About to buy but I have a question about the binary version

Hi guys just a few questions if you do not mind...

With the binary version can I create pretty much any type of game via scripting?
Are there any T3D examples that are not FPS?
How many tutorials and resources are available for T3D for a registered user?

Many thanks

ps. Is the T3D splash automatically added to the start or is this manually added to agree with the license (only due to the fact that I would imagine it might get a lil annoying while developing)

Steve,
At the moment there is a RTS type tutorial, mainly just covers mouse click movement, mouse click to attack, and a god-like camera mode. This and all the current documentation can be found in the link above that says support, just hover over and click documentation, you should be able to find it from there. There isn't any seperate documentation to owners versus non-owners, or atleast that I am aware of.

The splash screen should be there automatically, as it's that way in the demo.

You can basically create any type of game. There are lots of things that can be done either script/code, some things are more efficient in code, but as long as the functionality is in the code you can access it from script. Right now the only melee resources you are going to find are code from what I've seen, but I've heard about a few people working on a script based melee system, so keep your eyes peeled for that. By the time you finish all your artwork, animations, models, interface design there will be more tutorials and resources available for script only things.
