Platformer Kit 3.0
by Ian Douglas · in Torque X Platformer Kit · 07/02/2009 (8:43 am) · 6 replies
Perhaps this has been out for a while and I haven't noticed- I don't see a blog post about it, and I haven't seen any forum posts about it... I just recently got Torque X 2D and have been trying to learn it, and I really needed the PSK to facilitate that. Thus I was very sad that I had to jump through hoops with Visual Studio 2005, XNA 2.0, etc...
But, now 3.0 is out and it works perfectly with TX2D 3.0, VS2008 and XNA 3.1!! Thank the lord. So, am I crazy, did I miss some announcement? Is there anything substantially new, or is it "just" support for the newest softwares?

I can't get it to install looking in the logs it wants to register the templates with VS2005.

I have both 2005 and 2008 on my system and it still won't install.

What I did do to get the files was use msiexec to extract all the files, then just copy the templates to the My Templates directory. I was then able to start Visual Studio and successfully create a platformer demo. It will also have the help documentation in the extracted files.

If you were getting the install problem where it is almost done, then rolls back because of a missing program, the problem is that the installer still has the requirement that the Express version of VS be installed first in order for the PSK installation to work. That's just how it was written and unfortunately has never been corrected.

I'm just downloading it now and crossing fingers that it fixes my problem.
Thanks for the post though, foolishly I probably would never have checked "My Products"
