Running FPS starter?

by Smarty Pantsp · in Torque Game Engine · 07/28/2008 (3:25 pm) · 5 replies

How do I run the Fps starter? The only thing I can run is the demo but I want to edit the FPS starter. How? I don't know how to run it.

In the Torque\Example directory you should find a script file called RUN_StarterFPS.bat, just double click on it and it will run the FPS starter kit.

A more permanent solution: open main.cs (you can use notepad, or an actual script editor if you have one). See this line:
$defaultGame = "demo";
Change it to:
$defaultGame = "starter.fps";
Note that those names correspond to the folders where those games are stored.

Excellent, just what I was looking for.

On a side note, are there and free script editors you prefer to use?

The best editor is torsion.
If you want a free one, search tribal. It's an old editor that still works great. I don't think it has a debugger tho. (never looked)

I use Codeweaver, it's free. You can also find TorqueScript syntax highlighters for certain text editors (i.e. more advanced that notepad) if you prefer those.
