Where exactly are the tutorials?

by Mikael Vinding · in Torque Game Builder · 08/22/2007 (9:49 pm) · 7 replies

I just bought TGB and I was going to run through the tutorials (fishdemo etc).

but they are not in the games folder (there is only a behaviorial playground) and I assume not distributed with TGB 1.5.1?
Where can I get these?

Also are there any TGB related books out? I've only seen TGE books.

Cheers and thanks all!!

Try the Torque Developer Network (developer tab, first option down on this site). Most of the tutorials are there.
As far as I know there aren't any books out there, but once you have gone through the tutorials on TDN you should be set. If you have any questions just ask on the forums :)

There are many more tutorials, but you have to download TGB 1.1.3 ...
Most of those examples have not been ported yet

I actually meant the code etc for the ones referenced in the tutorials.. they tell you to grab the assets from some of the 'included demo's' and they're not included...

Thanks for the help - love the forums! Great people and great community here :) I'll post something about myself and my little project later :)

Art Content referenced in tutorials normally is an own resource you can simply add.
And if not, then you got a tutorial for TGB 1.1.3 which co-exists with 1.5.1 for various reasons.

If the tutorials mention grabbing art resources it probably means the "resources" menu... press ctrl + r to bring up the resources menu.

If that doesn't solve your problem be sure to post here and we'll make sure we figure out what's wrong :)

Welcome btw.

Something I noticed today was that the TGB feature tutorial "Workspace Tutorial" says to:

To open that file, go to FILE -> Open Project and select the project named TGB as the one you wish to open.

There's no TGB project that gets created in MyGames, and although I found what looks like a project in the GarageGames\TorqueGameBuilder-1.5.1, there's no project file there to open.

Michael - I think perhaps you are talking about the fact that all those projects are now in My Documents\MyGames. Does that help?

The tutorials are not totally up to date with the latest release. There is no TGB Demo or basic tutorial as described. You need to go to the Resources menu and load the 'Starter' item. I believe these are the resources you will need to use for the "Workspace Tutorial".
