Getting Started tutorial doesn't work with v1.5
by Pectabyte · in Torque Game Engine · 02/06/2007 (1:44 am) · 22 replies
At the very beginning of the "getting started" tutorial that comes with Indie Torque it says to change the name of the "tutorial.base" name to "GameOne" and also to change the $defualtGame = "GameOne" but when I do that the World Editor WONT load. The only time the world editor will load is if both the folder and the defualt game are named "tutorial.base". Also the tutorial says that it is case sensative. This is untrue. Main.cs is all lower case where my folder is all uppercase and it still works when called "tutorial.base". Where can I find a tutorial for 1.5?

It's been a long, long time since I had to change the filename when using notepad. I used to have major issues when creating NIC boot disks for our computer labs. Config.sys.txt just didn't work as well as config.sys.

Copying and Pasting could be a major problem, especially if the original saves in UTF8 or 16 for international compliance, the OS supports direct copying and then notepad tries to make sense of something it doesn't understand. It will come up in notepad the same way Unix hard returns show up: little boxes.
Good call on the cut-and-paste. I hadn't thought of it until you said it and have seen that as a problem, especially when copying from web pages (the intel pro 1000 config.sys and protocol.ini examples for Norton Ghost available from Intel are the major culprits here).

I've never had notepad save extra characters, but it has major issues with text files formatted on other OS's (a common problem among many Windows text editors, actually). I also have not had it append .txt to a file that is opened since Win9x (thought save as, I believe still does). That seemed to go away with existing documents in 2000 around the same time the file size limits went the wayside. It seems that NT4 had a notepad32 which did not have the limit but still appended the txt. 9x has always irritated me by doing that, which is why I would use Wordpad and ASCII text on machines that didn't have a text editor that I liked.It's been a long, long time since I had to change the filename when using notepad.
