Exodus SDK

The Exodus SDK is a complete set of tools for Metro Exodus, built using the powerful and flexible 4A Engine. It enables anyone to create standalone content for personal or non-commercial use.
Documentation, tutorials, and additional information can be found in the public documentation.
*Exodus SDK and all mod content requires either Metro Exodus 2019, or Metro Exodus Enhanced Edition to be installed, but each launch and run separately.

Scene Editor

• The scene tool is the main tool you use while working on a level. It is mainly used for adding and manipulating all kinds of objects on a level, from NPCs and weapons, to patrol points, restrictors, and proxies.

Model editor\viewer

• The model editor allows you to change collision properties, textures, materials, add locators and texture presets, edit animation tags and other animation properties using the model tool.

Navigation

• The navigation mode allows you to create/edit the navigation mesh (aka: A.I. map) of the level. This is required for the AI (Enemies, Friends, etc..) to move through the level.

Particles

• The particles mode allows you to create/edit the particles in the game.

Terrain editor

• Terrain Tool allows you to edit terrain for your level. Valleys, mountains, caves, uneven or sloped ground, etc. You can easily modify both shape and appearance by using a range of tools.

Weather editor

• The weather editor allows you to create weather presets to use within the weather volumes. There are several options to adjust: Skybox, Sun, Clouds to Post Process, Snow/Water Levels, etc. You can create different types of weathers, Day/Night Cycles, or Modifiers.

Camera track editor

• Track editor is used for creating cut-scenes, camera spans, camera shakes, and screen effects.

Visual Script

• The VS (Visual Script) editor allows scripting complex gameplay features and AI behaviors without writing a single line of code. The main advantages of visual scripts are their simplicity and clear visual feedback to user. Their logic is founded upon the so-called events which are produced in the scripts by specific triggers, and further processing of these events.
