Just wondering if anyone has messed around in the Editor yet.

[BeastyBill88]

A few people have, from what I've read the user face isn't very good and its difficult to find things. The guys over on the Emergency fan forums are working things out. I think there is a link in one of the other topics for it.

do they have any documentations for modding?

[RichardsD]

No docs yet, did some preliminary examination. 

 

You can spawn "prefabs", assets such as the game vehicles.  From there you can "detach" lights and other effects from it.

 

No idea how to spawn in models, but when you use the object properties you can see the properties for say, a police car.

 

All of the scripts are JSON files, easy to edit / open with Notepad ++.  

 

UI seems alright, buttons are basic but seem similar to programs like Max.

I wonder if you need the same requirements to work in the editor as you do the game?

Theyre probably locked like EM4's model, best bet is trying to import a model instead.

I hope they release a small tutorial soon for the editor! I want to quickly make some things to try it out, which out having to play for hours to figure one small known thing out!

Looks like the Mod folder tucked in strange location

c:\Users\%username%\AppData\Roaming\Promotion Software GmbH\EMERGENCY 5\mods\

Also tucked in near by folder
c:\Users\%username%\AppData\Roaming\Promotion Software GmbH\EMERGENCY 5 Offline Editor\
is file called

qsf_editor_qt_settings.ini

In is this bit

[ConnectDialog]Hostname=offlinePort=4242History=offline, offline, localhost:4042

So it appear the online editor part not set up currently. Which I think some already suspected.

[Dosedmonkey]

Thanks for that theparanoid. I wondered where it was. Yeah it seems strange, but actually a few games of late have used that part of directory, not sure why, I guess there is a reason to do with the engine.

Yeah, I would like too as well. Did they ever officially release a tutorial or was it just those of us here in this forum?

[Dosedmonkey]

No tutorial yet. I just put up some bits i figured in another thread. And some other people have done the same.

[Moofers]

I figured how to draw roads, draw decals and place buildings. But other than that I'm confused by the how it's laid out.

[Greglh]

The street editor seems simple. I placed some intersections and from there you link them and the road is done. This was a quick look. I didn't try to link different types of intersections to see how it would handle it.

 

I'm looking for a command to level the streets automatically rather than having to manually set it to the grid.

 

Once I had it linked I could move the intersections and the road path would bend/curve with it.

But if I tried adjusting the path between the link would break.

 

I want to create bridge/overpass and ramps.
