Re: DM-AMC-2041 (What 2040 was meant to be!)

This map was never released when contest had happened? if yes another nice map to add my collection thanks! Yes, it wasn't released as a contest map - this 'new' map is a fixed and improved version of the released contest map (with a new name to indicate that it is different). But...the old ones wa...

DM-AMC-2041 (What 2040 was meant to be!)

Backstory Back in the Awesome Mapping Contest a couple years ago, a goof-up happened. There was time between judging the winners and releasing the map pack, when everyone could polish up their maps for final release. I fixed up my map (DM-AMC-2040), sent it in, and stopped thinking about UT since I...

Re: Vote for the '21 mapping contest theme/restriction!

No rules sounds the best out of those. The second choice for me is dragons, but color theme is a very close third. Destructible stuff sounds cool, but I think that might sound complicated to some, and be a bit of a barrier to entry. First prize winner will receive Porch Viking's Xan Kriegor cosplay ...

Re: Xan Kriegor cosplay!

Thanks for the compliments, everyone! I got discouraged a few times during the making of this cosplay, so I'm glad to see how everyone likes it. That's 100% the absolute coolest thing ever posted on UT99.org. My only question is: it it bendable enough to make PELVIC THRUSTS? Absolutely! Mobility was...

Re: MH-AMC-2040

Just popping in to say, in making the original DM version of this map, that platform was constantly giving me trouble. I have it fixed on my most recent version, but I'm having a hard time finding where I actually posted that. I thought for sure it was in the final map pack. I might have forgotten t...

Xan Kriegor cosplay!

I said I'd do it, and it's been in the works for ages, but here it is! I've finally finished my UT99 Xan cosplay. I brought it to PA Steamfest today for some pics, since rusty industrial settings are just too "UT" to pass up. (One of the foot parts came off at the end of the day, but that'...

Re: HEY, I know "no politics", but.

The cheating and censorship going on these days is horrifying to me, and I do think we're going to see actual armed conflict if things continue. However, a rambling topic in a place where politics is specifically unwelcome isn't going to help. Let non-political places stay non-political. There are p...

Re: The most RiDiCuLoUs Mapping Contest!

Is there a 1 map per author limit on this? I had a few other tiny map ideas bouncing around in my head when I made the fishbowl one.

Re: ==[ The 20th Anniversary Mapping Contest - 20AC ]==

Hopefully this is within the deadline! Here's my "final map pack improvements" version of CTF-20AC-Valhalla. Just added some extra trims, supports, and improved the skybox a bit.

Re: [WIP] CTF-20AC-Valhalla

Just played on it for a little bit, and it's a great map. I like the architecture; it's very well-done. It plays well with bots too. My favorite part is the rainbow bridge to each team base. It kinda reminds me of Bifröst, the rainbow bridge between Asgard and Midgard in Norse mythology. Maybe that...

Re: ==[ The 20th Anniversary Mapping Contest - 20AC ]==

I didn't have time to mess with the AI pathing further, but I'm fine with how they play now. Since I'll be out doing things tomorrow, I did some final tweaks and wrapped up my entry here: viewtopic.php?f=5&t=13638#p116436

Re: [WIP] CTF-20AC-Valhalla

I wound up not having too much time to work on this, so I just did a few minor tweaks. More polishing could always be done, but I'm satisfied with how it's turned out. Here's my final version for the contest.

Re: ==[ The 20th Anniversary Mapping Contest - 20AC ]==

Does anyone have any additional feedback on my map? Has UT_Invisibility ever been taken by Bots ? I see mainly One-Way paths over there. On that ramp I think they are too high... If you are changing ExtraCost I believe it might be two cases: path unused or path used, you won't gain both cases. Alte...
