TGB Installer problem on Mac

by Oszkar Nagy · in Torque Game Builder · 03/19/2007 (9:09 am) · 4 replies

Hi!

I would like to download th TGB demo to evaluate for a project, but I couldn't get up and running:

When I click on the Commercial TGB for Mac download link I get an empty page with File not found error on the top.

I downloaded the Indie version of TGB Demo for Mac but I couldn't install as it has the following problem:
The Installer downloads the updated TGB from from Garagegames site, but when the download is finished the app quits and nothing happens.

I tried this on 2 Macs with the same results.

Tried on Intel iMac running 10.4.9 and PPC G5 running 10.4.8.


I also would like to know if there is any way to record sound within TGB or if I could execute an external program which does this (or maybe incorporate other audio library into TGB)

Any help would be appreciated on these.

Here's a workaround [and it ain't pretty!]:

- open Terminal
- change to the bitrock directory: cd .bitrock/updates/
- there will be a file named update[some numbers].tgz
- unzip the file: unzip update[some numbers].tgz
- this will create TorqueGameBuilder_113.app
- move the app to your home directory: mv TorqueGameBuilder_113.app ~
- remove the .bitrock dir: cd ~; rm -rf .bitrock
- now from the Finder you can go to your home directory and run TorqueGameBuilder_113.app
- say 'No' when it asks about checking for updates

That worked, Andy, thanks. If anyone else temporarily needs the installer available with this, I could post it in a ZIP form to one of my servers for members to download to avoid this.

But again, this method works exactly as shown.

Thanks.
