thanks
BorisK

[geodav]

Hi BorisK, that a lot to answer in 1 post but some of it is already answered by other users

to get you started try this http://utforums.epicgames.com/showthread.php?t=707020

place your content in the UDK\UDK-2009-11-2\UTGame\Content\UT40k

some of the UT3 code works but not a lot, start with the UDK/Shockrifle code and work from there, don't forget you'll have to remake most of your effects as most of the UT3 effects are missing

[BorisK]

aaaaaaaah niiiiiiiiiiice
thanks GeoDav

[geodav]

just to let you all know, I'm re-starting my video tutorials, starting with the very basics and then moving on to weapons/characters/vehicles and others if your interested.

don't forget i support these tutorials so if you have any problems with them then just post in this thread and i'll do what i can to help.

ps 1st ones up

[ellement]

site is broken, google says

it works now, ))

[PuckerFactor]

Restarting? ...that sounds like a lot of work...and much appreciated!

I'm a big fan of your UT3 videos...I've learn't a lot from them in getting my vehicles rigged and skinned for the UDK. If you could explain a bit more on how to get them working (drivable) in the UDK...I think that would help out people like me a huge amount. I'd also be interested if there is a way to use custom (accurate) collision meshes for vehicles...rather than the basic shapes that are in the PHAt editor.

[geodav]

depend on what you need the collisions for, don't forget you need to add some bone names for the collisions in the mesh properties.

please remember i'm no pro just passing on the info that i've learned

[geodav]

[geodav]

thanks reropme, fixed it , to many copy/paste, at least no typos

[reropme]

Hi geodav,
I've watched your latest tutorials today. First let me thank you for making them. But I have a question: in 04_udk_packaging_our_game at around 1:35 min there is a block called [DavCorp.GeoDeathmatch] in your UTGame.ini, that you are not copying to the Defaultgame.ini and yet after cooking and packaging the game works. Any ideas why that is? Is the block not necessary?
