2 important questions need your help

Hi all,

I am interested in TGB and wanna to have a purchase. But there are 2 critical questions must be overcame before moving on.

1. After I have distributed my game to customer, can I offer "Patch" to them for content update? For example, I want to update the apple from RED to GREEN for my 2nd version. How can I just simpler offer "patch" to my customer with an extra install program?

What the "file structure" of the resource files under TGB? Can I tailor-made on it?

2. I want to send some data to a USB-connected device. Surely I will make the USB driver for my device. But can TGB "communicate" with the USB device in callback nature? What kind of technology / scripting approaches I should use for achieving the goal? And do you think the chance of failure will be high?

Thanks for help!
Gavin

1) Many ways to do that just preplan and you should be fine
2) Torque uses direct Input to get access to deviced you would have to make a custom interface for it.
