Running Torque?

by Shane · in General Discussion · 09/15/2008 (6:21 pm) · 3 replies

I just downloaded Torque 1.4.2 just a few minutes ago for my Macbook. Where is the actual application? The only engine was "Torque Demo OSX" but of course, it says "demo". I am 13, so it would help if you could please be more into detail about opening it.


Thanks

Did you buy torque? or just download the demo?
The Torque Demo OSX.exe is the engine in it's compiled state. There are folders in that same folder, (creator, demo, and common) which hold the script files.

Yes I purchased it from garagegames.com/products for $100. I think your right. I have tons of other folders called "common" and other stuff.

Ok, with this information, you should have a folder called "engine". That folder is the engine code.
In the example folder, there are 3 demo folders. Starter.Fps, Starter.Racing, and demo. With the exe, there is a file called "main.cs". Open that in your text editor, (which ever one you have installed) and find $defaultGame = "demo"; , That's telling torque to run the demo folder. Change that to starter.fps and save. Then click the exe and you will be playing the fps demo. You can do the same for the racing game example.
