FPS Tutorial not showing up?
by Andy Gilbert · in Torque 3D Professional · 11/05/2012 (3:11 am) · 10 replies
Hi, new here and im coming over from leadwerks (well mixing between the two), i really like the look and feel of torque and its packed with features which are overwhelming and whilst ive had a play i thought it might be worth me going through the FPS tutorial to get a headstart.
First issue hit is the FPS tut doesnt show in the toolbox, its in the templates folder, ive deleting and extracted twice, but no matter what i do, it doesnt show in the toolbox templates?
Just wondering if this has cropped up before?
Thanks
Andy

Hi Lukas, i have already downloaded and extracted, tried it a few times now, but it doesnt show in the toolbox, i belive im using the bundle toolbox not the new open source one.Thanks

Hmm it is not showing up you say?
Try going into allProjects.txt and adding the relative path to the tutorial, like:
Templates\FPS Tutorial\

Glad you got it working, I hope you have fun with Torque 3D and become a part of the community.
If you look for more tuts after the FPS Tutorial, I wrote a short series (halted for now but I will continue it when I get the time)
Find it here!

Still not had any luck, for some reason when creating a new project using the FPS tutorial it crashes at the very end. Then when i optn toolbox and click the newly created project based on FPS tut it crashed the toolbox everytime its clicked on.
Any ideas?
Thanks

The Toolbox that currently comes with Torque 3D does have an issue when creating a new project and there is more than one project already in the list. It will crash at the end of the project creation process. However, it appears to still correctly make the project, so you should be good to go.
You may want to start using the new, open source toolbox, called the Torque 3D Project Manager. It doesn't appear to crash like the old toolbox, and it doesn't hide itself in your tray (or require admin privileges). You may find it here: github.com/GarageGames/Torque3D-ProjectManager. There is also a compiled version of it ready for use here: github.com/GarageGames/Torque3D-ProjectManager/downloads

Truly the only important feature of the old Toolbox was the easy to use project generator, and that still remains in the new open source T3D Project Generator.

The World/Gui editors are fully accessible within the game (F10 for GUI ed, F11 for World ed). The toolbox links to the various tools were simply a collection of shortcuts. The new Project Generator has a button that will take you to the folder that contains the project where the VS project/solutions, scripts, assets, and executable can be found.Truly the only important feature of the old Toolbox was the easy to use project generator, and that still remains in the new open source T3D Project Generator.
