TGE for Mac tutorials

#1 For basic tutorials, those videos are great. Keep going in the direction you are going as they can be used by a lot of new commers to torque. :-)

#2 Thats the way I'm hoping to go with it. I want to make them as trans-os as possible but they will always have a little OSX twist. Thanks for the compliments.

Any requests?

#4 Well I think alot of people will like that. I knew most of that stuff, but there was one thing I learned that will really help me, thanks.

#5 Hey Tyler, thanks for the comment! What was it you learned?

#6 How to make something one application instead of an app and a bunch of files and folders.

#7 Ah yes, A VERY handy little tip. When I was using Windows I didn't (and still don't) know how to make packages.

Btw, I added another video today for a total of 5 beginners videos!

#8 Good videos, keep up the good work, I am getting a Mac, and this is what I need to get started with TGE and Mac's.

One suggestion, I was watching 'Preparing your games for Distribution' video, and when you Copied and Pasted the files, you used the short cuts (Apple+C), for some one that may not know what you did, they could be left 'clueless', so right click and copy your files would be a good idea so people know what you did.

#9 Hi Liam! Thanks, I try to mention the commands I use, and do in the first couple videos. But I'll try and remeber to do it faithfully. :D

-Josh

#10 Hi, just another one, when you right click, I think there should be a Blue circle (sort of in a water drop effect), and when you left click, a Red circle. Then again it is up to you.

Thank you for your time on reading my posts.

Liam.

#11 Liam, Thats a GREAT idea... I'll have to look into how to do that.

One thing that concerned me - the way I have it set up, my window goes all over the desktop and I fear it could be a little too busy at times. What do you all think?

-Josh

#12 If I am understanding you right, you could just change the resolution smaller so it isn't so big and you can see the text better?

#13 I am talking about the way the screen follows my mouse. I think it could make the video a little "busy" and hard to follow. Would it help to have the recording area stationary and I place the objects that i am working on IN that area?

-Josh

#14 I didn't mind it at all... But maybe some might find it too busy.

#15 OK Liam, I took some of your advice and am trying out a new format. Right click and save the file at the following link and let me know what you think!

#16 May I suggest some more 'ingame' tutorials such as:

Making terrain pictures
Adding objects
Using the GUI editor

Or something like that...

I love how these videos show everything including the websites needed to download things and stuff like that.

#17 Hey! thank you tyler. Don't worry. I do plan on getting to that. Thanks for the suggestion!

-Josh

#18 Hey Josh, I haven't looked at the video yet, I don't have QuickTime, I am downloading now, my desktop I wrote the last posts on has a PreBIOS failure, and worse a processor failure, which the processor apparently has no warranty, but I am sorting this out right now anyways, or else I have to pay $2300 for A new processor!

#19 Double Post, sorry.

I looked it over, and I liked it very much, when you quit with the Apple+Q it told you that you did that, and when you click as well...

Thanks for the videos, anyways.

#20 Just a heads up, I am re-doing all the videos so far (just finishing rendering them)

I've changed them up to contain slightly more information especially in the compiling stage (for those of you who want to customise the name of your game properly)

I'll post here when I get the new videos up.
