@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

[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

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.

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

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

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)

[rancorx]

thanks for the great tutorial much appreciated =]

[narutolll]

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

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!
