Day and Night Cycles in TGEA

While there are a few approaches to getting day and night cycles into TGEA, most depend on updating the HDR multiplier. This assumes that the user is running on pretty nice hardware. DRL is currently not compatible with anti-aliasing and as a major performance killer. This approach uses three separate dmls. It sends them through a shader and the result is an interpolated blend of them based on the elevation of the sun. This effect is cheap and gives pretty good results.

Polysoup like structures in Torque

I've been attempting to make my structures for my game more complex that just the basic BSP editing of Constructor. I'm not that knowledgeable in Constructor to do some of the things I would like, so I use the dts support constructor has to make some really nice difs. I figured a good artist (I'm definitely not) you could come up with some Two World like structures.

Have you ever needed a server side material list in TGE? Perhaps to maintain a list of base texture names for nefarious purposes muahahaha? Well if so, this resource, brought to you by esteemed TorqueSchool course developer Dave Young, is meant to perform just that activity.

TGE Multiple Material Reskinning

As a merge of //http://www.garagegames.com/index.php?sec=mg&mod=resource&page=view&qid=10957 which was for TGEA, I needed to implement this in my TGE codebase as part of a material overhaul. This resource allows for both the oldname/newname style reskinning, as well as multiple material updates in a single pack/unpack cycle. So if you have a mesh with multiple textures on it, you can reskin several of them safely and be assured that the clients will see the changes.
