UE3 - Other Map-generating

Sfi · 3rd Nov 2009, 03:05 PM

Hi,
i have now searched a while to find a way to generate an unreal map from sourcecode using languages as c++. So my question is as following: Is it possible to create a unreal map via programming language and save it in a way that it can be edited by the unreal editor?

My aim: Generate a Indoor map by just using an image, like a blueprint, to generate just the walls and the floor to have a approximate map.

Good day,
Sfi

Not possible

Well ... it is, but you have to know the formats. In this case, unless you reverse engineer the formats which aren't documented or open to the public, you'll have a hard time doing it.

What about T3D ?

The T3D format is quite simple and plain text. Just export a small existing map to see how it's structured. It should be possible to generate such a file and import that in UnrealEd, just give it a try.

Aye, it should be possible to try and programmatically create the T3D files - as well as potentially randomly generate them.
