Does the Torque Engine come with a CD??

#1 The version that was just released (1.3) is the last version that will use CVS as the download method. The next version will have a self-installer (although Torque is not really a program, just a collection of source code). Torque is not (normally) available on CD. I'm not sure about your error message but I'm sure someone else will chime in.

#2 Thanks in my case I may need the CD because I am having such a different problem. I did notice a Torque exe, but Windows did not recognize it.


Thanks for chipping in .

#3 @Sharpshpere:

You really seem to be having problems. Please just start at aquare one. Make no assumptions. Start with the Getting Started email that we sent you when you bought TGE. Do not skip a step. This stuff works. Thousands of people are using it.

#4 Is it ok to edit Torque, everything went ok until I began changing the backgrounds, I saved my file after editing and that may have been a mistake. I follwed the procedures step by step and it worked, until I edited. Should there be things not to do?

Please tell me Is there a CD available for purchase?

#6 Wait. Are you editing the source that you downloaded or the demo? I just noticed that you're a SDK owner. Before I was thinking it was because something went wonky with the demo install on your computer.

If you have a clean source area, BACK IT UP before you make any changes. I don't know how many times I've broken core functionality by tweaking and playing to understand it better...but I always have my source area backed up.

Having a CD won't help you much as it will just get scratched and give you a read error. If you really want a CD, you could take the clean source directory and burn it to CD. That way, hard drive crashes/acts of God won't mess you up too badly.

#7 There is not a CD available yet. It would not help you.

#8 OMG! Thanks very much I think I can get the CD that way, thanks and in that case I really don't need a CD, but I think I will have to restore my computer because for some reason the demo will not install anymore
it was the demo that I played with and saved it.

#9 Have you tried to run "C:\Program Files\Torque Demo\uninst-td.exe"

That should be the same path that Add/Remove programs used.

I doubt that your registry is the issue, and giving you where to find it in the Add/Remove section of the registry could cause more harm than good anyway.

Still, I think that getting the source, compiling it, and playing with it that way would be the best solution. Then you don't have to worry about installer errors.

#10 The problem is compiling it then ...ok I will try but the Torque demo would not oepn any longer but i will try again and reinstall and try to compile. Thanks for all of your help.

#11 I am happy to report that I have downloaded Torque Demo with no problems thank you all for assisting me!

David thanks for the Acts Of God link, it made the whole situation funny and I could actually laugh at my problem. :-)
