Dear TGE owners,
I will start with explaining my problem, I own TGE and the book and I have gotten up to pg. 72 where you have to start making the MazeRunner game. Now I am aware that you have to go to chpt. 14 for the "Setting Up your Workspace" and this is where my problem begins. I have posted about this problem a few times before and people have answered my questions. I have taken their answers and have tried very much to use them to fix it but I have had no success. I thank all that have tried to help me in the past even though your efforts were fruitless. I have also tried to watch that QuickTime video from Hallofworlds.com explaining how to set up your workspace for Mac, but I could not understand it either because it was very hard to follow. I own a Mac and reading the book, taking the individual answers the people gave me, it has taken me months and I still have not figured it out yet. Now I believe that why I am having such a problem is because I am brand new to Macs (because I just purchased it this year) so I am not familiar with them. So all I am asking is: for anyone (preferably the man who made this book or a Mac owner) to give me a COMPLETE instruction of how to set up your workspace from the start all the way to where I can import heightfields.png in my mission in Torque, and also how to install the Torque demo for a Mac. I would like these written out if you could. :) I have tried to install the Torque demo for the Mac OSX but all that I have found is to copy the .zip folder to my hard drive. I would believe there is more. If anyone could please just write out a post explaining these things step-by-step I would GREATLY appreciate it. I may sound very stupid to you all now, if I am I'm sorry but I am very new to 3D game development and really need some help. :)
Thanks again,
Christopher Tall

2nd it is very much the same EXACTLY as setting it up in windows, the whole difference is that u will need a .app file not an exe :D
which takes us to 3rd
Mark's Reply will prove to be very helpful (the links he gave u & being relaxed reading it :D)
I dont have a mac myself (had one) but I have access to one, I might not be able to write down the detailed steps u require but I can help u personally with it.
my mail is in my profile (ehab.amer@gmail.com) email me if u got stuck with anything abt Mac or torque or post it here, I'll be happy to reply. :)
