Torque X in 3D on Xbox

by Andy S. · in Torque X 2D · 10/09/2008 (10:55 am) · 6 replies

Just wanted to ask in the round, who can actually deploy something 3d to Xbox and run it? I still have no look, tried on the Pro forums, but there is not much traffic....so I ask again here, is there someone around who has a working dll and would share it?

Andy, have you downloaded and played around with the Torque X 3D Builder? You can grab the open beta from the Torque X general forums and deploy to your Xbox 360 with that. You also know that you need to have a creators club subscription from Microsoft in order to deploy ot the 360 too, right?

I'm not sure i'm getting at the root of your question, so if there is something more specific you can ask, I will try my best to answer.

Hi Kenneth, thanks for answering. I have the 3d Bulder, also I do own TX Pro and I have a creatos club subscription. I also can deploy to Xbox, as long as i stick with 2D. As soon as I deploy anything 3D, it simply does not run on the Xbox. Please have a look in the TorqueX Pro forums, there you can see where my problems are. Basically out of the box, a StarterGame 3D (Pro) does not run on the xbox, but a StarterGame 2D (Pro) does.

Very strange! Can you run the 3D starter kit just fine on your PC?

Yes, without problems. Just on the Xbox i get simply only a black screen. Did you check my post on the Torque X Pro Forum here http://www.garagegames.com/mg/forums/result.thread.php?qt=76012 ?
Have these issues described in the thread been fixed and the download files been updated? Do you know when GG plans to release the next update for TX? See i really want it to run on the XBOX, because I really like it, and the possibility to develop for my Xbox is very important to me....basically it was the most important factor when I bought Torque X Pro.

Terrain rendering has a problem on Xbox 360. There's a code fix for the Pro licensees and I posted a binary, but someone said that it wasn't working. If you remove the terrain (comment out the terrain block in the .txscene file), does your game run? That will help confirm that's the problem. The DLL was located here. You'll need to copy the DLL to your game project's folder, then edit your Xbox game project by removing the reference to the main Torque X assembly and replace it with a reference to this DLL. The good news is that the fix will roll out with the next version of the engine.
