Official Torque 3D Documentation Feedback
=========================================================================
6/16/09 Update Changed title of thread to Torque 3D Beta, instead of Official Torque 3D. When the final release ships, I want to have a clean thread for new users to be able to search through and post in. This thread will be archived.
7/17/09 Update: Tooltips work. Component Tutorials work in certain browsers. CLICK HERE for SVN Change Log.
9/31/09 Update: Posted full TOC for docs, using WIP template to hold spot for final docs to be written. CLICK HERE for SVN Change Log.

Ok.. How did you answer my question before I asked it?? Dang you are good!

Sorry for the lack of update for the past few days. I've had strep throat for four days now, but have recovered enough to come into the office. Doc updates will continue as normal.

* Reworked Home Page - CLICK HERE
* Added Torque 3D Page - CLICK HERE
* Reordered and cleaned other pages
Updated Online Documentation
- Reordered scripting section
- Added section on looping structures
- Added sample scripts
The online documentation changes should be visible in about 40 min.
Please take this time to check out the Simple scripting section of the documentation. I'd like to get feedback on how well the docs explain the topic, if the programming mechanics make sense, and if the sample scripts are useful/bug-free

Fixed.

Also some minor spelling errors in some places like using func_name in the function description but using function_name in the example.
10/09/2009 (7:56 pm)
Also the next and previous buttons in the scripting/simple section seem out of order. These links seem to expect Echo Examples to come before Creating Functionswhich it doesn't in the left menu column. Also some minor spelling errors in some places like using func_name in the function description but using function_name in the example.

Love the new page. A perfect one stop shop for where I need to go. I had a question which just occured to me...
I noticed that the docs don't contain anything about the GUI editor. I have a fairly decent command of it since I've used it in TGE 1.5.2, but that is one editor that can be pretty unintuitive at times for someone starting to use it for the first time.
Are there plans to add an overview if not more for the GUI editor?
Thanks,

@Chris - Thanks. Yes, I just signed on someone to write a three part tutorial series on the GUI editor. Based on his feedback while writing the tutorials, I will write the base docs.
