RTS Starter Pack

I am working on an RTS and must have this. I bought TGE 1.5 today, but only to find out that I am not able to buy the starter pack because I didn't buy 1.4... Is there a way I can still buy the starter pack or if there is a version being released for 1.5, when will it be released?

If you want to get it to work with 1.5, you have to check out the forum. I see someone has apparently gotten an easier way to do that this month. Was a real hassle before.
Remember, the RTS Starter Kit is no longer officially supported. They still sell it, but have stated it does not receive and official support whatsoever. Click the support tab up top, and you'll see every other product they sell is listed, except this one.
It is not like the FPS or Racing/Vehical Starter Kits that come with Torque. Please read my review of it in on the products page, to see what they have, and what you need. Its just to help you if you don't want to spent time coding in the bare basics.
There is a community mod made by someone who is now an employee at Garage Games, which now works, and adds in a LOT of very useful features. They have not added this to the official release though, despite the guy now working for them, and the fact that more people would buy it if you listed peasants could be built now, used to harvest resources, display the number of those resources on the screen, and be used to build buildings. I posted around and emailed them about this, but whatever.

Just email sales@garagegames.com or send a support request telling them you want to purchase the RTS kit and asking for access to 1.4. I just went through the same thing and GG responded quickly.
