UnrealEd 2.0 Video Tutorial now on YouTube

[smeerkat]

Hi everyone, I just uploaded my first video tutorial (building your first room in UnrealEd) :


This replaces the website version that I used to have back in the day. It had about 40 screenshots, so it was easier to just upload a video to YouTube.

My other UnrealEd tutorials can be found in the Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/20041204005 ... tutorials/

Thanks for sharing, I'm sure this will be a useful reference

Cool thing! I just wanna add that you can always add regulars lights, no matter what you selected in the Actor Class Browser - which I find more handy.

I just wantto thank you for your work. I usually don't like Youtube tutorials at all but yours is as good as it can be, it covers a lof of points and you spared us all the "uuuh" and "hmmm" that every other video has and it's refreshing.

Yes good work. I was about to do the same thing. But never got the time for it. Maybe this gets me more motivated to do the same ting, like soon .

Thanks for your feedback! It encourages me to make more tutorials.

Great vids
I wish I knew something about mapping or texture or whatever
besides my editor crashes or doesn't even open maps

Which UT version do you have?

[Pileyrei]

The Editor is very sensitive and prone to crashing at times - at least in my experiences so far.

I wanted to ask if there were any ini settings that needed changing before you used the editor.

I would recommend to set autosave to 5 minutes or shorter/longer if you need.

[Editor.EditorEngine]
UseSound=True
CacheSizeMegs=6
GridEnabled=True
SnapVertices=True
SnapDistance=10.000000
GridSize=(X=8.000000,Y=8.000000,Z=8.000000)
RotGridEnabled=True
RotGridSize=(Pitch=1024,Yaw=1024,Roll=1024)
GameCommandLine=-log
FovAngleDegrees=90.000000
GodMode=True
AutoSave=True
AutoSaveTimeMinutes=5
AutoSaveIndex=9

But I would also recommend to use the Unreal Editor 2.1 from patch 227 for building the BSP and the UEd2.0 for pathing and lighting and other stuff.
