Some of the information currently in here applies to an upcoming release, not to what is currently available
SDK Overview
The Chivalry SDK lets you create custom maps and modifications for Chivalry: Medieval Warfare. Currently, the SDK is in an "alpha" state. You can start creating mods and maps now, but it will be a month or a few before we've integrated custom maps/mods into the live version of the game.
The editor will not run on a 32-bit operating system. You might have luck if you try the /3GB switch, but you do so at your own risk.
The SDK build in general will not work on Windows XP. Even after this comes out of beta, XP will not be supported for the editor.
Download the SDK
You must own Chivalry to use the SDK. The SDK is currently part of the Chivalry: Medieval Warfare Beta app. If you own Chivalry: Medieval Warfare, go into your Steam library and you'll see the beta there as well.
You need .NET 4.5 to start the game or the editor, otherwise it will crash. Download .NET 4.5.
Getting started
See Getting started with map editing and Getting started with modding. Even if you've used an Unreal Engine 3 editor in the past, or worked with UDK, these pages will explain how to do things the Chivalry way.
Example maps
Some example maps are included in UDKGame\ContentSDK\ExampleMaps, demonstrating some custom Chivalry actors and kismet nodes.

Known Limitations and Issues
- Config files and localization files for mod packages are not separated out nicely from the game's
- There is currently no editorless executable, so the SDK build currently requires .NET
- Don't count on client-side-only modding being available in future releases.
