This is the first Torque Game Engine converted for Think Tanks including the Think Tanks upgrade data folder. (Before using any modders personal folder or game type items, you should ask permission.) There is no set up. Just download and run the installer.
In Approx 15 minutes on Team Viewer with any modder will save you a lot of time trying to figure it out. Catch me in game if interested.
