TRON Posted February 5, 2015 Share Posted February 5, 2015 (edited) What about Resources? Here's my idea:Resources (top-level) forum:Lock-out creating threads in this forum, however have it in a mode to display everything in it's subforums, and instead have users post resources in the following subforums. Ideally treated as categories:ContentAssets and other content related resources.C++Engine/C++ side resources or modifications if you will.TorqueScriptScripting side resources.ToolsSoftware tools resources like asset generators, editors, or even possibly tutorials on using a software program.

LukasPJ Posted February 5, 2015 Share Posted February 5, 2015 Well, I agree that we should have resources, I'm just not sure exactly how to do it yet, because there are 2 kinds of resources:Tutorials "Here's how you do it"Actual resources "I did this, see if you can get it working too!"I.e. levels of hand-holding. I still need to figure out how to support that in a nice way :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timmy Posted February 10, 2015 Share Posted February 10, 2015 Hey can we add a resource section to these forums? I think the resource section from over at GG was actually handy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LukasPJ Posted February 10, 2015 Share Posted February 10, 2015 Also discussed here.I agree we should have a resource section, just working on how it should it look :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LukasPJ Posted February 10, 2015 Share Posted February 10, 2015 Sorry i missed that, just trying to help.Ah didn't call you out on it. I think it's a good idea to have a dedicated thread for this discussion, and feel free to pitch in on that discussion.For good measure, I moved the other comments here.

LukasPJ Posted February 10, 2015 Share Posted February 10, 2015 What about, all the different forums (Beginner, rendering etc.) have a "Resources" and a "Tutorials" subforum? I think that would work out fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRON Posted February 10, 2015 Author Share Posted February 10, 2015 That would complicate searching if somebody just wishes to search under resources forums instead of the entire Torque 3D forum.I think "Torque 3D" category should be renamed to "Development" and just recreate the forums in "Development" for Resources (& Tutorials?) category minus Beginner forum.

LukasPJ Posted February 11, 2015 Share Posted February 11, 2015 It just seems odd to have 2 parent forums for effectively the same categories.Like engine development has 2 homes and scripting has 2 homes etc. Also searching can be done specifically on selected subforums, so you could search under just "engine/resources" and "scripting/resources" if you wanted to.

LukasPJ Posted February 14, 2015 Share Posted February 14, 2015 Well, mostly because categories. It'd be nice to have like "artist resouces" "coding resources" "script resources" or something like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Azaezel Posted February 14, 2015 Share Posted February 14, 2015 Would say given how much typical overlap there is, general resources and subcategories for art- script -source- only mods, if you want to be specific about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
