need help with torque game builder.
by Bradley swift · in Technical Issues · 04/01/2016 (3:51 pm) · 8 replies
I really don't know where to put this stuff since I never do forums or anything like it..
I'm trying to learn beginner game development thru a book called 2D game building for teens and it had me download a trial of torque game builder to learn. Every time I try to create a new project it says"error creating project, could not create the output path, access denied". I just started it up and already can't figure out what I'm doing wrong here and I don't know who to contact for help.

You could try reinstalling TGB to a folder like c:\TGB or something similar - it should then be able to write to its own home folder.

Sounds like it's hard-coded to use the wrong paths (maybe in Program Files(x86)) so it can't write to that location.You could try reinstalling TGB to a folder like c:\TGB or something similar - it should then be able to write to its own home folder.

Well that's unfortunate. IV already lost a few days of my trial just trying to find an answer. III have to give that a try.

That being said, T2D doesn't have this issue - it discovers the current user's home folder and writes there (and User/Local/Roaming for some internal stuff). Down side is no editors.

Yeah, Windows changed that back around Vista - programs can't write to Program Files, program data files are only supposed to be written to your "home" folder or something outside of the Program Files folders. If you install to c:TGB all should be well.That being said, T2D doesn't have this issue - it discovers the current user's home folder and writes there (and User/Local/Roaming for some internal stuff).

Always some kind of give and take huh... Well I'm just starting to learn and all the set backs are making it hard. I thought about moving on to use the unreal engine after I learned TGB. Gotta start some where tho

<shrug> they all have their place and just about any place is as good a starting point as any other. The most important thing is not to give up.
