I needed a place for tutorials I’ve written specific to using the CryEngine 3 Software Development Kit. This seemed suitable.
There’s been some buzz on the CryDev Forums. We’ve recently been working on discovering the nuances of TCP/UDP socketing and CryEngine’s server capabilities. Well, I’d like to say I take no credit for discovering this process, I simply documented it. I have also posted it here.
Full list of steps taken:
Well, it’s not me, I’m rancid1. The short version is… he’s that artifically intelligent dude you saw me beating up in my baseball bat video. I’m also seen siding with him against a crew of SDK_Agents in another video. He’s a third person character, implemented in CryEngine 3. And recently… I decided I’d sculpt him.

And once you grab the weapon, a lot of red text saying the animation doesn’t exist.

At this point we have three files. A material (baseball_bat.mtl), a third person geometry file (baseball_bat_tp.cgf) and a first person character file (baseball_bat_fp.chr). It’s not enough to get a weapon into the engine. But to test that it’s working (and we should at this point) we could drag the CGF file into a map as level-geometry. To test the CHR file, use the Character Editor.
