I really wish there to be a lightweight map editor, like in CSGO.
I want to start making maps, but the prospect of downloading the entire SDK (150GB, if specs are to be belived) frightens me. I dont want to add guns, assets or mechanics, I just want to make some maps. It was and still is my hobby.

65 gb actually
uneven kernel
65 GB is like AAA last gen release still
Just for map making
For reference, Hammer Map Editor is 237KB.
tardy walrus
It includes all the assets man
uneven kernel
So does the hammer editor

If the solution to reducing map editors size is to ship it with the game, why not ship it with the game, since it has all the assets already?

💀
tardy walrus
Ok but pretty sure its different
uneven kernel
Not 237KB small

If the solution to reducing map editors size is to ship it with the game, why no...
wouldnt work as they cant put the ue4 sdk on steam]
65gb isnt that much especially when hdds are cheap
or a 256gb ssd
tardy walrus
Yeah you can get a 5 tb one for less then 200 dollars on amazon
Only thing is loading will be kinda shitty
uneven kernel
I mean, its a very crude solution
coarse niche
65gb sdk is a crude solution?
uneven kernel
yes
coarse niche
how tho?
uneven kernel
How its not?
coarse niche
becuase its the games SDK
SDKs are usually larger than 65gb afaik
and in the SDK you can do pretty much whatever you want with enough knowledge of ue4
dont get me wrong, a small map editor just for making fairly basic maps would be cool
tardy walrus
Yeah and it literally has all the content of the actual vanilla game

dont get me wrong, a small map editor just for making fairly basic maps would be...
Thats basically the suggestion
coarse niche
I expect that would take alot of work though
tardy walrus
Just for you to use in mods
coarse niche
Thats basically the suggestion
yeah i know. just saying you can get the SDK and do a whole lot more than just a map editor
coarse niche
fair enough
I have the SDK and all ive been doing is making some basic maps and its fairly simple once you know a couple basic things
uneven kernel
Imagine how small the hammer community would be if hammer took the same amount of space as the CS GO and required download from a site instead of being included in the vanila game package
coarse niche
yeah me neither thats why i dont know lol
coarse niche
OHD is actually my frist milsim game
same for me i think. i rarely buy games and when i do they are always either cheap or on sale for 20ish$ or lower
uneven kernel
Nah, I just heard that it was moddable and my mapmaking roots said "try it"
coarse niche
yeah i think its defintely worth downloading the sdk
uneven kernel
Its a combination of being free + promotions + "hey, maybe you can vary your hobby a bit"
coarse niche
idk if/when a map editor would be made but im sure that would be a low priority feature
things like cheat prevention tools and vehicles are more important
uneven kernel
AC is an arms race against windmills
coarse niche
didnt mean anti cheat specifically
meant cheat prevention stuffs
anti cheat wont do a whole lot
uneven kernel
If it is really that moddable, maybe we will see an extraction gamemode eventually
