Crysis Sandbox Editor

[fuzzybabybunny]

Any cool things you've done? I've found the weapons and the flyable helicopter.

I placed a few sniper rifles on the ground at the "First Light" overlook and the helicopter on one of the beaches. I saved the map and went into Single Player, but my added stuff isn't there. Anyone know what's going on?

You have to export the stuff to the engine.
File - Export to Engine

You have to install it first. After that, if you installed it to the default directory, the executable will be in \Program Files\Electronic Arts\Crytek\Crysis SP Demo\Bin32. Look for Editor.exe.

In the editor_readme file there's also this comment:

"In order to install and run the CryENGINE(R) 2 Sandbox(TM) 2
Editor under Windows Vista, the user should run as
Administrator. After installation the folder to which the Editor
is installed should be given write access permissions."

Note that the editor is really meant to be run in 64-bit as well, at least for those who plan on trying to mod the Island level:

"Warning: Running the Sandbox Editor under a 32bit OS can lead to
instabilities with production size levels due to the low amount of
virtual memory available. Though the Sandbox Editor can be used in
this configuration to learn the feature set its use on a 32bit OS
is not supported."

My editor is crashing with some weird errors when I try to open Island.cry

Any tips?

Thsi guy shows how to use the editor to add an extra bit of ending to the demo that goes past the frozen boat.

For some reason I can't get any enemies to spawn, and I've had around 50% success rate when spawning weapons and ammo.

Do you have 32bit OS? That may be your problem:

If you can't get your weapons and ammo to spawn it either:
A. Doesn't have a model (in the demo, at least)
B. Turn align to terrain on. Sometimes things spawn WAAAAAAY out there or underground. Align to terrain remedies that

To spawn enemies, just create them from Archetype Entities -> Asian_new and select whatever group and person you want. If it spawns w/o a model, just go into its attributes and give it a model that works.
Oh, and I'm running it fine on XP 32 bit.
