unreal editor

[$inergy 19]

Is it possible to design a TO map in unreal editor 3 or 4? Or do you have to use the original one?

[ZEE.WONK 133]

Unreal editor 2 is for TO and UT99.

I downloaded the editor out of curiosity, but I can't get the axisIndicator to show. any idea how to solve that?

Whats axisinticator?

[$inergy 19]

the blue yellow and red arrow, to move your objects easily along the x-axis, y-axis and z-axis

[ZEE.WONK 133]

Ehm what version of Ued you have?

[Pillarist 12]

He thinks an axis is in every editor, but its not.

UED works in a total different way then the source hammer does if you are refering to that one.

You have to use shfit and control in combination with your mouse to drag a brush or the camera view.

You can add me on fb if you want, ill answer questions you'd like answered

Im Ting Dos  on Fb with a picture of a spooked charlie sheen o.o

 

Cryengine makes great use of the axis thingy imo

Works decent but UED works as good, its just some getting used to if you are familiar with the axis mechanic.

Was wondering
If any other version of ued using that.

Here u Add, Substract, etc

Hold crtl + left mouse to ve the object.

ctrl+A=Add
ctrl+S=Substract

Or use menu bar.

[Pillarist 12]

Ah you use the shortcuts Zee?

I always use the menubar hehe

[ZEE.WONK 133]

Yes i use some short cuts and some extra bars ;P

Also using Extended Toolbar and some costume brushes(tarquin)

[Pillarist 12]

Cool I dun have those extentions, just basic

[$inergy 19]

I don't really have time to make a map.... I really was just curious about it.

I tried it out a bit and it seems like fun, but also very frustrating

It's easy to learn snake-korn had a site but seems to be off =(

One tip though, SnakeKorn's tutorial is not using the grid that it should, if you create more complex maps it will create (major) issues. Sometimes will even end up corrupting your map because it can crash when loading the unr file in the editor, or even remake the whole thing with correct values because you cannot get rid of the bsp holes.

Quote

• Put brushes on the grid (see Keeping brushes snapped to the grid). If your brush dimensions aren't grid units (e.g. 100 units wide instead of 96, 112 or 128, then you have angered the UnrealEd Goblin. You'll have to remake them. Tough.)

 

For example; he creates a brush at the water part using 256x500x500.

You can't use 500, but you can use 512.  UED uses those values because it HAS to.

I'm not sure if all of his tuts are based on those 500 instead of 512 thingy, but miscalculating or unknowingly use the wrong values will create BSP holes.

Tutorials are good enough to learn though! BUT its crucial to know how maps are made technically to continue building big detailed maps with complex mechanics.

Id say use only 8-16-32-64-96-128-192-256-320-512-1024-2048. Or calculate which ones r in between

Per map I usually open calculator to calculate which size I need about 1000 times atleast.

Ye i always using the 16,32,64 etc.

Took a while before i learned the measure's to use

But a very simple & well explained tutorials for "newbs"

[Pillarist 12]

Totally agree
