DM-Calahan2

[glator]

Name: DM-Calahan2

Version: final

Compatibility: UT3

Description:Here is my first ut3 map, but I made two maps for 2k4. This is the "remake" of my first 2k4map. I changed some parts of the layout to stick better with the ut3 gamplay. The theme is also a bit more oriental than the previous version.
Hope you'll like it :)

[Sbouby]

Oui, très joli et sympa à jouer. GG glator ^^

Nice works

[Gunwing]

Dosde this map have bot support? I love DM maps as much as the next guy but if there is not Bots it's a no DL for me, as this game gets vary laggy online, and we all know how hacked the UT games can get after the source is released.

[stevelois]

It is a great map in UT2004 and a better one in UT3.

All the change/refinement for the UT3 version are well made.

Thank you so much for that great remake !

[RealSubZero]

[glator]

Feel free to cook it for ps3, I tried to do so but I didn't understood how the hell it works:confused:.
So I think you need the uncooked version, right? I can send it to you by PM

BTW: thank you all for thoses quick posts :P

[Nacher]

OMG, even if this map is pretty UT2k4ish due to remake status, it still is one of the best UT3 custom DM maps yet. Especially great for 1on1/2on2.

Of course it have bot support :)
You can't make a real beta test without bots, so almost every maps suppot bots

[cobra991]

excellent, I just PM'd you, thanks

[Mr.UglyPants]

Excellent!

[Blazekid86]

glator said dat anyone could cook it for ps3 cuz he couldnt ,so anyone who wants to go ahead cuz i am tryna get this map too...

[glator]

don't worry, I'll give to cobra the uncooked version so He'll cook it for ps3 ;)

[Aratacus]

don't worry, I'll give to cobra the uncooked version so He'll cook it for ps3 ;)

great!.... i might get the PC version just to ease the conversion for some people over to PS3..... i've looked into it a lot lately... My pC might not be able to handle much... but i think it can run the editor, and cook stuff.... who knows, this old 128mb video card hasn't proven to be very successful with many games post 2004.... LOL..

[Terror_Force]

looks realy great. :D
i like the lighting

[b0b7h3r1pp3r]

i like the overall look of the thing and will download and let you know what i think

[ClockworkJB]

Excellent map for 2v2, great flow and good item placement. That, plus the solid visuals make this one a keeper. I could only find one problem, players can become stuck between boxes near the walls, in particular the one beside the tree near the link Link Gun. Otherwise, fantastic!

[djsilt]

good job !

[moomoo12321]

Just played this map. All I can say is it is MAGNIFICENT. Thank you so much for having the ingenuity for creating such a great map.

Good job, 10/10 from me :D

[glator]

there's now two more downloads:

[Nitrotoxin]

Awesome map! Thank you very much! 10/10 :D

New CustomFav!

Make more more more! ;)

[KiLLER JA0]

not to be pesky, but so did someone cook this for the ps3???

id love to try it out...

and by the way AWESOME MAP!!!

[Secundus]

This map takes a bit longer to load but oh well.
It rocks!

[Freak]

Actually get better fps on this version than the 2k4 one.Great map,thanks.

[Pwnzor]

Is there a PS3 download yet? PS3 gamers are getting tired of waiting! Epic needs to make something like Forge so we don\'t have to wait.

[DSKEmilio]

Please don't say that. I'm sure you can wait, it's totally up to the map creator when and if he's going to make it for the PS3. You really come off bad insisting he make it now because some (you) PS3 players can't wait...

[glator]

PS3 version (http://files.filefront.com/DM+Calahan2PS3zip/;9435543;/fileinfo.html) (North America, Europe, Germany)

[Skynet2017]

thank you for trying, glator, but that's not the right format for PS3. Better let Cobra cook it. Hope it works, your map looks great!

[glator]

huh? I followed the UDN tutorial and I did exactly what it says...
And I've got the right format (.xxx, as shown in the tutorial)
What did I forget?

[runner26_2]

Yeah, the PS3 users only end up getting a single file called: USERDATA.JAM, which likely contains all 5 of the files that are individually listed in the zip file that you created.

All I can suggest is to take a look at D4rkW4rr10r's tutorial (http://utforums.epicgames.com/showthread.php?t=597904), which has screen shots so should be pretty easy to follow. I don't cook, so I can't really help otherwise. Seems like you're close.

[rythem]

nice looking map! I'll test this out later tonight and see how it works for competitve play. It looks beautiful. The competitve community could use a few more good 2v2 and 1v1 maps.

I'll put this on my servers tonight, and see how it goes.

[Jook]

PS3 version (http://files.filefront.com/DM+Calahan2PS3zip/;9435543;/fileinfo.html) (North America, Europe, Germany)


wrong files. this map looks good can we get it for the ps3 version? thanks so much.

[cobra991]

excellent map glator, works great on the PS3, thanks a ton!

[Alopex]

Not too shabby at all, It has a very solid 2k4 style about it that none of the UT3 maps do, but upgraded just enough to make it look like it belongs here. My only crits would be a few insignificant visual pickings. All in all a really nice looking and playing map, and great for dueling.

[Eldridge00]

Glator
Thanks for the PS3 link, downloading it now. Looks really cool

[glator]

wrong files. this map looks good can we get it for the ps3 version? thanks so much.

excellent map glator, works great on the PS3, thanks a ton!

well I admit I don't really understand ^^
cobra are you able to cook it well with thoses files? If you can, please do it, cause I never found any userdata.jam file...

[Jook]

yeah sorry i just get those 4-5 files. i think the userdata.jam is the compressed version of all these? just a guess. anyway your map looks great from the screen shots and cant wait to try it 1v1 on the ps3. thanks for thinking of us!!:D

[Skynet2017]

cobra, where are you when we need you?

[odkKoma]

Best looking map yet!

Awesome! 5/5

[cobra991]

I sent a link to glator with the completed cook so if he wants he can update his post to let everyone get it.

Thanks again glator, we love map makers like you!

[BoomSlang]

Wow, this map is really great. Nice flow, the textures look amazing and very well layed out. It looks pro.

[DSKEmilio]

OK, I guess we have to wait till he updates his first post. X__X

[glator]

PS cook working (http://files.filefront.com/DM+Calahan2+PS3zip/;9443330;/fileinfo.html) thx cobra :D

[Suds]

Awesome map, thanks. One of my new favorites. Runs great for PS3.

[woooo]

Wow i played it, its great it will do nicely for duel.

[HellFalcoN-]

downloading now looks awasome :eek:

[Skynet2017]

best duel map yet! thanks glator! and cobra!

[Corey]

Great looking map, will DL it when I get home from work.

The colors and outdoors if it remind me kind of Griphen from UT 2004, a map I play a lot.

[Gamefreak054]

Yes finally Ive been waiting for this map for ps3, it looks amazing:)

[Italianstallion]

The map runs great on a ps3 and here is a video of it.

[Jook]

great map glater. runs really smooth for a fast little 1v1 map. after playing it tonight, here is a couple of things id like to see changed/improved on:

*the air lift up to the shock riffle should go higher and more straight up so you can control where you want to go.
*the walkways that run parallel over the sheild belt should be more spaced so you have to make a wall jump to get over from one to the other. maybe raise one of the platforms slightly as well, just to increase the dificulty of movement on the map.
*it would be more competitive to get to the 50 armor if it was isolated on that part of the map and it was made into an island you had to wall jump over to to get it.
*there should be a spawn in the bottom corner of the 50 armor room between the torch and two little boxes you can go behind.
*there should be a grate above the short under passage going from minigun/rocket room to the shield belt, so you can get a skilled shot into the sheild belt from the shock riffle. kinda the same idea as the square grate you put above the shield belt.
*the 50 armor room and the room with the 2 parrallel walkways seems to scut off from each other. there is only 2 passageways right next to each other on the bottom and at the top where the sniper is. i think it would work well if a couple artisitic windows were placed on the wall that connects to the 50 armor room so you can get a shot on a guy going to the shock riffle or spawning in the room with the 2 walkways.

love the lift boosts up to the sniper. overall a really great map. I think some changes like this would benefit greatly for competition. its a nice design just seems cramped in spots. can definatly be opened up and more thought put into spawn shooting and trick jumping. each add to the skill of the map, and allow for a good player to run the floor.

thanks for reading my suggestions. hope you consider some...

[glator]

thank you for such a good test and feedback, I can answer you on some points:

-I agree with the first point, ut3 jumpads are a bit strange to configure, but I may try it out.
-I partially agree with the second one: I made this map to be played by everyone so I tryed to make all places easy to reach. In a competitive point of view I agree that a larger gap would be better, but it requires a few modification in order to let you dodge off the wall, cause there are lights and beams on it.
-I can try to make something like that, but the problem is that it's a bit difficult to make it look reallistic...
-I don't really understand this point, can you post a screen or whatever to make me understand? thx
-You mean a window in wich you can shoot through but not get through? Honestly I've been thinking about it and finaly I totally forgot it ^^

So many things to change... May be I should make a SE or pro version, if more people from the competition scene show interest for it, especially rythem.

thx again for that reveiw :D

[deejay2deejay]

My gameplay hangs every 1 minute for 10 seconds. Something not right , i got many coustom maps & that behavior i noticed only on this 1.

CAN AUTOR DO SOMETHING WITH THIS ?!

[Mickilla]

this map is great for close-quarters brawls and duel matches. plays smooth as silk and looks pretty good. i downloaded it from a different site but i assume the version advertised here is the same. for whoever it was that asked, it does work with bots.

[stevelois]

So many things to change... May be I should make a SE or pro version, if more people from the competition scene show interest for it, especially rythem. thx again for that review :D

This map is not only great, it is awesome !

I suggest that if you want to change something for the competition scene, just create another one with another suffix like "***-COMP" would be better for the competitive gamer. In brief, don't replace this one with a competitive version.

Except for bug fix &/or enhancement, please please please, don't change this one because like the 2004 version, it is already a must have ! It plays well and look gorgeous :)

Thx

[Freaky1]

Map no longer loads on server since release of the latest patch,need to recook.Finding other maps with the same problem.

[RanShak]

My gameplay hangs every 1 minute for 10 seconds.

Same here. Hangs as soon as the map starts then hangs again every minute or so.

[RanShak]

Agh, I give up. This is one of the best custom maps I've ever played, but I can't for the life of me get it to run without hanging. =\

Any chance on looking into the problem? I tried opening it in the editor but I get some bizarre problems when doing so.

[drjacobs]

Great map, but when I add this to my server it always seems to cause me server to crash or just hangs it doesn't allow you to join unless you disconnect from server and go back in? A fix would be great.

[KamilR]

nice themed mix
*thumbs up*

every1 waitin for Calahan2-SE maaaaan

[eXeL]

oh my...

one of my favorite ut2004,

i played it and it's simply amazing how it look better compare with the old ut2004.

i don't play online for the moment but i intent to do so and some have reported online problems, i hope that it will be fix by the time my server will be up and running.

if you intent to do a competition edition, you have plenty of terminaison you could use, i just discover some of them by stevelois great thread. go at the bottom as is first post to find them http://forums.epicgames.com/showthread.php?t=620494

i hope that if you do a next version for competitio, you don't alter this one because it's a classic for me.

thank for that great map !

[dosse]

hmm... looks good! i try it!

[Eew]

One of the best maps IMO. Great job!

[lowenz]

This map doesn't load with patch 2.0!

I hope the author want fix it!

[m2SP1rit]

is there a 2.1 patch for this? and is there a new link?

[FragTastic]

I have the original release of this and have had no worries running it with patch 2.1 ;)

[Taffy]

The issue is server side. I put it on Beerdrinkers but as mentioned, it hangs the server.

[SkaarjMaster]

I finally got around to playing this map and liked the atmosphere with the somewhat overgrown stone building, wild designs, good trim, nice fire and steam effects (oh, one of the steam grates is a jump pad), very light rain, moving sky, varied lighting done well, tattered banners and waterfall. The gameplay is decent with only a few spots to get caught on at the bottom of some of the stairs (maybe I just need to work on my cornering). The bots are pretty good and the air lift and walkways seem fine to me. I never played the original UT2004 version though. No problems running this map but I'm not running a server either.
