Follow this. I'm sure it will help you. However, it uses the free VS 2005 Express Edition, available from www.microsoft.com.

I recommend updating to TGE 1.4.
Click My Account -> Torque Game Engine SDK "Indie" License - Download -> SDK Installer.

I have no idea if it works, try searching using the Search box, or use the solutions that came with the 1.2 release. ;)

By the sounds of it (and the lack of "Torque SDK Owner" in his notes) he's using an illegal copy of torque.

Try buying the engine then coming back for help.

yes i do !
but i can't buy the licensed version because in my country copyright law does not execute.
we should use cracked software although we realy don't like that.
my engine is illegal and i bought this version in my country and there is no legal version of it.


however i know that , rules is rules !
i asked my question in wrong place .
my friends , thanks again and i hope someday our goverment accept this law and we able to use the legal software .

pardon me for poor english.

A country that does not subscribe to international copyright laws does not mean you are not allowed to purchase a legitimate license, only that it is not against the law to do so there.

Admittedly, I cannot comment on the price point for you, but your country is not required to change its laws so that you can buy a legitimate license of Torque.

What country do you live in that your government will sell you someone else's intellectual property? I know there are countries in which it is not illegal to pirate software (though the point of piracy is to pay less for a piece of software, not more), but I'm not aware of any government that is the one actually performing the piracy themselves.

Seriously, dude... if you already paid $10,000 for the software, just plug your credit card into the web form, charge another $100 (which should be absolutely nothing for you if you already dropped $10k) on it, and then you'll have all the access you need.

Mostafa,

Individuals from Iran are allowed under international regulations to purchase game-making technology through the internet using their own personal credit cards, if they are in the process of making games for themselves or for individual distribution. If you work for the government or work for universities involved in high tech research programs, then you will not be allowed to purchase Torque technologies, (due to the level of encryption within the networking libraries). I just received this response from the Iranian consulate here in the US.

If you have purchased Torque from some other party, if you can contact me, we can get to the bottom of the situation.

If you have any other questions, please feel free to contact me directly at benjaminb@garagegames.com

PS - by the way, turns out that there are several Iranian game development studios that are converting over to Torque technologies. So you will be in good company if you choose to license the technology.
