Torchlight - Preditor Series 1 - Part 1 of 3

[buddyp450]

I love his file structure. Remotely impossible to be that organized for me lol. It's like one folder with everything in it and then another folder with anything that's not associated with a room.

[DungeonCrawling]

If you know basic C++ coding language and have used Visual Studios before, then this easy. (:

[messi996]

@DungeonCrawling aye but this is a hole new level of easyness lol this is more like gamemaker . you need no coding experince to do the stuff shown there which i think is great, because not all the great level designers can code or want to learn to code so this sets them free to make great levels with no restrictions :D

[blarson12]

Wow now that i know that, i'm a ganna make TL3.

[IrwinJohnFinster]

A GUI for the scripting interface? That's got to be the smartest thing I've ever seen. Most modders hit a brick wall after tons of work when they have to learn the scripting system. But this looks really good. All the syntax has been taken out of scripting and all that's left is the logic and decision-making. I'm sorry, but that's just brilliance right there.

[mickadude]

alright so I wanna know: how do you download this program? is it devs only? and if we can do we need a computer version to be allowed to download it? (because i purchased it on xbox and I don't really want to buy it two times)

[messi996]

@mickadude you need the computer version i think made i am afraid modding still hasnt come to consoles in a big way yet , it mite come to ps3 soon enough but from what i seen in up coming games and from what games devs had said the xbox may never get it until the 720

[rancorx]

thanks for the great tutorial much appreciated =]

[Gwright9000]

How does he get that wall stretching down into the darkness?

How does he get torches? Does he have to do something special to make the torches produce light? (lol torchlight lol)

Help! Someone please! 

[bink2112]

Great video Patrick! Thanks a ton, I'm going to be trying out the editor myself today...hope to eventually make some stuff that will be fun for some of my friends who own TL to play!

[mcrazorbladeable]

i dont even know how to makes lights n stuff oO

[Demonthief57]

Any one else got the problem of not being able to see the door_up_triggered?

[simpsoncheat]

where can I get PrEditor

[verveeldearnomiem]

awesome, i'never mod before, but i will try it with this game for sure :P

[edelskovknight]

Wow looks hard but i guess you get better

[UKbestassassin]

well done for making a fun game and thanks fo this video

[user696969]

modding is NOT this easy i've been fucking with it for 30 minutes and have not been able to do anything, the screen is still black, epic fail runic

[erikouwehand]

@user696969 hahah patience!, modding for half life, counter strike , l4d , took me 2 years to understand, now its very cool, but there always things to learn. Compare it to music, you cant learn playing music in one day, but in years ,

[zozawalkthroughs]

thank u runic games for this guide it helps with the ediutor becuase 1st time i used it i waz confused as hell

[TrilogyLegend]

the word scripting scared me(lol).

[Ranzabar]

To make a player start, you have to create a new layer called 'properties' then a 'property node'? Then to make a gate you create a "layout Link Timeline" ???

C'mon guys, you throw TorchED out there for us, make it rational please.

[zturner972]

@Deathbreak911

Its not meant to be a "bring in the new mappers" tutorial, nor is it really a tutorial at all. All it is is a demonstration of what the editor can do, calling it a tutorial draws people in, and it actually is very interesting, though I do agree he could be a little more descriptive

[SilverMagics]

Watch my videos about Torchlight, i really try my best to document the editor to video with vocal commentary. Please give me a fair chance people.

[Deathbreak911]

This isn't a very good tutorial. For people who have used other editors, they won't have any problems following what you're saying, but there is a serious lack of explanation in this tutorial.

Not to sound like I don't appreciate the tutorial, I do and it was helpful, but I want everyone to be able to understand these so there can be a ton of content :D

[kruegda]

this is great, but how do I get to this point? I don't know how to build ANYTHING! I need a tutorial to teach me how to build a room like that. cuz if i can't build the room, how can I possibly hope to do all the things you just taught me in this vid??

[GameFreak22100]

why everytime i try to start up the editor it keeps loading and never comes up and if i press anything it keeps saying not responding....anyone know anything?

[Shiawuon]

@GameFreak22100 i had the same problem with the steam version do you use the steam version? have you tried the non-steam version? i'm installing the non steam right now hope it works

[Madcap888]

It's not actually frozen; at least in my case. It just takes a while to load so give it a few minutes even if it looks like it's stuck. (I'm using the Steam version in case anyone wants to know.)

[sidmax22]

its very cool game its coming out online free to play ?

the game need huge maps more class more boss it will be awesome

in online free to play ^^

[HaunterV]

20$ is great to support such a game. they will keep adding to it .

[Varsel01]

let's say you create a map.. How do you play it later then? I mean, where do you load the map when you wants to play it?

[KiLlA5321]

cyberdaemon is completely right idk how to make a room at all lmao

[mattlohkamp]

Wow - that visual flowchart scripting thing is wild! I'm super excited to try it, though.

[KiLlA5321]

Yes umm i need help making a room lol can u PLEASE help me?

[ph43x]

i cant wait to play with the level editor, good job, seems pretty simple to implement actions without needing to code it by hand.

[Zeta368peep]

this is like the warcraft 3 editor but 10 times better

[cyberdaemon]

In warcraft 3 editor i actually knew how to change the shape of a landscape and how to add details like trees and debris ;) In this editor , im total 0 , i could barely add a 3 floor platfroms , or was if like 4 ? :D

[Zeta368peep]

torchlight editor is basicly the warcraft III editor same pallates and that stuff

but warCraft 3 is easy everyone knows how to do the editor even my dog does I aint kidding

[HaunterV]

i like the scripting in this better. the warcraft editor scripting was too much towrap my head around.

[TheMuffin100]

I am the same :|

[HaunterV]

practice practice practice!

[cyberdaemon]

@HaunterV Then why any tutorial at all ? If you make a tutorial to an editor , i expect you to start from a basic concepts.

[HaunterV]

i never said anything about a tutorial. I just said I like the scripting in this better than war3ed

i only just figured out how to lay the floor myself.

My guess is torchED is pretty new since ive only found about 6 vids. But i putim all in a playlist so i can find them easy enough.

[cyberdaemon]

@HaunterV Either YOU are going to tell me yourself the basics or STFU ;)

[cyberdaemon]

What about basics tutoria ? He jumps right into middle of action without telling how to add walls , textures , objects , etc... I dont even know what these groups are for.

[DaFleegsta]

yea i know i tried adding basic floors and already im getting problems..

[klubenfortvis]

That program? Is that TorchED? Dosent look like wen you are on ED.

[JustAnotherGaian]

It looks like that for me.

[JustAnotherGaian]

Pretty similar, anyway.

[ahkin2]

Is it possible creat a mod that was his own storry and cinimatic if so how do you play it in the game.

i realy want to know. also is it possible to build a bigger torch light city ?

[Zeta368peep]

all of that is possible

[ahkin2]

Thanks man :D

[ThePanterWithoutTheH]

Is there a video about how to start building things with the editor`?

[Yrithion]

there should be a tutorial on how to start from nothing..

[bollar12]

Hey dude. How cna i download that tool program?''! =)

[ahkin2]

Type download TorchEd on google. than you will find it easy :)

[MetaSieg]

One of my favorite things in PC games is an editor. This one looks simple to use and your demonstration really makes me want to use it.

[AlexAJG094]

runic is a great company so far. torchlight rocks!! hmmm wernt most of the guys working for flagship before it went down because i remember wanting to play this game mythos really bad

[mfccmf]

good stuff, like super awesome unreal ed for TL.

goody question does any one know if runic coded both predator and torched? running on a mac and can only run the game in crossover windowed. no mono//net support for editors

[DesertRidgeline]

I think a very good video from Runic Games should cover building a simple level from black screen to hooking it up in the game and making it playable. That would be super useful, it seems there are many people that are struggling beyond the point of just creating a pretty level and can't figure out how to hook them up with all the different paths of where they should or shouldn't be saved. Pleaseeeee!

[socloseno]

wow awsome, i want to get this game now =D

[DesertRidgeline]

How did you rotate the playerstart propert node?

[thauller]

hold control and an arrow key

[DesertRidgeline]

Thanks. Much easier than using the tool at the top of the editor, much faster too.

[DesertRidgeline]

I think what would be really useful is telling us how you created the rooms to begin wth since in the editor we start off with a blank black slate.

[Dergamestar]

yeah that would be very nice if you know something new pls tell me :D

[15kalas15]

Wow this looks like a great editor.

[TheConfuesdOne]

where can i find this map maker if i got the game?

[WigglesThePirate]

Omg, its so user friendly. I planned on waiting for and getting diablo 3 instead, then I found out that they were having auto stats.

[AlexAJG094]

yea autostats blows.. makes the game pretty linear... since the game is being made for story unlike what we liked it for which was gameplay and insane loot

[lineridemidget]

"dont want the player to become immediatly surrounded by monsters," he said. Then how come in the next to last floor in the main dungeon had me so surrounded by monsters after a mandatory teleport that i had to spam health potion after health potion? That was, of course, after 2 deaths.

[Fudo94]

haha, u gotta be really bad then :D. I just spammed all my AOE attacks and used like 2 health potions. Then everything was pretty dead. Deastroyer "titan stomp" and shit

[Skonk2k]

From the video it appears to be one of the nicest editors i've seen.

Great tutorial too :)

[RxStylez]

When comes the editor out ? :P

[twilight1138]

It should come out on Monday if all goes well.

[Joskun]

can't wait zomg!!!

[Malndor]

Torchlight - Editor

Rocket-science made easy

Beautiful ^.^

I truly believe there are a lot of people who have a passion for modding and ideas that would make them welcomed members to the modding community, they just needed an editor that was complexity made simple. This is it.

No other game/company has impressed me as much with there window of opportunity for giving people a chance to show such talent.

Well-done.

[liquidmetaltech]

@Malndor

I agree they even made it very easy to delete the storyline. :D

Just refering to the fact that there is hardly one. :)

One concern of mine is do Runic Games own your mod due to a terms/conditions thing you agree to and forget about? or do you own it. It seems they like to plaguarise ideas, even if most *are* from their own previous games.

Just wish they would have plaguarised art from somewhere. :\

[narutolll]

@Malndor I agree! You HAVE to check out the Galaxy Editor for StarCraft 2 though.

[Doomzek]

I use to love making maps with the hammer editor in source engine, im sure this will hook me back into map making, looks awesome.

[teamaquadan]

Same here, besides, this editor is pretty similar in a lot of thing with hammer editor

[CabooseDaMan]

ooooo enjoyed it i did, torchlight is awsome!

[ac18634]

จะมี mod ต่างๆมาเมื่อไหร่หรอครับ รอเล่นออนไลอยุ่นะครับ

[catalincatala]

can't w8 for the editor...ideas are storming through my mind

[VaderGaming]

Oh my god, thank you so much for this Patrick, Torchlight is an awesome game and when I finish it I can't wait to start modding. I've done modding for Doom, Counter Strike (Valve's Hammer Editor) and other games, awesome!

[Pamplmoose]

it's supposed to come out this friday or monday.. translated out of dev time that means late next week ;p

[LTmido]

so the editor doesnt come with the game but it would later be release?

[SuperVictorius]

Hey, umm, where can I get the editor?

[markototev]

They will release it on their website in a week or so.

[toonami54]

Thanks Patrick! Very informative and seems like something I can dabble in... muhahahaha.

[Murdermaster]

Preditor...wasn't that the same name for Prey's Editor?

[Dayanth]

Yep.. They're going to rename the editor when they release it. TorchED is what I'm banking on the name. :-)

[shadowsteel5]

They said it was going to be called that, no need to wank on the name, sorry i mean bank.

[VaderGaming]

Yep.

[Dust24311]

Thanks for posting the tutorial. And to think I had to learn how to edit in UnrealEd on text forums and trial and error! Can't wait to make some levels!

[TyroneTasty]

Looks cool. This could be the first game I try to mod seriously.

[yoyo68y]

wow talk about all the new maps we could have all the new updates and stuff. xD

[syberslidder]

the fact that they are releasing these dev tools is amazing, they are so capable

[thauller]

That guy has no legs!

[darkcoug2]

Hey, do you guys have an example of skill/class editing with Preditor? This looks really fun.

[DJBassEnergy]

this game looks awesome! (and a little like diablo 3) but it got an easy editor like this?? thats cool :P

[Klingen83]

I haven't been looking forward to a game this much since Baldur's Gate 2. I want it now!

[Raxahiro]

Well done, can't wait to see more in action.

[Doomkilla771099]

Can't wait for this to come out.Just imagine how big this will be once it's released.

[Omnifas]

can't wait for Part 2, thank you

[starfly5]

nice job. looking forward to more.

[craigcaski1]

If these tools get embraced by the community this game could have endless replay value.

[getter7seven]

Fantastic preview of things to come---really like the event linking aspect.
