Custom Resource Management
by Jemand den es nicht gibt · in Torque Game Builder · 07/22/2007 (10:44 pm) · 11 replies
Hey all,
Since my own project slowly grows larger and larger it starts to become a pain to manage all art assets inside and outside the level builder. I read a few times that there are people who do management of resources on their own. I was wondering if anybody came up with a nice solution to this and likes to share? I originally planned to write something like a sprite library with tree view for the level editor but that still doesn't solve the issue of un-/loading the needed graphics and sounds inside the game at run time.
Looking forward to hear how you guys solved those problems. :)

If you are looking for managing resources at production level, I would be more than pleased to share what we've done here. If your purpose is more runtime management, erm... I have no idea. :)

I don't manage at runtime to be honest, but there's a resource manager for the pro version, meaning, c++ editing.If you are looking for managing resources at production level, I would be more than pleased to share what we've done here.

@Ricardo: That would be awesome. :) We're going crazy with the bloated Create-Tab of our level builder. :)

I just sent the email, but I'd like to ask to someone from GG if it's possible to share the changes we did with the community, considering we did some major changes (to the point of elimination) of the common directory.If you want or need more info, here's the thread:
