Hello I just bought the GMK and can't get it to work. Is there a step by step or other resource beside the PDF on how to get it working. I don't know much but know even less when it comes to code and stuff. That's why i bought the kit didn't think it whould be so hard to get going.....and it most likly isn't i just don't know what I'm doing for sure. Any help would be great Thank you

I tried adding the files it lines out in the PDF but the when I run it doesn't do anything I'm still learning so I am sure I have missed something but I don't know what. When you say compile so I have to open it up in torsion? Thank you

You have to add the source code to the engine and recompile the dll. This is usually done using Visual Studio. Just adding the files to the source will not change the game engine.

So I have to have Visual Studio to use GMK? I bought it beacuse I had no clue on scripting....back to the drawing board. :-) Thank you

You will have to have a compiler to incorporate GMK into the source code. You can download Visual Studio Express for free.

No problem. Now you can embark on the journey of source code modification. It's a rewarding experience (most of the time).
