Can I add myself to the WikiEditors group? I reckon I could write a couple of basic CaWE tutorials (I have experience with hammer) and so on...

Thanks,

OK, I didn't see the wiki post before. I added myself to the user group.

What are the minimum system requirements of CaWE? I am going to install it on this machine (400MHz / 320 MB Ram) in Linux, so I can make some mapping tutorials. Will it run acceptably? I know I don't have any chance of running the actual engine on this machine though . .

Hi Stephen,

Will it run acceptably? I know I don't have any chance of running the actual engine on this machine though . .

Well, if you don't mind, just try it out please.
It's quasi impossible to say "CaWE requires x MB of RAM, y MHz of CPU etc." and it works if the system meets that requirements and doesn't otherwise. If you really want me to, I could come up with some conservative figures of course (e.g. 1 GHz CPU, 512 MB of RAM), but I would still recommend to try it on your specific system anyway. If it runs at a performance that is adequate for your, then why not?
Oh, and the same applies to the Ca3D-Engine itself - if you happen to have 3D hardware acceleration on your Linux machine, it should work, too.

( This is maybe the most important point: You'll most likely need 3D h/w acceleration. Without it, the rendering performance will probably become the limiting bottleneck very quickly.)

The editor runs OK, but a little slow. That should be fine for making tutorials in. I haven't tried the demo, but I will later today. The machine does have a 16MB graphics card (riva TNT) and I've installed nVidia drivers, but I doubt it will be playable on such a slow processot.
