Adjusting Torque Game Engine Settings Help

TO DO THIS YOU MUST LAUNCH A DEDICATED SERVER FOR MOST TO WORK PROPERLY.

IM POSTING THIS TO SEE IF WE CANT GET SOME QUALITY MODS INSTEAD OF THE KIDDIE PLAYGROUNDS POPPING UP DUE TO THE EASE OF USE OF
POSTGRABBER, SUDDENLY EVERYONES A MODDER.

YOU CAN TYPE COMMANDS DIRECTLY INTO TERMINAL OR ADD THEM TO THE LAST LINE OF THE .mis FILE


THIS IS A EXAMPLE OF HOW IT SHOULD LOOK
};
new Boost() {
position = "-111.639 41.1961 98.084";
rotation = "0.057563 0.242387 0.968471 213.53";
scale = "1 1 1";
dataBlock = "Boost1";
lightBoost = "0";
};
};
Lighttank.accelRate = 10;
Lighttank.deccelRate = 12;
LightTank.maxSpeed = 15;
//--- OBJECT WRITE END ---

YOU CAN FIND INFO ON A OBJECTS BY USING THE DUMP COMMAND IN TERMINAL FOR EXAMPLE

LightTank.dump();

This will display settings for that object.

LAUNCHING DEDICATED SERVER MAC OSX

STEP 1. MAKE A COPY OF THINKTANKS THE ENTIRE FOLDER! NOT JUST THE ICON!

STEP 2.CLICK ON YOUR HARD DRIVE ICON, THEN THE HOME ICON AND DRAG YOUR COPY THERE, MAKE SURE THE FOLDER IS NAMED THINKTANKS!

STEP 3. OPEN TERMINAL, ITS LOCATED IN YOUR UTILITIES FOLDER WICH IS IN YOUR APPLICATIONS FOLDER.

STEP 4.IN TERMINAL TYPE:
cd ThinkTanks
AND HIT RETURN

STEP 5. THEN TYPE:
./ThinkTanks.app/Contents/MacOS/ThinkTanks\ OSX -dedicated -mission Green -Game TS

(note Green is lush Blue is spooky Red is frantic TS is team scrum S Scrum TB team Battle B Battle)

STEP 6. LAUNCH YOUR ORIGINAL THINKTANKS APPLICATION AND JOIN YOUR OWN GAME, YOU CAN KNOW ADUST SOME SETTING BY TYPING COMMANDS INTO TERMINAL, SEE ABOVE

STEP 7.DONT MAKE JUNK

Umm.. I'm sure u won't mind if I ask, what exactly is a terminal?
I don't think I'm very familiar with that term. (probably something I should already know)

oh and do u know how to aunch a dedicated server for PC?

What .mis file are you talking about? There are several.

Nathan post what you want, its better if people figure stuff out themselves.
All the basics are above. If you cant figure stuff out by the stuff above dont bother.

I'm just asking for clarification. Are you talking about a map? (i.e. Cranium Crater)
#16

Of course you're talking about a map! Duh! (Feels extremely stupid) Anyway, I tried doing it, but the level won't load. What did I do wrong?
