Just for fun

[legacy-gargorias]

I was fiddling around with the terrain editor last month and I got this cool idea for a fun map. A deathmatch on top of a high mountain covered in snow. Yep nothing but snow and steep sides which made for some pretty cool angled fighting. To top it all off I added easily accesed powerups on the top but with a twist, I put kickers on them and that made for even more fun.
There is nothing special about this map no fancy graphics but the gameplay is unique I think. This is an older level of mine but I have had a lot of postive feedback about the fun factor and unique gameplay so I thought I would just let all you cool guys and gals here know about it. It's a relatively small download and I,m sure you will have lots of fun playing it.

Pleas let me now if you have any other ideas for a simple but fun map and I may just create it.

Can you set the friction of a surface so that you can simulate ice? That would make it all the more precarious, especially with steep cliff sides.

:bulb: Sorry people!! I fixed the download link.
Xeonicus: I'll have to get back to you on that one, I,m not sure!

yes, the unreal editor has the ability to do that

Seal - Nope, not any more.

Surface physics are disabled in this build, just like true reflective services. I don't know why, but that's the way it is. Sorry

They're not disabled, you just have to do them a different way - you can use a volume to set surface friction.

As for reflective surfaces, they're also not disabled, they just don't work What I mean by that is, if you create a reflective surface and look at it in rmode 1, you can see the reflected polys being rendered. But something about the way textures and/or occlusion are handled means they always get covered up.

1) I HAVE maps that have slippery ice for UT2003! If they did take away a Ued feature, that would create a version mismatch with UT2003 - it would break compatibility

2) The programmers wouldnt take away that feature from the editor! Like Doctor7 said, they moved it somewhere else

Make a volume and adjust the properties check out DM-Shuddercreek if u wanna slide over some Ice

Festive Ridge has two big frozen lakes you can skate across.

Yup, has to be done with volumes.

Before it was a surface property you could set but that's not available any more. I hope you guys realize that doing it in a different way is not the same as having the feature...you cannot set friction as a surface property which is what the guy asked in the first place.

Don't assume an effect corrolates to a feature of the engine; just because different frictions can be done doesn't mean the engine supports surface effects for altering physics

Some people....

It's sucky!

[legacy-Sleepless]

Probably

Even though it's not much more trouble to do it with physics volumes, it would still be nice just have a checkbox to do it with.

I like the new engine though; I dig the terrain system and the new methods used for occlusion, but the particle system could be better, and yeah, there are small nitpicks like the surface stuff.

Overall though I love the way the technology has advanced; it gets more versatile with every build.
