No Visual Studio C# 2005 Torque Game Projects

by Charles Speer · in Torque X 2D · 02/20/2008 (5:45 pm) · 4 replies

I installed the Demo trial of Torque X (2D) and it installed perfectly. I was able to see the Tank and Airplane games when I chose to make a new project. Just recently I decieded to purchase the full source for Torque X, so I uninstalled the Demo and downloaded the purchased version. After installing, I opened up Visual Studio and found that the game projects did not show up. So I checked out the installed folder to find four Demo projects. I tried opening the solution files, but they wouldn't open. My Visual Studio Express C# version number is 8.0.50727.867 and I have Vista OS. I also have the XNA Game Studio Express 1.0 installed as well.

Does anyone else have this problem or better yet, someone who may know why I'm having this problem? Thanks for reading :)

Strange. Did you have VS or a solution open when you installed it?

It's a possibility that I did. I thought I was careful about closing it during that process. I'll try re-installing Torque X once again tonight to see what happens. I tried to uninstall it last night, but Vista kept complaining that I wasn't logged on as an admin when I actually was. Good ol' vista...

I'll update the this post later tonight on whether the re-installation was successful. Thanks for the reply.

It sounds like you first downloaded and installed Torque X 1.0 demo, then later installed Torque X 1.5 - As I recall, version 1.0 provided some sample games as 'templates', such as SplitScreen, SpaceShooter, and TorqueCombat. I think they were pulled from version 1.5 due to incompatibility... but StarterGame2D and StarterGame3D should be there... if not, please write back... in fact they should have "Pro" written at the end of it. But, that's why the 'game projects' disappeared on you. But, the demo folder games should work just fine. Make sure to install the Visual Studio Express Service Pack 1. www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyId=7B0B0339-613A-46E6-AB4D-080D4D.... Another small detail is that Torque X 1.5 targets Windows XP - so, you might be having issues with Vista. I know it works with Vista, but you need to check your UAL settings and accept everything. Good Luck!

Thanks John for the explaination of why the sample games were pulled. I confirmed that StarterGame2D and StarterGame3D are there and they do work. The Demos in the demo folder would not open when I double clicked on them. However, they did work when I opened them using File->Open instead. Thanks for the help everyone!
