Fps starter kit + Poly limits

by Michael Henfrey · in Torque Game Engine · 09/28/2005 (12:36 pm) · 4 replies

Hello, Im intrested in buying torque but im not the best at coding yet, so i was wondering how far the fps starter kit is along. Would it be possible to make a simple 8 player deathmatch online fps with it without much code editing?

Also whats the best sort of poly limits for use within torque.

Many Thanks

Mike.

Of course, that's what the Torque starter.fps is. You can host it online, so others can join and kill you or get killed :) Only one weapon, but you can easily add more.

That's like asking: "How fast will my new car go at the speedway?"

It depends on what car it is, and how you drive it.
Ie, it depends what computer you're running Torque on, and what you do with each polygon.

Ok for example a 8 player fps, with characters, outdoor terrain and a bunch of buildings and weps etc. On a medium spec pc. Just looking for rough ideas on limits

The Kork model that comes in starter.fps is about 2400 polys. You can have 8 of those running around.
Also, Torque has evolved from Tribes 2 and if you are familiar with that, you can see what kind of environments Torque can do.
