The difference is that you can play this ingame. Instantly.
Which is awesome.
I really, really wish I could help, but I don't know too much about Torque. All I've been able to do is a very little bit of C++, very little bit of C#, and a lot of GML,
game maker language which I don't think will help me much with scripting on here. I'm sorry.
EDIT: Not to be a burden, but I can't WAIT until this is finished. It just sounds so awesome.
