ship your game

Step 7: U will mak lodes of c4$h!!!!!111!!one!11!1

Step 8: Spend your new found cash on a new pair of underpants

Step 9: Wear them on your head for that eccentric game developer look

Step 10: Get committed to the loony asylum

Step 11: Break out of loony asylum and make a new game

Hope that helps.

Edit: You can skip step 1 if you dont care about using the level builder.

#5 Lol... thanks Tom. :)

#6 I'm stuck on the alternative step 1, any way to make that go faster?

#7 Pauliver,

Sure. Pay someone to do it :)

#8 I have 2 pennies and some pocket lint... anyone want to chip in? :)

#9 I have long said GarageGames needs a pledge system, i really dont need/want this but there are about 20 TSE optimizations/tutorials that i would gladly pay 20$ to see in now rather than later, and i am sure i am not alone. The original TSE bounties were the right idea, but not enough people knew about them..

#10 OK, here's a suggestion. My usual contracting rates are $50/hr. I estimate this would take me about 2 - 3 hours to ensure everything is merged correctly and working - the GUI changes between TGB and TGE1.4 are fairly hairy due to some changes to core GUI controls that means they look like ass without changing the existing TGE profiles too.

Now, I don't expect you to stump up $150, but make me a fair bounty offer and I'll do a merge this weekend. You can email me at the address in my profile if you want to discuss it privately.

#11 Tom i really appreciate your offer it is very generious of you, but as i said in my post above yours

this isn't something i really need/want, All of the things i'm interested in are TSE atlas/rendering related. and i think they are due out in a code drop after Ben gets back from Vacation

again thank you for your offer.

#12 Well that's fine :) The offer is there if anyone wants it. Just figured it might be a good way to jump start some kind of bounties system.

#13 I think a bounty system is a great idea, and if I truly wanted someone to do this for me, I think I would kick down the duckets. I am more looking for a guide for that learning experience. :)

Thanks for the offer though Tom!
