RTS Kit: Code modifications?
by Josiah Wang · in Torque Game Engine · 12/08/2004 (10:00 am) · 6 replies
I'm most likely going to buy the RTS Starter Kit, but before I buy it, I wanna get a few things cleared up first...
-My computer (laptop) has 1.5 ghz and ~400MB RAM - will I be able to run this? (I'm asking this because I remember trying run the TSE as well as the Synapse Lighting Pack demo before, both of which I only saw a background...do I need to do something?)
-Will the RTS Starter Kit require extensive changes to the code, or is it like the starter.fps or starter.racing, where it's only a folder?
Thanks!

So once i get the RTS pack, all I need to do is basically plug in and play, no need to recompile?

The RTS Kit is actually a full installer of the TGE 1.3 source code, but has replaced starter.FPS, starter.whatever_else with starter.RTS. You can play it right off the bat using the included demo executable, or set up your compile/build environment and make clean, make and go from there.

I currently have a Win 98 SE (SP2) box with a 1.4G cpu and 400-ish memory as well, and the RTS kit works fine.The RTS Kit is actually a full installer of the TGE 1.3 source code, but has replaced starter.FPS, starter.whatever_else with starter.RTS.

That's the first I've heard of the Lighting Pack demo not working and I'd really like to see what's happening. Would you mind running the demo again and then post the 'console.log' file it generates?
Thanks!

That's cool, I'm glad it's working now, but thanks for looking into it!
