I started fooling around with game editors with the SED editor with Serious Sam FE right after it came out, years ago. I enjoyed working with it and was making pretty good progress until my computer crashed and I lost all my files.(Now I backup all the time!)
I had tried the build engine, but after using SED I was spoiled to using a true 3D engine because of my poor eyesight.
Then, DNMP came along and I wrestled with it many hours until I got to the point that I could build a fairly complex level without crashing the editor. I'm still working with Prism3D and learning a lot, but I have no real good ideas for good sidescrolling-type levels. I'm hoping that when I learn enough, a new "style" of designing levels will come to me so that I can utilize the best elements of this unique game.
I have UT2004 and have looked at the editor, but I am not ready to switch from Prism3D and I don't think I can work with both at the same time. When DNF comes out, I might change my mind, though.
Sorry for being long-winded. Just wanted to share a little. Later...RG ;D
