Porting from Torque to iTorque

by CharlesL · in iTorque 2D · 01/03/2012 (12:14 pm) · 4 replies

I'm having trouble porting over an old file from torque 2d to iTorque 2d.

List of things I've ported successfully:
  • Images(I had to do each image individually)
  • Scripts(sort of but the don't run)
  • Levels

Things I'm having a hard time with:
  • Scripts(to run)
  • Tilemaps

Is there a button to port it easily?

Unfortunately, there is not an easy conversion button. You are doing it the correct way.

OK, Thanks.

Sometimes you wish there was a big red button that fixes everything for you.

If you take a look at the sticky thread about upgrading iT2D 1.4.1 to 1.5 games, a lot of the techniques are similar for coming from desktop T2D to iT2D.

I have not been able to get tilemaps or particles from T2D to work in the latest iT2D, I had to remake them.

One important change to be aware of is that iT2D levels (.t2d files) have a different structure. They now separate everything into iPhone, iPhone4 and Universal categories. Open up a .t2d file created in iT2D 1.5 and you'll see the headers for these categories. To port your T2D levels across use a text editor to paste the contents into the Universal category in the new level file.
