Sorry I don't understand how you move editor to C: on its own, i have the folder in program files, i don't know where to put it on c other than there

I have the screen of the launcher deciding whether to choose launch editor o launch thief 3. If I choose the editor nothing happens

go to your program files, right click ur thief3edit folder- click cut- go to mycomputer>c drive right click paste and its moved :angel

atm however u could just put in "C:\ProgramFiles\Thief3Edit" into the Launcher editor type box and you'd be able to get in the editor - BUT u may run into problems later.

Ok the editor has launched, from the separate folders in program files, and altho i clicked launch editor and nothing happened i changed the file path to the thief3 edit folder and soemthing happened, then it requested where i was sourcing it from in the thief3 edit folder but there were no "openable" items and then it worked anyway when i closed this box. So hopefully all is working now. thanks very much, I'm sure I'll run into problems soon enough or our team will, but if anyone is interested in our fan mission designs then you are more then welcome to take a look at the blueprints (only in paint so far) but they are detailed and with a good storyline. Thanks for your help I think i may repeat these steps in the near future to avoid problems later as you said. Can i cut and paste the entire folder now to the C, to avoid the problems?

would it be possible to get the pagan floating glow, make it solid, and change its elevation?

:confused: Respectfully...I've been all over the tutorials at (http://udn.epicgames.com) and on the Wiki. I seem to be unable to move any actors or brushes I place into the orthographic views or the perspective view. I've tried all of the key and mouse button combinations, and I looked up the keyboard short cuts here: (http://udn.epicgames.com/Two/UnrealEdKeys).

...However...All I seem to be able to do is pan and zoom the camera view. Kinda frustrating. I'm sure I have a toggle on (or off) or something.

Thank you in advance.

Edit: I figured it out. I had the grid size too large! My ctrl+left click was not working because the snap to grid was turned on and I was not moving the object far enough for it to snap to the next grid line.

I've finally just got it working, looks complicated, but great!

[NOOB WARNING]Grid size question[/NOOB WARNING]

I do brush work with grid 16. But sometimes (while aligning static meshes) I have to change grid size to some lower value (even 2). Is it safe to work with meshes and such small grid size? Can it cause some errors in the future? :confused:

bukary, I've had to align some doors to frames on grid 1, and I don't think there will be trouble. As long as you stay on the grid. The whole point is to avoid brushes being 0.0000000000321 units apart, say.

Actually, you don't have to worry about meshes being aligned - it's BSP that's important, I'm just getting a little confused...

still not had any luck with the AI, where ever I put them they're still stuck-any other ideas:)
