Fear: Myth II tool (nonfiction)

Fear is an editing tool for use with Myth II: Soulblighter.

See also Loathing: Myth II tool (nonfiction), a companion tool.

Description

Fear is a tag editor.

Tags are Bungie's own platform-independent data format capable of storing everything from the units in the game and their behavior to the graphics and textures you see in a level. Creation of a map is simply the creation and careful integration of numerous tags.

The mesh comprises those tags which contain information about the organization, layout, and structure of a Myth map. Important elements such as scenery/unit placement, as well as ground elevation, terrain type, and more are kept in the mesh.

Installation

In order to do its work, Fear needs to be placed in the same folder as the Myth II application. More specifically, it must be in the same folder as the tags folder, from which it reads and loads the tags for you to edit.

On both the PC and Mac platforms, you will need to do a "Custom Install" to get Fear onto your hard drive. See the "Read Me" text on the Myth II CD for more information. The Fear and Loathing versions located in the Myth II CD are outdated. Use the latest updater to get the latest versions of Fear and Loathing.
