= Well, some of the maps i think its most great from Unreal is the epic queen's boss battle, the last map, then the idea to recreate that map came to my head, now i even stopped my mod's working to re-create it, but, warning: this map have some high visual effects, if your PC is slow like mine it should not run totally smooth, i even added anti-portals, and a distant fog that is not distant hehehe, anyway, there has a new weapon created by Radiosity, really Thanks to him, it is used as the 'Razor Jack' from Unreal 1 and Unreal Tournament, i hope you like it, enjoys

Note: This is the final version, i know there are a lot of shields near the middle, many pickups, but its the way how the map should be:You spawn near the walls, load up weapons & ammo then go to the middle to be the stronger, basically a match at the old style 'King Of The Hill', im making also a CTF4 version, but, its not finished yet, i has been a little busy with my band so maybe later i will finish it and then release since i have a time to do it.

Thanks.

Well I'm not even considering putting it on my server, because as worded, no one has permission to even play it. You need to change it into something that makes sense.

Try this:

DO NOT modify this map without my permission.

Simple and to the point.

[LIPRampage]

LoL why it not makes sense?i said it cannot be uploaded on the internet as 'modified' version, but the original yes, and i dont care about this, i upload my works on the internet to people enjoy
And bots play well at instant action, so...

[jefe]

It doesn't make sense because it's poorly worded, and well, comes off very hostile. I'm sorry but half the time I read your posts I have to read it again to figure out what you really mean. I understand English isn't your primary language, I'm just trying to help you.

I think you have understood wrong, the = are there cuz i was too lazy to remove them lol, truely it says this:

1-Nobody has the authorization to use this map for any usage or uploading at the internet to you take the credit from my work, but upload at any server the ORIGINAL map you can, just please not rename, modify or do anything that removes it originality, or the map's online compatibility may not work.

Fixed it now

= 2-Dont put it on a CD and sell it for money or any trading never!You have no explict permission from both me and Epic Games to do this.

As this is a very important part and also very important for you, let me try to rephrase it:

1-Nobody is allowed to modify or upload this map to the internet to take credit for it, but you may use and upload the original map. Please do not rename, modify or do anything that makes the map stop looking like one of my maps, also the online compatiblity could be broken.
2-You are not allowed to put this map on a CD and sell it for money or trade with it! You have no explicit permission for that by neither me, nor Epic Games.

I hope that is both understandable by other users and fits with what you want to say. I recommend using this if it is what you want to express to make it clear for everyone.


To the map:
Yay for you still posting your maps here!

If this map is a recreation of the Unreal queen battle, how about adding one of those queens from the satore pack?

I like the idea of marked spawn points, i always was unsure about that and afraid of being telefragged by someone spawning lol...

I generally like armor shards in maps so another thumbs up for that.

Haven't tested it yet, though.

[LIPRampage]

Mmmm good way you said, i fixed it and putted as you said
Thanks, i hope you like when test it, enjoys

[LIPRampage]

One more thing i forgot to say(talking about authorization):
Sly., if you want this map to use in your single player mod i allow you , i know you are making a mod like Unreal, and if it have some passage between the queen's nest i allow you to use my map for your creations

Thanks.

I loved the original Unreal (and I still do), thanks for this remake Rampy

EDIT:

Well I'm not even considering putting it on my server, because as worded, no one has permission to even play it.

LOL!

[LIPRampage]

Np, what other maps you think they would be cool to re-make them?
I can do them for you

[JimmyCognitti]

Well, I think you should make a remake of "DM-Mojo" (there's already a remake available, but it's kinda poor: DM-Mojo).
I'm pretty sure you can make a better version with high-res textures and better lighting.

Also, we need a decent remake of "DM-Closer" (UT99 map included in Epic's Bonus Pack 4). Again, there's already a remake of this map... And again, it's pretty poor: Click Here.
I think you could improve it a lot!

Cheers and keep up the great work!

[LIPRampage]

Well, im doing the remake of DM-Mojo][ from Unreal Tournament 1999, but about the map DM-Closer i cant promise anything because i dont know it.

[Baryonyx]

So I finally got around to testing this and have to say that this is a pretty good map.
It is in arena-style as the Unreal queen battle that this was inspired from. I personally think that there are too many pickups but that is my personal opinion. The dark green colour and fog fits the mothership theme, alsong with the bright green energy transmitters.
I think this map would work well with chaos melee or chaos weapons.
When I played it with ballistic weapons and 8 player TDM, the map got pretty laggy soon, when I looked in the middle.

[Nemephosis]

"1-Nobody has the authorization to use this map for any usage"

That technically means we are not allowed to play it, because that would be "any usage".

[Baryonyx]

Stop picking on this, LIPRampage updated that and now it's not confusing anymore.

[Azarael]

Doesn't really matter what you put in there, with no means of enforcement nobody cares.

[LIPRampage]

LoL thanks the feedback all!!
The Mojo 3 is set awork!!

Did good progress now, just had some troubles with BSP holes because the quality was a bit too high, so, i needed to reduce some brushes, but now is better, it will be finished in some days i think

Thanks.

LipRampage the maps pretty good just one problem the bots seem to use the lower level more then the second and have problems getting to the U damage.

Also not many Weapons placements around the maps I use the BW 2.5 Mod so that could be the issue but I don't think so.

Overall good map.

If you looking into making more maps m8 try this one Quake III Arena Q3DM5 it's cool used play all the itme as Sorlag.

[LIPRampage]

LoL q3dm5?my favorite q3 map is q3dm17 with IU mod
join the server 208.43.15.39 at the port 27960 to we fight someday

Anyway, talking about the map:

Bots dont get much UDamage, really, i have noticed this, they prefer be taking health and shields at the lower part to be stronger than take the UDmg to rape everyone who they find at their way.
They stand lower because there are many health/shields, and you know how ambition is like , always wanting be more and more powerful lol

You think the map has not enough weapons?
LoL i think there are too much kind of weapons, but they are a little hidden in the corners of the map hehehe

Anyway, im glad you like my map
Thanks for downloading & commenting

...I can't see this map in the menu. Not sure what the deal is, but I couldn't see Gen Mo Kai Paradise either and I DLed both again and reinstalled and GMK Paradise suddenly appeared but still not this one. Any ideas? Does the ripjack have to be installed?

[Private Tux]

Nice map LIPRampage. Although, it's bright and hard to see when the bots are lurking around somewhere but its fun. Tiny shields is similar to Health Vials and quite trippy and weapon placements are very common. Good gameplay and don't let the bots grab the UDamage out of you.

...I can't see this map in the menu. Not sure what the deal is, but I couldn't see Gen Mo Kai Paradise either and I DLed both again and reinstalled and GMK Paradise suddenly appeared but still not this one. Any ideas? Does the ripjack have to be installed?

Of course. This map includes the bonus weapon, Ripjack, so does that in the ReadMe file, you should extract (or unzip) the archive (titled DM-LIP-QueensNest2004) to your base UT2004 directory. But there are fewer maps that includes any of the bonus weapons. No one will suggest that way.

[SkaarjMaster]

yep, I guess I'll have to install that ripjack......I'll try that later tonight. Thanks.

EDIT: ok, it worked this time.

I like the custom music and good addition of the armor shards. I like the fog and the green towers in this one. This has wide-open gameplay, but it seems like I almost never have the weapon I want so it's a good thing there are lots of health and armor. The bots are fairly good in this as well it seems like.

[LIPRampage]

Well, i truely don't know what the hell happened here, because i'm sure i replied to your post skaarj master, but the reply didn't appeared here, anyway, i'm glad that you solved the problem and played my maps, thank you for playing!

Thanks.
