•••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••If you fail to duplicate your folders before you make changes it's your fault for not having a back up!!!********************************************************************************************************
I do not know if this applies to Shockwave versions as I have no access to a copy.
Be aware that directory paths and folder name
may have been changed. The core objective of this is to locate the data folder inside the TT application directory.
Normal player install: TGE install see below
1. Locate your ThinkTanks directory.
Windows:
Should be located C:\Program Files\BraveTree
Unless you changed the install path from the default.
Macintosh:
Macintosh/Applications/
(For example I have a games directory in which all of my games reside)
Mine is: Macintosh HD/ Applications/ Games/ ThinkTanks/
2. Duplicate your ThinkTanks folder.
Windows: (Control Drag) or Macintosh: (Option Drag) the TT folder. This will duplicate the folder. Rename it whatever you want.
OR
Mac and Win: You may also want to right click and choose copy, then right click and choose paste. This will also make a copy of the folder.
Locate the data folder.
Windows: C:\Program files\BraveTree\ThnnkTanks\game\data
Mac: In the Thinktanks folder right click on the ThinkTanks application, select "show package contents." Navigate through Contents/Resources/game/data/
3. Copy the data to the corresponding folders as indicated by the folders names.
A. "Copy contents to data folder" Which consists of environment, missions, terrains, and water folders, and the init.cs file.
B. "Copy contents to shapes folder' Which consists of Blue, Common, Green, markers, objects, organic, plants, Red, rocks, trees.
C. "Copy contents to skies folder" which has 58 sky related files in it.
D. "Copy contents to sound folder" which has 45 sound related files in it.
E. "Copy contents to terrains/details folder" which has 4 related files in it.
That's it.
TGE install
Here is what should be done prior to installing the expansion pack:
First steps (in Italics) are the same as prior to the creation of the tt_expansion_pack
(provided to me by Rooster) directed at Windows operating system
1. Download the torque demo, and install it to
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.
This section is specific to TGE and the expansion pack:
Section A: "Copy contents to data folder"
You may copy all folders from Copy contents to data folder and overwrite folders in data folder in TGE.
List includes: (Folders) environment, terrains, missions, and water
(files) init.cs.dso, init.cs.,
Section B: "Copy contents to shapes folder"
Blue, Common, Green, markers, plants, Red, rocks, trees are all the same as TGE, copying is not necessary.
Copy objects, and organic from "Copy contents to shapes folder" to shapes folder in TGE.
Section C: "Copy contents to skies folder"
Copy all files in "Copy contents to skies folder" to skies folder in TGE. Additional files added. Overwrite files.
Section D: "Copy contents to sounds folder"
Copy all files in "Copy contents to sound folder" to Sound folder in TGE. Additional sounds added. You should not need to overwrite.
That's it.
If you feel something was left out please let me know.
Expansion pack it current to Mod_Pack as of 10/25/05
