What happened to the Starter Kits?

by Do Not Delete · in Torque X 2D · 07/28/2008 (9:59 am) · 2 replies

I just recently downloaded and installed Torque X 2.0 only to find out that some of the starter kits that were included in Torque X 1.0 are missing. Starter Kits such as Torque Combat and Space Shooter are no where to be found.

Is there any way to get them back? The only way that I see to get them back is to uninstall Torque X 2.0, install Torque X 1.0, get the starter kits, uninstall Torque X 1.0 and install Torque X 2.0 again.

If I'm missing something or the starter kits are in the Torque X 2.0 installation please let me know.

Thanks,
Dro Sarhadian

Some of them did not make the transition to 2.0. But others are included in the demos directory.

Exactly, those starter kits are incompatible with the 2.0 Framework. TorqueCombat was especially problematic since it had a really custom GUI system that became totally obsolete. I've been thinking about re-creating the TorqueCombat game from scratch as a networked multiplayer game to show how to do networking, but that's on a very long to do list.
