NyLeve's Legacy
"The escaped prisoners have emerged from the crashed Vortex Rikers fighting over the limited supplies salvaged from the crash. The thundering sound of the legendary Ny Leve's Falls dominates their ears as they battle amidst the alien landscape."
Nyleve's Legacy is the second map for my Legacy UT3 mod. The purpose of Legacy is to remake the maps from the original Unreal game but modernize them visually with my style! This map stays somewhat true to the original layout with a few changes to accomodate the Multiplayer gametypes! "The escaped prisoners have emerged from the crashed Vortex Rikers fighting over the limited supplies salvaged from the crash. The thundering sound of the legendary Ny Leve's Falls dominates their ears as they battle amidst the alien landscape."
CREDITS/Thanks:
I would like to thank all my fellow modders here at Unreal Old Friends and at Old Unreal for their help, inspiration and support throughout development of this map!
A special thanks goes to mAlkAv!An (UoF) for all his help with materials, models, especially the grass and that superb Nali Hut! Without your help this map would not have turned out the way it has! Cheers M8!
Full credits to Iman Shabani for the alt-fire coding on the Dispersion Pistol! He was able to do what I never could!
Also thankyou to Achernar (UoF), Winter Dragon (UoF), nELsOn (CBP3) and Nobiax (Deviant Art) for use of their assets! Winter Dragon has re-created some of the original game assets which used in this mod!
Big thanks to Yuri (FaithMax) for re-writing the original music with modern instruments!
Huge thanx to Juan Pancho Eekels for creating the original NyLeve's Falls level. I can still remember the first time I emerged from Vortex Rikers into this alien landscape many years ago being filled with wonder and awe!
Features/Notes (before you play!):
***MultiPlayer Version 1.1a changes:
This new version contains new music! Yuri (FaithMax at Unreal Old Friends) has re-written the original music with modern instruments to go nicely with the modernized visuals of this remake! Superb job on this Yuri!
MultiPlayer Version 1.1 changes:
This map no longer uses nELsOn's Fruit pickup which means there's no file conflict anymore! You can now have both his and my maps installed together!
The maps contain the Dispersion Pistol and AutoMag pickups! You do not need a mutator to enable them, they are included as part of the map! Read DP notes below please!!
Single Player Version:
Select Team Deathmatch and set player count to 1!
Contains all the original Universal translator messages.
All enemies are just pawns. There are more than in the original just to keep things interesting!
Use the E key to activate translator messages and switches!
There still are a few problems with the map but I feel it's ready for you guys to look at!
Dispersion Pistol notes:
There is a bug with the DP. If you are changing to the DP don't hold down Alt-Fire, otherwise you'll get stuck in a firing loop. Use another weapons alt-fire to stop the looping!
The animations aren't the best...blame my novice animating skillz for that!
The Multiplayer version of the DP uses ammo pickups and a different colour for the alt-fire projectile...the single player version version doesn't!
-=-=-=-=-
My version is roughly 40% bigger than the original map! They layout is somewhat true to the original. One area is missing as it is not required for Multiplayer!!
This map currently comes in DM/TDM and the 2 Domination Gametypes. Domination uses 5 Control Points!!
Original score Dusk Horizon for music! Map also contains custom sounds (from the original game), custom materials, meshes and emitters!
All land based medium health pickups are Nali fruit!
This map is large enough to easily accomodate 32 players! There are LOTS of pickups!!
This map requires a decent PC to sustain good framerates! There has been some optimization but it was intended for modern PC's!
NOTE: It may take a while to load when you first run it!!
There are probably bugs like floating grass etc...I've hopefully eliminated everything that could be gamebreaking!! I am only an amatuer mapper and also a just a puny mortal human!
The Multiplayer variants of this map were originally part of the last UOF MapPack! Hence the UOF4 designation on the map name!! These talented folk are still keeping UT3 alive!
There is still one working lift from the Single Player version functioning on the map! The 'E' key will activate it...if you feel the need to use it!
Last but not least...please pester Epic to make another Single Player Unreal game! Preferably taking us back to Na Pali!!
Feedback welcome!!
I recommend 32 player Team Deathmatch for some hectic fun!
Last but not least...sadly this is the last release from me for UT3. I'm moving onto greener UE4 pastures. I intend to continue Legacy in the new UT if Epic allow it!
