UT3 Unreal Engine 3 Games Editor Access

A method to modify every Unreal Engine 3 based game:

1. Go into the chosen game's Binaries folder and locate the game's main executable.

2. Launch the executable with the "editor" word added in the commandline, e.g.

Saw: The Video Game: SawGame.exe editor

3. You are free to use the UnrealEngine3 Toolset for that chosen game.

4. In some games it is necessary to copy the wxRC and wxRes folders from the UT3\Binaries folder to the game's binaries folder, e.g.
- Mirror's Edge

5. Some games require SPECIAL patches for the editor to be enabled, e.g.
- Borderlands

• Download this patch
• Extract it to the base installation folder of Borderlands
• Run the appropriate fix.bat (Use the Windows 7 one if you have Windows 7, otherwise use the regular one)
• Make a shortcut to Borderlands.exe and add "-editor" in the target line.

Angel_Mapper, thanks for notice 4.
Many thanks to Dr.Zed for the Borderlands editor patch and for Darkdrium for mentioning it.

I didn't quite know where to put this so if the Forum Staff considers this placed in a wrong forum, then I humbly ask that it be moved into the proper one.

I'd also like to make this a STICKY as it is a very important notice.

It might have been put somewhere on the net, but I don't know of this, I'm posting this here as a result of my own experiment.

It should work with any Unreal Engine 3 based game. I'm currently testing any UE3-based games I own, but no problems should occur.

Thank you, Angel_Mapper, I will test all the games I own myself to make a list of what works when. I am sure workarounds exist for most cases.

EDIT:

Thank you, Darkdrium.
