Does anyone have the same interface the is in The Essential Guid

by Steven B · in Torque Game Engine · 11/27/2004 (9:25 am) · 8 replies

If you have the same user interface like the one with big chrome "G" and it has "Torgue Game Engine" in the title bar, just like in "The Essential Guide To Tourgue" by Ed Maurina that is a pdf doc in the Getting Started section of the GG site.

The interfrace is shown in the Introduction.pdf of that guide and is on the first page and in the first picture.

Is that the way the engine is supposed to start and how can I get mine to start that way.

I have had this game engine for about 10 days now and I am disgusted with it at this point.

Need help badly.

    The GUI can look like whatever you want it to, you have to look at the tutorials. I'm pretty sure that the version of the TGE in that PDF is an older version, as the newer ones look more like Realm Wars.

    You should probably start with the tutorials on this site first, as they are closer to the version you're using. When you have a better grasp of the concepts, you can move on to tutorials like EGTGE by Ed, which are great, but may not be completely up to date visually, even if they still apply.

    Another thing you can do is buy Ken Finney's "3D Game Programming All In One", and follow the tutorials in there, which are great.

    And, since I'm on a roll, don't forget to use the search function for these forums, since just about everything has been covered here several times over.

    That would be the starter.fps that looks like realm wars?

    Also when I press F11 my cursor draws itself over and over where ever I put the mouse, it is like drawing with the mouse in mspaint.

    If I press F2 I get nothing same as with f4,5, 6 Iget f9 iget but this is intermitent I get them only once in a while.

    I have a good hp pent III with 60gig
    GeForce420MX with the latest drivers that support DirectX and OpenGL.

    I have been trying to do the tutorials as directed but I am hindered because of these problems. I can't get through the tutorials.

    Any Ideas about these problems.

    I know this may sound dumb.. what was the last you changed when you noticed this??

    does your exe work with the demo content? ie copy your .exe to the demo' dir and see if it works..

    This started from the very beginning
    Copying the exe to the demo dir didn't work.

    Still drawing the cursor, nothing happens when pressing, f2,f3,f4,f5

    @ Steven - I'm seriously behindin responding to e-mails and in general trying to live up to the privledge of being an associate. I'm sorry to hear that you've been having a tough time of it. My suggestion, if you have not already solved your issues is to get the TGE installer and use that as your base. That kit works quite well out of the box.

    FYI, I've posted a small ammount of info on the upcoming EGTGE Volume I here. I must aplogize for the fact that the free version of the guide is out of date. I'm very busy making sure that the for sale version of this will cover the latest features and correctly.

    Well, best of luck. Stick with it. I think you'll find your time well worth the investment.
