For UT2004, I have done DM-Conveyor2k4-XGT found here:

Should I make the same style for a UT3 map, or go with a dark / gritty theme?
I would play it. I think I am remembering the UT99 one.

Yep, mine's a total face lift of the UT99 one, different BSP, lights, meshes. The original UT99 one was dark, rusty, had lava in it.

always good to have remakes ^^ esp if they are spot on with same scale and ambient etc

NO, NO, NO, don't go for dark and gritty, 99% of the maps in UT3 are "dark and gritty" with no variety (I guess to keep the singleplayer all tied in). Bright please. :D

Yeah I was thinkin about it last night, and I like the bright tech theme I did with the UT2k4 one.

Arctic theme (think Flux2) ftw.
Bret Hart

Yeah but then it really wouldn't be "conveyor" then

Now that sounds interesting. :)

I was thinking more of a technical theme since UT3 has so many dark / grungy themes already.

kind of like a 2k4 Goliath or something? or what about the 2k3/2k4 Leviathan map theme? :confused:

well I what I had in mind was remaking it like I did my UT2004 one. It was very detailed and had a unique look to it. I wouldn't want to copy a style like goliath or leviathan.

Conveyor is a great map! The good ol' days when mappers weren't horrified of dead ends...
I vote yes!
P.S. Nice art on your 2K4 remake BTW!
Bret Hart

certainly!

Thanks very much :)
Definitely dark/gritty, with roughly the same color scheme as the (UT99) original. Basically it should look and feel like a real factory, and those usually aren't very bright and colorful. ;) And maybe some (small) changes to the layout to keep things fresh...

I agree that UT3 seems to be able to use maps with a bit more color (haven't quite played the full version yet), but for this map I'd stick with the UT gritty style. It would just fit the map better. :)
It's no question whether you should remake it or not, it's an awesome map.

UT3 already has too many dark/night maps. It's starting to look like Doom 3!
So, please don't go for dark.
Having said that, I took a look at your pictures. They are nice, but that is too bright for me. Something a little darker than that would be awesome.

its a factory, it is dark/gritty
maybe lighting it with some...rust? or maybe cracks int he walls letting in light? :P
definitely needs to be dark+gritty, for colour, just make the rust really intense on metal etc (reddy).. have some strong orange coloured lighting around lava areas and maybe some floor level fog around on the ground floor for atmosphere?

I think i would be pleased with the 2k4 style or the UT3 dark/gritty style. The only thing i beg you to do, is to change the container below the amp back into lava instead of water... it was so satisfying when someone was going for the amp in UT99 and you send them a shock hit and they fall in. It's the risk you take going for the amp :p
I anxiously await your decision

As long as it is good quality I don't care about the lighting ... yet. We need more maps for UT and so I would be happy with whatever we get from good mappers. But I do miss the great tropical and jungle maps like DesertIsle i.e. I also miss the nice Egyptian themed maps ... I guess since Epic got rid of the Anubans (damn! :p) the days of the Egyptian levels are gone ... that is too bad because there were some really nice ones around for UT04.
So yes hopefully as time passes we will see more brightly lit maps as well as maps with more vibrant colors. Also I would like to see some maps like Antalus, DesertIsle, DM-DE-Osiris2, DM-Blackhawk, DM-Goatswood ... (although I would love to see DM-2019/bladerunner made for UT3 ... seems like it would be a perfect fit ...) DM-CBP2-KillbillyBarn, etc.

Well sir,
Rumor has it that UT3 takes place PRIOR to UC2, in the long Unreal storyline. There is much evidence to support this theory. If this is true, UC2 was loaded with Egyptian/Anubans style maps. So if this is true, then the next UT game would most likely include more of this... :cool:
