Newbie TSE compile problems

by c-level · in Torque Game Engine Advanced · 06/14/2004 (4:57 pm) · 33 replies

Been working with TGE for about a year now, but I'm more comfortable with the scripting side and still rough with the source. But I want to take a look at TSE.

I followed the directions for downloading and compiling TSE with Vis C++ 6.0 (including downloading drivers), but I get 55 errors. I tried compiling with two different computers (one has a nVidia FX 5600). Do these errors cry out as an obvious problem to anyone? I believe it's ok to compile TSE without integrating it into TGE, right?

Any advise is appreciated. I know I'm posting a lot of errors below. I'm not posting ones that are somewhat redundant since this may be an obvious problem to an advanced coder.

Thanks

I am pointing at the 'resource.h' file to blame,
torquedemo.rc keeps conplaining that it cannot find it. Big Fatal Error

Ill try to sort it out

Now it says this,

Error 1 fatal error RC1015: cannot open include file 'mfc/afxres.h'. d:\Torque\SDK\vc7\TorqueDemo.rc 10


Looks like step 8, it must be

I finnally got the build to compile successfully,
What do I do now

Goto to the examples folder and double click TSE.exe of tse_debug.exe ;)

I cannot find TSE.exe, although I ran torque_debug and I still cant get TSE to work

I followed the entire tutorial, what can I do now

On your log it should list the files created. the TSE normal should be in the same folder as the debug version.

Where is the log?

Is this after I compile Torque Demo.rc, I cant find it at all, which compiler did you use?

I have VC6 .. it's old and needs to be updated. The compile log is output to the console of your
compiler. I.E. It should say that the exe's where created and at the end how many errors and such.

Let me know if you still need help.

I have compiled TSE succesfully. It only produced the TSE_DEBUG.exe, which is the demo. How do I use the actual SDK?

Help,
When I am in the world editor of TSE the terrain jumps up and down all the time
Is there a book on the TSE

Hi.. TSE_Debug is the full SDK just with more logging. I did notice that my last compile
only generated the debug as well. So maybe somone else could chime in.

The TSE documents are here www.garagegames.com/docs/tse/general/

Remember to start a new thread when you have a different question.

It's all in how you compile. In VC++ both 6.0 and 7.1 etc. etc. you can select to compile in debug or release mode or both. Debug mode creates the TSE_debug.exe that you are seeing, while release simply creates a TSE.exe file.

The differences are that the debug executable contains debug symbols. These are hooks that the VC++ debugger can use to step through the program and present the lines of code as they correspond to the source code files in the sdk. The release executable does not contain these symbols and so while it is still possible to debug through a release executable, you will only see disassembled assembly language statements and these will not make much sense.

Generally release executables are used when the program you are making a distributable game. Debug executables tend to run slower than release executables because of the extra symbol information and so are only really used during development of a game.

hope that helps

Yes, my debug build runs TSE with 10 fps,... while my normal build does this at vsync (75 fps for me). I wouldnt recommend debug build unless you are changing the engine's sourcecode and are having problems with it. If you're just going for the scripting part... just build it in Release.
