thanks for these dude your epic

[newkey0010]

What version of UDK is this?

[kcin228]

@newkey0010 This is one of the earlier version. Some of the stuff still applies though. Although they don't do subtractive geomtery anymore. And when start it comes in with that environment setup. I will probably be posting a new tutorial explaining some of the new features.

[tlarson91119]

I have a problem, I've just got the UDK and I can't figure out how to get all 4 viewports to show. Can you tell me how to do that? thanks. :D

[clim1988]

@tlarson91119 Click the button in the top right of your window that looks like the "Restore" icon to get the four windows.

[bobiscool99]

How do you get the four windows? I just have the one

[asrtsss]

i dont have the 4 windows

[airsoft2win]

I'm in love with your tutorials.

[NobleProtocol]

talking Giberish to me you gotta teach us how to add areas and guns and what not cause you are talking to us like you know everything and we are like huh?

[kcin228]

@NobleProtocol I started making tutorials for the UDK I got up to 10 or so then. Unreal updated their engine making basically most of my tutorials useless. Because they got rid of Subtractive map making. I have planned on making newer tutorials teaching Additive map making. I have just been really busy seeing as I work in movies now. I don't have alot fo free time. I will try my best to get newer more up to date content out.

[inyourfacesociety]

Also, I don't get the gun standard in there.

[inyourfacesociety]

Holy smokes your computer has a lot of cpu cores!

[OnlyForComments1001]

When I hit play i don't have a gun. I still can move and jump, but with no gun. Thoughts?

[HexagonDzn]

@OnlyForComments1001 same problem.fix it yet?

[kcin228]

@HexagonDzn to start your level with gun and health you need to save your map as "DM-Mapname" excluding the qoutations and swap out mapname with your map name. Basically prefix your save file with DM- then you will spawn with guns and health.

[kcin228]

@MrClues1 hold the "L" key and left click the floor that will add a light then build your lighting.

[goldraptoredition]

@Techrave1 whats the diffence they both are kinda the SAME

[Techrave1]

@goldraptoredition internet explorer has alot more problems.....

[dontonipz]

Okey dude its great tut but it sems that my brush ist working properly cose firts i dont se the lite lines cubes then the CSG subtract dsnt work when i change the brush it dosn fill the area i`m using the new march UDK

[evilnat]

Yes is seems that the substractive option is gone, but if you import a map that is in substractive (from an older version), it will still work.

[ntwiles]

I have the newest version of UDK and I don't get the Subtractive/Additive option when I create a new file. Is there a way to change this option once the file is created?

[kcin228]

@ntwiles The newest versions don't have subtractive options it is all in additive I will be putting up a tutorial shortly on how to use the new editor. Sorry about the inconveince.

[clim1988]

@kcin228 Hey, did you ever get around to making the updated tutorial using additive?

[ITStheMARKEY]

@DoomFist94 thats the new 1, i had that but it doesn';t do it for me either so download an old 1 like the may 20010 version, it has additive and subtractive

[kcin228]

@DoomFist94 When it first starts up it doesn't give you a choice but when you goto File-New it should give one. If it isn't that seems like a weird bug. I would un-install and re-install.

[Maj0reRR0r]

@kcin228 Same thing happened to me. I don't see how it could be a bug. Maybe they just took that feature out?

[kcin228]

@BestTvSongs Gotta give me some more information, how does your program start out?

[hellstudios]

@kcin228 Mine starts out with one big view.

[kcin228]

@hellstudios Watch my UDK Tutorial 2-Interface. It explains how to Toggle between a maximized viewport and the quad viewports.

[dimaniac]

omg, that is the best tutorial for UDK, I have ever found!

THANK YOU!!!

[kcin228]

@dimaniac Thanks! =)

[Zkrudriverz]

awesome tutorial! sweeeeeeeet! but is ur name really nick stalker?

[kcin228]

@Zkrudriverz Nick Stocker, pronounced Stalker as in Your new furniture looks great from the front lawn or, Stock boy or Stock market. even live stock

[Zkrudriverz]

@kcin228 ahh! like stalkboy or stalkmarket, even live stalk?

[GeekyTechBoy]

When you first started your level how did you get that map thing in the corner.

[phobos001]

This is helpful, thanks :)

BTW. I cannot move the CSG Box, I am having trouble selecting it. (I select the window or go into camera mode instead) Any tips?

[theking199012]

few quetions. how do you make a cuysence ut lets say a ship is destroying a building how do u get the building to blew up. and how do u add weapons and take its on amo. last 3 how do you get online on it. and how do you add cover. what os a good computer to use udk

[kcin228]

@theking199012 Cutscene, later on in the series. Destroying a building later on in series. Weapons/Ammo/Health is my UDK Tutorial 7- Pickups.Online play as in multiplayer is a whole different subject, that I won't touch. Adding cover will probably not be put up, maybe though. I use a Windows 7 but the OS isn't as important as the specs of your computer.

[theking199012]

@kcin228 ok thanks 

[UndyingWrath]

Hello. i don't have UDK, but i do have unreal editor 3 that i got with Unreal Tournament 3 , is that the same? when i was asking around Gamespot.com, they said UDK and UE3 is completely different but it looks the same to me.

[kcin228]

@UndyingWrath They are different but the UDK is alot more powerful and it is free. Just google UDK, the good thing about having UT3 thought is you can use all the asset packagesthat came with the game is UDK.

[001Beast]

Oh, and last thing (for now), I'm sure lots of people would appreciate a tutorial on how to IMPORT stuff, something that has eluded me for ages -_-; Well, except for materials, which can still be a pain.

[001Beast]

Hey, nice! Just a quick question, did you ever get my PM about Top-Down games?

[kcin228]

@001Beast I did, I might get into it, but I am more of a heres the tools, figure it out sort of teacher. Rather then heres how to make a bad ass level type of teacher. Sure you will know how to make a top down game but how often are you going to use that if I show ya how to use Kismet though then you can build anything. Know what i mean?

[001Beast]

@kcin228 Yeah, it makes sense to me, and that's actually how I prefer to learn. I only mention it kuz I actually learned Kismet through the creation of a Top-Down Game. Kismet is kinda hard to teach without going through every command seperately and spending tons of time on it, as I've learned from trying to teach friends.

On another note, your tutorials taught me a lot, especially Warfare. I'm working on a map right now and might throw up a slightly more in depth tutorial on my second acc.

[001Beast]

@001Beast (continued) By more in depth I mean like Warfare teleporters that you can select nodes from, standalone nodes, stuff like that.
