Sharing builds

by Andrew H · in Torque Game Builder · 07/27/2011 (5:15 pm) · 7 replies

Once I've got a playable version of a game up and running and built it, how would I get it to where I could share it with other computers? Would I have to send them the whole folder? Or is there an easier way?

In the TGB editor window, you'll want to go to File->Build Project

Fill out the details (Company name, product name, startup scene, etc). This should create a binary ready to be built.

You should be able to create a compressed folder for those files and send them to your users and such.

Oh - like, make a zipped folder? That makes sense. Thanks!

I haven't used it in a while, but I believe that just exports the project. You can then take that and run a zip app or installer on the finalized version.

@Michael

So how do I make an installer, then?

@Laura - The best thing to use is a 3rd party tech like Install Creator by ClickTeam. They are the easiest to use, but there are dozens of other alternatives out there.
