How to Export your Level and Play it Pure Game Mode

 

Overview

The following walkthrough gives you an overview how to export your level so you can manually load and play it in in Crysis' game mode (not in Sandbox game mode). 

Running your level in pure game mode

Export to engine

 

Select Export to engine from the File menu. 

This will write the level data into the level.pak file that is read by the engine in pure game mode. 

Generating AI navigation

 

Select Generate Triangulation from the AI menu. 

This will write the AI triangulation data into the level.pak file, which can be read by the game in pure game mode. Without this information they AI can most likely not navigate through the level. 

Generating level surface texture

 

Click Generate surface texture in the File menu. 

This will write the painted ground textures to the terraintexture.pak. 

For final quality use 16386x16386, high quality, calculate terrain sky accessibility. For testing the default 4096x4096 is fine. 

 

Loading the level in pure game mode

 

Start Crysis.exe. 

Press the button left next to the number 1 button of your keyboard to bring up the console: 

Type in con_restricted 0 to unlock the console. 

Type in map "yourlevelname" (without the ""). 

Pressing ENTER will load the level. 

 

Result

Once the map is loaded you can play your level in pure game mode.
