Alright everyone, here's some files you can add to add this spiffy feature.

This zip file contains all the needed files to convert your STOCK 1.4 torque.

I do not have the time to do a "resource" right now, so i just threw all the files i modified in a directory tree.

Save this zip in your base torque folder....

C:\Torque or whatever you are using.

Extract the zip where it is and it should overright all the correct files.

You will need to add pathshape.cc and pathshape.h to your Project as well.

Included in a replacement stronghold.mis file. it should put you on the dock when you load it up. the pathshape object is "docked" there. simple fall onto it to begin the ride.


There is currently one small limitation. As of now the moving platform is only affecting the POSTION of the player, and not rotations or anything. I was having a hell of a time trying to get the matrix.mul stuff working. That'll be updated later to fix.

Please post any comments/suggestions/questions.
If something doesn't work, let me know cause i didn't test to make sure all the files were put in the archive :p

I should state this is based on a resource by Anthony Lovell

MANY of the functions in sceneobject.cc, he wrote are including in this, however not all of them. I found use in some of his code, but decided to go a different way in many other places

PS, i'd like to mirror this since i'm hosting it off my computer. If you can mirror this, please let me know.
