LevelEditor Getting Started

The LevelEditor is a standalone tool, built on the ATF. Previous versions of the ATF included a sample Level Editor. This standalone version is shipped in its own package, and does not require the full ATF package. The LevelEditor package includes the LevelEditor User's Guide and the LevelEditor Programmer's Guide, which are in the Doc directory of the LevelEditor package.

First check the LevelEditor system requirements.

To install LevelEditor, clone the LevelEditor project to your system.

1. Build the native rendering engine using the following solution: build\LvEdRenderingEngine.sln.
2. Build the LevelEditor.exe using the following solution: build\LevelEditor.vs2010.sln.
