RTSKit and TGE1.5 how-to
by Guy Allard · in RTS Starter Kit · 10/28/2006 (4:18 am) · 81 replies
The completely unofficial, unsupported, DIY way to get the RTS kit to compile and run with TGE1.5 (also known as the 13 steps to enlightenment).
These Instructions assume that you are using VS2005, and that you can already compile TGE1.5 with it. If you're using a different compiler, you'll have to figure out how to set that up yourself.
Warning: Follow these instructions EXACTLY! Failure to do so may cause extreme stress!
Although I've tested for a couple of days, there may be issues with this conversion that I've not been lucky enough to experience yet.
These instructions, and the stuff I did to get it working with 1.5 are based heavily on William Fox's excellent RTSkit to 1.4 solution.
1) prepare:
Create a folder on you hard drive and name it RTSKitMerge
2) Install TGE1.5:
Install TGE1.5 (TorqueGameEngineSDK-1-5-0.exe) into the new RTSKitMerge folder.
De-select the 'Desktop Shortcut' and 'View Readme' check boxes when it asks you which components to install.
After this, you will have an RTSKitMerge\SDK folder containing the new TGE1.5 SDK. Don't do anything else with this yet!
3) Install RTS Starter Kit:
Install the RTS Starter Kit (RTSStarterKit-1-0.exe) into the RTSKitMerge folder.
Again, De-select the 'Desktop Shortcut' and 'View Readme' check boxes.
After this you will have the folders: RTSKitMerge\SDK and RTSKitMerge\RTSStarterKit
4) Copy RTS Kit source files:
Browse to the RTSKitMerge\RTSStarterKit\engine\game directory.
Right-click on the RTS folder, and choose copy from the pop-up menu.
Browse to the RTSKitMerge\SDK\engine directory.
Right click on the game folder, and choose paste from the pop-up menu.
You should now have the folder RTSKitMerge\SDK\engine\game\RTS which contains the RTS files
5) Copy terrSelection.cc:
Browse to the RTSKitMerge\RTSStarterKit\engine\terrain directory.
Right-click on the terrSelection.cc file, and choose copy from the pop-up menu.
Browse to the RTSKitMerge\SDK\engine directory.
Right-click on the terrain folder, and choose paste from the pop-up menu.
You should now have the file RTSKitMerge\SDK\engine\terrain\terrSelection.cc

1) What version of the patch are you using?
2) What instruction set for the porting are you following?
3) What are the errors it throw to you?
1) Did you finally patched and compiled it or it was just once, and with no patching?
Edit: I recommend you to use this
