GreenRobot video update

#1 Ill check em out Dan! Thats an amazing resource you got going :)

#2 Yo.. I've got some fresh stuff on the way
new coded functionallity, new particle fx, new damaged sprites.

stay tuned

#3 Hey there,

Trying to build this tutorial, but I'm running Torque X 2.0, and the following line:

camera = T2DSceneGraph.Instance.Camera as T2DSceneCamera;

is making it choke because T2DScenegraph does not have a definition of Instance.

I assume this is because the tutorial was written for TX1.0, as I had to change the game class name as well.

Is there an instance of the scenegraph I can use to get the camera? All the occurrences of this line occur in onRegister functions.

#4 Ya I have to port this thing over to 2.0, the programmer I was working with said he'd do it. I've just moved downtown so things have been crazy... (yada yada excuses excuses)

If you can get it to work with 1.0 let me know.

I'm not sure about the camera/scenegraph deal...

I'll jump back on this whole thing shortly.

#5 Dusts off ancient memory cells...

In trying to port greenRobot to 2.0 I ran in a bug (or maybe bugs) that required changes to the TorqueX source. Since I do not have the Pro version of TorqueX, I couldn't fix the bugs myself.

At the time there was talk of a Torque 2.0x being released to address the bugs discussed in the forums. However, I'm not aware of a 2.0x ever being released. I think GG is focused on getting the 3D version of TXB done.

#6 Ah yes, Mr. Wrather,
I assure you that your hard work is not in vain...
But the 2.0 bug doesn't help,
Would owning TX pro really solve this?
(our own unique binary edition? neat...)

#7 @Thomas
2.0's been out for quite a while.

EDIT:
Just thought I should note who I was writing to.

#8 @Dan
Based on my experience, TX Pro is required. There are many helpful people here in the forums that will research bugs and then post solutions. Of course, you can only make use of the solutions if you can modify the source code. Other times someone will come up with a work around or an explanation as to how something works, again by looking at the source code.

@David
By 2.0x, I meant a bug fix release (for example: 2.01). I agree 2.0 has been out a while, and as far as I know, no bug fix updates have followed.

#9 If we modify the source code, how would the average GG'er compile the demo?

#10 Hi Dan,

I am new to the Torque X suite of products and have been following the green robot tutorial videos to help bring me up to speed. Following along with the steps from the import wmv I can establish the project with the images, sound, and code files. When I go to build it is failing with the following error.

Cannot autodetect which importer to use for "sound\blowtorch.wav". There are no importers which handle this file type. Specify the importer that handles this file type in your project.

The versions of the software I am using are Vista Ultimate 32bit, VS2005 Team Edition, XNA Game Studio 2.0, Torque X Pro 2.0, Torque X Builder 2.0, Torque X Platformer Starter Kit 2.0, and Torque Game Builder.

Any feedback would be helpful.

Thanks
Victor

#11 Hey Victor,
the greenRobot is written for Torque 1.0, TXB 1.0, XACT 2.0, Xna 1.0
so it's totally out of date with the software you are using.

The code has to be updated, which I'm doing now.
I'll be out with the updated version soon.

#12 OK, BIG CHANGES

Videos are comming down-
But the kit will be availible in beautiful TX2.0
