Ok, first off thanks for starting up this thread Cody, and thanks to both you and HP for gathering all those links. Now here's the steps I've taken to get the editor working for me. I'm using XP32 bit if that matters...
1. Get the big Crysis Wars trial installer from here:
http://www.bigdownload.com/games/cry...l-single-file/
I originally tried to get the multipart install files at that site but the second one kept failing on me, oh well...
2. Install Crysis Wars
3. Run Crysis Wars once to authenticate it.
4. Run Crysis Wars again to make sure it works on your PC.
5. Update Crysis Wars to the 1.5 patch
Start -> All Programs -> Electronic Arts -> Crysis Wars -> Check for game updates
or get the patch manually from one of the links here:
http://www.mycrysis.com/newsdetails.php?news=41381
6. Uninstall old mod SDK Tools and Source Code. There's no need to do this step if you did not install the SDK Tools or Source Code that was posted earlier in this thread.
7. Get the new mod SDK at the bottom of this page, it seems as though we were missing the CryXML.dll file:
http://www.mycrysis.com/filebase.php?fileid=9441
8. I installed the 3 files in this order, not sure if it matters though.
a. CrysisWars_ModSDK_Tools_v1.1.exe
b. CrysisWars_ModSDK_SPMod_v1.0.exe
c. CrysisWars_ModSDK_SourceCode_v1.0.exe
9. Setting up the Photoshop CryTIF export plugin:
a. Run Photoshop
b. make a test image
c. File -> Save as -> choose CryTIFPlugin format
d. Click "OK" to the two error dialogs that popup
e. Depending on what version of windows you are on put the following as the path:
WinXP 32bit
C:\Program Files\Electronic Arts\Crytek\Crysis Wars
Vista 64bit
C:\Program Files (x86)\Electronic Arts\Crytek\Crysis Wars
- I also checked "show window" here, not sure if you need to do this...
- Then click "Ok".
f. File -> Save as -> choose CryTIFPlugin format again - now you should get the plugin save window to come up properly.
I'm hoping the other export plugins will work just fine now, I'll edit this post if there needs to be more instructions added. I think the main point was just getting the new Mod SDK files which included the missing CryXML.dll file.
Good Luck! I hope this helps
