  • How can I delete an added or substracted cube if I don't need anymore?

  • @ClementineFlFlFl

    i was always able to select them in one of the 2D viewports. They light up if you do. Then you can right-click and delete. You need to rebuild geometry before you see the effect

  • @antalz Ahh, rebuild geometry yes. Now it's all okay; thank you!! 

  • @ClementineFlFlFl switch to 3d wireframe, select, delete then rebuild. You can also select them in the 3d textured view by holding down shift and clicking on the intrusive brush

  • Is the texture package included when you download UE? I can't find it

  • @Hivenik

    The textures come included with Unreal tournament. If you use a different Uengine game, you should have other texture packs. Open any .utx file from the texture browser to see if you got textures you can work with. Whatever game you have, all .utx texture files should be in a /textures foldes

  • @Hivenik you can import any texture you want from the texture window (file/import) if: it is a pcx or bmp format. it has a resolution of 128x128 or 256x256 etc. ive made tons of custom textures this way. you can also use texture packs from games like Rune (it uses utx texture packs)

  • Comment removed

  • Great video, i saw it lots of times LoL

    How can I delete a cube ?

  • Acid reflux? Nah jk great video.

  • I did something to mine... And the space that dynamic lights, top, front and sides is suppose to be... Are all missing when ever I start the editor! Leaving a big, blank, white space... Of nothing... D;

  • @hydraphilic

    I think you need to reset your viewports. It should be under view->viewports in the top dropdown menus. It should give you a menu where you can pick 4 different viewport configurations. Pick one, and u should get your viewports back

  • also how do I put in an elevator. I've made the mover brush, elevator exit and elevator center points but it still doesn't work.

  • hey i cant edit the verticies and it's annoying because im editing a map and the cube piece has an angle on one of the sides and i cant get it back to a normal cube/rectangular prism

  • I can't even FIND the cube button. I'm missing a lot of buttons....

  • @Thejin2027

    Could be that your interface isn't set up properly. I wouldnt know where to start fixing it though, maybe under view. Your interface doesn't look at all like the video?

  • @antalz Nevermind, a friend of mine who is a mapper and uses Unreal Ed walked me through and helped fix the problem.

  • i cant move my camera

    whats the problem?

  • @MrFRIENDZEE

    Try holding your mouse pointer in one of the four viewports before you try to move around, or reinstalling the editor. Besides that, i have no idea i'm afraid

  • I have Republic Commando; It all should be the same as this, Right? It uses the Unreal 3d engine as well

  • where lesson 2?

  • @grimlinmonk

    isn't coming im afraid. I'll try to answer questions you have, but it's been a long time since i last used the editor

  • did you get this software for free?

  • @iiAN4NTii

    No, comes with unreal tournament. Some other unreal engine games come with this or another version of the editor

  • whenever i add material inside a cube, it doesn't work, it actually ruins the cube, can anybody help?

  • @ryumitch1

    You mean you place an additive brush inside the substracted cube?

  • Hey when i opened Shanechurch it opened somthing else!

  • @Kornifnotthendie

    That's pretty weird. Did it open up something usable? If my memory serves me right, crypt, crypt2, UTtech1, are also usable packages. The map will look a bit different but that's not huge problem

  • @antalz whats the best unreal ed for postal and can you make skins and model swaps like making the character that you play as a girl

  • @MrAndrecostinha

    I know it's possible to import models and skins, and with Uscript u can achieve a lot of stuff as well, but i've never used any of that. I only made maps =]

  • @antalz but can you try working on that ? and where can i get uscript??!

  • @MrAndrecostinha

    I don't have UED installed, i don't work with it anymore. Uscript is integrated into the editor, but you'd have to find external guides to see how it works. I don't have a clue really

  • Hey how did u figure this out?

  • Great vid! Do you know anywhere were I can download this software from?

  • @predator20101

    you could buy unreal tournament 99 from steam. Though i must say the game itself is pretty much dead. Unfortunately, UT2004 and UT3 aren't doing good either. Might be worth it for the practice, but i dont expect any maps to be played much

  • @antalz that's not true the game is not that there are still alot of players like I =)

  • how to spin the epaces around?

  • @2008ViToR8002

    hold down ctrl, then hold leftmouse and drag. The axis of rotation depends on which viewport ur working in. With 3d viewport you can hold left, right, and both mouse buttons to rotate about different axes, but i've never used that.

  • i cant move my camera what is the problem.

    

  • can you make skins with unrealed 2?

  • @LesleyHeart1

    I know there are many many skins in the UTX texture files. I gues what you could do is export them, edit them, then import the result and use that as a skin. Though if you want to create skins from scratch for instance that's gonna be annoying as hell

  • Im gonna create a Deus Ex mod with this!

  • Wher can i download the all textures for this program?? Well, Ineed to download as necesary as posible to create my own maps. I only have the editor.

  • @PARI8105144

    The easiest way is to get the entire game, so you get all it's textures. There is a tedious way to import bitmaps as your own textures, but that means you need some pictures that make decent textures.

  • Ok man, i add a cube, increase the area to what ever, hit subtract, and the hole thing turns to a red color, and not blue, i add texture but is red and when i play it it has the texture and the first i watched this and built with it, i was in the map, and killing bots and etc. but now i enter my map and i keep dying and dying and left a small crater. WTF! i know its not you, but i need a more specific tutorial. please reply.

  • @RoughandSmall

    I don't completely understand the problem i think. If you leave a small crater when you spawn, but otherwise the map is fine, you must probably rebuild the geometry. Adding a few more playerstarts could also help.

    If you hit substract, then drag your red builder cube away, do you see a brown cube?

  • @antalz oh thanks man, very detailed now

  • @antalz wait actually no, i thought that would work but no. don't the problem. any ideas of this mystery??????????

  • @RoughandSmall

    Still not getting entirely what's going on. Do you get a cube you can spawn in? are your textures messed up?

  • @antalz i dont know, I put a cube,turns red,i can place actors in it and i place a spawner, then i add some texture that i cant see and is still red,i rebuild geo., i play the map and the texture is there but not on the editer, i think i didnt download it all the way, ill try to reinstall

  • @RoughandSmall

    what should happen is that you start out with a red builder cube. When you hit substract, you can see a brown wireframe added to the map. This wireframe becomes visible in your 2d viewports if you drag the original red builder cube away.

    I think your 3d viewport is not set up correctly. There are 5 small buttons that all look like cubes on the top of your 3d viewport. Ensure that of these 5, either the third or fourth is selected.

  • @antalz OH THAT WORKED THANKS MAN I JUST SUBSCRIBED YOU NOW!

  • @RoughandSmall

    hehe, it's always a tad hard to find out what's going on with just YT replies, sorry it took me a while to figure it out ^^ anyway, when you get to adding lights, make sure you got the 4th cube selected in your editor, and you "rebuild all", instead of "rebuild geometry". You should then be able to see lights properly in UED as well. When you got that working, switch back to mode 3. Then you got a clear idea of the difference between cube 3 and 4 =] GL mate!

  • @antalz what do you mean by "4th cube" and when i want to add a moon, is it better on a sheet or a thin cube? oh yeah, when i tried to put a moon on a sheet, there were 4 moons, not one. any idea? this UT editer stuff is confusing.

  • @RoughandSmall

    by 4th cube i mean the 4th button of the row of 5 that all look like cubes, the ones on top of ur 3d viewport?

    Anyway, you'd want to add a moon as a sheet. when you've done that, rightclick the moon texture, and go to texture properties. Under alignment scale it up to 2, and under properties tick "masked". Im preparing an exam at the moment, but i can give you a more detailed walkthrough about some stuff over private message if you'd like. Making sky is quite tricky actually...

  • @antalz thanks for that, and the sky is hard. I am trying to make a night sky with stars and they don't show up, and if you already added or subtracted a shape and want to like "edit" it without pressing undo how do select it for editing?

  • @RoughandSmall

    For the stars, you should browse around for a texture that has stars in it, and apply that to some surface. Then under it's surface properties, tick "unlit". You can't really modify the shapes in ur map. You can apply textures and mess with the surface properties, but the shape itself is set in stone really... You basically delete the bad shape and replace it with a good one

  • @antalz I am building a bunny track and at since i know how to do all the building, how do you 'put' in music into the map? there is a music browser but i can input it in any possible way to me. you rock at this stuff

  • @RoughandSmall

    on the very top of your editor, the dropdown menus, go view->level properties. There you can set the game type (actor->info->levelinfo, i think) to make your map BT, and you can somewhere also set the music to the track you want.

    If you're going to set gametype to BT, first make sure you have the BT .u files loaded, otherwise the BT game type will not show up in your actor browser. You could also load a pre-existing BT map to make the BT game type show up

  • @antalz where would i get the BT.u files from? and how do you make "water"?

  • well.. its not red..or brown.. i hit minus.. nothing.. i click the wireframe.. nothing... aka No blue Cube.. its a blue wireframe..i try adding a cube.. it adds it.. just i cant move it... same with any other things on it..

  • I hit - and... the WireFrame is still blue..i press ctrl.. and i click the wireframe (blue) and.. it wont move.. and every time i try clicking on the wireframe nothing happens... nothing is working right now..and i have Unreal Ed 2.0

  • Oh oh nvm... i didnt read your comment fully... sorry...

  • @mrhydralisk

    Your editor seems a bit messed up. Im assuming you start out with the red wireframe? When you hit substract a blue cube appears? When u click the wireframe, does it "light up"? If you hold leftmouse and drag, does ur red wireframe move? Is it still the red wireframe moving when u hold control+leftmouse and drag?

    Can't say i got a real clue whats going on ^^

  • What im saying is that... i cant go to 436... cause if i try... it wont work... and plus if i try moving the wireframe (blue thing) or w/e it wont move... i have 451.. and Skins and mods work fine.. just this is failing.. and Dedicated server fails to..

  • @mrhydralisk

    The wireframe shouldnt be blue, i think you pressed "add" by mistake. You need to hit the substract button, it makes a brown wireframe. Also, to move a cube around you need to hold down control, i think i go over that stuff later in the vid

    Gl

  • Well this doesnt work for me.. i have WIndows vista home basic that can run Unreal tournament 3 along with more games... i have version 451 and cant downgrade cause i downloaded it from the internet and dont have a disc..

  • @mrhydralisk

    You could download a new version with the 436 patch. I'm not sure on the legal situation in your country though, but, as far as i'm aware, in holland downloading itself is legal, and using the software is legal because you had the license already.

    Isn't that exactly what gamemakers are selling these days? "licenses"?

  • i only have the black screen not all 4 help!!

  • @mexicanwootwoot

    Did you try the reconfigure viewport stuff?

  • wow! nice tutorial!never knew this is so easy :P.

    thanks man!

  • thx wondering how the heck to make walls thumbs up for u

  • Hey i need help in the toolbox of the left have been dis apeared the cubes circles and the other icons too i con't know how to re appear it what i have to do? !i need help!

  • @sanfelipe007

    Is it just the pictures on the buttons gone, or is the entire bar gone?

  • @antalz it was only te part of the cubes circles those stuff but don't worry i don't know how but it fixed itself

  • @sanfelipe007 The entire bar of the cube to create the level what i have to do?

  • all of my texture packages are the same why???

  • @jakethesnake934

    No clue = D try selecting the different packages/groups from the dropdown box, after uve loaded them?

  • i hae UT2004 and i cant find the textures D:

  • Nice tutorial

  • You know, i love this editor a LOT. But i've re installed it again recently, and i can't move around the views for the life of me. Any suggestions what can cause this?

  • Why is it when I play test my guy explodes into a million pieces thus not allowing me to explore my map? as soon as the map loads he dies. why?

  • @ComprimisedXInsanity

    Rebuild geometry first, then play. should fix that issue =] The specific button if covered in the tutorial, but hard to see. Let me know if you can find it.

  • @antalz

    I got it! I wasn't adding a portal to my map thus making my character "fall" into place and killing him! lol

  • FUCK i dont have any of the utx files your mentioning does anyone have them???

  • @VAILD0CMD

    You can't even have a working version of unreal tournament without UTX files. Where do the maps that came with ur game get their textures from?

  • @antalz umm you dont have to have ut2k4 i would be cool if you gave those utx files plus my utx files are using unreal 2

  • @VAILD0CMD

    What happens if you open a map that came with unreal2? Are the textures loaded in ur texture browser?

    I don't have UT anymore on hard disk, and the textures for UT99 are largely bad for unreal2 anyway.

  • @antalz i dont care if it bad for unreal 2 i stole the game somewere which im probably do the same for UT2k4

  • @VAILD0CMD

    hehe, you could download a version of any UT game and transplant the textures.

  • @antalz thats probably what im going to do you should changed the name of this video to like UT2k4 editor 2.0 tutorial and when is the second tut coming out? Because i learned alot off of u?

  • @VAILD0CMD

    Part 2 isn't coming unfortunately. I still remember much about the editor though, so you can always ask specific questions.

    It's called unreal editor 2.0 because that's what it is. The editor i'm using shipped with unreal tournament 99. The unreal editor 3.0, for UT2004/U2 is a bit more complicated than this one, because of volumes, antiportals, terrain and static meshes. Luckily though, there are many tutorials on those topics on the web.

  • @antalz ok well thanks for replying :)

  • Damn it now my screen is all white everytime i start it up i see all teh tools just not the map and stuff.

  • @LordFazem

    view>viewports>configure, select any viewport layout you'd like. The blue one is the 3d viewport, the others are top front and side. View is one of the dropdown menus waaay at the top

  • At the red lined cube part i hold down control and scroll mouse up and it doesnt move any help?

  • @LordFazem

    Hold down control *and* left mouse button, then drag mouse around

  • when i go to Textures and go to open, and try to load ShaneChurch (or any, for that matter) The top scroll menu where the name of the .utx is is blank, and "aforce1 (64x64)" is displayed on the bar at the top (where minimize/close is)

  • @Volva08

    Does the second scroll menu show different texture catagories? What happens if you use the open button to open a new texture package?

  • @antalz The first scroll menu shows: Botpack, Editor, Engine, LadrArrow, UBrowser, UMenu, UnrealI, UnrealShare, UTMenu, UWindow

    The second scroll menu (Beside [ALL]) shows: Nothing

    A very BIG percentage of the .utx don't work, but ones like city.utx and AlfaFX.utx work...

    And I am using UnrealEd ver. 2 with UTGOTY

  • @Volva08

    What happens if you load a texture set that doesnt work, then try selecting the different texture groups in the package? or reselecting ALL?

  • @antalz Never mind, deleted copy and reinstalled with a torrented one, works fine now, but I think im going to keep my CD copy in case of need...

  • i built the 512 by 1024 by 1024 cube but wen i pressed subtract nothing happened...it remained a red cube. i pressed CG: Subtract...is that the right button?

  • When I've created the cube, and clicked on the "subtract" button, the cube doesn't get any textures, the walls are just clean red color. Why is that?

  • @x3r13x1z

    Which game are you using? In my version, the walls got a texture that looks like puke, as u can see in the vid. U needa apply ur own texture via texture browser

  • @antalz I've installed the original Unreal 1 game, updated it with the 227 patch, and using the Unreal Editor 2.0 which came with the game.

  • @antalz And when I apply a texture to the cube, it doesn\t make any difference at all, the cube remains red.

  • @x3r13x1z

    Got no clue what causes that. If you add a playerstart and play the map, it's solid red still?

  • @antalz I found the problem. You can change what view you want in each of the four windows, there's "Top", "Front" and "Side". The window down the left corner was set to view "BSP Cuts", I changed it to "Dynamic Light". Now that everything works, I'll keep following your tutorials. =)

  • @x3r13x1z

    There wont be another mate. I don't use the editor anymore, but i'll be glad to try and help with any questions you might have. Question: For me, the sound of the video is bad, is it ok on your end?

  • @antalz The sound is ok, but there's a low static sound when you speak, but nothing big.

  • @x3r13x1z can you tell me where you found "BSP Cuts"? I am having the same problem you were having where the box remains red. Someone please help.

  • @Rocker3521

    At the 3d viewport there are 6 little cube icons on the top, for BSP cuts, zoning, dynamic lighting and some other bits. Select dynamic lighting.

    Is your cube solid red, or is the wireframe red?

  • @antalz wireframe

    

  • @antalz I cannot seem to find the icon you are refering to. But I am using the editor from UT3. Does that make a difference?

  • @Rocker3521

    I think it does. You can see the buttons in the tutorial. At the start, the 3d viewport [black with few blue lines] shows a row of buttons to its top: a joystick, 3 buttons marked T, F and S, and then the 5 little cubes, I'm not sure this makes a difference. It sounds like you have the left-most cube selected. You should have the third or fourth.

    Could also be ur using the wrong button. The substract button ur pushing right?

  • @antalz I have the "Lit" cube and the "P" selected. But like I said before, I am using the UT3 editor. Is therre anything else that I need to select? Also, I am pressing "CSG: Subtract". Is that the same thing as subtract?

  • @Rocker3521

    Sounds like the right button. Can't help much i'm afraid, does rebuilding geometry work? Anything UED 3.0 tutorials say?

  • can you send me a download link to unrealed 2.0 plzzzzz

  • @MGS2SolidSnake

    UnrealED itself is not enough. U need all the engine files, in other words, you need an unreal engine game

  • @antalz I have land of the dead 2

  • whenever i try testing the level nothing happens :(

  • @computerexpert3

    What do you mean by nothing? Nothing happens when you click the play button in the editor?

  • @antalz when I click the play button the unrealed window minimizes itself and thats all it does

  • @computerexpert3

    Another bug i never had myself. Try naming your map DM-something or CTF-Something. Then fire up UT itself, and check if ur map works.

  • is there a lesson 2?

  • @AJFL1994

    No.

  • @CTAT98

    Go to view>viewports>configure, take a random configuration you like and they should come up

  • 4:27 - "right click again to make a noob cube" :)

  • Why did they add an add button? Is that for adding solids inside a subtracted space?

  • Exactly = ] Like adding the light in the tut. Usually, you use substracting to get the main outline of a level straight, and use additive thingies to get the detailwork in

  • Hehe yay I learned something today =D I hope there are tutorials on how to use the UnrealEd for DeusEx and Postal 2.

  • not familiar with those games, but if u can make a map similar to this tutorial and play it in deus ex, you at least have a solid beginning.

    Nothing is crappier than not even getting the tools to work

  • Yo dude did you make a source SDK tut? Your voice sounds very familier.

  • eeeeh, no

  • Wheres part 2?

  • Will never be made. I don't use UED anymore, still got it on my HDD though. If u got any questions, i can prolly answer most of them.

  • plz where i can download this editor ? i have unrealed 1 but i cant find 2.0

  • 1.0 comes with unreal1 [i hear its rather buggy] 1.5 comes with UT99. For 2.0, get the v436 patch for UT99

  • How to make a cube to stand on?

  • @Specialer1 make a cube, select it and then press the add button

  • nice tut

  • where to download?

  • u dont it comes whit the game

  • great tutorial my friend, this is what i used to begin learning unrealed

  • Nice tutorial, but I'm having a problem now. I've already completed this tutorial once, but now when I start UnrealEd 2.0 again I can't move the camera.. :S (camera movement is selected).

    (and the screen was all white, but that's fixed now). I hope you can help :)

  • Very weird. Wouldn't know how to fix really = [

  • good point @ below:

    remember to patch the game. The game itself ships with UED 1.5, but one of the patches turns it into 2.0. If ur editor is stuck, patching to v436 might work [u need 436 to play online anyway nowadays]

  • I found the solution. Apparently version 451 fucks up your unrealed 2.0 and you can't move the camera for some weird reason...

    version 436 works just fine :)

  • if the ed came in a pach like it does in the game land of the dead, then reinstall that patch and try it. if it came on the game then replace the files from with the files that the ed uses that are on the game disc....should fix the problem. hope this helps ya.

  • how did u fix the white screen dyetryc.. i have the save problem, and thnx for the tutorial. antalz

  • view>viewports>configure

  • press ctrl and alt.

  • Delete your ini.

  • How to you load saved brushes (Control B). They only load for me when I first open the editor.

    Is there a fix for the control B bug?

  • Not sure what you mean by saved brush. I always exported my brushes to some file type, and then imported them into another map. Always worked as far as i can remember

  • I figured it out. Apparently Export/Import works like a load/save feature.

    I used to make maps years ago, but I wanted to make a new one. So I wanted to learn somethings to make map building faster.

    I did build a cannon with a mortar spawner in front of it. LOL

  • the mortar spawner... good memories...

    I never figured out how to make that thing throw really far though, and in the game itself that thing is only used in AS-Overlord... An entire class made just for one map.

  • how did u get all the extures i only got like 10! do i need an update or something! plz help!

  • if you got the full game, you should have dozens of packages. Please note that each package can contain groups. So if you open shanechurch, there might be a number of groups. I ignore them all-together, press the "all" button in the texture browser.

  • how do you play it i saved it but when i click custume games it wont show up

  • the only way i can play the game is to open the file from some other game, like Star Wars :Republic Commandos

  • my light won't work

  • place the light actor, rebuild lighting, and make sure your viewport is set to dynamic lighting, or somsuch, and not geometry. There are 6 3D viewport settings, 2 show the world as you'd see it, one in unlit mode, one with lighting. Fiddle around with those buttons, after youve rebuilt lighting, and you should get a result.

    Or rebuild lighting and play the level. Rebuild all will do geometry and lighting in one go for you

  • you have to press shift to move objects, not control

  • nvm it does give me option 2 pick how big it is but it still doesnt move?

  • Don't think i can help you. All i know is that if you click and drag in a viewport, your camera moves. Best i can give are two suggestions:

    1: re-open the viewports. Go to view>viewports, somewhere up in the top menus, and fiddle around, to get the viewports re-opened.

    2: reinstall UT. Annoying to do, i know

  • i just found out the problem there was data on the disc that hadn't installed properly so if someone says they cant move, suggest that to them.

  • mine isnt moving ? any ideas on how 2 fix?

  • what isnt moving?

  • like i cant look around my map , this makes it extremely hard to make a map. also when u clicked on the cube tool u got to pick how big it becomes that doesn't happen with me.

  • Thank you very much! I come from many years of doing Valve Hammer Editor so the Unreal Editor is a bit odd to me. This made getting started pretty easy.

  • Hi thanks antalz just to let you know i made a level like a cave with lava, waterfalls and lots of rocky terrain, but thanks for the ideas i researched them a lot.

  • If you started with this tutorial, you definitely researched alot! Good going though! How is lighting the place up working out?

  • yeah its going good, dim in most places and a few cylinder light down the cavern pillars, even added a cool waterfall in it and the sounds r really realistic. Its coming along well :)
