No main.cs

#1 The main.cs file should be located in the /example directory, when you compiled torque a debug version of the executable should have been placed into the same directory. If not, that is where it needs to be.

#2 There is a main.cs in the /example folder, however, what excatly do I compile to get the GUI program of Torque then?

#3 Main.cs is as far as I'm concerened just TorqueScript and not C++. don't quote me on that one though :P

#4 Well, how would I go abouts compiling the source code, so that I can actualy get in to the GUI Torque Game Program?

#5 Do you mean when you execute the torque binary it asks for main.cs or when compiling the exe, the second shouldn't happen, I am confused on what step you are stuck on.

After compiling torque with VC++, torqueDemo_DEBUG.exe should be created in the /example directory. When you run this exe it will look for the main script file to get everything started (main.cs).

Please explain more clearly your steps and how far you have gotten, have you managed to get a successful compile in VC++?

If you have torqueDemo_DEBUG.exe and main.cs in the example folder, you should be ready to just execute the binary and it should load up the demo.

Edit: You replied while I was typing my response, try www.garagegames.com/docs/torque.sdk/gstarted/compilers.win32.vc6.html

#6 You DONT have to compile main.cs. just compile the project...

#7 Which project file should I use?

#8 Whatever you use. if you use VS 6.0, go to the proper folder in torque (EX: C:\Torque\vc6\torque sdk)

if you use eclipse or anything else, you need to consult others that use those...

#9 I'v successfully compiled the project in \vc6. Although, when 'I execute it, it says "Failed to open main.cs.", then is says "Failed to initialize game, shutting down", And closes the program.

Sorry to be such a bother, but I just can't get it to work. Perhaps I didn't receive all the files when I downloaded. Becasue I'm missing the \vc6\torque sdk\ folder.

#10 No! sorry, for not being as specific, but torque sdk is not a folder name, but the name of the file to open

#11 Perhaps an Instant message conversation would do me more benifit?

#12 Oops! I belive its going to work this time. I'll post again with the result. Thanks Cameron!

#13 Oh, this time, it says there is an error with my graphics card's OpenGL, I have an nVidia, should I get the latest support for it?

#14 I have a "very" low ensd card, so I would not know. Plz specify what the cards name is, and i could possibly find it for you

#15 Its a NVIDIA GeForce2 MX/MX 400.

#16 D/l this the latest forceware, it might help :) Assuming that you have windows 200/xp.

it says that it has updated opengl stuff. also, please post your console.log if you will.

EDIT: Stupid me :)

#17 Where would that log be?

#18 In C:\Torque\Examples\console.log

this is if you have already tried to execute torque.

#19 I'v croped out some things that seemed un-important.
