[SEBASTIEN-NOVA]

Love Quake III, the screens look nice, try it now !

[AnubanUT2]

Oh yeah man ... I like this one as well ... like I said I can't get enough of these good fight in space maps that are not too big and not too small ... thanks for the cool remake man. I like how the lighting looks in the pic and the radar dish is a nice visual addition. All these remakes are great because each one has its own distinctive take on the classic and that is cool when you are dealing with a good map and talented folks. :)

[CrimsonDeath]

Very Nice!

[AnubanUT2]

Very Nice!

Speaking of which ... *cough* *cough* :D

[haldolium]

nice design.

though I noticed in this and many other space maps some lack of haze or something around the planets. They look pretty clean and you can also see their poly edges. You could put some more work there, but besides that it looks good :)

[ShockHunter]

I like your version too, man. GJ.
But when do we create the "Q3DM17 remakers clan" :D ?

[AnubanUT2]

Nice but I have one request ... please remove that space ship that is just sitting there looking so phony it is distracting me from playing. Seriously it really destroys the illusion of fighting in space because it is completely static ... it doesn't even look like it is floating or anything .... just stuck like someone hung a picture. Could you add some thruster things to make it look like it is at least floating. I think the map would be better to just leave it out.

[Sbouby]

Really awsome .
great visuals, gameplay, etc...
Thanks for this very good map ^^

[Secundus]

This is the best remake of Q3DM17 yet! Even the weapons remain faithful to the original.

I agree about the spaceship comment tho.

[Chief-Justice]

I'm so fed up with all these DM17 remakes now......

[Alucard]

Cool to see yet another take on this awesome map. While I would normally complain tht too many ppl have done this map, there is enough difference between them so its ok. You take seems to be the one with the best look to it. Thanks!

[martinblank]

Gush, I would like to personally congratulate you on having the best remake of The Longest Yard up to this point (both gameplay and graphics wise). I have played all the others ones, they do not compare.

It's not perfect though, but it's the best we have so far. I would agree about removing the space ship. Also, it is ever so slightly on the small side. But it should not be to much bigger, or it will be ruined.

The perfect size is when it is actually compelling to use the portals that are in the map, but it is also fine to not use them. Right now, it's tipped towards avoiding them because the map is ever so slightly small. This is most apparent with the size of the multi-jump pad in the center of the map, the distance of the sniper platform and the distance of the UDamage platform. The ambient sound volume could also stand to be a tad lower.

When the next patch comes out and redirect is fixed, I will be hosting the AHK DM server, and this map has a first class direct ticket into the rotation. :)

You are entitled to your opinion of course but I would have to say this one is the MOST fun and has the MOST to offer. Have you even tried the FINAL version?

http://gearsforums.epicgames.com/showthread.php?p=25202283#post25202283

This one is also excellent but imo it is spoiled by that static spaceship ... it really ruins the immersion factor .. while the one I linked to has no issues like that whatsoever.

[martinblank]

I don't like that one so much. The music is annoying, the flying junk in space constantly confuses you and looks like another player, and it feels to slow or big. And I do not like the modifications from the original. I am open to change, but I feel the stuff added on that version are not to good.

I agree about the spaceship on this version, and I said it wasn't perfect, and I gave some quite detailed pointers on how to make it near perfect. I just think it's the best one so far and you are right everybody has their own opinion.

EDIT:
Yes my impressions of the CD version are based off of the 1.5 Final.

[chaos667]

wow, a fresh breath in standart metal-shining theme...
thanks, now i got 3 diffrent looking Yard's) very cool TY.

[AnubanUT2]

Well at least several of us do agree that the space ship should go ... and then I would say for me this would be a near tie ... closer to the original and technically it is excellent so that gives it big points. So I would be able to really lose myself in space but I like having the outer platforms to jump out to and grab armor (and some other hidden goodies) so that is why I will always prefer the CD version.

[woooo]

Another 1, sso far this 1 looks the best, if you have a shock rifle pick up and sniper then its the best !!

[CrimsonDeath]

Great Job! I like this one too! Very nice visual and somewhat closer to the original scale. I will keep this on on my map list too! I believe that everyone is entitled to their opinions and therefore I would have to say that each one of the versions of Q3DM17 are great in their own ways. (From a simple black skybox to the loud music and confusing space junk) Great Map! GAME ON!

[AnubanUT2]

imo the three I have play so differently I think of them as different levels. I have to agree this one plays closest to the original while for me CD is the most fun and the other one I have has Stingers on it so that makes it unique but the jumppads aren't implemented as well. So I agree that are all excellent levels that have the same layout but done in different ways.

I know I was saying that the spaceship mesh should be taken out and I still stand by that but tbh in a fast paced match 6 or more combatants you don't even notice it but knowing its there bugs me.:p

[Tigron]

I Liked this map, it has a nice look to it, just a few small complaints tho,

The ship, that a few ppl mentioned already is off-putting, i'd remove it if i were you.
The recomended bots for the level is a bit high too, i wouldn't recomend more than 4 for this map, and its ideal for 1v1 or 3 player matches.

Other than that, its the first map i've kept on my machine cause of the quality and playability of it! Good job!

[woooo]

Ambient sounds are far too loud = annoying and the map needs some more weapons !!! All I saw from the bots was just rocket and flak spam :x

[AnubanUT2]

Maybe you need to play at a higher skill setting then ... there are plenty of weapons ... have you even played the original level this is based on? Sounds to loud ... huh? The bots were using every weapon in the book on me and were especially good with the sniper rifle ... of course I played this map on Adept. I don't mean to sound harsh woooo you should know that but I just don't agree with you on your observations for this level. Especially the bots ... but I admit they used the RL and Flak a lot but wouldn't you given those are the two most powerful weapons in the game ... and the Flak is deadly from really long range?

[Zinkkillz]

Looks nice.

[thinsoldier]

holy ****! Definitely the most interesting looking ut3 remake of this I've seen so far.
!!!! and you made proper platforms for jumping the gap!!!! yes!
Going to play right now!

[cUnNiNg_StUnTs]

Best UT3 remake of LongestYard yet, nice work!

[iron12]

This map Kicks Ass.

If I can say that here.

[martinblank]

Another 1, sso far this 1 looks the best, if you have a shock rifle pick up and sniper then its the best !!

Ack no! Not in longest yard! It would totally change what the map is about! If they were included there should be two separate versions.

[Captain_Tea]

So far this is my favorite LongestYard remake yet. I put this one on our server. I like the eye candy, very nicely done.

[D-Hunter]

Superb map!

[Amun-RA]

Great Work.

[b0b7h3r1pp3r]

I am not really sure which is my favorite version...At the beginning I thought that the closest version to the original would be the one that I would download, but I honestly like the feel of all three. It just goes to show how much of a difference a few changes can make. I do have to say tho, this is the best looking of the three although I prefer altogether empty space. Overall very good and thank you for this.

Edit: ...I am still waiting for someone to make a CTF version of this with one flag on top and one on the far platform...very fun ctf for a few players

[FragTastic]

While i think this looks the best of the 3 q3dm17 maps, I would just like to say that I would really love to see people developing new maps rather than making so many versions of this one. We love new maps folks, please stop making longest yard remakes ;) Give us something unique and designed by you. Cheers all you talented mappers

[AnubanUT2]

While i think this looks the best of the 3 q3dm17 maps, I would just like to say that I would really love to see people developing new maps rather than competing for highest honours on this one.

Well considering that these maps are coming out just weeks after the game was even released how do you know these maps are not just practice maps the authors are using to learn the editor better before they do their own work? Maybe they are just sharing their test work instead of just keeping it on their hard drives. All I am saying is don't be so quick to jump to conclusions. And I am sure there is no competition among the four level designers ... they are just doing what they like to do and sharing with anyone who wants it.

[Gush]

My thanks to everyone for the feedback and suggestions. It's really really appreciated.

I'm planning to make another version (the last one) following your suggestions and share it with you, cause i'm already working on a brand new one.

As I said in the first post, i made this map just to get used to the new UED. There's absolutely no competition with the other Q3DM17 authors (and trust me, i like their work and play it).
Why I made this map? Simply 'cause I loved it in my Q3 days.
Why I share it? Because I think it turned out well. :)

PS: happy new year to everyone!

[AnubanUT2]

^^^ That is really good news ... without that Space ship this level will be near perfect. I really like the way it plays and how well the jumppads work. I also like that transition from the UDamage platform back to the main platform. All great work. Looking forward to seeing more from you. Your lighting on the level was pro level ... it really brought out the realism in that level and allowed me to be totally immersed (until I would see that space ship ;) ). I would say that you really have learned how to get around in the new editor pretty well. :)

[Gush]

Thanks.

:D I'm so impressed on how that spaceship struck all of you! :D

[bn_avit]

this is the best longest yard you have got the size sum wot spot on and ts very nice to look at keep up the good work well done :):):)

[Bl!tz~]

yup so nice!!!
thx for good job m8....with such maps fun is finally back^^

I can't wait! :D

[martinblank]

Also in addition to the other stuff I mentioned, in the main part of the map with the 3 levels you can be on, they could use a slight spacing out.

[CrimsonDeath]

I agree! I was not trying to compete when I did mine. I was learning the editor. I am now however working on a completely oroginal level I made for UT 2004, bringing it into the UT3 world.

[Wormbo]

I'm so fed up with all these DM17 remakes now......
Says someone who made one of them... ;)

[edit]
Very nice map. The scale is perfect, unlike some other's I've seen so far.

[Software Junkie]

Really cool.....cheers!!!

[FragTastic]

It was wrong of me to assume there was competition over this map. Wasnt really the point I was trying to make anyway. Just seemed a waste all this talent wasted on one map that was all. It was a bad implication and I only meant to say it respectfully as I think a lot of peeps in the community would like to see 4 new maps, than 4 remakes of the same map. (while totally respecting that the people who make the levels put in the time so make the decisions) I myself thought I achieved this, but obviously
I'm so fed up with all these DM17 remakes now...... this would have been a better way to go. I will learn from this mistake and very humbly suggest that some people out there get some more bran in their diet, or of course give it up all together, if they truly feel they have not climbed the pinnacle of pomposity adequately yet. The term "competing for highest honours" was a mistake and I have no desire to cause dissension between members of this community. I also failed to see that another member, who is never afraid to share their opinion would blow this out of all proportion. Genuinely sorry to have caused any inconvenience. My desire is to have a positive effect on the community not negative ;)

[FragTastic]

I agree! I was not trying to compete when I did mine. I was learning the editor. I am now however working on a completely oroginal level I made for UT 2004, bringing it into the UT3 world. w0000000000t crimson death thats what im talking about! :D and sorry for my turn of phrase which caused all this trouble :(

[Gush]

Don't worry FragTastic, every constructive critics are welcome.
And I think none of us knew there were three other people making it when started his own version.
But you'll be pleased to know that some of us are now working on completely brand new maps. ;)

[AnubanUT2]

Gush you are still readying a version without the spaceship though right?

[Gush]

Gush you are still readying a version without the spaceship though right?
Sure, I'm working on it! ;)

Thanks Gush and I am very pleased! while i may not alpha test, I do have a look at a lot of betas and post feedback. I always try to remember that all the editor has done for me so far is give me a headache lol. So I do try to always at least be encouraging as anything is more than I have achieved, rather than making ridiculous demands. I always wait anxiously for new maps and have no wish to make life difficult for you LD's. I am sure that all the Mappers that have made this level wished to make the best one, and I intended only really to reflect this desire to all do your best. I did phrase myself poorly. :o

[AnubanUT2]

Sure, I'm working on it! ;)

Groovy baby! :D

[FragTastic]

[EDIT] Ooooooh the "completely brand new" part just sunk in. Very very cool. Give me a new level over one ive played so many times before in another game anyday! :cool:

[gotthard]

best custom/remake! awesome!!

[Wormbo]

Oh, forgot to rate it: 6 out of 5 stars :D

[Brits__Hit]

I think this map is flawless... it's just amazingly fun and visually great.

Fantastic job.

[Borgschulze]

Bump for an amazing map.

[Epickiller]

woo thanks

[MamiyaOtaru]

Probably my favourite Longest Yard remake. The scale is finally right. Not too big like one, and not too small like another. And even though it is bigger than the small one, it plays almost as fast. Higher grav maybe, so the jumppads are faster?

The one thing I might change is the jumppads from the rocket launcher to the flak cannon. I'd have them send the player a tiny bit higher, to give a split second longer to fire rockets downward. And maybe arc the first jumppad towards the doubledamage a little higher instead of firing straight at the second pad. That's just taste though.

The one problem I've seen is bots jumping from one flak platform to the other. Half the time when they get to the armor in the middle, they somehow (and for some reason) stop dead in midair and fall straight out of the sky. I'm not sure why that would be desirable or even possible. Air control/dodging in UT3 is really weird :)

[theseka]

very very nice. could easily be shipped with the original game. flawless other than the stuck-in-time-and-place ship.

nice work, looking forward to other awesome maps from you (visually and gameplay wise=

[XxDeidaraxX]

could you cook this on PS3 format... please thinks about PS3 owners!! I will be gratefull

[Gush]

I'm working on the final version (1.1).
When it's ready there'll be a PS3 version too!
;)

[Juice420]

Thats great to hear! Your map looks great and the atmosphere really looks stunning as a whole. I cant wait to try it out. Thanks for thinking of the ps3 crowd.

[Spank$hot_BT]

I really like this version of longest yard. Looks, Scale and gameplay are just right for UT3.

I suppose you could just dock the ship, have it refuelling or something against some out of the way mesh. Don't have a problem with the ship personally. :)

[Laggmaster]

yeah if you need someone to test any maps on the ps3 i am willing to test. cant wait for the release. thanks in advance.

[Xelios]

Dude, it looks like a really awesome map. I'm really looking forward to the PS3 version. Good job with it.

[martinblank]

I'm working on the final version (1.1).

Perhaps you will want to release what you consider the final as a "release candidate" so that it may be tested by others, and if there are any more suggestions or feedback, you would still have a chance to do them.

[pauls2ndblessing]

I'm working on the final version (1.1).

Thanks for thinking of us in the PS3 community, you guys have really stepped up. I just wish there was something that we could do to show our appretiation.

Anyway Thanks,

Paul

The PS3 community actually playing our maps and mods is a pretty good way of doing so! Thanks for playing!


Hey Gush......Let me know if you get the PS3 tools working. I am at work and want to make mine available too...... I tried it late lst night and there were 3 errors (2 tied to the custom music file which I found out won't work as of now for PS3) and the other was a shader issue.

[Gush]

Hi CD, I got mine working!
I'll send you a pm today afternoon (EU time) cause I'm at work right now!

[TheCynic]

another vote for a PS3 cook.

and bump for a good looking map.

[RealSubZero]

nice to hear you cook it for ps3 ;)

[pauls2ndblessing]

Hi CD, I got mine working!
I'll send you a pm today afternoon (EU time) cause I'm at work right now!

Great looking map!
I would love to check it out later if you need help testing it. You guys rock!
-p

[ACE3605]

Looks effin sweet! I hope you can get this baby up and running on PS3's. I'm loving the mod support. It's only going to get better and better. I'm now seeing more servers running with mutators and maps just to let you creators know! :)

[Gush]

Final version of DM-Yard available. Please check the first post!

PS3 users: you have your own version too! :D

Enjoy!

[Herby]

Testing right now Gush on a US PS3 thanks man.

[djricekcn]

this map is good on usps3 =)

[Herby]

Gush I am going to have to Gush. This map is f'ing awesome. The jump pads are killer. Works great on the PS3 (US) and the picture for the map shows up in the Map menu, in addition the Recommended Players and author by line shows up too. Awesome release I guess it makes it easier to tweak and test your release when you actually own a PS3 huh.
Great work, Thanks.

[ventuz]

nice small map, works fine on US PS3.

[JimmyHACK]

OH F YA!!!

thanks a bunch , got us a longest yard map for ps3 (love the twist in visuals )

i also await crimson's longest yard

[TheCynic]

definitely DLing for PS3... thanks a lot.

[MackMiller]

Thank you so much Gush! I know it sounds like lip service, but we PS3 users really appreciate the work and time you pour into these maps. Thanks again.

[Larry L]

Yea, it's almost sickening how much we are thanking these modders, but it's just so kool. They are just gonna have to deal with the arse kissing. Thanks.

[pacowles]

Found a major problem with this map--I don't want to play any other maps anymore because this one is so much fun. Just kidding (about it being a problem :)). Thanks a million for this one, very true to the Q3A map and a ton of fun.

[Esteem]

best longest yard version for ut3 yet.. staying true to the original. <3 the new portals and jump pads. great air control off them also.

[Ikioi]

Really nice, this is the best port of this map I've ever seen (still not quite as awesome as the original though, but that would be hard to do).

[Undergrave]

Awesome map, thanks a lot. It's nice to have it on PS3

[GUNFERXZ]

This map rules, thank you for bringing it to the ps3, i love the fast moving ramps, i just wish more maps had this, totally cool map, thanks again for volunteering your time to make this type of maps KUDOS!!!!

[sentence]

one more thanks from a PS3 user ^__^

[Fuel33]

Nice map, thanks

[Myke256]

love DM17 so I love this map. not a fan of the giant space ship or the sun beaming down light though. thanks for the cook

[Th3-James]

Mad props to u sir, i was playing a packed match erlier on my ps3 and i was just hoping round blending people into chunks of joy and happines with the flank cannon

[SIayer]

Thanks for this Remake,i cant stop playing since i downloaded it xD

[ACE3605]

All I have to say is wow. Awesome modding man! Thanks for supporting the PS3 community.:)

[Captain_Tea]

Final version of DM-Yard available. Please check the first post!

PS3 users: you have your own version too! :D

Enjoy!


Even more fun than it was before :). I like what you did with the spaceship.

[Grinchy]

This is a really fun map online, thanks a lot!

It gets so frantic and you have to lead your shots so well, I love it.

[Tempermentalist]

same as everyone has been saying...great map..its complete mayhem with the flak cannon...really well done map...a blast to play on...thank you kind sir for creating it and cooking for the ps3...its appreciated

[Grinchy]

Oh hey the music that you used in this map, that isn't custom music? I didn't think I had ever heard it before in the game and I thought that custom music/sounds weren't possible to cook over.

[Laggmaster]

Grinchy idk but it think tis posible to put custom music in the map as long as you can convert it to the ATRAC3 (i think thats what its called) format that the ps3 uses.

[Grinchy]

Grinchy idk but it think tis posible to put custom music in the map as long as you can convert it to the ATRAC3 (i think thats what its called) format that the ps3 uses.

Ahhh, that would make sense. So the editor's cooking utility can't convert the audio for you, but ideally you could convert your audio to ATRAC3 yourself and then cook it.

So we can have custom sounds in the PS3 version assuming that's true, it would just be a burden on the person who made the mod.

[MAXIMUS_90]

OMG!!!!! this map is the best!!!!!!!!! thx!!!
just to know, is there some difference between ps3 EU mods and ps3 US mods? an US mod cant run in a EU version of UT3?
thx..
and thx for this map!!

Yeah there is only one thing wrong with this most people are not going to spend the time to learn to convert there files to ATRAC3 just so we can have custom music. If EPIC would add a tool into the converter and add a few more features in a ps3 patch (like custom texture support) then all mods could be converted over to the ps3

[martinblank]

I love you.

[NDN_Shadow]

Though I admit I generally don't like smaller maps, this map is pretty enjoyable to play. My only complaint is the lack of cover to hide behind and lack of variety in the weapons. Thanks for cooking it to the PS3! I think I just may keep this one.

[Sbouby]

thx for this update, nice works, great map ^^

[wisdomWarrior]

OMG!!!!! this map is the best!!!!!!!!! thx!!!
just to know, is there some difference between ps3 EU mods and ps3 US mods? an US mod cant run in a EU version of UT3?

and thx for this map!!

Yeah, what is the difference between PS3 EU mods and PS3 US mods?

[DiGeneral187]

just got it for ps3..love it, thx for makin it

[Gush]

Thanks to everyone. I'm glad to see that you like it!
It gives me more wish of working better and better.


Yeah, what is the difference between PS3 EU mods and PS3 US mods?

Dunno, but there is two different cooking options in the front end.
I can only test the EU version, so to be sure that everyone can run it, I made the two PS3 versions.

[Notorious187]

I think the only difference between EU and US version is the file-structure you need on the memory stick.

edit* - just tried it on PS3, freaking awesome map - cheers dude

[Masked Muchacho]

Truly a great map.
Thank you very much.

[Mojonick]

Gush....thanks for a great map man. Mt New fav for the PS3!! awesome simply fun!

[GSX600F]

NO WAY??????

WOW! Some poople here are really geniusses!!!!
This map is amazing! I used to play it many times in Quake 3 Arena!! it rocks!! I always wanted the good old Quake 3 maps for UT, but ive never seen any!

Finally someone made 1 up, especially for the PS3 as well!


THANK YOU FOR YOUR GEAT WORK!!! ITS FANTASTIC!!!!!

Gush, your map is great! Popped it in my PS3 and wow... loved the space effects and the madness. 11 was probably a tad to many bots for this one :). Anyways, really great map. I'd never played any of the previous versions.

[TheCynic]

best mod map yet.

killer job.

[Jook]

great job man. runs great on the ps3. the only thing I would want changed is the flak be a sr, but i understand that's where the shotgun goes on quake and the flak is the closest to it. however i think mid air combos would make for a more interesting fun map. + you get the sniper + sr combo.

Yeah there is only one thing wrong with this most people are not going to spend the time to learn to convert there files to ATRAC3 just so we can have custom music.
That should be one google search and downloading some utility. Not too much of a pain compared to the other stuff that goes into making a map.

That said, it's super lame the PS3 requires that format for UT3 music. I had a Sony Walkman Bean for a day, the time it took me to return it after finding out the included software converted MP3s to ATRAC before loading them onto the device. Lossy to lossy conversion sucks, and ATRAC isn't very good to begin with. OF COURSE Sony would use it on the PS3.

Great map... Best yard remake yet. Nicely done.

[The Chimpy]

I've tried out a fair number of Q3DM17 remakes - this one's my personal favourite. Nice going.

[Aratacus]

well... i have had this map on PS3 for quite a while..... and its by far the funnest, fastest action map out of my whole collection.... i have gotten more maps since getting this one... but this one is so fun, i start the cycle out with it, even if i'm testing another map.... i love it... great job....! i think its the best map period.... great remake....

[odkKoma]

Really, really great!

My favorite custom map atm! :)
Glad to see you fixed the "dead spaceship".

Update:
There are three things left that bother me:

1) The rings around the blue planet don't look that great. I'd remove them or even the whole planet!

2) The shining glow of the yellow planet seems to get cut off from some space textures(?). It looks kinda bad when it's moving and you can see exactly where the glowing rays get cut off. Maybe make the glow smaller?

3) MOST IMPORTANT! Please make the background rotate SLOWLY! ATM it doesn't rotate at all which is alright, but it would add a lot more dynamic if it was moving a little. Just don't make people sick by rotating too fast ;)

Other than that! Wow! Look at it! The level is so beautiful and plays very well too. Nice improvement on the bot paths!

Thanks all for the feedback!
odkKoma, I'm sorry, but this is the final release for DM-Yard-Se and I'm just working on another new map.
I don't plan any other update. Btw, nice screen! ;)

[RWX]

Gush.................What a fantastic revisualisation you've done on the old Q3DM17. There are shedloads of remakes of this map, but Kudos to you, you have really made it your own and not some miserable imitation of the original. I envy you guys with the skills to build these levels, but am wearying of the constant straight copying of old levels. How I wish more people would take your lead. If any of you level builders out there are reading this ...... if you haven't got the imagination to design an original level please please please do something really original with the design of the level you are copying! Can't wait to see your next map.

[Gush]

Thank you for playing it!

[djrussell]

Hey nice work dude, good to see theres a PS3 version available as well.

Cheers

[Necrotard]

One of my favorite Quake 3 maps. There are three versions of this map on these forums for UT3. I downloaded them all. I'd just like to stop by and say this is my favorite one of the three. I deleted the other two.

[Gush]

Thank you for the feedback.
The other Q3DM17 versions are just different but as fun as mine to play. ;)

[SEBASTIEN-NOVA]

Well done,
this Q3DM17's remake is the only to get !

[theWaver]

I'm sorry, but this is the final release for DM-Yard-Se and I'm just working on another new map.
I don't plan any other update.

Too bad :(... I was just about to suggest some minor changes... oh what the hell, I'll just post them here anyway... :P

- the blue beam that slides below the grid near the rocket launchers seems a bit misplaced... any color between red and yellow would fit better IMO.
- the portals would look alot nicer if they were vertical see-through elipses... ALOT better!
- the platform near the sniper rifle should be smaller... I remember playing the original Q3 map and thinking to myself "OMG I'm gonna fall!" all the time. Your map is already bigger by nature wich kind of takes away the feeling though not that much, but atleast this area would be critical. (I like the area near the flack cannon bigger like you made it though... only the area next to the sniper and the width of the mid-level ground next to the RL seems too big)

Other than that many congratulations! looks even better than the Yard in Q4, and ofcourse, any other Yard here for UT3 so far! :D

EDIT: forgot to mention the "raylee" (I don't know how to spell that, it's some sort of fence) next to the flack cannons should be solid wall. Why? So that the flechettes bounce back from it ;)

[Fad]

love this map, deffo the best q3dm17 remake out there :) thanks for making it!

[RanShak]

Heh, guess I'm the only one who crashes when I look at the sun on this map. Oh well, fantastic job, nonetheless.

[Vonhammer]

very good runs a treat on ps3, thanks

[Neocane]

looks great man, very nice job and attention to detail! :D

[Serenity]

I can't download it. Stupid FileFront is preventing me.

"There was an error processing your request; it appears to be invalid or there was an error with your conection. Please wait while your request is retried... "

[RanShak]

Found the problem. If you have the Claustrophoby map installed along with this one, it will crash if you look at the sun. You can fix this if you delete Claustrophoby's effects folder, but then Claustrophoby doesn't work.

[Sfred]

I can't download it. Stupid FileFront is preventing me.

"There was an error processing your request; it appears to be invalid or there was an error with your conection. Please wait while your request is retried... "

yes, me too. i hope error will be fixed soon :S

[Gush]

Added some more links in the first page for you guys.
Have fun!

[WotPal]

I've just started downloading content for the PS3 version, and I have to say that this is one of the better maps I've seen. Fantastic gameplay, excellent open map and perfect scale. I never played the original, but I can see why it's a favourite.

[Zemious]

Definitely my favorite map out of the Quake series!
I'm downloading right now.

[Sfred]

Added some more links in the first page for you guys.
Have fun!

Thanks, friend.. But is there any additional ps3 eu link : (

[george5078]

i like this map so much :D

[SkaarjMaster]

First, I want to say that the ambient sounds seem fine to me, all the sizes of the platforms and stuff work fine for me, and all the jumppads are perfect! This is a good remake with the sun and nebula, but you could have left out the blinding (ok, not really that blinding) flash sunbeam thing. I like the nice golden brown/gold color to the whole map and interestingly blue teleporter design. The bots are good and, oh yes, the gameplay is a fun as the original Q3DM17 map and the original UT remake.

What are the other Q3DM17 remakes people were talking about?
EDIT: nevermind;)
