Huckeye's Beta Mapper Application

[New Horizon]

Architecture shouldn't be too much of a problem really, but there will be a lot of things you won't be able to do with the doom 3 editor in the coming months. Dark Radiant should very soon become the best option for DM editing.

 

I've give you beta mapper permissions. You should be able to see the appropriate sections to download the beta mapping tools.

Welcome to BETA MAPPING!

 

You will still be able to use D3Ed over DarkRadiant, however things will be more complicated to do (such as readables - eventually they'll be easy to do in DarkRadiant, but right now you have to make a few files for it etc), so all in all DarkRadiant is much better for use them D3Ed - especially if you don't want to learn all the technical crap

 

As for transition, well, you'll only have to add in the frobable items, decorations etc, and AI. Otherwise, anything that you put that is native to D3 will sit in easy with TDM, except the weapons from D3 - those will not fit as they are changed in TDM.

As long as you only create geometry and lights, you can do everything. But as soon as it comes down to placing entities like AI, sounds, doors, etc. they will not work, because we use different items.

 

If you want to download DarkRadiant, you should wait until Sunday, because a new release is about to be planned. We also will release a new version of the mod, but this is only a diff, so you can download version 0.003 for now, and then apply the new release on top of it.
