Cant create Torque Project after installation

by Stephen Mackenzie · in Torque Game Engine · 11/30/2008 (8:11 am) · 7 replies

Hi,

I installed Visual C# 2005, then SP1, then XNA studio. I then downloaded TorqueX Builder as as demo and installed. I tried to get as far as the initial ReadMe in Torque which stated to open visual C# in game studio express and create a Torque project from one of the templates.

I can't even get this far. All the templates seem to have a red cross in one corner, and then I get a message saying that

A problem was ecountered creating sub project 'Game'.

The message goes on a bit and then says, the project type is not supported by the installlation.

So my game programming career comes to an abrupt end before it starts!

Any help appreciated. I installed Torque X 1.0.5.1.

Regards

SM

Which version of XNA did you install? If you are using 1.0.5.1, you will need to have installed XNA 1.0 Refresh. Personally, at this time, I would recommend that you use XNA 2.0 and TX 2.0. It has TXB packaged with it (unlock it with the license key if you choose to purchase it). TX 3.0 will be out soon to maintain compatibility with XNA 3.0 which was just released.

Hi,

I installed XNA 2.0. To be honest, there are so many products I get confused. I simply downloaded Torque X Builder and cant see a TXB 2.0 link in the developer tool downloads.

If you can send me a link to the exact product I need to download I would appreciate it. Would rather be using XNA 2.0.

Thanks

If you are downloading TX 2.0 from the demo page for TX, it includes Builder. It is a time-limited trial. But it will use XNA 2.0.

Hi,

I think I am going mad. If you go to Torque X home page

http://www.garagegames.com/products/torque/x/

and try the "Try now free for 30 days link". Enter your email address and you get version 1.0.5.1.msi, not version 2.

You're clicking the TXB one, aren't you? That's why you need to download TX 2.0. It includes the TX 2.0 and XNA 2.0 version of the builder environment.

The new site will make it clearer. Right now it is confusing, as you've definitely noticed.

EDIT:
Here's a link.

Hi,

I am going to Torque X landing page, and the only "try now for 30 days" is for Torque Builder. I have not got a clue how to get a time limited version of TX 2.0 from your site....

Please send me a link to the landing page, and then an exact description of the link I need to click to get TX 2.0. It seems to be invisible. Perhaps it's a test...if you cant work out how to get to the product, you're not clever enough to use it!

You don't have to put your e-mail address if you don't want to. Click "Begin Download".

Click the "Download Now" link under TX 2.0.

Run the installer.

TXB will be in the TXB folder wherever you decide to install it.

No nested tags... :(
