1.      Community Website

The one-stop destination for Call of Juarez: Bound in Blood creative community! The site allows users to easily upload, download, search, rate and comment user-created maps.

In time, additional material will appear on the site. Currently planned is a series of tutorial videos by Techland’s level design team. Written support documents (FAQs, feature descriptions) will also be added at a later date.

2.      The Toolset

The highlight of the Modder’s Pack is the powerful ChromED editor. It’s a complete solution for creating and modifying fully functional multiplayer and single-player maps. It offers two modes of operation. In Simple Mode (default setting) it offers a step-by-step wizard which guides users through the process of establishing all basic parameters of the map and features a simplified interface. The Advanced Mode boasts full capabilities of the professional tools used in the development of CoJ: Bound in Blood. It’s recommended for experienced modders and offers unrivaled power and control over the content.

Together with ChromED, Techland provides an exporter for the industry standard 3D Studio Max, allowing users to import their own models into the game (custom textures, animations, effects, music and sounds are also supported).

In addition, the editor puts all the content of Call of Juarez: Bound in Blood at its user’s disposal. All the assets used to build the game can be rearranged, combined and used in new creations.
