GPGT - Maze Runner with Torque 1.5 INDIE Instructions

I struggled a tiny bit to get this working with the full version of Torque so I took a little time and wrote up these instructions. I think the only real difference was Step 2 (and not installing the Torque demo from the CD). I didn't want to install the Torque Demo from the CD since I wasn't sure if it would play nice with the full version. This is using Torque 1.5 the INDIE version. I also made sure to clarify when we were copying the contents of directories or copying the directory itself. A couple of times I wasn't sure.

Good luck, and happy programming,

P.S. I got this working and then wrote the guide, so if there are any typos or problems, let me know.

1. Create a working directory for the MazeRunner project. For simplicity, we'll call this "C:\MazeRunner"

2. From the directory where you installed Torque, copy the contents of the "example" directory into the "C:\MazeRunner" directory.

3. Write the cleanup scripts and put them in the "C:\MazeRunner" directory.

4. From the CD,copy the "\MazeRunner\A_SettingUp\prototype" directory into your "C:\MazeRunner" directory. You're copying the directory itself, so the end result should be: "C:\MazeRunner\prototype"

5. Modify the C:\MazeRunner\main.cs file. Change line 6 from
$defaultGame = "tutorial.base";
to:
$defaultGame = "prototype";

6. From the cd, copy the "\Base\Scripts\EGSystmes" directory into your "C:\MazeRunner\prototype" directory. You're copying the directory itself, so the end result should be: C:\MazeRunner\prototype\EGSystems"

7. Edit the onStart() function in "C:\MazeRunner\prototype\main.cs" so it looks like this (Everything between the comments is new code):
function onStart()
{
// Maze Runner Changes Begin -->
exec("./EGSystems/SimpleInventory/egs_SimpleInventory.cs");
exec("./EGSystems/SimpleTaskMgr/egs_SimpleTaskMgr.cs");
exec("./EGSystems/Utilities/egs_ArrayObject.cs");
exec("./EGSystems/Utilities/egs_Misc.cs");
exec("./EGSystems/Utilities/egs_Networking.cs");
exec("./EGSystems/Utilities/egs_SimSet.cs");
exec("./EGSystems/Utilities/egs_String.cs");
// <-- Maze Runner Changes End
//.. leave remaining code alone
// The next line should be: Parent::onStart();

8. From the CD, copy the "\Base\Data\GPGTBase" directory into your "C:\MazeRunner\prototype\data" You're copying the directory itself, so the end result should be: C:\MazeRunner\prototype\data\GPGTBase"

9. Create a new directory: "C:\MazeRunner\prototype\server\scripts\MazeRunner"

10. Double-click on torqueDemo.exe and it should bring up the mission selection screen. Select MazeRunner and optionally type in a name for your little blue guy.
