Hi !

I just downloaded the beta version of TGEA 1.07.
Do i have to compile them (demos) first to get them running ?
Because as now I click any of the *.exe files they just quickly flash command prompt and do nothing.

Thank You in Advance !!

PS. Yup, I'm an graphics artist not a programmer.

Howdy Petteri.


The root directory had a "compileAllDemos.bat" which effectively did the job for me (I think it uses VS2005 as default compiler so if you don't have that installed I'm not sure how it works -- haven't bothered browsing through the command scritpts nor reading the included documentation).

Hi Henri, long time no hear !! :)

I actually READ those manuals and ran that compileAllDemos.bat.
Do I have to copy something to somewhere to get thise compiled files running ?

Well, uh, I just installed the TGEA 1.07 beta and run the bat. I have Visual Studio 2005 as my default compiler anyways so it compiled stuff for 40 minutes or so. After it was finished the .exe files could be found from the game directories.

@Petteri - If you run the batch files to compile all the game examples, they should be found in the game folder of each example. If you are using Visual Studio 2008 instead of 2005, you need to run the compileAllDemos.bat from a command line and feed it "2008" as its parameter.

Thanks guys !

Installing the beta to a default location (c:\) instead of custom folder did the trick ?!
