ChromEd_Users_Manual.pdf
This guide, directly related to ChromeEngine 2004 that powers Xpand Rally, allows users to fully modify the world of the game. The over 100 pages long pdf file contains complete information on level creation philosophy and specific editor tools.

Xpand Rally as the only rally game will offer in its full version a complete set of editing tools. They will allow players not only to create their own tracks by modifying the existing ones but also to create tracks resembling their favorite special stages from real rallies. Besides of fully functional ChromEd editor shipped with the game players will also be provided with a set of 3DA file exporters (among them 3D Studio Max one) that will allow for enhancing the game with any 3D models including cars. Thanks to using Java as Xpand Rally's scripting language the game has an open architecture allowing for creating players' own mods. This lets creating not only user's own races or their sequences but even completely new games.

Authoring Tools web page

All tutorials and training movies for the game tools prepared by Techland should be available at this page soon as well as official add-ons to the game.

This website will also feature tracks, models and car liveries created by players and satisfying technical and quality requirements of Xpand Rally.

We strongly encourage all Xpand Rally fans to register for the official newsletter. This way you'll be always the first one to know about all the new game features and official web page updates.

ChromEd

The game world editor attached to the game is based on Chrome Engine 2004 and features:

• modifications of existing tracks by setting their new shape;
• modifications of the appearance of the tracks' environment by adding new objects;
• changing the co-driver pace notes for tracks together with using user's own samples;
• creating of completely new stages from scratch;
• implementing in the game rally stages that exist in reality.

Take a look at the first ChromEd usage movie.

3D models exporter and car liveries

On the moding dedicated website users will be able to download the 3DA exporters. It will allow for exporting 3D models from i.e. 3D Studio MAX to the format supported by the game and ChromEd. Thanks to that users will be able to create and add to the game any models (e.g. for track's surrounding) and the models of personally created cars.

It is also possible to change cars liveries and creating user's own completely new ones. It is much easier thanks to sample white textures provided with the game.
