I'm new and I need some help

[Ark-Eyes]

To be truthful I've play Unreal once, I usually play Half-life, Quake, Quake 2. I need to create a building in a 3D world for a project and I heard this is the easist and best engine for making maps. Is this true or am I better off with WorldCraft? I booted up the editor and went to the help file, but it wasn't there, infact it isn't on the disc either. Is there a place I can download this?
Also I have no idea what to do, I made a cube and I couldn't do anything with it. Can someone out there help me?

Hey-

From what I've seen, yes, UnrealEd is really the easiest to work with. Unfortunately, they haven't made a help file yet (it sucks I know! /~unreal/ubb/html/frown.gif ) But you should first go to www.unrealed.net and http://unreal.gamedesign.net and check out their beginner tutorials --- they are very good and don't assume anything. Good luck!

I'm gonna warn you right now. Be wary of the time constraint of the project. If it's needed soon you may be better off with an editor you're more familiar with. UnrealEd can take some time to get used to especially if you're accustomed to Q2/HL editors.

This wasn't said to keep anybody away from UnrealEd it's just that I find it's bad business practice to have a person start with something they've never used before for a possibly important project.

Thanks for your help. I must finish it for the end of June and I think the editor is easier than the Q2/HL editors.
