Where to start cont.

by TJ Miller · in Torque Game Engine · 11/08/2006 (4:50 pm) · 2 replies

I really have no idea what file to open. I just download the Engine and I tried the FPS Starter Kit, Racing Starter Kit, and Demo but neither let me build any games. I don't know how to program a lot... is that going to be a problem when making a game? I just want to make a simple FPS.

C:/Torque/SDK/example/torqueDemo.exe to start a game.

Look at main.cs in the example folder to see how to start each game folder.

Setup individual game folders.

1. Make a new folder (I'll call it MyGame).
2. Copy the following folders to MyGame folder.
starter.fps folder
common folder
Creator folder
exe
main.cs
DeleteDSOs
DeletePrefs
DeleteDSOs.command
DeletePrefs.command
all the dll files

3. Open main.cs and you will see this:
//-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
// Torque Game Engine // Copyright (C) GarageGames.com, Inc.
//-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
$defaultGame = "starter.fps";
$displayHelp = false;
4. Make sure $defaultGame = " "; point to your starter.fps or one of the other starter folder.
5. If you change the name of the starter.fps folder, (which you can) you'll have to search
the cs files as some have the full path to script files, and objects. The starter.fps
folder name will have to be changed there too.

I hope this help.

There should be a file in the example folder called "Getting Started". I remember when I was at that point, the Getting Started tutorial, plus "The Game Programmer's Guide to Torque" can help a ton.
