LayOut Starter Kit

[Chris Newman]

Anytime i have joined a new project, rather it be unreal or idtech i always make a layout kit so i don't get distracted by the existing artwork.

+ You can post WIP stuff in a more professional matter without showing default unreal players ext...

I made a little starter kit in my spare time for you guys.......enjoy.

That's interesting. Could be rather useful :]

Well done!

[Analdin]

Especially the Block Guys could be useful for displaying animations... well done!

[Arixsus]

Well done, and thank you. I am sure a lot of people will find this as a great starting point for their projects, and I know I too will find away to use this awesome contribution!

[Chris Newman]

Thanks guys

I'm currently working on a weapon and level construction kit too.

With a level kit you can build your level so perfect you should never have to touch the concordance editor.

Here is an example i made for our METALVERSE project a year ago using a construction kit.

100% perfect alignment.

Cheers.

LOL...I never played ut99 but i will have to take a look.

That was part of an art style package i pitched to the other team members.
It was tagged **** and declined a long time ago.

LOL...I never played ut99 but i will have to take a look.

Definitely, ONLY things missing is a camera arm coming down from the ceiling and a railing around the inner circle there.
Here Take a look at the end.

Even a pic near the end

Ha!.....Your right.

But my version is better

[GeekyPayback]

When I try and load this into the UDK editor I get the following message

Unable to load package (..\..\UDKGame\Content\FF\Characters\Layout.upk) PackageVersion 727, MaxExpected 706 : LicenseePackageVersion 0, MaxExpected 0.

Do I need a specific version of the UDK to view this file?

[Chris Newman]

Im sorry

I compiled it with the june version....

I did not know you could only go up in version and not down with all packages.

Let me know what version you are using and i will compile one for you.

Thanks.

I never replied to say thanks for this!

It imported correctly, but I've not tried to use it in a game yet. Just trying to figure that out now
