CNC3 KW WorldBuilder - Are Campaign Maps Editable? Yet?

spoidz · Civilian **Joined**: 02 Apr 2007

I read in the KW WB readme that Campaign maps "aren't editable".

Is this true/Still true? I have them extracted but as soon as I open the one I want "Tacitus B" the KW WB crashes immediately.

I can run TW WB no problems at all with extracted.

Did I need to use a new KW version of BIG to extract KW Maps by chance?

And if so can anyone point me to source?

Thanks

EDIT: Looks like its ALL maps and the Memory Crash problems noted other forums. But if anyone has edited KW maps successfully would still like to know.

Campaigns are not editable. The game does not support this feature yet.

Hello Banshee,

does that mean the the maps are completely unavailable to be used as skirmish maps (I would delete all scripts)?

You can convert them to Skirmish maps, it has been done multiple times... You only need to find where the maps are, and then delete everything except landscape and structures/units Smile

And what do I have to do for that? Wink

What tool do I need?
And where are the maps to be found? Wink

Banshee, Dutchygamer

Thanks, I'm also not trying to edit the campaign, just clean the map and use it for skirmish.

So, is that not possible until the KW SDK is released?

Or can you just copy the height map at least and make a new map from scratch?

Of course right now I can't even get the KW WB to open the MP maps w/o crashing, so it may have to wait anyway. Which "off topic" is strange since KW WB uses less memory than TW WB (according to XP perf monitor) but still immediately crashes.

Thanks all

EDIT: Well for some reason I have no problem modding any of the EA Mappack1 maps but still can't open "any" of the extracted game disk maps.

google for the manual which will help and turn off all (show reflections ect.) and turn down map size to show 36 tiles and turn off all influences after all that turn off macrotexture and it should run quicker and better than ever i havent had a crash since, and single play maps can be changed with new sdk mod but is little bit trickyer, and apperintly using ready boost for vista also helps greatly, but havent tried it yet

the manual helps to explain alot of stuff including the how to for single play and scripting and so forth and also file locations
