Hi, I am new to this forum and looking for mapping brethren (help) as well. I was very happy to find the "Jungle_Falls" level and enjoyed that a lot. There is a basic question that I saw here which will help a lot of nubs, because I couldn't find the answer when it happened to me.

When I fired up the editor the first time, I loaded up the "tutoriallevel.map" which is meant to be used in connection with "Turok_Editor_Guide.pdf". These are both found in your (C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Turok-Dinosaur Hunter) game folder. The maps are in the 'tutorial' folder. So when I hit the > (play) button in the editor, the game engine would start up but I only got a black screen and no way to exit the game except cntrl-alt-delete.

So the problem is basic. In the game folder there are .configuration files (.cfg) which can be edited with notepad. You must open the one named config.cfg and add a line of text to it to allow the developer_maps to run. The .cfg files are scripts and the format that you use will become commands in the game engine so there are rules to follow when editing config files. Google '.cfg files' if that is giving you a problem.

So -- add this line to your config.cfg - seta developer "1" - then save the config and close it. Now the game engine will now recognize your .map files and no more black screen.

Hey My First Post! WhoooYaaa 

For Google Sake I'm adding Turok Editor Black Screen here so maybe others will find this post too. Thanks Duke64, for this nice place to share stuff like this.

Of course I will dude. I have been sick last few days. Starting to come back around today. Hope to get some more things up here for guides while working on this next map release.

xD is that you Rok?

I understand the editor at some extend. Can you tell me how to activate the sky and sun please

Sure that is connected with sector mode. Cntrl+ left click on your sector to select it. Then right click the selected sector and go to properties. Go to the settings tab.

You must have the fog color as black if you see a black sky with no sun. Sky height is how close the sun looks I believe.

Hey see here is the thing. I don't know if its possible to actually add sectors if there are no sectors! You need to start your map with _default.map. Here its not much of a guide Kaiser and the guys are knee deep in Turok 2 busy as they mentioned in an announcement its being worked on. I thought there was some guide somewhere that helped already I believe :S Here is how you want to start a map. I added the small new guide starting a map to the original post also.

Please read through this hole guide its highly important! https://duke64nukem.com/2016/12/24/turok-dinosaur-hunter-starting-a-map/
