Launching an 'editor'? [message #70669]

I am aware of the Anniversary Editor launch issue, running into that myself...

Saw someone on this forum found a workaround. Assumed it was the UDK itself, tried that, no luck opening the UPK files in the WellingtonGame files.

Anyone know of this workaround? Google isn't much help here.

Did however manage to extract some meshes with umodel, and rigged something to a skeleton... itching to see if any sort of editor will assist repackaging.

I'm not sure where the problem is. I installed the UDK during beta to make sure I had all the needed dlls and such. I didn't have any problems opening the Fable UnrealEd after that.

You won't be able to open or import any of the packages without the Fable UnrealEd. All the upk's are tagged. uModel extracts them because it knows the game tag for Fable.

I copied the dlls across from the UDK binaries folder, making sure not to replace existing dlls. Then I tried to launch the Fable Anniversary.exe with the Editor Prefix. Said it was missing the .exe.cfg version of that file, so I copied that one across from UDK and renamed it as that. It then started the splashscreen for the editor, but just crashes and leaves a dump file.

I am probably missing something blaringly obvious, and am still experimenting for some form of fix.
Is there something else I need to do to that .exe.cfg file?

Thanks in advance.

You got me. I'll take a closer look when I get home from work today. It might be something to do with me picking up some extra files during one of the beta tests that normal users don't have.

Looks like they just fixed the Modding DLC's download, and that is great to see.

10 GB Download, but I assume that is mostly the source assets, which is very well needed for both less savvy modders and the ones who want to play around.

Sorry if that took up your time though Keshire.

It was like that during beta too.
It uncompresses to 15 gigs in:
.\Fable Anniversary\WellingtonGame\Content

And most of that is all Static meshes. I think there might be duped content mixed in with that. Other than that, I think they just want to keep the modded game separate from the base. So they duped all the content...

Ok Editor works. But how to load modded files in game?
I changed some textures of the hero in ...WellingtonGame\Content\SkeletonMeshAnimUPK\Hero\HERO_COMP _TEX.upk.
But I do not see the changes in the game. The problem is that the game uses files from the "CookedPC" instead of "Content". Has anyone tried Modding DLC?

All working now.
