Showtool Pro Tge 1.5 Indie

#1 It is the first thing you see on "www.garagegames.com/myAccount/" page. It should be with your other products, as a download, along with your serial.

Take care.

#2 Torque Game Engine 1.5 - INDIE License

Is all I got on my myAccount as download, is it included in the TGE download? in that case, where?

#3 Torque Game Engine 1.5 - INDIE License

Is all I got on my myAccount as download, is it included in the TGE download? in that case, where?

#4 The demo is included, the tool itself costs a little $$$, available in the GG Dev Store and I must say, its well worth the money!

#5 The thing was that I thought it was included when you bought the Indie version ( eventhough I have a student version).

Futhermore the download I got is only 72 Mb instead of 120 mb which is stated in www.garagegames.com/products/111/

The ShowToolPro is part of the Torque Game Engine 1.5 (no demo) - INDIE License, you don't need to buy it twice. :-)


@Mikael Larsson
The ShowToolPro is located at:
SDK 1.5\example\TorqueShowToolPro.exe
You need the "ignition-Key" from your "myAccount". (If it is not there, wait 2 days then ask the support ;-) )

Sadly I can't find any TorqueShowToolPro.exe in SDK 1.5\example\

#8 @Mikael Larsson

Only 72 Mb?
My "TorqueGameEngineSDK-1-5-0.exe" is 128MB big.

Ohh, sorry,

Ok, that might explain the lack of ShowTool Pro. But I think I'll send Davey an e-mail, since when I bought the licenses it was stated that ShowTool Pro was included.

I just had to check that I didn't miss anything obvious. (=

#10 It would seem incredible to have the academic license crippled, without informing us beforehand... We don't have any example\TorqueShowToolPro.exe available.

Also, could someone please explain the 72mb vs 128mb thing?

***unhappy customer***

#11 The 72mb vs 128mb thing explained, kind of, elsewhere : Thread

Was ShowToolPro.exe removed in this 50mb "optimization" ?
Is the detail1.png for starter.racing intentionally left as 0kb file (thus not working in game)?
What's the \example\show\ directory for?

Man, getting started with Torque EATS time.

#12 Showtool was a separate download for me. But I just did the upgrade. It comes with 1.5. I remember there was some issues with those who just bought the 1.5 engine itself and didn't upgrade. I'd contact one of the guys at GG and have them check into it. It still comes with 1.5. Trust me thats how I'm running it :)

#13 Davor, don't hit refresh after you post. It causes you to repost.

#14 I have it available as a separate download with an ignition key in my downloads. I did an upgrade. The content cleanup (which removed redundant content) dropped the file size significantly. It should either be available as a download or in the main \examples folder.

#15 Scott: Oops. I've removed the duplicates. TY. :)

David: OK. As Mikael wrote earlier, we only got the TGE 1.5.0 download available, no ignition key. I am sure GG are going to sort it out eventually. :)

Ohh, WE = 13 students at Malardalen University / Sweden.

#16 It's there now! Thank you GG. :)

Is the TST Pro part of the Torque Game Engine 1.5 - INDIE License, or not?

#18 Good catch. TGE product page updated.
