Prey Level Editing

[Spooger]

I've just recently begun on the lengthy journey of level editing (and I must say, it's been nothing short of a blast!) and the editor I've been using has been DoomEdit. I'm wondering - because it's the editor I know best - if Prey will be running on the same editor, a similar editor or what. I'd love to be able to build some environments in Prey when it comes out http://forums.3drealms.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif

I would assume so since it uses the Doom 3 engine.

I'm just wondering if they'll still call it "Preditor" http://forums.3drealms.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif

I don't think so not unless it still is Preditor to an extent.

they used doom 3 in it's early stages, so a lot of it will probably be different

[Chris Rhinehart]

Level editing in Prey will use a variation of the Doom3 editor, with a number of enhancements we've added for Prey-specific stuff, plus a few enhancements to make our map builders lives a bit easier.

So, if you know the Doom3 editor, you'll be able to make maps in Prey.

And, yes, we've named it "Preditor" http://forums.3drealms.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif

Absolutely awesome news http://forums.3drealms.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif DoomEdit has been very reasonable to work with so far, so the fact that there will be some enhancements to make using it even easier is excellent to hear (along with all of the great Prey material http://forums.3drealms.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif)

Thanks for answering the question, Chris. Good luck with Prey http://forums.3drealms.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif

So... will there now be a DoomEdit (i.e. "Preditor") forum for Prey, just like there's an UnrealEd editing forum? Perhaps the Doom 3 forum will suffice.

I don't think that would cut it http://forums.3drealms.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif Don't forget, games like HL2 and Doom3 only have a forum because (I'm guessing) they're popular games and the folks at 3DR like 'em! UnrealEd probably has its own forum because DNF is built on Unreal Technology, so it follows that Preditor will have its own forum because Prey is 3DR and HH's game. That makes sense, anyhow.

DoomEdit (and obviously Preditor) really need their own forum, too. There's a lot to know, and a ton worth discussing - and given 3DR and HH's open communication with the public, there's really nobody better to discuss with http://forums.3drealms.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif

Sorry to barge in, but what about model editors? If Prey uses 3DSMax, will there be any GMax import/export plugin support?
