Obscure Documentation

by Alpha-Kand · in General Discussion · 06/25/2012 (10:03 am) · 3 replies

Now the documentation for Torque is great where it exists but I would love to edit the documentation and add to it when I discover stuff so I don't have to question something I have already learned about which might involve the tediousness of wading through complicated source code that I don't intend on editing.

1. Does anybody know where I could get a program that can make documentation like what comes with Torque? I have looked around but haven't found any easy to use. Perhaps the program torque docs were made in?

2. Perhaps somebody who works in/for GarageGames could help me to the original docs? Maybe please??

I don't intend on sending it back so you can distribute it to people but it's mostly for my personal selfish gain. Unless somebody asks nicely for it.

About the author

I have always loved video games and computer games so decided to try making my own. Spent a little more than a year on a program simply named Game Maker which really got me interested. Finally decided to get "professional" by getting Torque 2D.

    @Alpha-Kand: Can you clarify for me exactly which docs you are looking for? Are you talking about a copy of the FPS tutorial? Torque 3D? Torque 2D?

    With Torque 2D and 3D you have offline copies of the docs in HTML format and you can use any HTML editor to add your own notes/changes to the docs for your own use.

    I am happy to help you out here just help me understand exactly what you need!

    Thanks! I have a program that can easily edit HTML so I tried it and it works, so problem solved. I know almost nothing about HTML or anything remotely related to a browser so I got thrown off when searching through the doc files.

    I meant the official docs for 3D and 2D BTW.

    Awesome. Notepad++ is a good free editor you can use to add notes to the HTML files. Dreamweaver is an option but can be more expensive. You might consider sharing some of your notes as a Resource in the future. Good luck!
