...Hey!
I was just wondering if there is some sort of patch for the level editor because ive just downloaded it and about 5 minutes into it it says its performed an illegal opperation...it doesnt have a help file either which makes it hard coz i wanna learn how to make levels for myself:( any help would be appreciated [:I]

Well, help file is a lack. For some reason a help file was never made..... weird, no?

About illegal operations - tell me what did you do and I'll tell why did it do that.

About help - feel free to ask when I'm around.

Duh, modeller. That is nto the level editor program, whole different thing!

Modeller crashes here in every 5th minute ^_^ you have to experiment what your PC likes and dislikes when using the modeller.

I wouldn't recommend the modeller for a beginner though. That is only needed for advanced stuff. First learn to use the level editor itself, only then the editor, that's my two cents...

Sky Common: that has no link to 3D Modeller. It is "only" needed for many maps, and can ease your job when making a map. So get it fast, yeah. [:D] lol

I was actually thinking to write some kind of a Help file, because many people got problems with using it. So, Assi, are you gonna help me?

Drakan map, drakan story, and now a help file even....

That's too much of goodies at once to make I think.

well, the map is almost done. I tested it a few times and it's ok (yet there are a few things I want to add). btw it's ok for me to have that much work.

Lucky you

I can't co-op in this one, sorry..... I have uni to learn at, and I have a whole drakan serie to make... not mentioning the various stories I must help in. [:D]

we arent playing around with this stuff. Its not like a stupid little PS2 game level editor where u place a few different objects around. This is hard core [}:)]
