TSE Starter.fps download
by Joseph Euan · in Torque Game Engine Advanced · 08/19/2005 (6:09 pm) · 183 replies
I got the starter.fps folder ported over to TSE (TSE water and Atlas are working in the starter.fps as well), and I wanted to upload it for people to play around with/use if they want too...
Update:
v1.3 for TSE projects using MS2 or below "here" (23MB)
v1.3.5 for TSE projects using MS3 "here" (18MB)
(the file size is smaller because I used a better compression setting)
More details of v1.3 and v.13.5 can be found here www.garagegames.com/blogs/18010/10218
You can find links for the older versions on my .plan
At the moment it contains 2 maps....
Stronghold: just the same old stronghold mission, but with the TSE water.
Simple testbed: Just TSE water and Atlas terrain, it has 2 platforms and an AI player running around...

I had a link error when I first did the release build. It had to do with the ljep lib. I rebuilt that individually and then I was able build the release.
Don't know if that would help you.

Atlas 1 in milestone 3.5 doesn't work well. Maybe its a problem with the shader or TQT loading, I haven't really looked into it.

edit:
will MS4 use Atlas 2?

Same terrain problem as Dave MacIsaac, at least there arent any wierd tree lines anymore, also the terrain is very edgy now, lots of trianglesedit:
will MS4 use Atlas 2?

You as they say rock Joseph. The starter FPS has been a fantastic asset for me to use as a starting point for my project.

@Joseph - If you want to get a headstart, we made an initial stab at it here:www.garagegames.com/mg/forums/result.thread.php?qt=50342

@Jaimi, thanks but I'm going to re-port the starter.fps pack rather than just trying to get the last tse port working on MS4Thanks Tim :)

MS4 has been out for a few days now in SVN. Just update and you'll get it.

It's not very hard to port your project to Milestone4. I ported mine in about 15 minutes. All that would be required would be to modify the defined shaders and execute the lighting code from game.cs. Super easy.
#157
1. define shaders.. check client\scripts\shaders.cs
2. exec lighting.... exec("common\server\lightingSystem.cs");
3. I had an error saying i hadnt initialized it or something like that, simple add "initRenderInstManager();" without quotations of course, in client\init.cs under exec("./scripts/commonMaterialData.cs" );
4. you may want to replace the terrain and/or missions, interiors folders with those from another mod folder.. check around for other files too (i had a missing skybox).
That pretty much covers a "running" starter mod in MS4. I don't see any problems so far.

3. Well yes, remember that this starter.fps was before the new rendering system.

How go's the new port Joseph?
#160
And "define shaders" doesn't do it for me.
09/25/2006 (12:58 pm)
In lieu of Joseph completing the complete re-port, can anyone provide concise step-by-step details on changes needed to get the old code functional in MS4, either from working MS3.5 code or the original base code linked at the top of this thread? I've got enough errors right now to make my head spin.And "define shaders" doesn't do it for me.
