Hello. I want to make better add-ons. I want to know where I can learn easily.

Hi.

Here's a good site to learn the basics: http://tsforblockland.weebly.com

That site has some issues.  For starters, winrar is in no way required.  Not only can you zip files without third party programs (unless you are on mac probably), but you don't need to generate zip files unless you want to distribute your add-on.  You don't need namecheck.txt ever and that can only cause problems when you are making add-ons.  This site writes its tutorials as if the code will be evaluated in real time (aka typing into console) but tells the user to write code in the add-ons folder.  The user can only find the output by looking through hundreds of lines of console logging.  A new coder will probably not be aware of things like exec() and using the console.

Wait what no you can zip and unzip files just fine from out of the box mac.

There is no easy route. I've been trying for over a year and seen little success. However, I have a few useful links for you:

Look at the code in the add-ons you find. That is a great way to learn new functions, expecially if they are well commented. Example: //This function causes player deaths to display a message to the server.

Very great for learning the syntax of Torque Script.

Great for learning how to package a Gamemode. Gamemodes are great for storing and releasing files for a server.

If you ever want help, don't be afraid to ask others who are experienced.

I run a Torquescript wiki that a number of users here have helped write tutorials on.

Last time I tired to get on the site it was down. Glad it is still up!

I've had to pull it down a few times due to a huge amount of bots that constantly try to spam it. The questycaptcha keeps them from doing anything, but it still doesn't seem to stop them from trying, ever. It's horrible.
