File transfer from TGE to TGEA

by Jeffrey S. · in General Discussion · 08/15/2008 (9:14 pm) · 3 replies

Can files such as missions, scripts, objects from TGE go to TGEA?

In other words, do you have to restart your project if you are going to TGEA from TGE?

Nope. You don't have to start over from scratch.

You can port them over quite easily. The biggest hurdles you will have is with your paths. The way tgea works with paths is specific. (IE: scriptsAndAssets/game/data/ or with tge you could just ~/data/)
Some of your objects may have to be reexported with the tgea exporter. My experience with it is I had no problems with objects.
Particles are different. (slightly)
You'll have to make a material file for your textures too.

There will also be changes that will have to be made to various scripts due to the differences between the two engines. The needed changes can be discovered easily enough by the errors they will generate.
