75 to spend what should i buy?

#1 Why not save your money ;)

#2 I can but i realy like to spend money :) :) :)
but i there is to much to chose out in the garagegames store.

so that is why i realy need som advice.

#3 Well what do you need? What do you find the most difficult to do yourself and which content pack will teach you the most?

Mind you, I don't believe in content packs, I say save your money and buy some software or books - they'll get you further than any content pack from this site.

#4 Books!

#5 I suggest you wait and get familiar with TGEA first. Once you get the hang of it, you will have a MUCH better idea of what you really want. The decision is really yours based on your specific needs. For example, you may find yourself delving into TorqueScript and perhaps may realize the benefits of getting Torsion.

Once you decide what will benefit you, then you can ask more specific questions like "What can I buy which will help me learn how to..."

#6 K thanks for the advice you guys, that realy help me out.

once i have bought what i want i will infrom you here in this topic.

thanks again.

#7 You should by a book: The Programmer's Guide to Torque.

#8 .

#9 .

#10 Oh yes. Despite some inestability, Codeweaver is for me the better IDE by FAR.

#11 L3dt+ torsion if you buy TGEA

#12 If I were you, I'd get The Programmer's Guide to Torque.

#13 K well im thinking of buying this:

1. TGE
2. Upgrade to TGEA(just as much as only TGEA)
3. jetbike pack
4. Torsion
5. ultimate unwrap
6. the Programmer's Guide to Torque

what do you think?

#14 Book: Advanced 3D Programming All in One


I on the other hand dont think you should buy the Jetbike pack. It sucks imho. I cant see that you're mentioning making a bike game, but I have done some work on bikes, and that is NOT the way to go.

If you're not an artist I would suggest you buy some content packs you could use with your first product or get someone to do it for you.

But as Tim also mentions, the books are really the first weapon you need in the Arsenal that is Torque.

#15 Flowers for your girlfriend.

#16 Give the money to a good course.. i/e the "Help Joseph buy pizzas for life fund" :)

#17 Flight Game Example :-) Teaches a lot and gives a handy example on top (30 US$).

#18 I think you'd get the most for your money out of GPGT book, Torsion, or UU (in that order).

Wait -- you don't have TGE yet?

#19 .

#20 Man i never made a topic that is so much replyed.

well ill try to say something to all of you:


James Laker (BurNinG)::: k well i am an artist i make things in photoshop 7.0, and i make 3d models.
and i want to learn how to good unwrap, and an other artist recommended me to buy ultimate unwrap.
so i thought well why not.
and jup im positive that im going to buy the book.

Alienforce::: i always have money for that. (lol)

Joseph Helm::: lol, and give me an example of a good course. thanks

Martin Schultz::: aaah i never saw that befor, i will check it out. thanks for the idea.

Ray Depew::: good idea, and nop i dont have it jet, but i am going to buy that with other things. (and im going to buy TGE and then the upgrade to TGEA, then i have both and i will have the show tool.
its just as much as just buying only TGEA)

Berserk::: HAHA lol, Jup 5 roses and the most important with woman, CHOCOLATE. lol ;)
about the torsion/codeweaver problem, well i always dislike free programs, i meen like opensource.
