DM-Agony-SE [Final - Pictures - Download PC & PS3]

**LordStrider** · 02-10-2008, 03:52 PM

Ok here is my version of Agony for UT3.

I was not going to an exact one to one brush, but to scale and design it to feel like the old Agony, yet have the freedom of movement we all expect for UT3. It is scaled about 20% larger than the UT99 version to compensate for the chunky feel that UT3 has and so it does not feel like a one-on-one map.

I tried to keep most all the pickups and player starts close to what one would remember from the UT99 version.

Thanks to Xtradian, Chief Justice, and AnubanUT2 and the other forums members for their comments and suggestions as I worked this project. Thanks to AbubanUT2 for cooking the PS3 version for me and thanks to Epic and Sidney 'Clawfist' Rauchberger for the original UT99 design, as well as creating such an awesome game.

Tnx man. Was this in the beta section too? Missed it then. Looks cooler than the other Agony version, or is it an update / final version of that one (+ rename). I'm gonna test it on my PS3.

**AnubanUT2** · 02-10-2008, 04:12 PM

Congrats on releasing the final version LS ... for those folks on the PS3 just be aware that there is no music because this map uses a custom soundtrack ... the original soundtrack for the map.

Awesome!!!!!

**skcuScipE** · 02-10-2008, 05:11 PM

Yay, great!
Thanks man.

It's already on the redirect so it'll hopefully spread quickly!

**Iron Chef** · 02-10-2008, 06:00 PM

Great job Strider! keep up the awesome mapping ! can't wait to see this on ABG!

Yes I started this in the beta section about six weeks ago.

This is not an update of the other Agony version, but was done from scratch to get a happy medium between "exact UT99 scale" and allowing enough room for UT3 play. This version you can double jump and get through the doors still. I tried to keep things simple, yet work some details, lighting and shadows to give it a good feel. It should play ok even on low end systems.

This Looks Incredible!! Downloading now

Gameplay is spot on! plenty of room to trick jump around and has that Ut99 comfortable feel to it. The scale feels right on the money with that map which I think is sorely lacking the in the UT3 stock DM maps which are awfulness incarnate imo, thank god for the wonderful and talented community of mappers and coders, you guys make a good game, GREAT!

Looks kind of dark to me.

Nice map and gameplay.

Darker from the screenshots or gameplay? The screenshots are a good bit darker than what the actual lighting really is.

**Xtriaden** · 02-11-2008, 08:29 AM

Well done LordStrider for a great remake, nice to see the final version hit the forum.
This was one of my favorite maps for ut99 and this remake brings that fun to UT3.
The Enforcer in place of the Ripper works out well and I like the extra deco.
Thanks for the thumps-up in your read-me.
I am sure that this map will be played by alot of people for years to come.
Nice work.

**MaDaStar** · 02-11-2008, 07:08 PM

Agony has always been my favourite DM map from the moment it was released for UT. I must have downloaded 3 different versions of hack jobs for Agony 03/04 before I found one that was really good. None can compare to what the the author has done here. Exactly as described, the map is a wee bit larger in scale than the original. However it has that same feel as the original and the music is there too. I'm so envious that you accomplished what I've tried to do so many times, but never got it. Well done!

**Secundus** · 02-12-2008, 08:04 AM

Cool map.

Someone needs to make Goldeneye's Bunker

**btcomm** · 02-13-2008, 02:20 PM

Very cool man, appreciate your work on this. Any chance of making cybrosisII?

**Iron Chef** · 02-13-2008, 10:37 PM

hehehe I've already hinted at Strider that there is enough to do just making 99 and 2k4 remakes ( aka, maps that ROCK! ) to keep him busy till 2012 or so

Nice work again bud! can't wait till I get
a comp built for UT3!

**9ades** · 02-16-2008, 01:58 AM

Ahhhh, memories. I remember this map from way back. Remake looks good.

Now where's Zeto, Peak, KGalleon?

Better yet, where's classic assault? AS-Frigate, AS-OverLord, AS-Bridge?

**Th3 Duk3** · 02-16-2008, 02:23 PM

Ahhhh, memories

Yeah, the memories, mmm.

Gratz on a job very well done!

**Xtriaden** · 03-16-2008, 10:27 AM

Hi LordStrider, is there any chance you can submit your map to http://www.mapraider.com/ a nice looking site, but it dose not have my favorite UT3 Map:-) so please take a look at the site if you get a chance.

**BuSyMan** · 03-16-2008, 10:34 AM

This map's a keeper... I like the stained glass, that what i liked about the original too.

**Unit8472** · 03-19-2008, 07:35 AM

very good remake of the map.
btw, all maps looks dark, you just need to increase the brightness to 8 or 9.

**Fuzz2k7** · 03-19-2008, 09:36 AM

I probably downloaded this one long ago now, wonder why I didn't comment on this beautiful work? Nicely done.

**~{ISC}~Jigen** · 04-02-2008, 01:03 PM

Far better than the other ****.

**paradigm** · 04-03-2008, 12:29 PM

excessive use of rocket launchers placed on this map makes the gameplay terrible and one-sided. other than that, it looks nice.

**AnubanUT2** · 04-03-2008, 12:53 PM

What are you talking about? There is only one RL pickup on the entire level. And remember this is remake of a classic level from UT99. It follows the weapon layout exactly. Maybe you have this confused with another level?

**paradigm** · 04-03-2008, 02:26 PM

this is a rocket launcher placed at deemer, also there is a rocket launcher played at normal location of top of 50 armor. Rocket ammo is scattered all across the map making anyone with decent knowledge of map control unlimited rocket ammo. Which creates spam and rocket arena.

**AnubanUT2** · 04-03-2008, 02:37 PM

I don't know what version of the map you have but the version I have has ONE RL pickup and only three ammo packs scattered around to pickup. I don't know how you figure that is too much but whatever I'm not going to bother discussing this any further.

**paradigm** · 04-03-2008, 03:03 PM

maybe because i have utcompv2 running, it switched the deemer pick up with a rocketlauncher? i don't have any weapon replacement mutators running so i don't understance how i see two rocket launchers that are in close range of each other in this map

One Redeemer:

One Rocket:

Sorry, but you must have something else going on. There is only one rocket launcher in this level. It is populated very close to the original 99 version.

I've had a few questions about the Enforcer and how to do it.

End Surface
End Map

Basically you place a weapon pickup and assign a weapon to it. Then right click that weapon base and select "copy".

Go back to your Windows Desktop and open Notepad and then paste into notepad. You will now have a bunch of text within Notepad.

You want to change the weapon pickup to:

WeaponPickupClass=Class'UTGame.UTWeap_Enforcer'

Then recopy your Notepad text and go back to the Editor. Right click and "Paste Here". You should now have a weapon base that should spawn the enforcer.

Basically you can transition it from UnrealEd to Notepad with the Copy/Paste function. It's a hack but it does work. Just make sure you save your level and test it prior, but it worked fine for me. You may be able to just copy the above code and paste direct into the editor, but I have not checked for conflict with the assigned names.

It might be safer to create the weapon base, copy the code, delete the weapon base, then paste the new.

**Hyrage** · 04-04-2008, 01:30 PM

It definately works!
I'm surprised and never thought we could simply access to this code by right clicking this way LOLLL. Great job, but the only question I have is... the Weapon Factory disapeared under the Enforcers >>>> Modified - simply rendered my map

and everything is fine and perfect.

Awesome!
You got the credits guys <<!

NOTE:
The gears of war link dosn't work

**LordStrider** · 04-04-2008, 06:04 PM

Took me a few months, but finally got some time to do this....LOL.

**4TX4** · 09-13-2008, 05:22 PM

Thanks for map and the bump, I already have another version of this map (or maybe the beta?), but this one looks much better.

**VoodooFox** · 09-19-2008, 04:55 AM

This went on the server right away, a few months ago, and supplied us with lots of fun and memories from the old days.

Thank you very much.

**SkaarjMaster** · 04-09-2010, 07:27 PM

OK, so this one is actually named DM-Agony3-SE and it seems more similar to original UT version than DM-Agony2 from HOLP2. It has excellent gameplay and flow, is darker and has more use of shadows with good lighting. I noticed the grass, leaves and sky, which were done well. I like the addition of the enforcers to make double enforcers and the little details that create its atmosphere. I don't think I even used a rocket launcher in this one.

Both UT3 Agony versions have stained glass babes that I could see; my ones in UT I can't see too well because I'm running OpenGL (w/ S3TC textures). I made a comment in my review of Agony2 that the items were off, but that is not the case and they are fine in both versions if maybe different between the two. The bots were better in this one. Both versions are good and different, so I'll keep them both.
