Torque X 3D builder and the "The complete guide to torque X"

by Robert Jolly · in Torque X 3D · 01/17/2009 (9:05 am) · 14 replies

I just received "The complete guide to torque X" published by the "GG Press" it is referring to XNA 2.0. It then refers to Torque X 3D and the Torque X 3D builder.

The torque X 3D builder is not even out right? So is the book's 3D section written for the 3D builder when it comes out? If so, Torque X builder will be XNA 3.0 but the book is for XNA 2.0. How will effect the book?

Is this book compatable with XNA 3.0 as well because I only have Torque X for gamestudio 2.0, which is the version the book was written for, that is offered for free with my XNA premium membership?

The book was written in advance of the next Torque X release (3.0) and XNA 3.0. As such, the book has more information about the next engine release. In fact most of the "bugs" that people are finding are really not bugs in the new 3.0 engine - they just don't work in the existing 2.0 engine. So, when the Torque X 3.0 engine (and 3D Builder) is released anytime now, the book will be spot on and even more accurate than it is today with the 2.0 engine.

Hopefully they fix the store too... or else I'll start asking about the "Built-in Theora video codec playback" sound feature that I'm pretty sure doesn't exist in TX. Of course I have been wrong before...

Hi, I just purchased the book and still no 3.0. Am I missing something here or are the GG guys just behind schedule?

Matt, the engine release is still coming, it's just fallen way behind schedule. My apologies.

It didn't come next week and thus is even farther behind. Dang Microsoft.

Hopefully the next major versions of TX will have the certification agreement for middleware providers only apply to the free creators club binary where it makes sense because they can't fix problems with the source and not to TX2D or TX3D purchasers who have the source code...

I am wondering if the partnership with Microsoft is even worth it for them at this point. Maybe MS is paying a lot? I wonder what kind of sales they get for the full version on top of the CC version.
