A newbie in need!
2001-02-12, 9:13 AM #1
Hey, I'm all new to this editing stuff. I am a weapons hacker but I always wanted to edit levels. I have some great ideas that people say would be right up there with JHS and JAWA SE. The only thing I need now is help. I DL JED v.95 and am wondering if I need anything else. If you know of anything that I need please tell me where to get it or send it to me. And I would like not being flamed by everyong just cuz I'm a newb.

Hello & welcome.

Some things you should have are:

ConMan (use it to extract gob/goo files)
GetBent (quick way to make curvy halls or tunnels)
Vertex Assassin (corrects vertice errors)
Stair Crazy (quick way to make stairs)
MatMaster/Mat16 (bmps => mats)

Does that help? [http://forums.massassi.net/html/smile.gif]

Welcome to Massassi. Really the only thing you need to make levels is Jed. The other programs make it possible to edit other aspects of the game or make it easier to do some things in level making.

Most of the pluggins (GetBent Vertex Assassin, Stair Crazy) are used from within Jed. You can get them at www.code-alliance.com

ConMan is used to extract files from gobs (you'll find out about that later) and should be available here at Massassi or at the Code Alliance.

MatMaster and Mat16 are used to make custom mats (textures). MatMaster should be available here at Massassi. Mat16 can be found at www.outpostd34.com

What you need to do next is read the tutorials here at massassi and practice the methods taught there by making some small test levels.
