Real tutorials

by Ola Gardner · in Torque Game Engine · 07/11/2006 (1:17 pm) · 5 replies

Hi,
I am very new to the Torque engine and seem a bit lost. I have been through the majority of the forums and just am not sure where to turn next. I have been through the getting started pdf and the tutorials on tork.beefy.de, which are very good, but I feel stuck. I would like to take the fps shooter that I got with the engine and start to modify that. Is there any real tutorial that goes over this or have I gone through everything that is out there. I think what I want to be able to see is my mission as a playable mission when I open the fps kit. I want to be able to select it and play it.

Please help point me toward more tutorials! And please let me know if I am missing something.

Thanks in advance,

    Ola - This one is fairly easy so let me get you started.

    Start the game and load the stronghold mission. Then press F11 and then click File - New Mission. This will load a standard mission for you to modify.

    The important thing to modify is the mission info. On the right side, click on the MissionInfo - ScriptObject, change the Name and the Description on the bottom and click Apply.

    Now click on File - Save Mission As. Save the new mission file under starter.fps/data/missions with a new filename.

    Hope that helps.

    Thx!
    - BigPapa

    Have you read over TDN (tdn.garagegames.com)? Have you tried using the google-powered search (search.garagegames.com)? Have you considered getting the Game Programmer's Guide to Torque, or 3d Game Programming All In One?

    Thanks BigPapa and Ben. I think I just needed some guidance. I have been reading the book and I think I got a little overwhelmed. Back to my master piece/s! :-)


    Thanks!

    Ben - The book was going to be my next suggestion. I know having some guidance helps put people at ease when they are overwelmed.

    Ola - Do use all the resources that Ben pointed out and NEVER be afraid to ask questions.
