I got the 3D Game Programming All-in-One(Torque). They have alot of info in that book, but for serious ppl like myself I need complete reference to game programming for Torque. Please some one point me in that direction.

In particular, I like the scripting reference.

TDN is much better than the doxygen documentation. In particular, I like the scripting reference.

When u download Doxygen u get like 1.5.... version and when u look for the configuration file (located at 'doc\doxygen\html\doxygen.html.cfg') it is not there.
Ok, I did an extensive search for "doxygen.html.cfg" file in where I installed doxygen and I did not find nothing. Then I tried making my own config file, put those values in and select Torque directory it produced a index file, when u open that file it is nothing there!
I am an owner of Tourque engine so it is not demo, also tried to change dir to c:/tourque/SDK/ directory with the same emty help file result.
1. There is no config file that u can change values in.
2. Please point me where I can get updated version on that.
Thank u for yr time.

Download Doxygen and install along with Microsoft HTML Help Workshop
Run Doxygen
Choose wizard
Set Torque/Sdk/Engine as your input folder
Make sure you check the box for recursive search
Tick the option to output for *chm and remove the LaTex option
Set the output to where you want (I use Torque/SDK/Docs
change working directiong to Torque
and away you go.
Once its done (might take a while) go to the docs folder, in there you should find a file set to work with Microsoft HTML Help Workshop (cant remember the name off hand but since everything else will be image and html you should find it easily enough) then run that and your chm will be ready for use.
Sorry for being a tad vague if you still have trouble Ill check back this evening and can email you a doxygen script file that will compile the docs for you (all paths set relative etc)

The Doxygen guide linked to isnt the most useful ever, fairly out of date etc. Sadly Im at work so I cant get the exact names of the boxes and tabs to click (since I dont have Doxygen installed and I dont use it all that often) but heres a few steps that should get you going with it.Download Doxygen and install along with Microsoft HTML Help Workshop

Such a beast does not exist.

Buying Torque, you should be ready to buy books about Torque because the documentation in TDN is very incomplete.
Or, if you are familiar with C++, you can learn the sources to find out more information about the functions (which are not documnted) and other stuff.
ps. Just kidding ;)

I have just started reading The Game Programmer's Guide to Torque. Although I'm using TGEA and this book is for a slightly older version of TGE, I bought it because it gives a good overview of the design of TGE. This is needed to get off to a good start. All the details can be learned later by experimentation.

You could also search on TDN. I personally like doxygen.
