I hope I'll be able to make some sweet skins with this. I still owe Jasper 1 "Human Target" skin. biggrin:

You dont make skins with an SDK w3nis

isn't it an LDK, level design kit
it is just updated radient for SH with some tuts, pish posh

Ok help us ignorant people out who know nothing about SDK. What is SDK and what can you do with ?

biggrin:

SDK = Software Development Kit... in most cases this is a way for a company to add support to developers for a certain application. This doesn't always mean a full release of source code, but in most cases it is.

What EA released is being called by most dev's as an LDK, which means Level Design Kit. This is more accurate of what EA released because it's an updated MOHradiant with some great tutorials and documentation.

What people are misunderstanding when they imediately assume that you can't do anything with the LDK, is that the documentation along with the updated radiant is far better than what's already been released. No, this is by far a full SDK, but TCM's will be able to complete so much more with this information then they have already.

And before anyone starts bashing me for what I do and don't know, I'm gathering my information based on what modders have already said in many other threads and conversations. I will openly admit I don't know much about designing maps, but from what I've seen with the documentation, there's plenty to be learned.

So let me get this strait, since we have the sdk you modder guys can now make regular patches for spearhead at least...right?

If it has plugs for 3D Studio Max, I don't see why you can't add to the model. I've done it for Half-Life, Jedi Outcast, and Jedi Knight.

Not meaning to flame, but did you see where I said it was an LDK and not an SDK?

Doh. . . cry:

I think this "LDK" will help modders make Single Player maps and do nothing for us MP players.

With the LDK, modders will be able to script events much better. This may add some like to MP but IMO, we will start to see more SP maps

It has AI scripts that can be used in MP also. Cant make patches, mohaa sucks. -In laments terms

The only multiplayer map with ai that isn't just laughable is Jv_map's bot test...the ai was never supposed to be used in MP for a good reason - its shit and it ruins the map.

Um..not really, and I don't really know what the diference is between an sdk and an ldk, can u at least make total conversions with the ldk?

SDK means editing of all files; maps, skins, physics of the game, etc.

LDK = Level Developer Kit (Maps only)

wait...havent they already been making maps though? whats so special about this one? so still no hope for the mods?

I might check it out... The first mohradiant pretty much forced you to learn all besides simple block creation yourself.

I might make a simple but detailed Objective map, if I get back into MoH enough.

That you can make Spearhead maps. It has all the proper plugs to make totally unique maps in MOH:SH rather than using old maps and re-amping it with SH files.

booooooo, some of the mods for this game looked so bad ass, and the way things are going they are moving to ut2003 and i dont buy fruity sci fi shooters...
