Confused about Torque X versions...
by Zilla · in Torque X 2D · 03/21/2008 (4:40 am) · 8 replies
What's the difference between Torque X 2.0 and Torque 1.5.0.0?
Does this mean that if I have XNA 2.0 and 1.0 Refresh installed side-by-side and Torque 1.5.0.0 installed that I still develop under XNA 1.0?
Which starter kits are not compatible with 2.0 yet?
If I upgrade to 2.0, will I have to convert all my previous TXB projects with the Upgrade Wizard?
Where can I download 2.0? I could only find links to 1.5.0.0
Will Torque X 3D replace Torque X 2.0 and be the "one-and-only" Torque X?
Where are the easter eggs? ;-)))
Happy Easter!
Quote:Torque X 1.0 launched as a 2D only game engine. Lots of you downloaded our recent beta release of Torque X 1.5 which supported a full range of 3D features, but the last component missing was an update to the XNA 2.0 framework. Torque X 2.0 is a full-featured 3D component engine compatible with XNA 2.0.

Is TorqueX 1.0.5.1. = Torque 1.5.? Or is the free binary Torque X = Torque 1.5?

1.5 is a beta version that adds 3D built on XNA 1.0
2.0 is the current version almost identical to 1.5 but converted to support XNA 2.0.
New users should go directly to 2.0. Old users may want to keep 1.0 for a while if they have a large code base that they aren't ready to convert.

Thank you David, that works!

if you want TX 1.5 (or prior) support, you have to use xna 1.0 refresh. If you want TX 2.0 support, you'll have to use xna 2.0.
Yes you'll have to upgrade all older projects using the upgrade wizard.
To download, you go to the TX page and click either the one you purchase or the one you get free and after clicking on 'download' it will give you the option for 1.5 or 2.0.
If you purchased TX 1.5 (or sooner) pro, then the tx link will show up under the main tx title in your account page. you'll get the option for older versions as well as the newer one.
The platformer kit is the only one that isn't ready yet, but should be shortly for 2.0 (and it's fairly simple to just upgrade it yourself if need be).
