Starter kit missing (already checked forums)

by Timothy Cash · in Torque X 2D · 08/02/2008 (3:45 pm) · 2 replies

I have vista and c# 2005 express xna 2.0

I cannot get the starter projects to show up in VS..

what folder do the templates need to be in to get VS to recognize them?

--update 1---

I guess the zip files have to be in

\Common7\IDE\ItemTemplates\Language\Locale\
\Common7\IDE\ProjectTemplates\Language\Locale\

why doesn't TXpro put them there?

--update 2---

well wrong again

they are in

C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\Common7\IDE\VCSExpress\ProjectTemplates\XNA Game Studio 2.0

but still they do not show up.

--update 3---

removed the extra instances of
GarageGames_StarterGame2D_Template_src.zip

they are now only in
C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\Common7\IDE\VCSExpress\ProjectTemplates\XNA Game Studio 2.0

but now I get this error when I start up the 2D and 3D starter project

I hope this helps, but I have had a similar problem. Not exactly that problem, but when I first installed I couldn't locate my starter kits.

Can't Find Starter Template

This is very strange. I see that you have XNA 2.0 installed, do you also have Torque X 2.0 installed (and not Torque X 1.0) ? Also, by starter templates, you're referring to StarterGame 2D and StarterGame 3D, right? A number of the "starter templates" that were released in Torque X 1.0 are removed and have become Demo projects located in: C:\Program Files\GarageGames\Torque X 2.0 Pro\v2.0.0.0\Demos
