Question about TGEA installation

by Damien Ilic · in Torque Game Engine Advanced · 08/17/2009 (11:14 pm) · 1 replies

I pre-ordered T3D, and TGEA came with it.

When I download the TGEA 1.8.1 and install it, I see no .exe's for the mission editor, or any .exe for starting up TGEA.

Am I missing something, because I thought it would have some .exe that loads up TGEA to setup a project (or view example projects) like in the T3D beta.

There is no standalone editor for Torque. There is no "Toolbox" for TGE/TGEa.

The example projects are found at "YOURINSTALLDIRECTORY/TGEA_1_8_1/GameExamples." You have to navigate to the "game" directory in each example to get to the executable.

The Mission editor is launched in-game by pressing F11.
The GUI Editor is launched in-game by pressing F10.
The ParticleEditor is launched in-game by pressing F5 or F12

The T3D example is pretty much what the "Template" uses when you generate a new project. You can make any source changes you wish in the engine/source directory and then rebuild the individual projects as you wish, you'll find the VS solution/project files in the buildFiles directory of each project.
