Dash explained a way to launch the torque demo with all TT's objects and terrains ready to go, but this way is easier. Simply follow these fairly simple steps:

1)Download the torque demo, put it at program files/torque demo.

2)Copy the "demo" folder into the torque root folder. (It should now be named "copy of demo").

3)Rename that new folder "game".

4)In the "demo" folder, create a new batch file. (You can copy any of the files from Thinktanks' "dedicated" folder, and paste it)

5)Right click on that batch file, and choose "edit". Change the text to the following:
cd..
demo -mod game

6)Save and close the batch file.

7)Add TT shapes and terrains to your new "game" folder.

8)Double click the new batch file (it may take a while to do anything, just wait) , launch up the FPS example game, and press F11. (I won't tell you how to run the world editor/terrain editor, that's a different tutorial).

There ya go! If you have any questions, please post! :P

When your in the FPS example game should every thing look like it does in TT, because it look just how it normaly is when I was in it. With you being the shooter guy and every thing.

And where can I get this tutorial. XD

No, it will still be like the normal FPS example because all Torque's stock objects will be there, but it's easy to pick objects and terrains from lists to change them.

I have yet to find the difficulity in running the TGE... :S

Nathan I still dont get it and what does it do ? When u do what u said ?

I don't get it, how can I edit the TT terrain if I can't even see it? Even in the editor I can't see the TT terrain. I'll keep tring.

I followed your instuctions and this is what I get when I press F11.

What did I miss?

You have to start the FPS example. You have to creat a server. Then press F11.

W00t w00t, thanks Nate.

You mean t00t p00t!

Do I create the server in the FPS example or TT? If in the FPS example, then how long do I have to wait before something happens?

In the torque demo.

And by the way, this technique works in TT too if you want to have a game with mods, and a game without ;)

How do I load it into TT? When I load it with the default textures into TT, it says "Invalid Packet" and "diffrent terrain being used on servers", how can I fix this?

Iv got the same problem :[

I Can't Find The Torque Root Folder Is it in The program Files?

_{Last edited:You'll Never Take me Alive Cops!}

This is What I get Okay I fininshed Making MY New "terrian" I saved It as new Mission Put that as my terrian FIle (It was a ter File)But Would I Have to bring the Mis File for my new Terrian to the Data folder?

BUMP!!

Wont let me type in the console

Wont let me type in the console

Hey nathan see me in game

Ok Nathan, I could use a little help. When I go into my program files, torque demo, I have 4 folders named as follows: rw, common, game, and demo. Which one of these do I copy to wat?? Plz help thnxs

This may sound stupid but what do I use to edit the bat file?

Anyone?

Right click on it, choose edit, it will do it automaticly. XD

And I did that it would not let me type in da console what now.

Ohhhh I get it now

Nvm still didnt work

You don't type in the console window, you edit the batch file that OPENS the console window. (Btw, it's not console, it's command prompt)

What does the batch file has to be called and is that right that when I doubleclick it it comes up for about 3 seconds and then goes.

I can't do it because I have mac :'(

I have got TGE nd I've made a terrain, but It bring up this dodgy terrain thing, could anyone help me out!?

Wheres dash's original totorial thing?

1. Goto menards and buy a torque wrench
2. Use the wrench to remove the bolts from the engine head of your vehicle (the head is the cover that protects the pistons)
3. Drop a small bolt into each hole
3. Replace the head
4. Then start the engine

Then you engine will be "torqued"

B

And rattle and explode, not exaclty what I was looking for

Where is this?

That's exactly what this thread is SUPPOSED to be about.... 8(

I did it, and only the textures come up...
Not the objects...
And it still wont load TT tearins...

I made the folder capoied from the original folder, I made the bat...
With this text:
cd..
demo -mod game

And then I copied all the missions, teraians, and shapes into the proper places...

I can oly use the TT textures... THe objects arent availible in the list of objects, unless I'm stupid and cant find em somehow
And It will load the missions, but the train just goes poof

What did I do wrong?

Look under "static shapes", not "shapes", "interiors", or "mission objects".

Hmmmmmm in the dune buggy example it has a set of ramps or jumps how do I make those or use them?

You can't, they are interiors.

Dash, thnx for the advice, here's an old question I can't find an answer to. Is there a way to use the Torque demo to edit TT missions or terrains? If yes, please tell us how.

Thanks for sharing what you know.

For some oddball reason, it doesn't want to open them. However, tinker around a bit, if you find out how, be sure to let everyone know, I'm sure it would be usefull to alot of people. :)

Cant find torque root folder
WHAT IS THE TORQUE ROOT FOLDER WEREW DO U DOWN LOAD IT OR WERE IS IT
plz answer several people have asked
