New Torque TER plugin
Posted: Mon Jul 13, 2009 12:20 pm
Hi Everyone,
In the latest developmental build of L3DT Pro (v2.7 build 20, on the downloads page now) you will find a new plugin for generating TER files for TGE/TGEA (Torque Game Engine / Advanced). If you're not sure how to download developmental build updates, please refer to the How can I download updates? question in the FAQ.
To use the plugin, simply select the 'File->Export->Export Torque TER file' menu option (for exporting) or 'File->Import->Import Torque TER file' (for importing). The relatively complete userguide for this plugin is on-line here:

Please note this plugin has been tested with TGEA 1.7.1 only, and is not yet guaranteed to make TER files that are compatible with TGE or T3D. They may be compatible, but I don't know yet. The plugin works smoothly in my tests, but your mileage may vary, since you may use other settings that I've not tested yet.
Anyway, here's a quick picture of the output. This is a custom L3DT map rendering in the 'Stronghold' demo of TGEA:
Please reply to this forum thread if you find any problems, would like to make suggestions, or even if it just works properly for you. Happy using / testing!
Cheerio,
Aaron.
