Getting Started

There are a couple of options when it comes to getting the editor started. The most common option being from within the game client.

Loading the Editor
The Editor may also be run directly without launching the game client by creating a shortcut from the Installation Directory.
 * 1) Start Shadowrun Returns
 * 2) From the Main Menu select Content
 * 3) Select Run Shadowrun Editor

Note: The Editor does not require the game client to be running. However, in order to test your scene you will have to have the game client open.

Initial Setup
If this is your first time using the editor with one of the game clients you are going to want to modify the content packs search path. This will modify the folders that are searched through when selecting Content Pack Dependencies.

Setup

 * 1) Select File -> Edit Content Pack Search Path
