What's the binary?

#21 That makes sence. but know I confused myself. I think I need a script editor too...Man I fewel stupid

#22 You can edit the scripts with a text editor. :)

#23 I hope you're planning a simple game.

now = at once or at this exact time
know = to have information firmly in the mind or committed to memory

Now you don't have to feel so stupid. :)

#24 Wow, that was both helpful and not at all snide...

Is your sarcasm detector going off?

#25 Uhhhhh...okay I'm just triying ot get the basick T2D tutorial game. anyway whenever I try to click on a client file then then the computer says "abode reader could not open "client .cs" because the file is either not a suported file or it has been damaged (for example it was sent in an E-mail and it wasn't properly decoded" wow typing all that sucked. Anyway that's what it said word for word. what's the deal with that?

#26 Thanks pete. I NOW that. I just got caught up in the moment KNOW can you help me or not?

#27 The reason you get that message is because you've got .cs files associated with the acrobat reader, which can't read text files.

Quick fix is to shift-right click on the file and select 'open with', then 'choose program'. A window with a list of programs should pop up, select Notepad and be sure to check the box "Always use this program to open this type of file" then click OK.

#28 When I do that all it does is come up with a bunch of crazy symboles on notepad. any suggestions?

#30 Yeah I have a window's, I am thirteen and I have little computer experience, which is probobly the wrong answere but it's the truth. I us yahoo mesenger whick is probobly why some of my typing is weard.

#31 Wesley, you need to follow the instructions in the "basic tutorial" PDF file, which is located in your C:\Torque2d\SDK\Doc folder.


unfortunatly it is kind of hard to follow if you dont have any 'real' programming experience. The best I can do is email you the completed tutorial, which you can print out and use to check your progress as you do the steps found in the "basic tutorial" PDF.

If I had to take a wild guess, I'd say you opened up the .dso file instead of the .cs file.

#33 Alright so how do I open up the .dso file instead of the .cs file?

#34 I think I aiready have the tutorial that teaches me how to make a blaster demo. But it doesn't mention my problem hapening. the computer says "abode reader could not open "client .cs" because the file is either not a suported file or it has been damaged (for example it was sent in an E-mail and it wasn't properly decoded"

#35 Well that's because you don't open those files with Adobe Acrobat. PDFs you open with Acrobat. .cs files you open with a text editor, like notepad. And make sure that you don't open client.dso as a mistake because that's what we think you did.

Hope you feel that helps you in some way.

#36 .cs files are script files... Basicaly just text that you can script in.

.dso (usually will end with ".cs.dso") are binary files, when you run Torque 2D it compiles all the .cs script files into binary .dso files. If you don't have windows set to see file extentions you may only see these as .cs files. To change this go to an explorer window... then go up top to Tools -> Folder Options, like this


Then click the View tab like this


Scroll down and make sure "Hide extensions for known file types" is unchecked... then click ok


If that was the case you should now see the files with .cs and seperate files with .cs.dso

#37 Hoo hoo ahahahaha....no one can help you now!!!

#38 Okay everyone I figured it out I had someone who know's allot aobut computers to help. It turnes out I just couldn't understand those "crazy symboles" anyway I'm half way throug it know. thank's fpr all you're help thougn. I'm sure I'll have more questions in th futer. but thanks for know.
