ACE wouldn't be a problem. While it's true it would kick everyone due to a mod like this, its package can be added to UPackages iirc, so ACE would instead validate the package itself and allow all the client functions to be called.
Its a detail that really helps to give a feel of imersion. Some post Unreal games and graphic engines of roughly the same era 1999´s and 2000´s already used that idea. Half life used it and was released in the same year (I believe it was a month or 2 sooner actually)
But as far as it goes, i think its an overall engine fault and making it work on client-side or multiplayer isn´t that much of a vilable option. Unless we are talking about a costum game type that involves everyone that uses it to share the same package files.

Dude, it's obvious you worked quite hard on this, don't sell yourself short. I've played easily a thousand maps over the years and you can hold your head high when your map is called up to be presented for judging. I'm quite impressed.
Thanks man it really helps hearing words like that :D
But i must say i´m not seling myself short. For some time now i´ve been studying and watching Single Player Level Design formats, preparing to start practising it (already started). But i really feel that i wasn´t prepared for this, Multiplayer format works only similar to SP´s arena fights but the diference is that is a constant loop of movements and dances based on dynamic objectives that change, and i simply have no idea what i´m doing in that wise :loool:
So yeah i might score in terms or Arquitecture and Originality but I dont think these alone will make it a good map :lol2:

Epic actually intended to implement step sounds, proven by the fact that textures have those properties in them, and they're simply not working.
So a mod like this would be actually rather easy to do, and it would work very well as long decals are enabled.

It would of course need custom textures to be created, either this meant to simply copy over the textures from default packages or creating entirely new ones.
But even if those properties did not exist, it would still be possible to create step sounds, even with existing textures. I remember to see a mod which did exactly this at one point, although the author never made it to work online, although it was possible to do so.

Don't worry about it, you aren't alone. Our map is DM but clearly is easily enjoyed as a single player-type experience.
So long, and thanks for all the fish

The screenshot is not working at the moment (will be fixed in the final file).

I really need help because i think i noticed that the light acts very very diferent depending on the 3D driver used, I use Dx9 and it looks exactly like the Editor´s softwear rendering. But when i was testing for files needed on a Vanila UT I have instaled, it looked like the color and the brightness was all gone, Will this happen to everyone else? :noidea

Solid map, I enjoyed it.
· The music "Void" doesn't seem much different than another staple UT-music.
· Redeemer spot, seems no way to get there without dying. It's in The Void.
· Selection pic doesn't work. Really needs to be named "Screenshot" or nothing shows up.
· Flying into The Void in spectator mode will mess you up! Not a complaint, but it's an interesting aspect.

Yes, nice map - lighting looks fine to me. Usual problem of the arrow packs falling out of the world though.

Looks like that is deliberate, it's a Vacuum Zone - notice it's The Void not the void - nice idea as the map takes its name from The Void. Once you know about it, it will only 'trap' the bots in future.

Thanks :D and I´m glad it was actually playable, let alone enjoyable :ironic:
Also the screenshot helped me with the doubts I was having about the lighting.

1- Well i probably should have put more enphasys that it was just a simple mixed version of Colossus
2- Fixed. There was a way, you had to jump as I put a pushing effect in the void area, too be honest I wasn´t sure about that to begin with and there were no visual cues that there was a pushing.
3-Fixed
4- It wasn´t intended but i left it as it was because i thought it was kinda cool

Thanks, glad you liked it :D
also thanks for the lighting feed back :highfive:
Just to be sure, you are refering to the Arrow packs from the Chaos mod right? :|

Well it kinda was, and wasn´t... :roll: This area was a major pain in the ass because i was so focused on the design that i left the gameplay compeletely aside , :idea2: so I have this great looking cenario towards space but was actually thinking about putting barriers to stop anyone from going there :idea2: , but when the time came I decided i was going to make it a vacum zone instead to serve as a trap like you said :idea: .
The idea was that the void would actually push you back if you jumped (thus the only way to get the Redeemer) but it just didn´t make any sense. :???:

Yes, that's right (see the ChaosUT Issues thread for a discussion of the problems with some of the Chaos ammo).

The Void vacuum zone is cool alright, totally fits in with the theme of the map.

Another Void.umx already exists, so to pretend server mismatches it would be a good thing to rename the file.

Any coders out there? :help:

Not sure what handle-pass is and how its related to the sound, but tell you what could you specify me what are you video and audio drivers?
(Not right now but I will post 2 versions for you to test out... one with all sounds removed and the other with the music removed)

Could be that the format is off a bit. I'll tinker around and see what I can do.

Edit: Looks to be the music is causing the crash. I removed it from the level and all is hunky-dory.

In vote topic I mentioned I re-touched your stuff

Here s a video and a link with some results.

- I removed all lanterns - just kept the Torches
- Readjusted the torched all at once,
- removed all lights, and placed just a few
- Adjusted , unlit, bright corners, and high shadow details for a lot of textures
- Replaced your ugly stone wall with a VERY similar texture from SKYCITY.UTX
- Slightly broke my promise -- I added a little gap in the floor, but makes it SO much spectular - - the gameplay and sticker is getting enhanced as well
- Repeated the big halls ceiling onto the sideways - they need a little realignment, but just look at the difference!
- Lights are much more realistic and WAY MORE DYNAMIC

- I do not discredit your efforts and hardwork, just givinf a few tips . Compare the results for yourself!

- Added more dramatic yet BEAUTIFULL MUSIC( in the video):
- - some parts ares still pitch black - like the dudes and other areas ---- BUT IT IS A SMALL - QUICK - Retouch.

If the video is not visible yet, it is still processed by Youtube!
