■ HOW TO CONFIGURE THE EDITOR
-By Darkdrium.

Unlocking the Unofficial Unreal Editor for Borderlands:

1. You will need to download Dr Zed's UED Patch and extract it to the Borderlands installation directory.
   Default path: C:\Program Files (x86)\2K Games\Gearbox Software\Borderlands
   .
2. If you are using Windows XP or Windows Vista, you will need to run the file fix.bat
   If you are using Windows 7, you will need to run the file win7_fix.bat
   .
3. Create a new shortcut to the Borderlands.exe file and open it's properties.
   In the "Target" field, you will add " -editor" (With the space) after what is already written in this field.
   The result will be: C:\Program Files (x86)\2K Games\Gearbox Software\Borderlands\Binaries\Borderlands.exe -editor
   if you are using the default Borderlands installation directory

Please note that the Unreal Editor for Borderlands is unsupported by Gearbox Software or 2K Games (Take-Two Interactive) and you are using it at your own risks.

very nice, much needed. too bad i patched it.

[Jamez0905]

Not saying it's true for everyone, but after I edited my executable I CANT launch it without it going into editor mode, not a bad thing just saying the flag may be unnecessary.

[lazor]

Yeah, I discovered I can't launch without going into editor mode with the edited exe either.

With the more people doing this, the more we can learn as a whole.

[Kantham]

Yeah, like how you actually get the player input working correctly whilst playing in the editor?

Only W,A,S,D/ Mouse look works for me.

[Turk645]

I havent been able to get other player inputs to work. Only thing i've been able to manage is ducking and jumping via manually putting it into the console

Here's what I've been working on today:



I'm limited to bsp for the moment, but I'll get working on a terrain in Maya if everything turns out good. Here's what I have done in the past on other UE3 games. I can't wait to add Borderlands on there, too.

[lazor]

That's awesome.

I can't wait to see proper maps

[Ballinup]

That took you a day???
Oh lord, it will take you years to make a map
