After the Tutorial, My Changes Won't Go Away

by Matthew Tedder · in Technical Issues · 09/17/2007 (7:53 pm) · 1 replies

After I went through the tutorial, I was excited and wanted to make something my own. But even when I delete the entire directory and every trace of Torque on my system (that I am aware of), running TorqueDemo.bin still shows the modified version--the game I made by following the tutorial. Only, when its broken now.

How can I clean my system of this complete? And, what the heck is going on with this?!

Because it's Linux, it's not reasonable to expect a normal user to have write access to the game directory.

You'll find that the compiled .dsos and a few other bits and pieces are stored in your home directory, in [iirc] .garagegames by default. Try
rm -rf ~/.garagegames

And in the future, you can run torque with the option "-nohomedir" to disable this behaviour and make it write to your game directory.
