MWLL Map Creation Seminar

[Aidan]

I know this is an old topic, but did the video of this ever get posted up? I'm a struggling map maker and more MWLL map creation content, tips, and discussion as opposed to watching plain crysis map making and tips video's would be appreciated.

I tried watching this the other day, pretty sure I was using the 1.0.5 VLC (says it's the latest version) and I was getting the 2min in blackscreen. I'll try checking for an update on the webpage, and fiddling with aspect ratios, as I'd like to see this, even if I never make a map (curse you Dark Radiant!)

As much as I'd love to start making my maps Editor crashes whenever I try to create a new map.

Please state your system specifications.

Attached my DxDiag below, hope it proves of use to you because I couldn't find any reason why it crashes with no errors.

Have you ever successfully created a new map with this computer?

Can you open existing Crytek Crysis maps in SB2?

[Reiel]

Yes, on a previous install of Windows XP with Service Pack 3. All my drivers are up to date except my graphics driver from NVidia, it's not up to date but I am using a recent patch for it. I doubt that's the problem since I've opened the Editor in the past. Whenever I try to open or create a new map file it automatically CTD's without even showing the windows for viewing the map. I've added -mwll to the shortcut for Editor and -dx9 to try and solve the problem, didn't work. I'm doubting something is corrupt from installation since I'd probably get an error from that. Anyways, thanks.

If your intent is to create a level for MWLL, you should be using either Vista or Win 7 64 bit. The 32 bit operating systems do not cut it for creating the large maps used by MWLL. Also you should have at least 4 GB of main memory and it would be nice if you had at least 1 GB of GPU memory.

Don't worry about my system requirements, I've created the equivalent of a map the size of Krakatoa of Crysis for use between people I know. My only problem now is my editor still won't start.

[Aidan]

Good luck with that rig.

Actualy my 32 bit xp rig is what i use with a slightly OCed amd dual core (gotta double check if its athalon). I got 4 gigs of g skill ram at 1066 on a gigabyte board( im cuting out a gig here due to 32 bit im aware).Also im runing only the onboard ati 4200 hd...yes i know i need a 64 bit sys and all that to realy apreciate crysis but for now it works. I intend after geting a new car to go ahead and get a new mobo cpu and video card giveing my old one to my gf.

EDIT: got home ran cpu-z just to double check everything and heres what i got.

athalon II x2 240 OCed to 3.1 ghz
2x2 gig g skill chips dual channel  5 5 5 15
ati radeon hd 4200 700mb mem


also when i first got this rig and was OCingi did several stability tests only a few failing once i got my currentsettings setup before that i failed a bunch took a bit of tweaking but there ya go
