Thanks again.

[legacy-PurplWulf]

I'm waiting for the CTF download link, it's really the only gamestyle I play online or on lan's

I'm very interested in seeing how you pulled off a Deck CTF map

[Plumb_Drumb]

Teddie you are cool, (although I hate December 24th ;) )

Plumb, thanks bro. You are too. (I know you hate December 24th ;))

Moose, hope you like them.

[legacy-§uper-]V[oose]

I usually do my own screen shots, but I'm out of time at the moment... I'll do some of my own later, but Sergio over at pcgamemods is nice enough to do screen shots. There should be some at the link I gave for the DM version:

[legacy-Iceburgs]

DL'ing the DM/TDM version. Now hurry up with the CTF and DOM versions! Man, linking the maps is genius! Whee! :D

[legacy-Red_dwarf]

If you want to know how to connect the two Decks for CTF, download CTF-Deck16]I[ that I released for UT. Willhaven did some work on it too :up:

Played quite a lot in Clan matches for a long while.

More than one route between the two.

I wont be bothered if you straight port the routes.

Good luck.

I appreciate the offer bro, but I already finished the CTF version. Just waiting for the mirror.

DM/TDM/CTF/DOM versions were finished yesterday. I'm putting the finishing touches on the BR version.

There are 5 or so different routes connecting 16 and 17.

EDIT: Red-dwarf, hey brother, something funny. I was looking through my maps directory of my old UT1 installation last night and saw your map in there from 2/1/2000. It was one of the ones my son and wife and me would play over the lan... I forgot half of what was in our rotation, but yours was one of them. Hehe.

[legacy-Mr Evil]

Can life get any better than this?

[legacy-LOF_INFERNO]

no mirror yet, I want to play DOM-DECKS

[legacy-Asrial-X]

Now that I re-acquired a card worthy of playing UT2k3, I'm looking forward to playing these maps :)

[legacy-Zwergor]

been getting these deck17 maps since the first rls

they get better and better

17 is awesome

16 and 17 is brilliant

but

it seems to be VERY bright... VERY VERY bright... just thought i should mention (IF u make another revision...)

:)

anyway great maps

Thanks Zwergor, I agree about the lighting. Especially compared to UT1's Deck 16, it is quite bright... I think I like it though.

[legacy-Capt_13M]

Teddie to be honest I've never tried Deck17 have enuff DM maps and don't really dig remakes but the DOM version made me justify the 13mb DL combined with all the Hype About Deck17 plus Deck16 right next door(very 1337). Looks awsome cann't wait to play it . I loved Dec24th and I usually hate the oversized maps. But when I play your map I feel like an action figure on MethelAnphetamine fragging up my Mom's livingroom. Keep up the great work.

[legacy-P_Funk]

Hey Teddie, nice work on all the Decks. Just a comment on the DOM version, I don't know if where you put the points is where I would have (not that I'm an expert :) ). With the added connecting hallway it has 3 entrances where it is now which is nice, but all 3 are on the same level and there's no vertical combat, and they're all hallways so it's all generally straight shooting. Plus getting there can be a pain, I didn't look at all the playerstarts yet but I'd bet that the middle ramp or the new back hallway would be the only routes taken in a hurry.

I would probably have put them near the two lifts. I don't know if the platform between them or just underneath the deemer area would be better, probably the latter. People could come from down the center, both side hallways, the lifts below or the portal. If the point was there the portal might have to be changed depending on where spawns are, it might make it too easy to get back to.

That would be defendable but might make for better play and use more of the map. It sounds like it would make it bigger than it already is but if spawns are done well it's playable. Plus I think that would make a lot of routes shorter than they are now.

Pfunk,

Man, I'm seriously considering what you're saying.

Can you do me a favor and play the map a couple of times and let me know how it played for you... The player starts are not grouped like bases, they're scattered, but none very close to the dom points.

If it comes down to it, I'll move them in a revision, but let me know how the DOM plays... that goes for anyone else that would be willing to give me feedback on the DOM version... I'd really appreciate it.

[legacy-P_Funk]

Sure I'll get it on a server sometime tomorrow and try get a few games on it to see how it goes to give some better feedback, just ran through it so far.

[Smood]

Dont know whats wrong ted, but when I run the map, Unreal just crashes to desktop. My other maps work fine. What's up? I noticed most everyone who post has still not actually played this and thus might not have experienced this problem.

GREAT JOB ANYHOW, you own man! :)

That was a great map, but I gotta give Teddie's a chance (i was skeptical about CTF-Deck16 ]|[ too, but it ended up being very good, you see).

BTW, I notice Willhaven hasn't updated his PU page in 2 years... does he have a different website now, or is he just not updating?
Is he working on anything ATM?

[legacy-Melaneus]

Goody, more gaming goodness!

BTW, remember me, Teddie? Something about optimizing Dec 24th? Well, don't worry about it.

Ah, man... didn't mean to put you on the back burner, my friend.

I just got side-tracked beyond belief. I've got a back-log of emails to reply to as well that I flagged for follow-up from a lot of nice people.

I haven't even had a chance to take a look at what you sent me, but I think I know what you did with the images...

I'm so damn sleepy right now.

lol. I'm okay. I just get focused on something that side-tracks me from something else...

and I think I have insomnia... but I'm sleepy... but I don't sleep.

Well, I do sleep, but it's usually a binge sleep once a month, like crashing hard. But I do get some short naps throughtout the month.

eh.

I think a lot of people do this though.

oh man, I promised my wife we'd go shopping for another car today... ...

I'm going to try and force a couple of hours of sleep....

I'm out for a bit...

I need more feedback on the DOM version, because it reflects on if I tell pcgamemods to release the CTF version cuz they're sort of similar...

Thanks folks.

Zzzzzz.

[legacy-Ejen34]

Teddie...

Just gave DD version of Decks a spin...very nice...sweet....bot pathing seems to be excellant...most especially for a 3rd party DD map....another top quality effort..

Thank you very much...:up: :):)

ARGHH, I want my CTF

it's the only version with no link yet :cry:

[Smood]

I'am running an ATI RADEON 64 MB DDR, I have not had this crash problem with any map retail, or user made up to this map. The crash occurs when I run any version of decks...

PLEASE HELP TEDDIE.

BTW, the normal version of DECK 17 runs fine for me.

How much system RAM do you have . . . sometimes intensive maps can cause your computer to actually restart :bulb:

And don't look at FPS to judge intensity . .. it's ram usage . . also what OS, if WinXP it might be booting you out because it detected an infinite loop or a possible device failure (ram or vid card)

It's only happened on one map for me ever, i was getting like 30 fps on it but my processor was justchugging so damn fast that next thing i know im looking at the dos start screen :bulb:

Oh thats another thing, an inadequate power supply might be at fault here

no as to why it would only happen on the Deck maps, thats a mystery....... which leads me to think its PROBABLY something UT2k3 related, ie. you're missing a package or something :bulb:

sorry for being so general :)

[legacy-Teddie]

I'll be back in a little bit to respond to your posts...

I'm working on getting things squared away to get all the maps online for you...

Including this:
http://www.planetunreal.com/funreal/images/screenshots/BR-Decks[FuT]/BR-Decks[FuT]_thumbnail.gif

Sorry about the holdup on the CTF version. I've told pcgamemods to hold off on putting it online for release because I'm making a change to the way the teleporters work... Just a few more hours and I'll re-upload the changed version.

[legacy-Capt_13M]

HOLY SH1T!!!!! I take back all the stuff I said about remakes Teddie You are truly da man. You managed to take two remake version and turned them into one Very Original Concept the DDom edition is the BEES KNEES man, a much needed breath of recycled air into the DOM scene I am having a blast via lan with the decks cann't wait to try it on the pubs frag yous Later

Hey Teddie...

That hivezone temp link was excellant...I averaged 493k/sec on my download of the BR version....I like that link...:up: :):)

[legacy-§uper-]V[oose]

I was all set to say the DOM version was a load of crap (:) ) but but after giving it a quick play I have to say, you've done it again. I was expecting alot of unused areas in the map but I think where you have put the DOM points is great. There are no useless routes. I thought there were bound to be some that just weren't worth taking. Glad to say I was wrong (no really, it can happen :eek: )
Another outstanding map to add to my collection. Can't wait for the other versions. :):up:

[legacy-Ejen34]

Super-Moose...

I think the DD version of Decks is the best 3rd Party DD map available so far...bot pathing and overall gameplay as well as superior graphics make it clearly the best :up: :):)

Note::: I am well aware the giving only compliments does not help the author much but I can not find anything wrong with the darn thing :)

Excellent. Unfortunately it's just a temporary link. RFChecker was nice enough to give me some ftp space a while back. I forgot I had it. I don't want to kill his bandwidth, so when S3rgio gets it up on pcgamemods, I'll be replacing the link.

Scratch what I said about changing the teleporters in the CTF version. I changed them for BR, but I won't for CTF... (I'm still thinking...)

I did fix the flag resets in the pools of death...

CTF coming later today.

EDIT: okay, I might change the way the transporters work, still...

[legacy-Devastation 8]

Works now

[Smood]

Ted, still cannot play this map. Crashes to desktop with no error message everytime. All other maps fine.

I'am on a p4 1.4, with 640 MB of RD 800 Mhz ram. As I said before RADEON 64 MB DDR card...

and I can run deck 17 alone fine.

Smood, man that sucks.

Which one of the Decks maps are you using?

Is there anyone else with a similar rig and vid card as Smood's that can test out one of the Decks maps?

[virax]

Well, I'm on a 1.5 p4, oc'd to 1.6. My RAM is Rambus 800, and I'm (SADLY) on a Radeon 8500, 65 mb. However, I've only got 256 megs of RAM, and I'm on win2000. Is he?

[legacy-dreamstation]

Teddie - Very well done mate. I played the DM and DOM versions of it, and i must say that you are one of the best mappers for ut2003 that ive seen! Well done! :up:

I was wondering if it was a Video ram issue... My wife has 128mb on her gforce, I've got 128mb on my gforce and my son's got 64mb on his gforce... so I tried the maps on his machine with no problem. He's also got 512 of pc133 ram... I don't know what could be causing smood's problem, but I want to help, just don't know where to start.

That's just some ftp space that I use for temporary storage that RFChecker (here on the forums) was nice enough to get me. I usually use pcgamemods because the owner, S3rgio is usually up around the same times I am (very late at night or very early morning)... he's a good guy and provides a major service with the free screenshots and everything. He's passionate about his website... I'm grateful to all the websites that host maps to be honest -- pcgamemods, UT2003HQ, etc. etc.... couldn't do a damn thing without them...

I suppose I'll play the other versions (besides CTF) whist I wait *grumble grumble*

later... oh my lord... I'm stunned... here I had a picture in my mind of Deck 17 flipped with nothing extra, and that's not it at all, these maps are so freaking incredible... you have new textures, they're well laid out, the bots are incredible, and I even hear an intercom voice at one point telling me something about Deck16... These are 0wnage for sure, if not, Cliffy has lost his way.

O.K. I just played the BR edition for about 3 hrs.and I'm flabbergasted It was the coolest BR level sessions me and my M8s have had in along time. F4n Fr4gg1n T4st1c.

That sweet little voice over the intercom is my wife... She's got a great voice in my opinion. What I had her say is this, "Deck 16 - BioWaste Refinery has been re-opened. All safety rules and regulations are in effect."

I'm not sure what's next from me... I'll surprise you folks again. You guys seem more happy when you're surprised.

Man, I'm really glad you're enjoying the maps. This is really great.

[legacy-Ejen34]

Teddie...

Ok you have to know I am a DD man....I tried your BR version of Decks because I just could NOT not try it.....Dam it played well...good frames...flowed well....bots played really well on singleplayer...I can not find anything to complain about.....except that you are making it hard for me to remain a DD man with such a great BR map....shame on you :):)

One question just for informational purposes if I may ask: Is there an ETA for the CTF version? :):)

Thank you for all your hard work....it has given me many hours of enjoyment and kept me outa my wifes hair and off this confounded forum this past weekend....:):):):)

[legacy-Prem0]

I love the BR map and would love to run it on my server except I am having one problem, it wont upload to my redirect server in ucc compressed format. If anyone else has had this problem please tell me how you got it fixed. I use http://ut2k3maps.gaming.stny.com/ as my redirect as it is a public redirect.

[legacy-Teddie]

Ejen, hehe. Thanks. That's my first try at a BR map...

Actually when I fix the CTF version, that'll be my first CTFfer...

I think hopefully tonight on the CTF... I ran into a zoning nightmare at one of the connecting points after I made a change no where near the connecting points... mapping can test one's sanity sometimes...

Man, I'm sick... keep sneezing little speckles onto my monitor creating little spittle-rainbows.

Prem0,

Is it a file size issue that causes it? It's pretty big.

[legacy-Prem0]

not a file size issue, I finally got a hold of the man who runs the redirect he is working on figuring it out. I want to get it on the server quick :)

I'll come back and edit this post in a little bit...

Real quick though, can you right now start up Deck17 Revision 1 with no problem? I know you said you can, but I mean, right at this particular moment... just to make sure nothing has changed since the last time you tried D17 rev 1.

[legacy-Lio Convoy]

Teddie, once again, I find myself praising you for your hard work! Seeing as I was never a fan of Deck 16, it's kind of weird that I love your Deck maps! I've played all of the "Decks" versions released so far and I can't find anything wrong with them either! :up: They're absolutely amazing and I lvoe the way you've seamlessly integrated the 2 maps together! Props to whoever it was that mentioned opening up the door! Great idea, it works so well! The frame rate is top notch and the game play is just so addicting!! While I'm on it, I also played Deck 17, rev.1 and I'd say that as good as the first final was, this is that much better! The bot paths are better, and the bots are tougher to compete with now! WTG! Also, slowing down the elevators, makes it a bit more risky to use them, and that adds to the strategy. I'm also for Decks getting ownage, this is a first rate job you've done on the maps and I hope you get the credit that you're due.

You're work's appreciated, Teddie, and you've given me hours of fun here with UT2K3!

P.S. Your wife did a great job on the voice too! Nice touch!

Lio Convoy

[legacy-Teddie]

dreamstation, thanks for the mirrors bro.


Capt_13M, probably need to do 2+ more rebuilds on the CTF version and then I'm going release it this morning. Probably around 9am eastern U.S. time.

Lio, THANK YOU! Very nice of you to say.
Thanks for the complements on my wife's voice work. I might get her to do a voice pack, but I want to see what new voice packs come with the bonus pack so I can make sure to do something different... I dunno... I just love her voice.

Thanks again.

Hey Teddie...

Do you now know what Epic goes thru with all us folks constantly asking "is it done yet"...hehe....

Please do not release the CTF version until you feel it is finished and as polished as you want it to be....your track record is of total quality and having folks like me say "where is it" is really not fair.....

Having said that I stayed up into the wee hours of the morning last night playing Decks DD.....see what you started...:up: :):)

Sorry about that.

[legacy-P_Funk]

Hey Teddie, the DOM map has been on a server for a while but I was waiting until I got to play a few games on it before commenting. It plays a little better than I thought initially, and is a good addition to a public server. It's different, looks good, plays pretty well, etc. Spawns aren't perfect but spread out is better than something like the blue spawn on RoadRunner where everybody comes out of one tunnel. The point combat is pretty much what I thought it would be, mostly flat and people coming down corridors. You can still defend most routes from the middle though so it's not too bad. I don't know how much moving the point to the lifts would help that, maybe a little. Making that change would probably require some more spawn changes.

Leaving it like it is would be perfectly fine for pubs, if it were to be used for competition it could be improved but it's still playable.

P_Funk thank for that feedback. I appreciate it. What I might do is make an alternate point location map. But it will be a while... I've got other map projects on the back burner that I need to take care of... Again, thanks for taking the time to try it out.

[legacy-Jigen]

the CTF map is godlike. Probably the best CTF map I ever played. It's a bit hard on my 512mb of RAM, but after a while it runs real smooth (like December).

But I did notice one bug in the CTF version, in the flak room in the Deck 16 where the slime is (not the big slime pit but the small one with the flak cannon) when you fall it it says you left a small crater, not, you dissolved in slime... like there is a 'fall box' or whatever you call it...

Great maps, I love them, your wife has a nice voice too hehe. :up:

[edit : actually I just noticed it did the 'left a small crater' in the lava in the flak room on the 17 side too, a bit odd, but no real matter.]

just played the CTF, I like the flag positionment and the jump pad. The whole problem with ppl only taking the easiest route isn't that big of a deal as i thought it would be, it's pretty much a concious decision i guess, sometimes i take the high and dry road just to stir things up a little :P

[legacy-Capt_13M]

Teddie you have had one very busy week 4 different and flawless maps released to the public. I'm DLing the CTF edition as I type and I sure that I won't be disappointed.
I must comment on how gracious you've been at answering all the posts personaly,You have better support that most devs do. In my opinion I would like to see Ownage awarded to the whole set of four they are truely marvelous works each with it's own charm that sets each apart from the others. If Cliffy doesn't see it his head is up his....
Well I think you know where that was headed. I said it twice and I'll say it again FAN- FRAGGIN- TASTIC !!!! For the record I finally DLed DM_Deck17[FUT]rev1 last night and can't believe I let slip by me. At any rate I will enjoy the bliss of the decks until your next masterpiece(DEC24th is still in my rotation 2weeks after Xmas)peace

Re: CTF version Decks

I may have been a bit premature yesterday and I wholeheartedly apologize if I was...I played 12 singleplayer matches very early this morning on the CTF Decks map and monitored my frames closely...they never dipped below 68 and topped a 100 on many occassions....I like my GF4 Ti 4600 :):)....sooo it appears that yesterdays 10% hit may have been due to something running in the background that I overlooked or something...who knows...working more than fine now :up: :):)

Glad it's working well for you Moose... I'll still check the fps issue though for Ejen.

Dreamstation, Thanks! Much appreciation from me to you, bro.

What's to say, these are great :) just played the CTF, I like the flag positionment and the jump pad. The whole problem with ppl only taking the easiest route isn't that big of a deal as i thought it would be, it's pretty much a concious decision i guess, sometimes i take the high and dry road just to stir things up a little

Dustoff, thanks man... I was concerned about the routes with the CTF version... You should have seen the bots before I closed off the very top route... They loved that route a little too much... Which is why I closed that one for the CTF version... Thanks for playing the map, glad you're enjoying it.

Capt,

I like talking with you folks. Without your feedback, I wouldn't learn anything.

Thanks! I'm glad... Hey, I'll keep mapping.

LoL ... well, cool, I'm glad the fps thing is solved.
How the heck are you folks getting those kind of fps... I need a new CPU in a bad way... My card's good... my cpu is crap for ut2003. Thanks again for the kind words.

Teddie, great maps :up:. So you finally finished the Deck17 series ;). Maybe make a DB map as well? Hehe.

The best job i ever seen in such short time :up:.

LOL. Nah, no more Deck stuff for me.

I'd like to make a DB map one of these days for the hell of it.

I actually played DeathBall for about 30 minutes the other day because I grabbed the 1.4b update from the DeathBall site...

I still like it... Actually, dreamstation's map "Rushed" was the first time I tried DB.... I like it... I like DB.

EDIT - one of the reasons I like DB so much is, I like MODs... Give me more MODs for this game and I'll be a happy man. (dang that reminds me, I need to re-install the KotH MOD from Jet...)...

Hehe, i play it all the time :D.

Troopers Mod (www.ut2003troopers.co.uk) demo is on the way incase you don't know :up:. That mod is the best i ever seen.

P.S.
I'm just pimping ;), don't worry. But it IS a good looking total coversion mod with alot of new great gametypes to offer.

[legacy-Teddie]

Troopers is one I'm looking forward to. Definitely.

I'm on a mod team myself... just mapping. Haven't started yet. My son's gonna love this mod (hopefully) when it's released.

No probs dude! That's what we are here for! :) I actually thought we were behind considering pcgamemods had 2 (or 3 maybe) of them up before i got around to getting the first few added.

oh man - ty for making these maps! they are amazing and shall be played on many servers for years to come!

When I heard that female voice saying Deck16 has reopend, that just put such a big grin on my face - it gets me all excited at what a good mapper can do with the editor! :D :up:

[legacy-Capt_13M]

No Problems here. What does He get a error report or does he just go to DT?? I 'm running a modest system myself but the Decks run better than some stock maps

And simply put you just have to keep these as well.

So also updates my list of keepers with these in Unrealised's Ownage Map Thread in Gen. Disc Forum (http://www.ina-community.com/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=246490) :up:

Much thanks for your time and dedication Teddie. I've enjoyed playing all these and the Deck17 map tonight. And I'll guess I'll have many a more night doing so as well

Cheers :up:

Fora.

BTW, I notice Willhaven hasn't updated his PU page in 2 years... does he have a different website now, or is he just not updating?
Is he working on anything ATM?

same site... just havent updated since i dont have anything for the community yet

been working on other things... and going to school :up:

i just wanted to upload BR-Decks to my server but there is a bug in it

the deck17 teleporter isnt working

:eek:

:eek:

UTroll,

The BR-Decks[FuT] teleporters work a little different than the other Decks (i.e. DM/TDM-Decks[FuT], DOM-Decks[FuT], and CTF-Decks[FuT])

The teleporters in BR-Decks are Team specific teleporters. You'll notice the signs above the teleporters. I did this because of the BR flow.

If you're on the Red team, you can only use the RED Deck 17 teleporter.

If you're on the Blue team, you can only use the BLUE Deck 16 teleporter.

Please let me know if it works for you.

Thanks my friend.

No problem. Thanks for playing my maps. I appreciate it.

[legacy-Annihilator2003]

Argh, how did i miss these remakes until now?! Deck-16][ was one of my favourite maps in UT, and i played the beta Deck17 and loved that as well, but one with BOTH ends open sounds really good :D

Unfortunately i'm at work for another few hours (damn work :mad: ) but once i get home i'm going to have to download these straight away and get playing :)

If the beta Deck17 was anything to go by, these maps should be incredible (and judging by the response in this thread, they are)

Just FYI, Deck 17 Beta is now final and has been revised.

Ahh Teddie my friend, nice to see you again.

Shame you map DM-Saragota(?) didn't reach the community B.P, is there a e.t.a on Saragota?

DM-Deck17 is a classic, i remember talking to you about it sometime ago when you said you hated it, if thats the case my friend have you changed anything in this TDM version of Deck 16 in there together?

Well its nice to see the two deck maps together, should make a hugh wicked TDM. BTW- does the lower areas or the decks join together, or an you just get access on the main walk way?

Haven't got many B.R maps, its not really my game type but i'ii give it a try.

CTF version looks cool, not sure where you have put the flag bases in this but it would be interesting to find out.

Have you done DM-Deck 16 by it self?A nice tech version like DM-Crash would be cool, i know theres one out there like it (can't remember the author:confused:) but i think we could do with one which has the Teddie hint, or Teddie flavour if you catch my drift.

O apolgies i'm late replying o your thread mate, been having computer problems lately which has dragged my down for ut2003.

BTW- if you like DOM games Ted, check out DOM-Cinder 2 by myself you can find it on pcgamemods.com i think you might like it, same firey atmosphere as in DM-Deck17, if not sorry to pimp in your thread i'm bad :( :down:

Nice work Ted-man i'm downloadin them all now.

Hi.

Yeah. ETA on Saratoga, erm, probably Jan or Feb. Not sure at this point. There are others that I need to finish when I have time... (CTF-Amazonia is one of them)




DM-Deck17 is a classic, i remember talking to you about it sometime ago when you said you hated it, if thats the case my friend have you changed anything in this TDM version of Deck 16 in there together?



A few changes. My feelings about it have changed for different reasons.

Try it and see.

CreepD's version of Deck16 is perfect IMO. I think you'll like that one based on what you just said. Try it out.

This thread's so old. No problem.
