Hum, I would have assumed based on THIS post, you were hoping to distribute them to the 3 other team members.

I made this one before that one and I was thinking only of myself. Im still completely lost and working thru that EGTGE.PDF. Wanted the docs from here so i could study it offline (the PDF references several pages from it). A normal person has no problem staying online 24/7 and I do have Broadband @ home. However I live on a navy ship right now and so do 2 of my 3 crewmembers. So there are long stretches of time when we have NO NET ACCESS. Of course im sure they would want it too but no i wasnt getting at that in the original post.

Salvadore, not really... theres over 5000 pages (so i'm told) of docs that are always being updated... not something I would want to download each time theres an update :)

A few people use a page download program (doxygen) to download the docs... try reading www.garagegames.com/mg/forums/result.thread.php?qt=14393 for more info.

Salvadore, i feel for you.. i also wish the doc situation was better.

I use a tool called "Web Copier" that downloads webpages. I dont know if it works for you (i guess you tried a similar tool and got denied) but otherwise, sorry bud.

Doxygen generates documents directly from the source code. It does not require that you be online.

Does it generate docs about how to use the various editors in TGE? or just the source code documentation?

It just generates documents from the source code (specifically these docs). However, there is a *lot* of documentation in that (from the header files...as Ben mentioned).

If you load up Torque and hit F1 (the ubiquitous "help" function key) you will see a decent amount of docs on the basics of using the Mission and Gui Editor.

Also be sure to check out engine\engine.overview.txt (which I believe will get included in the doxygen docs).

Thanx man. I appreciate the info. Im gonna try and master the editing and creation of levels and scripting etc before i tinker with the engine source. I downloaded the General Documentation so I am doing ok now. Thanx again for the help.
