I cant even get the editor to work...it opens and all...but I can't really figure out what to do after that. I've tried download the documentation, but I guess the server was down(?). ANY help would be great cause I don't even have a first step to follow.

^ should work

Also the swoop-Aeon FAQ is useful.. thread here:

As for first step try:

-Opening up existing farcry maps (farcry\levels\ folder) and perhaps check out 'DEMO' or a MP map.. have a fly around and look at stuff, see how the levels fit together.

- Next learn to create terrain and surface textures.. the tutorials at 3dbuzz are good:

* videos 5,6,7 are the most important*
-please note: you must register on 3dbuzz to download the videos. Registration is free.

Once you have made or are making your basic island, open up the sandbox manual and read through it, it contains all the information you need to produce either a singleplayer or multiplayer map.

If you get stuck... visit this ubi forum or use:

www.crymod.com - to ask a question or do a search for the related topic.

hope this helps

Thank you for taking the time to post that for me.

One more question for anyone...can you make textures in Photoshop and transfer/convert them for use in the Editor?

Yes people are here, but try a little more patience, this isnt the UBI tech support line, virtually everyone who posts here are regular players and enthusiasts...

Look for a post by stringed evil in the top half dozen here, it contains links to the best tutorials...

I think you are seeing that because you havent clicked on generate textures? Which is either under file or edit...

Good luck...

ahhh sorry Fal (and Cuz :P) I forgot you had to sign up to get those videos - i'd say it's well worth it though. They don't go into much detail but if you are having problems getting started, they can help.

As for the 'replace me' red squares - if you have chosen textures you need to hit file--generate surface textures.

All this is in the manual Page 6 (it discusses your problem straight off the bat)
