Why is it called TorqueScript and the files saved as .cs?

It's .cs because it was originally called C Script, I think. C# didn't exist back in the days of Tribes, either :)

@Ronny - Ding! Correct. .cs stands for C Sscripts. It is a proprietary scripting language used by Torque Tech. Very similar to C or C++

A bit of random useless knowledge:

Generically called C-like script. The extension goes all the way back to the last century -- even before Torque was called Torque and yes it also existed before C# which is the language that most non-Torque developers link it to. It was also used for a short time as the extension/abbreaviation of an obscure programming language back in the 80's that apparently never caught on -- I still have a 5 1/4-inch floppy disk with the CS compiler and syntax library on it.

Symbol for cesium.
