1. In /example/common/client/canvas.cs
after this line:
   exec("~/ui/RecordingsDlg.gui");
add:

Installing utilities for metrics and interiorRender to Torque

1. In /example/common/client/canvas.cs

after this line:

	exec("~/ui/HelpDlg.gui");

add:

	exec("~/utilities/utilMenuDlg.gui");

2. In /example/common/main.cs

after this line:

	exec("./editor/editor.cs");

add:

	exec("./utilities/utilMenuSetup.cs");

3. In /example/common/help

	Place the file named "11. Utilities.hfl"

4. In example/common/utilities (make the directory if it doesn't exist)

	Put:

		utilMenuDlg.gui
		utilMenuDlg.cs
		utilMenuSetup.cs

5. In example/common/client/metrics.cs

Change the below line (55) from:

	"  INT: " @ $Matrics::Interior::numTexturesUsed @

to:

	"  INT: " @ $Metrics::Interior::numTexturesUsed @

Comment out the below line (141):

	GLEnableMetrics(true);

After the below lines (149-150):

	if (%cb !$= "")
	{

add:

	GLEnableMetrics(true);

6. In example/fps/client/scripts/default.bind.cs

Change the below line (310) from:

	showInterior();

to:

	metrics("interior");

Change the below line (318) from:

	show();

to:

	metrics();

7. In engine/dgl/gTexManager.h

Change the below line (288) from:

	U32 useName = tex->texGLName;

to:

	U32 useName = object->texGLName;

8. In engine/interior/interior.h

Uncomment the below line (658):

	//   void debugShowVertexColors(MaterialList* pMaterials);

9. In engine/interior/interiorDebug.cc

Uncomment the below line (139):

//      debugShowVertexColors(pMaterials);

Replace the entire function Interior::debugShowVertexColors (730-759) with the below:

void Interior::debugShowVertexColors(MaterialList* /*pMaterials*/)
{
   static U8 colors[14][3] = {
      { 0xFF, 0xFF, 0xFF },
      { 0x00, 0x00, 0xFF },
      { 0x00, 0xFF, 0x00 },
      { 0xFF, 0x00, 0x00 },
      { 0xFF, 0xFF, 0x00 },
      { 0xFF, 0x00, 0xFF },
      { 0x00, 0xFF, 0xFF },
      { 0x80, 0x80, 0x80 },
      { 0xFF, 0x80, 0x80 },
      { 0x80, 0xFF, 0x80 },
      { 0x80, 0x80, 0xFF },
      { 0x80, 0xFF, 0xFF },
      { 0xFF, 0x80, 0xFF },
      { 0xFF, 0x80, 0x80 }
   };

   glDisable(GL_TEXTURE_2D);
   glBlendFunc(GL_ONE, GL_ZERO);

   for (U32 i = 0; i < sgActivePolyListSize; i++) {
      const Surface& rSurface = mSurfaces[sgActivePolyList[i]];

      glBegin(GL_TRIANGLE_STRIP);
      for (U32 j = rSurface.windingStart; j < rSurface.windingStart + rSurface.windingCount; j++)
      {
         const ItrPaddedPoint& rPoint = mPoints[mWindings[j]];
         glColor3ub(colors[sgActivePolyList[i]%14][0],
                    colors[sgActivePolyList[i]%14][1],
                    colors[sgActivePolyList[i]%14][2]);
         glVertex3fv(rPoint.point);
      }
      glEnd();
   }

   if (smFocusedDebug == false) {
      glColor3f(0, 0, 0);
      for (U32 i = 0; i < sgActivePolyListSize; i++) {
         const Surface& rSurface = mSurfaces[sgActivePolyList[i]];
         lineLoopFromStrip(mPoints, mWindings, rSurface.windingStart, rSurface.windingCount);
      }
   }

   glEnable(GL_TEXTURE_2D);
}

10. In engine/audio/audio.cc

Comment  out the below lines (14-16):

	//#ifdef DEBUG
	//   #define GATHER_METRICS
	//#endif

11. In order for the metrics to get calculated, you will need to add the Preprocessor definition:

	GATHER_METRICS=2

	For MSVC you can follow the below steps:

		1) From the menu, select Project->Settings
		2) Make sure that Torque Demo is selected in the TreeView on the left
		3) On the tabbed dialog box select the C/C++ tab
		4) In the Preprocessor definitions field add the below to the end of the line:

			,GATHER_METRICS=2

12. You should now "clean" (from the MSVC menu Build->Batch Build->Clean) your work area and perform a full build (from the MSVC menu Build->Batch Build->Build).

13. Enjoy!  Desmond Fletcher and Richard O'Brien; special thanks to Daniel Nielsen.
