1) In 3d Studio Max (2010) units, how tall is the character (camera) approx?

Hard to tell. You'll need to know the units used by HPL2, then set 3ds Max to use the same.

2) I needed to rotate a wall I created in 3ds. How does the XYZ coords translate from 3ds to ModelEditor? Shouldn't they be the same?

HPL2 uses Maya coordinates (Y up). 3ds max has Z up.

3) What is the conversion rate of 3d Studio Max units and LevelEditor units? The wall was 4x0,2x2 (width/breadth/height) and nowhere did it fit within the units of the LevelEditor.

See first answer I guess.

5) I made a C# app that would (among other things) start the misc. exe files in the amnesia folder (using Process.Start("path"). When I tried launching the LevelEditor I got some weird errors about not finding lots of folders. It might not exactly be a question for you devs but would you have any idea why?

Define the working directory.

Code: (Select All)

string path = @"C:\Program Files\Amnesia - The Dark Descent\redist\LevelEditor.exe";
System.Diagnostics.Process p = new System.Diagnostics.Process();
p.StartInfo.FileName = path;
p.StartInfo.WorkingDirectory = System.IO.Path.GetDirectoryName(path);
p.Start();

If your C# app is in the same directory as the game/editor, you can use:

Code: (Select All)

string path = System.IO.Path.Combine(Application.StartupPath, "LevelEditor.exe");
System.Diagnostics.Process p = new System.Diagnostics.Process();
p.StartInfo.FileName = path;
p.StartInfo.WorkingDirectory = Application.StartupPath;
p.Start();
