Buggy - Any Fixes
by Rik Dodsworth · in Torque X 2D · 09/24/2007 (6:33 am) · 23 replies
Are there any planned fixes for TX & TXB. its easily noticable that TX and TXB could potentially offer an invaluable resource for getting games built.. the concept is amazing. yet the tools lack any sort of testing at all. i can crash the TXB no problem, and the bugs with the scrolling, expanding an item and having to scroll to find it couple with a couple of other minor anoyances render the Builder useless to me. it takes me more time to work around the tweaks than edit the xml file myself.
I see that you seem to have devoted all your time to the 3D engine and left the 2D engine in the dust to rot. this is not good for wanting to use it in the hope it may get fixed before i release, but this doesnt look like the case. it seems to me 2D is no longer on your agenda and no fixes are planned for the 2D engine.
I also read in the license that i cannot write a tool to work with the Engine, does this mean i couldnt write a TXB style tool but still using your framework?
my team & Myself and a lot of the community i speak to feel let down by the abandonment of TXB & TX 2D.
If this isnt going to change any time soon then we have no option but to consider an alternative.
I dont for 1 second think that that statement will make a difference, as i got it for free with my CC membership anyway so i assume you would ignore any comments made by people such as myself.
HOwever, had TXB worked properly i would of been very very interested in purchase Torque360, and the full blown Torque Engine and some starter kits looked appealing. but until i believe TXB has a future i wont be spending any more time with it, and by the time your 3d Engine is released i will be well underway working with my new engine.
Its unfortunate but i can be added to a growing list of people/teams abandoning the TXB all together due to apparent lack of commitment from GarageGames

I dont see how i can continue to use the forums if no responses are given to real issues yet multiple members of the company and community can find the time to have their say on a post where a customer clearly has a "attitude problem" as it was mentioned earlier, and not only that, with comments from thomas only strengthened my concerns. If i cant get support for the product then i do not intend to use it. Its unfortunate but iv not lost any money as such and you hav'nt lost a customer as such because you got no money directly from me so there are no hard feelings, just regret. So i do not intend to continue using the product, Torque X TXB or the Platformer starter kit, i dont intend to come back and read any replies to this either as i have no more need for GG.
if however (GG you) feel you must say something you should be able to get my email address which you can contact me on but i doubt you will have a need for it.
Thanks

Ok so there is so much i could respond with to that post with regards to opinions and offence, and the post from david, but i will refrain to do so as i think my response would make a great blog post and mainly because it wont change a decision that has been made based on the most recent replies.I dont see how i can continue to use the forums if no responses are given to real issues yet multiple members of the company and community can find the time to have their say on a post where a customer clearly has a "attitude problem" as it was mentioned earlier, and not only that, with comments from thomas only strengthened my concerns.

Threads like these can go a number of ways and I think for the most part this has been pretty tame. Either way, I think everyone has said their piece, so I'm requesting that this thread be locked.

Ok, I just wanted to point out that I was responding to the concern that the issues weren't being addressed. Of course I have time for that, and I stated twice already that the bugs aren't being ignored. I've replied to bug threads that are known issues. If there's a known workaround or I can say for sure "yes that's a bug" or "no that's not a bug" then I'll say so and I have been. If not, it takes time to confirm things like this and I happen to not have 1.0 on the NVIDIA machine I'm working on right now (was debugging NVIDIA-specific issues the past week), so yes it would've taken time to reply. I said "unconfirmed bug reports", not just any bug reports at all. I'm kinda surprised that I'm being burned for replying to this thread rather than others, but whatevers.Threads like these can go a number of ways and I think for the most part this has been pretty tame.
