TGEA starter.kits (Download)

by Alienforce · in Torque Game Engine · 02/05/2007 (4:13 pm) · 93 replies

Hi there,

I have done a "alpha" port of Starter.Fps and Starter.Racing from TGE 1.4.2 to TGEA ms4.2
This is plain port without any TGEA eyecandy features but i think it can be a good starting template
anyways i thought i should share it and please post any issues you might find in this thread and
i will look into ti it.

Known issues.
No speedometer in the racing kit yet.
No leaves


Installation.
Unzip in to your TGEA ms4.2 example folder
In main.cs change $defaultGame to starter.fps

Download:
Starter.Fps
Starter.Racing

ISP problem solved. Alpha sort bug on export not... but soon i hope :/ working on it.
Also having a huge problem with getting a good looking Atlas2 terrain of the stronghold.
Looks great from far away like most of the screenshots of Atlas terrains :) but in fps/3ps worldview it looks not good at all. Have been trying to rewrite/modify the legacy terrain insteed to support larger textures and have used 512x512, 1024x1024 and even a 2048x2048 just for fun. The problem is when using larger terrain textures they get very "fuzzy and blurry" and i havent found any way to get them sharp yet.

This adds them to the editor

and this make it so there are 2 one at 10% the repeat value of the first one.

Alienforce I'm afraid I can't help you with these two problems. If you have simplier tasks (better suited for TGEA newbies) on your list or need help testing something, let me know :)

@James - I think this was the link you meant about adding detail textures to the editor.
