I'm really excited to use the UDK, but I'm completely new to the Unreal Engine. I can start the level editor, but I don't know how to do much else. How would I go about starting a completely new project? Me and my friend have an idea in mind, and we can import all the custom content, but we have no clue where to start making a totally new game, or even where to start editing the game code itself.

Basically what I'm saying is: How can we start a new game without all the Unreal Tournament content mixed in?

I don't have tons of experience working with unreal beyond the past few days but from what I've gathered, you set up your own directory structure for your project and modify the System.Path array through config files to look for your content and scripts in the right place.
