Can DeleD export to a .t3d (Unreal Text) file? I have a game that comes with an editor, but the editor is a piece of junk. The only problem is, the game uses a proprietary format. The editor can only import Unreal Text.

I didn't even know there was such a thing as an Unreal textformat. Smile

Anyway, DeleD doesn't export to that format but you could write an export plugin for that purpose. Only problem is that we haven't been able to write proper user-documentation for the plugin system yet though.

I have only minimal knowledge of coding, I would write one ecept for that. I didn't know there was one before today either.

What game and editor would that be that exports to t3d and is not Unreal?

UnrealEd is junk? Surprised

lol It doesn't get any better than UnrealEd. Your best bet is to find the UnrealEd tutorial site, and learn to use it.

The game is The Wheel of Time and it is the Unreal Editor, but I don't like the setup of it. I may be against the rest of you, but I stick with my opinion. It is only an opinion.

Oh, by the way. Is there a free game that I can get that can use the map that I make with DeleD?

Check this out. There are some sites there that can help you use your editor. The biggest different between it and other editors is the fact that you cut space out, instead of adding objects.

Making a room is a simple as dragging a cube out, and cutting it out the world. And the to make a hallway, you just cut out another cube... this is a lot faster, and a lot less messy than other editors, also, you've used a lot less polygons to do it.

If you want to add objects into that room, you can draw more objects, and subtract them back into the world. It's really easy.

That explaination is confusing, subtracting them back into the world?

In other editors... you start with nothing. And you add objects.. into the empty space. If you wanted a room, you made cubes for the floor and walls and the ceiling.

In UnrealEd, you started with a full world. It was like a big block. A solid one. Say you wanted a big room.. You would drag out the shape of a cube.. and carve it out of the solid block.... This gives you some empty room to start modelling stuff in.. the sides of the cube pointed inward, and that one cube was a room. Now this 'room' is empty space you can add shapes in. You can't add anything outside of the empty space you made, because it's solid. Smile

Kind of like craving out of rock... if you want a pole in the middle of a room you made a cylnder selection in the middle of that room, and 'added' it back to the solid world.

Very hard to explain.. But it's a great editor.. I wish I had wheel of time back in the day to learn it on, instead of unreal 1.

Do you have WoT now? If so, what's your name? I get the explaination now.
