TGB and Internet Multi-Player?

by Eric Schuld · in General Discussion · 08/21/2006 (12:41 pm) · 4 replies

I have also posted this under the Torque Game Engine thread...

So I did a quick search and had difficulty finding an answer to this.

I am considering the purchase of torque game builder - but my wonder is this:

"TorqueNet Lite: Incorporate turn-based multiplayer functionality into your game in a snap with TorqueNet Lite, adapted from the powerful Torque Network Library code."

Does the TGB only support turn-based multiplayer functionality? Or is it possible - as just an example - make a hockey game - where you would have 5-6 people on a team shooting the puck around? Not a game I'm gonna make - but you get the example.

I guess my real question then before I purchase is - what is the functionality for supporting of this type of live action play? And how would it be built in to find other players - my assumption is one would have to setup a game server all the clients would connect to in an effort to start a game with eachother. Ok - that's my question.

Thanks,
eschuld

I actually wanted my post here - shoulda deleted the other one.

Earlier today there was a Torque 2D forum section I thought... this mean they might be adding an actual forum section for TGB?


****Edit - ok - I realize the 2D forum is sitll there - something is messed up with my forums and it sometimes will not show them all... :P

You just have to be logged in to see the other forums for products you own.

I think the problem is that I keep the GG forums open all the time - so my login probably times out... :P
