FPS Tutorial Issue

EDIT: I didn't mean to post on this forum, can somebody please move it to the correct one?

I'm trying to follow the FPS tutorial to get me started with Torque 3D, but I'm having a problem running the FPS tutorial, I'm getting the error that states that the "FPS_Tutorial.dll" is missing. I've tried all of the solutions the tutorial gave me, but none of them worked. What do I do?

Here are my specs:
3.2GHz (4GHz Overclocked)
8GB Ram
AMD R9 200 Series GPU
Windows 7 64-bit
320GB HDD

The game folder should look similar to the image on this page. The DLL should have the same name as the executable. (In newer engine versions, the DLL can be named 'exe name DLL.dll' instead of just 'exe name.dll'.)

I've checked, and it seems I have everything (and then some), but the game doesn't work.

I don't see an 'FPS Tutorial.dll' file. Did you rename the executable? Try renaming 'New Project.dll' to 'FPS Tutorial.dll'.

The project is called "New Project", I never gave it an actual name, but I'll try that next time I have access to the PC I'm doing this tutorial on.

So when I use a template for a project, the project needs to be the same name as the template? That sounds kind of limiting.

Or you could rename the executable to 'New Project.exe'. As long as the EXE and DLL have the same name, you'll be fine. The template name doesn't matter.

Okay, I got it working, thanks!
