How do you run starter.fps and starter.racing?

by Highlander · in Torque Game Engine · 11/30/2005 (11:30 am) · 4 replies

Hello,

I was able to get the demos from Finney's book to run by typing TGE -CH2 etc... in a command prompt.

I bought the engine and downloaded the new 1.4 SDK. I went to the example folder. The only .exe I see there is "torqueDemo.exe"

When I run it, it brings up a screen with some clickable options, none of which seem to launch one of the actual demos.

I tried to put TGE.EXE from the book files into the starter.fps directory and running it, but I got a blank console screen.

I'm sure I am missing something really easy here. Could someone tell me what it is?

Thanks,
Mike

If you go into c:\Torque\sdk\example\main.cs

Change $defaultGame = "starter.fps"; to the name of the folder you want to run.

Open up main.cs (the one in the SAME directory as TGE.exe)

The very first line, aside from the comments should read something like:
$defaultGame = "GameOne";

Change this to read
$defaultGame = "starter.fps";

save, exit and run tge.exe.

Thanks gentlemen, works perfectly!

Now, the next question is- what piece of the documentation did I miss where this is explained? I want to go back and read the rest of it...

Just FYI, another way to do this is to create a shortcut to torqueDemo.exe, and in the command line put "-game starter.fps"
