I couldn't run it on my new dual-core (is it possible to get negative-value FPS?) just kidding. I played it on a friend's AWare once and, that's right, it sucks.Lee_Stricklin wrote:The real reason that nobody plays UT3 is that it sucks.
I have a friend named Nick who goes by the author name of Nick_C. He's the author of the CTF-Warfare. I don't know if you or Sgt. Todd have ever played it or seen it before. But, anyways, I got him a copy of UT3 & him and I would get together on my LAN server and play. He liked it for a while, but the bugs & nuances of UT3 came to a head & took their toll and one day, he made a request to me. It was "Can we play original UT because I really don't enjoy UT3 as much as the original game". Isn't that a surprise? Actually, not at all. I knew it was coming. UT3 netcoding is by far the worst of the UT series & people complain about dud projectiles all the time on the official Epic forums. Nick got fed up with it.Lee_Stricklin wrote: The real reason that nobody plays UT3 is that it sucks.
You've mentioned that more than once & I'm glad that you have, because it got me to look a little closer at the character animations of all the UT series games. Original UT character animations just flat out stomp all over any of the others in the UT series. It's not even remotely close.Sergeant Todd wrote: I love the UT99 animations. With UT2K3 and the ragdoll physics came 'blah'....Nothing quite like seeing Dr. Freakenstein get fragged(lol), or watching Loque spasming wildly, as you hit him with the alt plasma gun beam....
Is that the Nick C who had a site on Planet Unreal? I bought his tutorial CDs, they were great. Say hi to him for me.brdempsey69 wrote: I have a friend named Nick who goes by the author name of Nick_C. He's the author of the CTF-Warfare.
Yes, that's him. The site he had is no longer up. However, he's back to mapping for UT and joins me on my UT server every week. I had also purchased his tutorials CD's back in 2001 and established a rapport with him. Now we chat via TeamSpeak. He's really likes UT CTF & after all these years has come to the realization that the original UT is always going to be the best of the series. Once I got him to come & play he's gotten to see other aspects besides mapping, such as the game play itself, server administration, redirecting custom content, creating custom packages, etc.smeerkat wrote:Is that the Nick C who had a site on Planet Unreal?

Over my dead body.. no no j/k. Never heared from him. Some pics to see or so?smeerkat wrote:Hopefully he'll submit his map to the next map pack.
, its just poor programming I guess, they also shoot down my redeemer EVERY time, which kinda makes that weapon useless, where as in the original UT I can at least create some havoc with the good ole redeemer (which of course I do every chance I get). 
oh, yeah, retexturing a mesh-UT99: Change Multiskins. TESIII CS: Export the mesh, open it in one of the unfindable programs that actually deals with .NIF models, change the texture, place the RAW UNCOMPRESSED mesh in a folder, access it via the CS, done. World Design: UT99: BSP, easy to build TESIII CS: no shit, the ENTIRE DAMN THING is made of lots of meshes. So to create an area, you need to either create ENTIRE NEW MESHES with an External program, or play Mix 'N' match with the stock stuff. All in ONE 3D Viewport (No top down or w/e) Makes you realise how damn easy it is to map for UT (Although making new weapons in TESIII is a lot easier-they are all medieval, so it's fairly simple)

[/url]Ive made many maps for UT99 & now one map for UT3, I find it much easier mapping for UT99, leaving me focussed on the actual level rather than fighting it out with the editorzacman wrote:The Engine. I was doing some work with the TESIII engine the other day, and I realised, for all it's crashes and other crap, Ued 2.0 is pretty freaking great. TESIII has advanced graphics, wireframe skeltal physics, heaps of stuff, but so many things are there that an OLDER game, UT99, does better, e.g: Movers: UT99-Just use Mover class TESIII CS-create a static object, attatch a script to it, create an activator with another script that links to the first script, place the activator in the world and the mover... Congratu-freaking-lations, you just made a door that goes Up instead of the prefab swining open.
Another thing: In UT99, the Entire Engine is at your fingertips. You can do whatever you want, but risk breaking the game. In TESIII, about a Tenth of the engine is available to you, and you can't break the game, but engine modifications are like trying to cut Titanium with a plastic knife.
, a simple mover was overly complex & doesnt need to be, where as for UT99 making a mover is a doddle, a few clicks & its working, I used to use movers in my maps to create explodable parts, like a bridge for example that when shot would explode, or a wall etc, I wouldnt attempt such a task in UT3, I wouldnt know where to begin, but in UT99 its not too hard.
it was fun to play just not as intense gameplay as UT99 as was already said on here.
