No config datablocks?

by Kevin James · in Torque Game Builder · 06/13/2007 (6:24 pm) · 4 replies

I haven't used TGB 1.5 yet, but I heard that there are no more config datablocks. Is this true!?

I pretty much use config datablocks whenever I can, and they really streamline some grunt work. Are they really missing in 1.5? If so, will it remain that way and why?

    I must've say that before knowing how to re-implement them in editor.
    Simply put exec(expandFileName( "^game/gameScripts/yourconfigdatablocks.cs")); at the last line in TorqueGameBuilder/tgb/main.cs
    They'll work in editor (though you'll have to reopen your map one time after tgb startup).

    Support for automatically loading project config datablocks and making them available to the editor has been added for the next release.
