I've just downloaded TGE 1.5 and I am wondering if anyone could give me some help on how to get started. I am trying to make a 3rd person shooting game and I have already staring making textures and planning my levels. However I could do with some pointers on setting up the engine and altering the GUI's to run my new levels.

If you are using the starter.fps as the base of your fps it should show up in the list where you choose your game for example it is showing stronghold,cp demo 1 and 2 and suchwhen you start the game. make sure your *.mis file is in the starter.fps/data/missions directory. when you start it should showup in the mission window to choose from. you can go into the mis file you made and change the

new ScriptObject(MissionInfo) {
desc0 = "This is a test level";
name = "Blah";
};


change the des0 to whatever description you want
and name = to the name you want listed in the listing


just double check your file is saved with a extension of .mis

if you arent using the starter.fps as the base and want to just goto example directory load main.cs in a text editor and change $defaultGame = "starter.fps"; to read that.
