The big addon thread!

by Lukas Joergensen · in Torque 3D Professional · 07/28/2012 (3:19 am) · 11 replies

This has launched as a prototype website find it here

So there is alot of addons and external programs which isn't in the garagegames store and I think we need a thread which summarizes all these products that people at Garagegames is using for their development to help new people easily find these products so they might be able to spare some time on researching what products is useful for T3D.

    Thanks for the additions Ahsan! I have updated the list with the ones I find relevant! (E.g. Yack Pack can't be bought anymore so left that one out)
    Thanks Dan! I believe lists like these should be added to the Garagegames website where there can be added a categorizing system etc. I have been thinking about creating an external website for this with an advanced categorizing system. If I decide to make such a site this page will be my initial reference for what to add to it!

    The first Python extension you list was a port to T3D of the original Python extension for TGE done by the awesome folks from Prairie Games. It is standalone from the scriptT3D extension, ie they are separate. So listing them separate is appropriate.

    Also, it may be useful to list resources and kits based upon license and if they are released or not.

    Here are some more:

    1. Drive Kit: Status: Released, License: Pay to Use, Link: www.garagegames.com/community/forums/viewthread/128517
    2. GUI Kit: Status: Released, License: Pay to Use, Link: www.garagegames.com/community/blogs/view/21774

    GenEpak - encrypted pak style files for TGE/A and T3D. Stop peoples decompiling your dso's and see how bad your scripts are ;) and kids from stealing your art file, all for the price of a pizza. (note: I've not tested it in 1.2 yet)

    I just threw some time at this, and I am dedicating some of my website to this list, I think it gives better overview and I hope it will help someone! :)

    Konrad had set up a website a few years ago called TorqueBay that did this very thing. You could suggest/submit all things Torque related and even rate them. From what I recall he had great initial enthusiasm from the community, but over time it got to a point where there was just not enough interaction to justify keeping the site maintained...
