Full Networking Addon?

by Andre Lind · in Torque Game Builder · 09/22/2006 (1:13 am) · 1 replies

Is there someway to get hold of the networking parts needed from TGE without actually aquiring TGE?
I don't want to buy TGE just so I can copy these few(?) lines of code

What if GG could supply a "Full Networking" addon for TGB with just this code and perhaps some documentation (or just update the one on TDN)?
One would of course need the SourceCode to get the pack, but it would still be a sweet deal
I would gladly pay 25-50$ for this, if GG isn't going to add it to TGB in the near future anyway...

Well, there are some caveats with the code which would go a little beyond classifying it as a "full networking add-on". One is that you have to have a good understanding of a number of networking related concepts which are not simple or trivial. The code is a very good hack, but to get it to a state where GG could support it out of the box with documentation would take some time and money on their end. And right now, Tom's up to his eyeballs in Constructor code and other projects.

I like pointing people to that resource because I think he did a great job of putting it together. I, however, sometimes hate pointing people to that resource because they expect it to be the answer to all of their problems with next to no networking knowledge necessary (or coding knoweldge for that matter).
