Hi,

I was just trying to start the editor and make my first map for Doom3 and got troubles with starting the editor.

My system specs are:-

AMD Athlon XP 1800
512 MB DDR Ram
Gigabyte ATI 9600 Pro with 128 MB (ATI driver v5.3)

Here are the problems:

1) I can start the editor but I can't change the layout from the preferences dialog box. I get the 2nd layout only.

2) There is no keyboard response to the entities dialog. It remains on top of everything else. I can't hide it.

3) Whenever I start the editor with the shortcut on the deskstop, the editor is too bright to work with.

Is it because of the ATI graphics card ? How can I get the editor to work properly?

I have done mapping for COD before.

I hope someone can help me with this.

Thanks.

well, layout changes i do manually by dragging and resizing windows. The entities dialogue in d3ed is one bar with a whole bunch of different buttons at the bottom giving access to texture, console, etc. This pane as far as i know cant be closed.

as for the screen been too bright, thats a problem with your gamma settings in the game itself. Under the system tab, on the games main menu, just drop your brightness settings with the slider. One other thing, dont use the editor in full screen or with antialiasing on. The light editor doesnt work in fullscreen and all the views will come up blank with aa on

hope this helps
