Script file formats

by Danny Csaky · in Torque Game Engine · 11/20/2005 (10:38 pm) · 2 replies

Hi,
I've been wondering what the different file formats are, i know that cs is torque script, but what about cc or h is that C++? I also want to know this because with j-edit i can change the type of highlighting formats, so should i make cc and h read as c++?

Also , i've seen .dso files created when i've changed script files, what is dso? and why is it created?

C++ definitions are usually in .h files, and C++ implementations in .cpp files, but implementations can be found in .cc files as well (especially on Linux systems). But that's not all. C++ code can be found in the following file types (and possibly others):

.h, .hh, .hpp, .hxx, .cc, .cpp, .cxx, .c++

Quite often .h files will contain definitions in 'C' code.

In Torque, I believe .dso files are "compiled" versions of their corresponding torquescript (.cs) files. These files are automatically created/changed when the game is run after adding/changing .cs files.

Slight clarification on Jeff's post:

.dso files are byte-code compiled versions of your .cs script files. Do not confuse this with the build process of the engine itself--byte-code compilation is done automatically for you when you run your executable, and does not require a manual step (other than detecting and fixing any errors in your scripts).
