Call of Juarez: Bound in Blood User Content Creation Package – Features
Please be aware that the User Content Creation Package is only available for PC and requires the installation of the 1.1.0.0 patch.
1.Community Website
The site allows users to easily upload, download, search, rate and comment user-created maps. Forums will bring all the creators in touch with each other and with the gamers to fuel creativity and facilitate teamwork.
In time, additional material will appear on the site. Currently planned is a series of tutorial videos by Techland’s level design team. Written support documents (FAQs, feature descriptions) will also be added at a later date.
2.The Toolset
The highlight of the User Content Creation Package is the powerful ChromED editor. It’s a complete solution for creating and modifying fully functional multiplayer and single-player maps. It offers two modes of operation. In Simple Mode (default setting) it offers a step-by-step wizard which guides users through the process of establishing all basic parameters of the map and features a simplified interface. The Advanced Mode boasts full capabilities of the professional tools used in the development of CoJ: Bound in Blood. It’s recommended for experienced modders and offers unrivaled power and control over the content.
Together with ChromED, Techland provides an exporter for the industry standard 3D Studio Max, allowing users to import their own models into the game (custom textures, animations, effects, music and sounds are also supported).
In addition, the editor puts all the content of Call of Juarez: Bound in Blood at its user’s disposal. All the assets used to build the game can be rearranged, combined and used in new creations.
