How to create a new game or see engine changes?

For some reason I can only see my engine changes under the torque.debug.exe.
If I run the normal .exe, it is still the default and will not show the health bar. I made the change in the healthbar.cc for my vehicle combat game.
I'm using Xcode and MAX OSX and I'm not sure how to go about doing this.
This is what I did, but failed at getting the the healthbar for the normal exe.
Open up xcode, point to the torque build project. Add my exisitng file, and recompile (BUILD).

I assume my new application is now called torquedebugdemo.exe and it will only run under MAC?

Since you made changes to the core engine (healthbar.cc), then you will need to compile it for the OS to enable the changes. If you just made changes to the script files (cs), then you shouldn't need to recompile the engine.

Are you aware that each time you compile your engine, there are a number of different presets for different engine sollutions. Eg there are one called "release" and another one called "Debug Fast relightning", and your gonna have to chose which to build from your compiler.

Nod, you have to preset your compiler to create a release version. In addition you can change your name and icon as well, ill be happy to help you with that when we talk later

If you could help me with changing the name & icon, that would be useful. Do you mean changing it through Xcode? I currently just change the '.app' name of the application of the engine, and then go to get info and drag an image into the current icon image of the engine.
Thanks in advance.

Otherwise you will need to run your new compiled App that you generated with XCode.
