Isn't this like beta 26?

I'll give it a go!

[Kazimira]

Wow... I love the colors!

[TheVoid34]

Isn't this like beta 26?

Yeah, but the first *public* beta. Which is why I called it B1 instead of Beta 1, even though everyone's going to assume it means Beta 1 to them anyways. It's called creative branding. Or imagineering. Or something.

Wow... I love the colors!

I'd like to thank bclagge one more time for that. If you like the way it looks in the screenshots, wait till you play it. There are some really cool things he pulled off with the night sky theme.

This just goes to show UE3 is just as capable of color as any other UT game.

The teleporters on the cranes both took you to the same place (ie were all jacked up). Fixed that too! And fixed the glitch where you can't hoverboard jump on the crane.

Oh it's no problem buddy! I'm glad to help. UTF and BGE bringing the color back to UT, one map at a time.

Absoluetly right! I didn't do anything magic with it. I just used colored lights. Epic designed their maps to be dirty, grungy and washed out. Many if not most Epic materials have desaturation nodes. Throw in some monotone lighting and some colorless fog to make everything more bland and you've got a boring look. They do good contrast at least.

Voidski - Don't forget to add Remus to your credits. That's his planet we used for the sky. http://forums.epicgames.com/showthread.php?t=652930

[TheVoid34]

Oh, right! Thanks buddy.

I do have one sudgestion though theres lots of large sections of colord purple and colord green lights same with the lava... Perhaps altering the color of every indavidual light just slightly might help like a slight range of brightness and hue and other things to get each one a very slightly diffrent color but not any more dull infact some lights a bit brightr some a bit duller color wise anyway. If your wondering what sort of effect I mean look at the first Soulreaver game at the begining the first bit in the spectural realm.

ever made by you and the map plays good

Well, the purple light is a single sky light, and the cyan light is a single directional light. So I can't add any variation to them. The lava, imo, should give off a very consistent and even glow, considering the nature of the light source.

Shame you cant have the old discolights system with yellow orange and red going off at once.

Sweetness! Are the crazy asteroid showers of awesomeness being implemented, or are they a no-go?

And nice job Void/So's/Cherries.
You guys am da rulz.

[TheVoid34]

The shooting stars are there. They're not "crazy", but they are awesome. It's a subtle effect, but I'm really happy with how it turned out.
