Thank you.

Goodness knows I've been wanting those files for so long.

as soon as i start it, it stops responding... does anyone know how to fix this?

whoops seems it was just VERY slow at startup... :p

btw, how can i export meshes and textures?

Haha, nice. I remember the old days with UnrealEd 1, nothing but CSG and objects there... Those were awesome times. Now let's see if I can get something done with this stuff.

7-Zip, an awesome free program.  It can also open most any other kind of zipped archive.

Hey guys. This certainly is interesting!

Don't mean to break up the party or anything, but I've had to remove the link to the file. Thanks for your understanding.

like what rule was broken ?

I'm guessing the rule is between 'Illegal Software' and 'Exclusive Material'.
i.e. You should own a legal copy of the software which contains the exclusive material you want.

Plus I've noticed this thread has recently got some attention from websites such as Big Download, BeyondUnreal and Kotaku.
Edit: Maybe because the On-Mirror's-Edge homepage links here too.

Suddenly I've taken an interest in rules... Probably because I noticed them after I did something wrong (which I have tried to fix).

By the way, if someone were to recreate the required files without including the 'exclusive material', that should be a perfectly legal alternative (even though the file names will be the same, the actual content will be different).
Opps: Too bad all the files required aren't just images... Don't know how creating a free alternative to an XML file would go.
Anyway, an example of this is Freedoom, which has recreated the content for Doom that didn't come with the now source code released Doom engine.

I'm gonna PM matthew and see if they were contacted by DICE or something.  I've heard nothing but positive feedback from DICE in my contacts with them, but I was afraid that someone posting the resources from UT3 like this wouldn't be acceptable.

jas2o, I had definitely considered making the bitmaps myself, but you're right, I don't know a way to recreate the XML file without actually retyping it in, which would make it mostly the same file.    I really hope Feffe emails me back soon, but if they made the admin take the link down, I have even less hope that they'll say "Hey guys, you can distribute this XML file and some bitmaps, it's ok".

*edit*

Also, lol at dumb news posts.  That bigdownload site calls us hackers (in the sense of hacking settings or files to get things to work yes, but the term has bad PR and evokes images of people who break into networks), and says the BeyondUnreal forums "created" the editor...of course, the editor was actually already there, and if the people who figured it out came from the BeyondUnreal forums that's great, but I guess I didn't even know that. 

Then the BeyondUnreal post says "pirating files from UT3".  I guess that may be where the link in this thread became involved, and the admin took stuff down, but for my part, I bought Unreal Tournament 3 SPECIFICALLY SO I could use the Mirror's Edge editor, and I'm almost certain I wasn't the only one.  As a bonus, UT3 is a cool game and has cool editing capabilities in its own right.

Sweet, ambershee is posting in that thread.  I think they answered a question I posted about Mirror's Edge on that (or another) forum before, but they didn't seem to know about the editor working.

Kotaku story looks good though.  Yay publicity!  Guess I'll have to actually start adding content to my website and hope I don't get a beatdown from EA/DICE.  They would honestly be shooting themselves in the foot in a huge manner, however...allowing people to make their own maps only builds MORE interest in the game and keeps the community alive.  That's one of the awesome things about PC gaming.

@Blizzard, I totally missed this thread, didn't realize in the other thread about how you were asking me about the filenames. Makes total sense now!

on another note, I invoke squatters rights!

Hi there, now I got the good files from Gears of War (directories "EditorRes", "wxRC" and "wxRes", tell me if some are missing), but i still don't manage to open the editor, i'm going mad ! Can someone tell me what i should do ? Thanks in advance.

For the second part of your message : yes, exactly!
And for the first part, in the path of the properties of the shortcut, I add the word editor in the end, after the "". And when I run it, nothing happens and finally, I got a crash message...

edit : I don't understand because I did the same for Gears of War and it works well...

Thank you very much.
Though, it works now ! I re-installed the game and try some manipulations and now it's okay.
Now I'll try to learn how to use the Unreal Ed and create a map !
If you have good links with explanations and tutorials, it would be nice to share it. Thank you in advance!

edit : oh, I forget your site ! I'll take a look !

That's a very good news ! Even if I understand well english (I understand better than I express myself !).
I'm creating a "modding" page on my fansite and I put a link of your site on this page, it can be useful.

edit : now I have another problem... When I start the editor and load a map I've done, the editor crashes ! Do you know why ?
