Confused..

by Mark Bauer · in Torque X 2D · 12/16/2006 (8:40 am) · 5 replies

Ok..

I'm new to Torque.. but being a C# programming wanting to dabble with games I'm really interested..

So I click on the Torque X page, click Buy and pay $100..

Now when I goto the TDN network looking for some tutorials on how to get started, when I select Torque X it says.. "Only TorqueX owners can access this content."

WTH? Did I buy the wrong thing..

The support seems hard to get ahold of..

Are there any step by step guys to the basics of gettign started with this program?

Well, it is the weekend Mark, so support is going to be limited. What you purchased wasn't TXE, but TGB. TXE is free and is on the TGB download page. You need to download and install a few things to get it going.

1) Download and install C# express: msdn.microsoft.com/vstudio/express/visualcsharp/download/

2) Download and install Game Studio express: www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyId=A73A7E71-FF41-432D-A0EB-043E90...

3) Download and install TXE: demos.garagegames.com/torquex/TorqueXOpenBeta-1.0.1.1-windows-installer.exe

Hi, I don't think you need to bother downloading the XNA Framework seperately. It comes with Game Studio Express v1

Let me confirm (and agree with Ty) that you do not need to download the XNA Framework. That is included in the GSE download. The XNA framework is for people that want to PLAY games, but not compile them. Installing GSE does both.
