How to configure Visual C++ 2010 for TGEA (it isnt in the docs)

by Rayco Santana · in Torque Game Engine Advanced · 02/11/2011 (12:04 am) · 9 replies

I cant find the options to include the libs in Visual C++ studio 2010, last time I used Visual studio it was in Tools/options/projects&solutions/VC++ Directories but they changed it, can someone please tell how to configure TGEA to work with this thing?

That's an excellent part of the docs which discribes step by step how to set up visual studio.

No it doesnt, I wont be here if it did... Oh well it does, but only for visual studio 2008 wich I already know how to configure, my problem is that VS 2010 its diferent:

"How to configure VS 2010" should be added to the documentation instead of vs 2008 since you cant download vs 2008 from M$ page anymore.

Rayco,

In VS2010, they moved those to the project rather than have them be shared across all projects to make it easier to keep settings consistent across multiple developers and multiple projects.

Create the project as normal, and then in Solution Explorer, right-click on the project, go under Configuration, and then follow the instructions in the link.

Visual Studio 2008 Express Downloads

You can still download VS 2008 Express, the one you want is vcsetup.exe. TGEA was discontinued long before VS 2010 was out which is why the documentation doesn't cover it.

Hi scott what do you mean by TGEA was discontinued long before? I'm curious about it because I'm using TGEA now.

Sorry if my question is out of the topic.

He means that there won't be any more updates to TGEA. You can still use it of course, that's what I use until I can find out if T3D can do big terrains like TGEA.

TGEA was discontinued as a product in our store back in November 2009. This just means that it is no longer being sold and no longer receives any updates. It doesn't impact your current license to it other than the fact that 1.8.2 is the final version of it.

If you load the Visual Studio 2008 Solution into Visual Studio 2010 it will convert everything to work with Visual Studio 2010. So no need to use Visual Studio 2008 Express.
