Advanced Camera Update?

Is there going to be an updated tutorial on the use of the advanced camera? I have tried to follow the tutorial with version 1.4 of TGE and none if it makes much sense. Especially the part where it explains to update the torque scripts. An updated tutorial would be nice.

I have went ahead and included the advance camera files and recompiled successfully. When I launch the demo, and press 'tab' to cycle through the camera; it does not work as expected. I have tried to search the forums, but none of the information posted is clear. It all seems to be a mess and difficult to understand or get a grasp of. That is why I'm trying to see if anyone could clear this up and provide a better walkthrough on how to implement the advance camera. It would be better if everything was in one area instead of having to go to different posts or forums just to get the information.

A lot of the advanced camera code is in torque 1.4. To get it to work all I did was add the new files to the folder and project and compile. There are a few fixes to iron everything out. I added the fix by Manoel Neto on the 7th of March 05 and added the fix from the 17st of May 05 by the Man of Ice himself from this thread:

After adding both of those the camera works fine. Or at least I have yet to stumble upon a problem.
