Torque Tutorial Guide

#21 Same here Devon. I'd be up for working on a cut-scene builder system.

Just wondering what the status of the document is? I know there's always the edit-change-edit cycle, but is it at least 70, 80 or 90% there? Enough to get value from now?

It's all well to have a complete document but valuable to the SDK owners to have something, even if it is a work in progress or draft.

#22 Thanks guys your help would be much appreciated. I'll get cracking on some specs and designs and then i'll pass it out for feedback before starting the actual development phase.


Bil: I'd say probably 80% there unless there are drastic changes that need to be made.

#23 80% is good:) Ive been waiting for this doc, I know it will be of value to everyone.......keep up the good work:D

#24 I also wanted to do some cinematic editor for Torque and started to collect some ideas some time ago... ;) (inspired by UNREAL Matinee):

#25 Thanks Stefan that matinee is just what I needed. I'll get cracking on the specs next week end.

#26 Ok guys i just created a thread regarding the cutscene maker. Please feel free to add your own ideas there.

#27 Ok so for some good news. Initially I had planned to sell the guide and make some dosh. However, after getting so much feedback and seeing how much people really need this guide, I have decided to release it to the public at no charge. Yep that's right ladies and gentlement FREE. I've just been waiting for the ok from GG before telling you this.
It should be up REALLL SOON!

#28 Hey D... just tell me how much you were planning on selling it for, and I'll send you a donation.

It's worth it that much to me... and I have an idea how much it effort it takes to compile and put all this stuff into a presentable fashion.

#29 No payment necessary, just contribute something to the community.

#30 Very nice mentality, good points for your karma Devon ;)
A fat place is rented for you in our *respect!* end scroll :o)

#31 You are the BEST Devon!

by the way I think the same as Michael Hense.

#32 You guys should check your email inboxes of the addresses you left in your profiles.

#33 Why did I get that last post 13 times?! :O
EDIT: and besides that my inbox was empty... :'-/
Any chance to send me that thingy, too? :)

#34 Devon i like that you did gave me a copy of the newbie guide for "beta" testing but i cant seem to open it up becuase the format is "file". i am using windows 2000 so what program do i need to read the file or am i just doing something stupid???

#35 ... Ryan, you should actually take the time to *read* the email Devon sent... :P
he says you should REPLY to his email if you really want that guide for beta testing and THEN he will send it... the file that is attached is some ICQ signature or something... (if you already did reply, forget this post :P)

#36 I am eager to see this doc! I am hoping to write about using Poser and Vista Pro to create models and scenery.

#37 Im definitely interested in beta testing. I cant wait!

#38 Same here. I just sent a email to you Devon;D

#39 Im definitely interesting in beta testing as well. Please oh please let me get my grubby hands on this !! I sent an email.

Thx,
dan

#40 Is there any documentation existing for how to package TGE created stuff into commercial quality stuff??

It sounds vague, but all the documentation I've seen pertains to using scripts to mod the current engine. How do I package these up into a tiny little bundle for product sale?

I'm scanning the documentation as much as possible, so if I've missed this section, I apologize in advance for not RTFM..

thanks!
