Wooters.

I'm working on it with Ishbuu too ;)
I'm giving Ish ideas, helping him, contributing with some chapters...
But we gotta thank Ish, without him nobody would actually do scripting tuturials even if many scriptors had it planned.

1st Bonus Chapter - Lockup Creation
Will only be released when the rest of the chapters get to it's level (it includes scripts that are more complicated than the introductory part)
This chapter tells the scriptors the bad ways to use TSL that could lead to a lockup or a TT reinstall, and how to get arround them.

Excellent first tutorial - I understood everything you explained and I learned exactly what you wanted me to learn. :)
I can't wait for the next one!!

Glad its ok reading :)

Almost done writing up chapter 2, I'll probably have 2, 3, and 4 uploaded tomorrow (thanks for the server space art!) and mebbe 5 if I get around to it.

[Ishbuu]

Oh my gosh! Excellent tutorial! I didn't even know about those things before I read those! Very well done instructions Ishbuu! I hope I'll still get through all chapters easily and understanding them fully! XD

-CUC-

Could you make it so you don't have to scroll from side to side, thanks. For some more general help in scripting for TGE go to Scripting For The Torque Game Engine . Good job guys! B)

Bomber - I considered just pointing people to that, but I decided to write a more complete and "personalized" explination just for ThinkTanks :) Oh and chapter 4 is done now, when I catch Art tomorrow I *hope* that he'll upload the new chapters XD

[Ishbuu]

Now I'll wait for Ishh to get on and then I'll upload all the Chapters!
I'll also put the link here of Bonus Chapter 1 when the rest gets here... As Chapter 4 is enough for it :)

Me and art are uploading the new stuff, C3 is up now :)

Cool stuff! I think I'm understanding most of it. :P

Could you do some thing on timers. EX for every 10 seconds you scroe a point in goal or when you have the scrum.

Thats more complicated, if we do it expect to be like Bonus Chapter Number 10 or something :P

This is NOT that specific bomber. It teaches you methods, you're gonna have to put them together. It takes a lot longer to write these than it takes to read, please don't whine about that.

Bonus Chapter #1 Released! Be sure to have read at least till Chapter 3 before reading it!

This is awesome for all those who dont understand this stuff
and it is also awesome that these tutorials are being released pretty fast
keep up the good work Ishbuu IBotI and Art Crazy© !!! :P

Ughh to hard for me I understand first chapter a lot but the second and third
way out of my area my head hurts X/ I got to try C++ later I to young for it lol...

If art ever finishes chapter 4 (muahaha) it should be uploaded XD I'm doing some work on Chapter 5 right now, No information on it yet. And Rob, it just takes some time/devotion/lack of life :)

[Ishbuu]

Wohoo! Finished Chap. 4! Now Ish, come back and update your post :)

Ishbuu- I was just asking a simple question sorry. Think about it, all the good non-n00b mods use timers. It has many uses for scoring, it's just a thought...
Art- I understand it's a hard topic, I'm fine if it's not covered.

Bonus Chapter 3 is comin' up soon! 'Porting Your Scripts'...

Well, it does, but an integer can be false/true: true = 1, false = 0
That functions returns or 0, or 1... So it wasnt that mistake :)

Yawn... Mornin

Uploaded Bonus Chapter 3 - Porting, straight from Chilled Lizard :) Sorry skipped BC2 untill I finish the next tutorial :) C5 Is a bit longer, cause I wrote a whole new gametype and I've been out the past few days...

[Ishbuu]

Explosive response!

Sorry about the big delay for C5, mebbe tomorrow it should be done - C6 might be done tomorrow, depending on how fast I type.

[Ishbuu]

Thanks A lot, cant wait for the others!!!

PS : I nearly jumped out of my seat when I read bonus chapter 3 lol

What made you jump out of your seat? :)

@All, please don't view BC3 in Firefox, it gets all messed up doesn't work properly.

Can you write more function things, how to make the base for KOTH or something?
I can make a small game type with functions :)

Chapter 5 walks you through all the thoughts that went through my head while redoing my KOTH mod. The walkthrough covers everything up to that point, gives examples of timers, scoring, and shows you while loops, which are covered in BC2 :)

Yay good work ish and art! %)

***BUMP*** :)

Sorry about lack of updates, I'm in the middle of switching computers and... It takes a while :[ will finish all my PTT obligations when new comp is working and online.

Um....
bump?

@Chilled I thought the text would be the same size as the others....
But it is in like 100 size font!!!!!!

Ack forgot about my 5th chapter. *gets started*

[Ishbuu]

Uhh.... Spark, DON'T USE FIREFOX. Well, actually, use it, just don't use it to view my tutorial. Use Safari or... *eek* Internet Explorer. :)

Or Opera! Works fine in the best browser of all time IMO!

Don't be befuddled by CL's baised comments. Looks as though he stopped watching Microsofts progession after the Windows 95 release. Which obviously explains why he remains so ignorant on the subject.

Not referring to IE, use FireFox if you can.

Woah, looking at all of that swirls up all sorts of wierd and confusing memories.

Ishbuu, glad to see you're still at it. Keep up the good work, and thanks for saying the modding community sucks. Nice. :)

Nathan, how the hell have you been buddy?
Good to hear you're thinking about coming back. :)

Cor Blimey These help loads!! Especially the CADD one. Time to do some %tank.hurtMe(100); (MWUHAHAHAHA)

That windows crashing is old, I downloaded that a very long time ago, still funny to watch though!

Use Safari !! Safari Will rule the world !! DOWN WITH FIREFOX!! Internet Explorer - One word, "HA"

Last edited: Wednesday, August 03, 2005 at 4:30:40 AM

Go Safari! %) Welcome back Nathan, im Clown IBotI, do u remember me?

Last edited: Wednesday, August 03, 2005 at 5:35:28 AM

Wohoo Nate is back! Is it for good or are you going back to the grave again? :(

He never said he was coming back. He said he was THINKING about coming back.

LOL you think my comments are biased? HA. You're talking to a person who used Windoze for 6 months and then sold it. It got on my nerves so much. It was so... BLAND compared to Mac OS X. I hate Microsoft's 'organization' in their 'Windows Explorer'. I wanted to throw it out... My friend has a $3000 windows machine and I've seen it crash on him numerous times.

As for the video, you think I didn't know that? I KNOW that Microsoft has somewhat improved their OS, but I put it in for a little laugh. I too saw that video some time ago. Do you think that I pay no attention to Micro$oft? Of course I do. AND as for the big text on Firefox, that's actually Microsoft's fault also, since you sound in the mood. TextEdit (which I wrote the guide in) doesn't export RTF directly to formatted HTML. I exported it to Word format, imported it into Word, exported in HTML, and SURPREISE SURPRISE! None of the indenting worked (Word killed it), and the text was quadruple size. You happy now? Good.

A lesson in flaming - never ask questions and then answer them. :P

Yeah, I'm Thinking about coming back. (Pressed Ctrl B there... Geeze I'm old) Yes, I remember you clown|bot|. I remember everyone. Except you there, spunky. Never heard of you before. XD

Anyway, it's late. Time for sleep.

%nathan.sleeptime(28800);

Need to script sleeping tanks, with emitter looking: ZzzZzZzzzZ :)

Nate, I think this would be better :P

                                        

                                        %ArtCrazy.gotosleep(%energy)

                                        %ArtCrazy.schedule(28800, false, "wakeup",%wantedenergy);

                                        

You still have a talent for it nate! Dont give up and COME BACK!!! We need a good modder like you!
Restart the Space Station MOD! We were all waiting! :)

PS: I want you to check my latest project :)

Nathan wouldn't understand that art, I did all of his script :P He's just a good mod maker.... Oh boy I had better start running now...
