SCREENSHOTS:






DESCRIPTION:

SUMMARY:
Small - Medium size, 4-10 players recommended, symmetric bases, subterranean natural 'cave' setting, UT99 (fan favorite) competitive map; previously played frequently on official ladders such as the worldogl.com and provinggrounds.com

DETAILS:
Many years ago the site was discovered far below the Earth at the base of a glacier in a semi-frozen subterranean cavern.

The year is now 2262 .. After the ancient subterranean caves discovery; the Necris tunneled further into the heart of the Earth constructing & fortifying the bases with steel and stone to adopt this dark & dreary underworld for the Tournament.

It is said that they buried both the living & the dead in the walls during the excavation of its bases, while still many enslaved Ironguard & Ronin captives simply vanished. The Necris eventually elected to transfer ownership of their now fully functional base to LRC in exchange for an undisclosed sum of Tournament credits.

Fast forwarding to present, Liandri Robotics Corporation continues to possess ownership rights of CTF-Maelstrom & maintains the site through its ongoing use for the Tournament.

COMMENTS:

• Collisions on certain (obtrusive) trim have intentionally been disabled.
• The short pathways below the base entrance/stairs are supposed to be dark.
• The ceilings in the bases are intentionally dark to accent the lighting.
• Much time & effort has been spent to reasonably accomplish the 'over-all' best possible 'end-product' i could provide for everyone with out delaying the release for months if not longer, or have it never make a public final.
• I hope you all enjoy playing this map as much as i enjoyed developing it.
• If my publications continue to be well received (some of which i've made primarily for personal use/lan play with friends) i'll continue to publicly release them.
• Recommended Neutral brightness settings of 5, & default PP setting (vivid or intense of you like it even darker)
• All your base are belong to us .. (GL / HF, CLICKED)

Supreme remake, thanks for this.

Awesome man, glad you like it! - As i said before in the beta / preview thread, if it meets your approval then i know i must be doing something right because i know you are picky like me .. haha. Thanks for your help testing also. I'll have you test my other remakes in the future if that's OK? - I did compromise and remove the intro but left the stingers.

Happy to see the final - final - final bro

Nice to have another make the list .. haha

Great let us know if you like it.

good job 1x

Solid bro!! glad to hear it plays good on your rig .. If you get it running good on your SLI system let us know to see if it passes that bug test as well now.

[Gussie[MK]]

For those of us who played the original Maelstrom you will remember the map was about the battle not visuals, it was very dark and plain. After a run through on the remake I can say that this is what Maelstrom should have been. The lighting is great, I think it is a perfect balance of highlighting what we should see but not being overly light or washed out with light.

I think the organic deco looks very natural and realistic. The partial Ice theme you have going on is really good. I like how the ice defines the rock and makes the rock appear more real (defining cracks and such). I really like the glacier and waterfalls.

The torches really stick to the original theme and look/sound very real, unlike the original with blue flames. The flag-rooms/ bases are great, the flow through the halls to the flag is very smooth. I like the difference in textures between the flag-room and the halls.

Added crystal caverns are a very nice addition.

The music remix is top notch, I think it a real treat to have a new remix. The Ambients sounds are zoned very well. I hear fire by a torch and waterfall by the waterfall. No one sound is overpowering which is good. I have played a few remakes where there is one sound that overpowers everything even music.

The best thing is after testing, I noticed that it runs great with no slow downs or freezes and I run all my setting maxed out. I'm running a mid range system.

This remake of Maelstrom is perfect for UT3, the game-play is slightly improved with new sniper areas. The visuals are superb. I think you have done a great job adapting/updating Maelstrom to the UT3 engine and highlighting what remakes could and should be.

Awesome Work Thank You

[»TheHitMan«]

Man I hope my CTF-Coret remake gets a good review like Gussie's

[Lord_PorkSword]

Great to see it final M8!

I've never played the original and from what Gussie is saying you've done the original a lot of justice with this remake!
Great gameplay mixed with great visuals!

I look forward to doing more CTF n Greed runs on this baby!

[diesalot]

Good job 1X.
I like Greed on this.

[coolcat22]

woow good work at this remake
i really look good THX

[Foufoune_Rose]

Wow, I just played it, and, sorry mate, but it hurts my eyes !
The colour scheme is really close to UT99, no problem. But it could be closer to "new-gen" graphics .

I've gived it a try for 10 minutes, still pretty fun, but my eyes burnt .
On one side you have "gray of war" with blurry effects and desaturate bright colors, and on the other side Maelstrom. Too much retro for me .

But hey! I like it! maybe I could tweak it later. If I find the time.

Excellent! Glad to hear it .. I appreciate the comments, with my (mostly neutral settings) i'm really digging both the visuals and the gameplay as well. - thank you for taking time to post a mini-review, both useful & encouraging feedback ..... the sort of small thanks that make me want to continue to share my work with the community, as mentioned in the first thread - initially i remade CTF-Maelstrom for LAN play, in fact my friend Sneh made some excellent top-notch maps as well however unfortunately due to a few select elite haters i read somewhere that he said if it got too bad he'd decide to stop making maps for public use and just make them for himself / private use, can't say i blame him, now he seems have left all together which is a shame, especially for the majority the community. (that is another story ........^^ but it's something that needs to be said @ public level IMHO)

Great to see it final M8!

Glad you like it Lord, let us know how the greed sessions go on your LAN with your son.

Good job 1X.
I like Greed on this.

Thank ya Dies! Haven't played it on greed yet but you and LPS have me curious now.. haha.

woow good work at this remake
i really look good THX

Thank you coolcat22.


@Everyone;
Over 30 downloads already not bad .. - Don't worry folks i know we can't please everyone and sometimes maybe people have crazy settings that wreck a map - that's fine also but please don't come in and try to wreck someones hard work with a senseless post over it.

I do recommend Neutral settings when playing this map, 5 brightness and default PP, though it does darken up nicely with Vivid and Intense PP effects. The map is after all supposed to be dark. (I should probably ad recommended settings in my comments to the first post.)

@TheHitMan, don't worry i'll personally more than likely give you an A+ review on Coret (i know the kind of work you do bro) especially if you can get the doors working.

[Blade_74]

Great port 1xtrm THX for sharing ur work this map from ut was sooooo fun
and i agree that this is a good 1 you made for ut3
dont worry bout foofoo

Saying crazy things like a map burnt your eyes is seriously uncalled for & rude someone needs a manners lesson? saying that type of thing is quite offensive especially when 99% of the people are enjoying someones quality work. I know sometimes other mappers will trash others work because they are threatened. your post makes little sense, if any. You sure you downloaded and played the same map everyone else is talking about here?
Talk About Retro Eye Burn
You brought up UT99 are we talking about the same map? There was no color scheme in Maelstrom 99 It was gray. I see you post in other very plain and bland maps threads saying that it is perfect, you have some peculiar tastes. Did you stand under the waterfall for 10 minutes? What Blurry effects?

On a personal level I wouldn't have responded to either your Desolate2 post or your Pm about your map if I would have seen the rude way you treat other peoples work.

[WedgeBob]

Definitely one of the better CTF remakes that I've played yet. Nice to see something simple yet fun and dazzling for once.

[T-NiTro[MK]]

Map looks great it has a beautiful natural theme and clarifying amazing textures, next-gen look and amazing gameplay. definitely a million times better than the original.
The remix of Skyward Fire does justice to the awesome remake of Maelstrom.

Definitely deserving of 5 star especially with the enhancements such as the glaciers and waterfalls, sniper rooms and the view ports everything down to the realistic fire and undergrowth and moss at the waterfall show the maps creator knew what he was doing and put a great deal of effort into it.
definite eye candy

EPIC map,
1XTreme

I am looking forward to your next maps

What should I say more..... 5 stars!
I like the improvements since the previous version (Reverb-volumes and so on...).
And I've noticed, that my >dumb< bots playing better now

Good work, 1XTreme!

[Bl!tz~]

But hey! I like it! maybe I could tweak it later. If I find the time.

u played the map 10 minutes...and IF u find time u will tweak it??
i thing that 1X have tweak and re-tweak during long hours...what a lack of respect to let us think that u can finish the job better than he did...and did u ask him if he agree to let you modify his baby before announcing it in public?

it seem that noone want it "tweaked" around this thread (refering to that excellent starsystem and to all thoses compliments n posts)...our eyes ant burned ...for now

srry for the off topic 1x...hopefully ur map have a ut99 side....rofl...probably because it s a remake

i still asking me if i really have understand what foufoune said...lol...if not just tell me ...i probably forgot my pills

I didn't understand what foufoune said either, But..
You explained that better then i did.

[»TheHitMan«]

But hey! I like it! maybe I could tweak it later. If I find the time.

Well you really do need the author's permission first before you can do that. I had someone "tweak" one of my maps and named it after a gay movie

I wasn't too happy about that.

--SNIP--

Dunno ether, all i can say is truthfully it's very hard to satisfy everyone. The map is a natural 'cave' setting with out many tech assets, correct me if i'm wrong but i'm not about to plug monitors all over the map, it has plenty of additional details / polished visuals i felt like really enhanced little touches to bring the map forward to UT3, i haven't seen a non-standard UT3 CTF map done like this yet, so i'm pleased at the overall success and reception this map has seen in a short time .. close to 4 dozen downloads, quite a few posts and so on, i must have done something right.

Definitely one of the better CTF remakes that I've played yet. Nice to see something simple yet fun and dazzling for once.

Thanks you WB! - Perfect! explanation, WOW .. few words that mean so much. Nice ......

Nice to see ya return to post TNT .. Thank you for noticing those little details that make the difference. Appreciate your vote of confidence dude. I heard from a little bird that your running / learning the editor now is it true? Keep up the good work and make that a 1st choice hobby of yours if you like it OK? - its a great brain-builder of a tool and it keeps some younger guys out of trouble and gives them something positive to do with their spare time. (Especially if they have too much freetime on their hands) haha.

Stop by and make a post once in a while, don't just wait for my releases. (I wonder when/if Intim or iGniTe might be along?)

Hell Yeah! we definitely need more remakes like this

We'll as we know my friend TheHitMan, the guy that brought us CTF-Armadus (and other cool maps) is working on a more streamlined version of CTF-Coret with original BSP, working doors, sound-track .. whole 9 yards, really looking forward to that .. also i'll be revamping some of my former releases and also starting E-Caves soon, now all we need is a stack of 100 dollar bills and a deck of cards. (P.S. there are some other cool CTF remakes in the works, Face3, etc.)

What should I say more..... 5 stars!

Good work, 1XTreme!

Excellent my friend, and thank you again for the help with testing, i'm glad you pointed out those things about the AI cause i went through that with a fine tooth comb at the end, i also appreciate you noticing the Reverb-volumes and the other last minute touches. Are your FPS still good with those last changes as well? hopefully adding the last didn't slow the map down, 8500+ assets & over 1000 lights is riding high i know.

Hey Bl!tz, i'm with ya 100% - thank you for saying what needed to be said on that, i haven't given anyone permission to take my map and trash it with hundreds of tech monitors everywhere, whack unnatural colors or whatever they have in mind. In fact i'd be upset if someone did tamper with my map..

Many of you know me to usually be a soft spoken humble guy so if i speak up about something then there must be a good reason for it. (While i do have a strong opinion about certain points i always try to stay fair, open minded, & respectful of others)

Same thing with you that have spoken up, you are the mellow thoughtful & helpful crew, I've never heard most of you say 2 mean words to anyone, i guess i'm not the only one that struck a chord with..

After all though is it possible could something have been lost in a translation from a different language in fairness though? Otherwise i suggest that rather than dwelling on that we allow others to enjoy the map, and if someone doesn't like it that's fine, but no one should tamper with someone elses map without asking i agree 100%. Not only that but who's to say they could do better as Bl!tz mentions, especially when almost everyone likes it as it is .. ^^ UG ..

I wasn't too happy about that.

LMAO ... I wouldn't have been too happy either ..

I don't mean to rant about this but i was posting a long multi-quote (took me like 15 minutes, haha) when you posted this so i missed yours post..

Ah well, can't win em all. I think enough people have spoke up that with any luck no one will edit with out permission i hope.

[»TheHitMan«]

Kind words Xtreme for saying I've done quality maps, I always love doing them and hopefully Coret will be great.

[euchreplayer23]

Would love to cook this per your request for the PS3. I know how to fix the black box thing and the missing sound effects on the Flagstands for the PS3. Give me a hour and I'll get back here. I may need the uncooked PC file. I'll try without first.

Edit.....I do need the original PC uncooked file. Some of the materials loose their texture when you try to uncook it. Please PM me a link.

[HO0815XX]

Are your FPS still good with those last changes as well? hopefully adding the last didn't slow the map down, 8500+ assets & over 1000 lights is riding high i know.

Yes! I've tested it up to 24 bots, and the FPS is ok for me

Sup Intim? Did you read through the whole thread? LOL it reads like a short novel. The guy that posted above you is the one that made the Ultra Insta-gib mod that we like to run

Yes! I've tested it up to 24 bots, and the FPS is ok for me

LOL HO0 how many bots you running anyway? 24 sounds like a MASSACRE
Is that how you usually roll? Maybe we will change your name to 1XTremeHO0

No, not really

24 players on that map, LOL

I test it with 10 players & it was already a frag fest, I don't want to imagine with 24 ha ha !

[Zerglings]

Nice one m8 going to try it out.

[1XTreme]

Just wanted to say thanks again everyone for the kind words and all of the positive responses, in just a few days there have been over 50 downloads on this map, + lots of comments & votes, (not bad considering things have slowed down here from even 6 months ago) - certainly makes my hours worthwhile & hopefully all the work & efforts of the testers as well.

Kind words Xtreme for saying I've done quality maps, I always love doing them and hopefully Coret will be great.

Indeed HitMan, you certainly have ..... in fact when we have our LAN get togethers we play CTF-Armadus as part of our regular map rotation. I'm sure Coret will be great! we're in good hands.

Would love to cook this per your request for the PS3. I know how to fix the black box thing and the missing sound effects on the Flagstands for the PS3. Give me a hour and I'll get back here. I may need the uncooked PC file. I'll try without first.

Edit.....I do need the original PC uncooked file. Some of the materials loose their texture when you try to uncook it. Please PM me a link.

OK that sounds good and thanks for trying with-out the uncooked file at least, i'll have to upload it in parts of about 20MB split in a multi-archive of .rar files, i continually fail on large uploads (they get 1/2 done and restart the process) smaller files are more successful, (might take me a couple days, but i can do it if you think it's worth it?) it should be around 100 MB zipped, uncooked and unzipped its about 150 MB. - Will this work OK for PS/3 with so many assets? 8500+?

Yes! I've tested it up to 24 bots, and the FPS is ok for me :)

Glad to hear that because TBH it holds great FPS for me everywhere but standing directly behind the upper waterfall, (someone else mentioned that too) it did on the other machines i tested it on as well.

Great map!
Great Play!
Great work!

Many thanks Intim, highly appreciate those nice compliments .. ;) - Hey we did a 2 vs 2 the other night and beat the bots on Inhuman Insta, dedicated server, - all tactics though, face to face can't handle em' with out you and me both in the server to lay down the suppressing cover fire. -- Reminds me of whooping clan bAd's or Kyro's butts all up and down that map like the old days .. Look forward to fragging with ya soon too man. :)

hey I became a user just to comment on this beautiful map!:D

Aw .. Thanks GunrGurl, I'm working on your favorite (sniping) map (CTF-FootBall) - (give it a minor face-lift - mostly visual improvements & fix a few small AI bugs) - Any way thanks for registering & thank you you for the nice honor GG. - You Rock!

I'm glad, that this weapon is still used :)


HAHAHA! This was a massacre, especially with my overpowered weapons!

No, not really ;)Or to HO08151X :D

LOL, yeah your mutator is set up on 2 dedicated servers on our network, when we play, wouldn't be the same with out it.

24 players on that map, LOL :D

I test it with 10 players & it was already a frag fest, I don't want to imagine with 24 ha ha !

LMAO, no doubt .. i think he was testing the AI though because he had informed me of an issue with them getting stuck in certain places. ;) - I believe thx to him catching that issue i was able to successfully correct it though - hopefully.

Nice one m8 going to try it out.

Sounds good Zergs bro, let us know how it goes ? - & thx for stopping bye and posting.

[Gussie[MK]]

@ HO0815XX I would like to know if you have time to help me import Niven from UT99. You seem to know converter very good, and I would like to remake this map.

And while I am off topic I see 1XTreme, you have a top secret project in the works. Will we be getting any hints on what this may be? Or are we going have to wait

[T-NiTro[MK]]

Nice to see ya return to post TNT .. Thank you for noticing those little details that make the difference. Appreciate your vote of confidence dude. I heard from a little bird that your running / learning the editor now is it true? Keep up the good work and make that a 1st choice hobby of yours if you like it OK? - its a great brain-builder of a tool and it keeps some younger guys out of trouble and gives them something positive to do with their spare time. (Especially if they have too much freetime on their hands) haha.

Yeah i am learning the editor and having a lot of fun with it, it's a lot of work definitely a lot harder than people may think and really makes you appreciate other's work.It is a great and fun activity though.

[1XTreme]

And while I am off topic I see 1XTreme, you have a top secret project in the works. Will we be getting any hints on what this may be? Or are we going have to wait

Good question!

Short answer ..

I'm currently working with a modest group of 'Top-Notch' fellow mappers to bring the community a much deserved & 'personally' highly anticipated map pack.

Some of the talent behind the scenes contributing to this pack include: Lord_PorkSword, Bl!tz, Thrallala, Stevelois, Diesalot, Sebastien_Nova, (me 1x.) and Odedge, & some others.

While i'm limited on what i can say .. for the sake of surprise, i can tell you-

I have my most accomplished work todate (which no one has seen yet) in the works & will be released as part of an upcoming map pack from UOF. - - We should be making an official announcement with specifics regarding that real soon. - For now i can only speak specifically regarding my map, - which will be a remake (using custom content & stock tech assets) of CTF-RainBase from UT99. (another UT99 fan favorite) - I anticipate we can have one of the guys make a thorough announcement soon & we can post a few preview shots for you all - the pack will contain a number of HQ; DM, CTF, WAR, & VCTF maps

Here are some shots from CTF-RainBase

I'd like to mention also that i'm actually quite honored to be working with these highly talented guys from the UOF crew, collectively we hope to bring you something on par with the quality you might expect from some of the top notch work we've seen from the CBP crew & other talented individual mapper in our community.
