Essential Guide to Torque.

by David House · in Torque Game Engine · 12/10/2004 (9:11 am) · 10 replies

Hi. I'm tring to go through the Essential Guide to Torque by Ed Maurina. In the examples he references a "Basic Training" mission file that I can't seem to find. Where can I get it?

Thanks.

If I recall, this file wasn't released in the free version of the guide. Ed is writing EGTGE as a full book, and it will come with all the appropriate information. Watch the site in the future for details.

Did you need help with something in particular? I don't recall off-hand what this section of the guide was referring to, but I'm sure some one can help you figure it out.

@ David - I'm sorry I didn't reply to this e-mail myself. I've been so very heads down lately working on EGTGE. This book has really grown. I won't give details yet as GG will make the formal announcment about the guide when it's ready, but I'm pretty sure it will be worth your wait. To make up for my delinquency, here are 11 screens from the EGTGE kit. It has way too many screens to post them all, but this should give you some idea of what Volume I covers (prior to the full announcement):

Small note. These are are screens of the kit that comes with EGTGE Volume I. Everything in Volume I can be, and is, done using standard TGE and Scripts only. Volume II gets into coding. No screens exist yet for it's kit.

Will this be an ebook or will it be a hard copy when released?

Mark, please watch the site for more information on your questions. :)

Ed has been doing an awesome job on EGTGE, we're all very excited about it. We'll be talking more about the plans for EGTGE soon... all you guys will hear about it before the rest of the world gets to.
