Hehe! I really would have never guessed that.

Looking very good though, going to try it out soon!

Awesome. Thought would be fine if you could do the same as Stealth Bender with the basic UT2k4 Hellbender mesh (without spawning the WeaponPawn turret in the back seat). Of course has the Stealth Bender different pickups: Link Station and X-Ray field (you can simply make it a deadly field that only damages infantry but also when they are in vehicles, while leaving the vehicle intact)

Still have the code of my attempt on the deployables (as Pickups) here, but had to let them slide. Will you make the deployables available as pickups too? Shaped Charge ftw!

Good one m8. I thought it was a monster (lol); downloading.

The stealth bender is planned

But I planned to make it using the mesh from UT3, wouldn't it be better with the original mesh?
Also planned on doing the deployables has pickups, the only problem I came across is what weapon should they replace? Super weapons? Would be bad to replace the super weapons.

The X-Ray wouldn't be hard, the problem is I can't seem to spawn volumes properly... that's why the stasis field isn't in this beta.
When I spawn my physics volume it only affects the center of the deployable mesh (where it is spawned), like if it had a really small size even tough I've set it's size properly :/

wow 28.7mb thats like a map what you put in it
nice work man

also sometimes i can move in the deployed mode

but, as always, great job, im waiting for next betas

I'ved tested it for several hours and the spiders didn't crash the game o0

You should be able to move because when you're deployed it has no physics,... so kinda weird too lol

There are more less 6 SkeletalMeshes, tons of sounds and textures.
The .u and .ucl files together are only 2.47Mb in size, then the animations file is 4.29Mb, the textures packages is the biggest one 94.6Mb and the static meshes are 3.66Mb. Then the source + .wav files are ~4.99Mb.

The zip file is actually small compared to the textures package alone xD

**Sly.** · 03-07-2012, 05:48 PM

the textures packages is the biggest one 94.6Mb

Did you compress the textures to DXT format?
DXT5 or DXT3 should be fine I think, you should talk with Great Emerald about that though as I'm very sure you do this for his UT3 Style mutators like the Viper.

**UnShame** · 03-07-2012, 06:30 PM

well, as i said, it was just a coincidence
but the log have many lines similar to this one

Code:

Error: UT3Nightshade VCTF-magisFunmap-v1.UT3Nightshade (Function UT3NightshadeBeta1.UT3Nightshade.bHasAmmo:001D) Accessed array 'Mines' out of bounds (0/0)

another thing is that this bases don't stick to the ground

and what the hell? xD

**100GPing100** · 03-07-2012, 07:11 PM

Yes, I know they don't stick to the ground, I think I have the fix for it, but didn't try it yet.

About the last screenshot, ye...pretty weird bug, I don't know what causes it :/

The lines on the log I can fix, seems I need to check the log when testing to check for thoose things xD

**UnShame** · 03-07-2012, 08:39 PM

I don't know what causes it

well you can do it easily by driving backward off cliffs with ~90° =)

and it takes a long time to get back to the normal position

i can drive it in this position all the time using walls

or even do a barrel roll xD

probably it needs some limitation on the angle of rotation in the z(and y mb)-axis
or maybe change this manta-style type of movement to the goliath's one

Does it really need to be done with Volumes?
Can't you simply add an Actor with a mesh that has the shape of the field, make it colliding but not blocking and then use it's Touch() and UnTouch() to interact with whatever enters or leaves it's collision hull?

And for the pickups of the deployables: Do you mean which inventory slot it should occupy or really a replacement Mutator? Why don't people simply accept that level designers would be happy to just have the ability to place those items on their own and don't even want any mutator to replace superweapons.

But maybe you can make a Mutator that simply adds them to any WildcardBase when there is one in the map.

Best and only option I would like to see, other than that deployables as items for mappers would be just fine.

I can imagine that it would be hard to make the spider mines grab one's head and still show it from first person. You know, in UT3 some explode and others jump onto your head and drill a hole into it and you see it from first person which is just awesome (especially the sound - that one when a spider grabs a robot head is the best, metal on metal scratching sound, EFF, YEAH!

).
