So, you bought the game, finished it, got amazed by the engine... And now you want to map! Here are some starting tips:

(a) The game comes with a free levels editor, called the Serious Editor. It's available through Start->Program Files->Serious Sam->Extras->Serious Editor, but only if you did a FULL installation of the game.

(b) After installing the game, you'll find many .gro files on your Serious Sam folder (default is C:\Program Files\Croteam\Serious Sam). These are actually Zip files; use WinZip, ZipZilla, or any other free unzipper, and unzip them to your Serious Sam folder.

(c) You can find a basic navigation and room tutorials on the SDK help file (also under Extras). Additional tutorials are available here:

(I will appreciate if a mod sticks this thread, as these questions arise on a daily basis)

Just thought I'd update this again...
for tutorials, you should check the
Tutorial thread (http://forums.seriouszone.com/showthread.php?t=7556) and
Seriousengine.com (http://seriousengine.com)

Useful tools are
AutoGro (http://files.seriouszone.com/download.php?fileid=689), SESA (http://files.seriouszone.com/download.php?fileid=628) and SEMT (http://files.seriouszone.com/download.php?fileid=478), Terragen (http://files.seriouszone.com/download.php?fileid=350), and maybe my mod once it's finished since it enhances SEd quite a bit allowing much more complex triggering systems and much more stuff you'll be able to modify.

1. Make sure you got a legal copy of the game (best: you bought it).
2. Deinstall it if you have it installed.
3. Install it, select full install somewhere in the menus.
4. You can find the editor in your SSDir\Bin directory (SeriousEditor.exe)
