Questions about Spark and pre-orders

I have some questions about the editor:

1. Will only special pre-orderers or also normal pre-orderers get access?
2. Is there some form of mapping guidelines coming with the editor?
I am looking for answers on dimensions, player speed, if skulks can pass through each other in narrow spaces (oh think of the traffic jams in ventilation systems), ducking height of marines, breakable objects, door welding and so forth.

    These questions are answered elsewhere, but I'll answer them here too.

    1. Special AND Normal pre-orderers get access to the tools (but only special orders will get alpha access).

    2. A mapping guidelines document has been produced and is currently being worked on. I don't have a date for when it will be available, but it will include gameplay details.

    Thx for the answers. Will skulks be able to jump vertically into the air and stick to walls?

    That will probably be answered in the design guidelines :)

    As long as some things do not hover without flapping, I'm happy!

    I pre-ordered special edition. I thought my graphics card is a "DirectX 9 level graphics card" but editor doesn't show me map-content, so I'm not sure anymore about this.
    I have a Radeon X300 - mentioned <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radeon_R300" target="_blank">here</a> as an "entry-level card". I already played games, were directX 9 was necessary - without any problems.

    Is <a href="http://www.flauckner.de/space/spark-editor-bug.jpg" target="_blank">this</a> a trouble with editor or do i need to buy a new graphics card??

    Update: I updated the driver, now it works.
