Crysis Mod SDK 1.2

Furthur Instructions:
On the first link Seiths Maya CGF requires the other stuff on his web site, do a test run with it exporting like a cube or something, I had him update his web site to also include the link for the Collada CGF without that plugin Maya doesn't know what a CGF file is and can't export it...

Also don't worry to much about the Java stuff its mainly for importing, but do pay close attention the the python thing, it was a difficult install, or it needs the java to be able to run its installer or something...

Anyway, I have all the files you need if you can't figure something out so just let me know.

Setup ftp folder with Windows Vista for easy access

Ok if you have Vista its very easy to view the ftp like a regular folder on your computer.

Just go to my computer, and up at the top right on the blue bar click Map network drive

It should open up a window, at the bottom there is a blue bar that says:

"Connect to a We site that you can use the store your documents and pictures."

Click that, then choose next, and next for "Choose a custom network location."

Copy and Paste:

ftp://er3d.com/

Into the line and choose NOT to Log on anonymously.

For user name type: Crysisteam@er3d.com

Then you can choose a name for the location, this can be whatever I've named mine "Sandbox 2 Project"

Then click Next and Finish

It should pop up with a FTP folder Error stating that "Windows cannot access this folder. Make sure you typed the file name correctly and that you have permission to access the folder. Details: The server name or address could not be resolved." THIS IS OK so click "OK"

Then right click on the blankness white background and choose: " Login As..."

The user name should be entered for you as "Crysisteam" but make it say "crysisteam@er3d.com"

Type in the password "sandbox" and hit "Save password" then "Log On"

From there it should appear in My Computer and you can make a shortcut to your Desktop.

That should do it. if you have any problems call me, you should have my number.

and error I had was it typing in the address bar " ftp://er3d.com%40er3d.com/ " rather than " ftp://er3d.com/" just replace and re-login and it should work.

FTP Login Quick Info

I'm working out the FTP login info, so far it should be

FTP Username: Crysisteam@er3d.com
Password: sandbox
FTP Server: ftp.er3d.com
Quota: unlimited MB

Pre Production Organization

Alright people, we have a great way to communicate now, thats is easy to use, and everyone can see what everyone else has to say.
