Community Reviews and Discussion
Customer review from Matt Cuda, Jan 24, 2008 at 00:22 GMT 
"I am always skeptical when someone wants me to make significant modifications to the engine. In this case it appears I was once again correct to be concerned.
1. First, I went throught the developers guide step by step and tried to compile. I had numerous errors.
2. Went back and copied the C++ source files directly from the animation directory to the engine. It compiled kind of. I had to take out a variable which I assume is because the source code provided by Torque Motion was from a previous verison of torque.
3. Ran the game with this new code.
4. I hit the water running and my character sank strait to the bottom. As my character began walking out of the water, it suddendly began swimming, but not in the water but at the waters ege. I also noticed that the character's legs were dangling down through the map! This is certainly no way to make a professional game.
The animations look fairly good, but if the source doesn't work, then what good is it. I sent a support request to the company and I hope that they get back to me. Anytime I have asked a question with other content packs I have not received an answer. UPDATE 1/25/2008: SOMEONE DID CONTACT ME AND THEY ARE WORKING WITH ME. I will let you know what the outcome is. Hopefully I can change my rating and pass on some useful information. Please see FINAL EDIT below.
All I can say is be careful with this pack. If you are a highly skilled c++ game programmer you should be ok, but if you are a scripter then you may have issues.
Here are some other animations that would be nice:
1. Slashing for swords/knives
2. Thrusting for swords/knives/bayonets
3. Punching
4. Kicking
5. Sitting legs folded
6. Shield blocking
FINAL EDIT (bumped the rating up a star):
Customer support did help me a great deal. Here is what I ended up doing to get it running in TGE 1.5.2
1. Copy the C++ source code from the Torque Motion folder to the equivalent files and folders in the engine folder. Remember you can't do this if you have a currently modified engine. I recommend just starting from scratch (starter.fps) to get this up and running then modifying "your engine" later.
2. Compile the engine.
3. Copy the script files from the Torque motion folder to the equivalent folder\script files in the starterFPS project. Don't forget to remove the "s" from the player.cs file. This was noted above in another post.
4. Copy all of the animations to the starter.fps/data/shapes/player folder.
5. Launch starter.fps.
I also highly recommend purchasing Torsion to debug the scripts with. I hope this gets you heading in the right direction. I didn't want to go into too much detail here since it is supposed to be a review. Once you get the starter.fps running well then start adding it into your game. Do not do the opposite. Start with the starter.fps build.
One more item: if you are expecting the character to swim after jumping into the water from an object such as a bridge then you will be dissapointed. I am sure you could tweak the code in the engine to make this possible but it does not work out of the box. Very unrealistic."
