RTS Starter Kit and TGE 1.5.2?

by Derry Bryson · in Torque Game Engine · 07/28/2007 (9:05 pm) · 9 replies

Will the RTS Starter Kit work with TGE 1.5.2?

Also, while on the topic of RTS, are there any resources or other code examples I be aware of that would allow me to develope RTS type games with TGE?

Probably. Who knows nowadays. Garagegames is getting pretty agrivating. OH MAN, AN UPDA- Oh, looks like we need to reprogram that Bob.

At least thats from the general mode I have gathered here. As I haven't done enough for a Major update to inflict my code so much. Though the Resources are really ruined.

What do you mean by "the Resources are really ruined"?

Derry, the RTS Starter Kit needs to be manually merged into TGE 1.5.2; there is a step-by-step guide if needed in the RTS private forums. It is not that hard at all :)

In terms of resources, there is the World Dominiation Resource on TDN (for RTS kit owners) which is your basic units, buildings, production queues, resource gathering type thing.

What I mean is, there are SO MANY helpful resources. Though almost all of them were made in a different version of the engine (1.4, 1.3 etc) and they will take some rewriting to fix them to work with 1.5.2

(IMO)

I haven't found many resources for TGE so far dealing with RTS. I'm probably better off purchasing the RTS kit and going from there.

Yes you are. It is cheap and there are some really good things in the RTS priv forums that will help you advance. And this isn't a heafty price ^.^

So I go to buy it, and it says I have to have a license for TGE 1.4.2 :(

Given that I may not be able to purchase the RTS Starter kit, does anyone know of resources that could help me with an rts style god-view camera, a mini-map overview map control, and unit selection?

Derry, I suspect that if you go to the support section of the website and select TGE 1.5 you can tell them you need access to 1.4 stuff (for TDN). And make sure you specify that you want to be able to purchase the RTS kit.
