Some questions about TGB...

by Alexandre Ribeiro de Sa · in Torque Game Builder · 05/09/2007 (11:04 pm) · 3 replies

Hello everyone, I'm testing the TGB, ad I think I'll buy it, but I have 4 questions about TGB...

1 - Can I work with files like, copy files, move, delete or create files with TGB, to create a save structure?
2 - Can I play MPG and MP3, or some file like with TGB?
3 - Can I use XML files to create user or configurations files?
4 - Can I open pictures from file, not from resource, to create something like a skin system?



Thanks everyone for the help
Alexandre

1) You can copy/move files around with TGB, yes ...

2) You can play OGG audio files "out of the box", and can use resources to extend the abilities to include MP3 and other formats (requires Pro to use resources)

3) There is an XML parser in the latest 1.5 beta from what I understand, and I've also incorporated expat, the GNOME XML Parser (cross platform) and submitted it to the community as a resource (requires Pro to use resource)

4) You can load files dynamically, just need to know the path ... you can also utilize built-in GUI's for navigating to the path (requires Pro to see the source required to use the GUI's -- I believe)
