Something missing here?

by Roi Hojgaard · in Torque Game Engine · 03/12/2004 (5:40 pm) · 7 replies

Hi all!

I just bought and downloaded the Torque Engine today, and after compiling I found that I'm supposedly missing some files/directories.

For example, I can't play the starter.racing game - the racing folder is not there. And then I tried to add background music, and the tutorial (http://holodeck.st.usm.edu/vrcomputing/vrc_t/tutorials/sound/p1_background_sound.shtml) said: "edit the /example/common/client/scripts/mission.cs file"...well, I don't have folder either.

Maybe there's something still to "make"?

Any help much appreciated.

Thanks

Maybe the tutorial is old? I cant really say. But making/compiling things doesnt create script files, so I doubt thats it. I dont know about the racing though.

Could be that you just got the wrong version. What did you download from CVS? HEAD, Release 1.2.1, or the older version the CVS documentation refers to?
Try getting HEAD, that should short you out. (No pun intended).

The directory 'example' is now 'starter.fps'. So 'edit the /example/common/client/scripts/mission.cs' should probably be 'edit the /starter.fps/common/client/scripts/mission.cs' now.

I hope that helps you a little.

Actually to be technical, its both. /example/starter.fps

Roi you will need to let us know what version you downloaded from CVS. It sounds to me that you either got a real old version from before the racing demo was in, or you got a corrupted or incomplete CVS download.

Well, the online documentation said: "The HEAD revision may not compile or execute correctly and we strongly recommend you use one of the stable tags.", and a bit further down it said: " To obtain the SDK development release 1.2.0, type the following:

Release_1_2_0

".

Since that was the only reference to an existing stable version I knew of, I picked that one.

So, that is an older version? Matthew Coertze said: "Release 1.2.1". Is that the newest version, or should I go with HEAD anyway?

Thanks

Just go with HEAD, it is usually very stable :)

Ok, great, I'll do that.

Thanks
