Hello, m8s,
I purchased TGE yesterday and I have some questions on making maps, I appreciate if someone can answer them.
1. If I want to add a house into the map, do I need to build the house only in 3D design software but not in TGE directly? Is there any way to build brushes in TGE just like Q3Radiant style map editor?
2. what's the limitation of TGE? the number of vertex of models, the number of brushes of structures, etc.
3. If I want to make an FPS games, how many coding knowledge should I know?
Thank you.

Or use DeleD (http://www.delgine.com) as we're almost done with our Torque exporter and DeleD focusses entirely on levelediting. :)

2. Sorry don't know that one.
3. Using starter.fps found in the example folder will be a great place to start. But to answer your question - you can use this or any of the mods below with very little programming knowledge. In fact if you learn a bit of Torque script you could make an fps with even touching the C++ source code.
Grab the quest starter fps if you want to make an adventure of it

... or grab the warzone demo to see how to make a combat style one.

... or grab the Beaver Patrol mod from Gamebeavers.org for the modern combat fps starter kit.

And a final BIG hint... get on the forums and READ READ READ!!!! You will find lots of answers and techniques and features here. Good luck and welcome :)
