w00ting once more

[a9902957@nepwk.com]

You just made the UT community that much more amazing yourself.
Regarding the holes in the Tetris map: Those ledge areas down there look nice to hide with the enemy flag while waiting for one's own to return.
With jump boots added at the right spots or translocaters in game this could work. (Lower grav and risky impact hammer jumping maybe as well, but yeah also not too huge a fan
of complete lowgrav maps myself).

That Tetris map looks like it would also play nicely with the Bounce! version of CTF.

Finally, for no good reason other than to hold myself to account and finish something - I did a quick playthrough of the wip stuff.

I make comments for your YT video. however YT swallow comments and even not show some of them to me.
Possible you can find it on moderation/on hold tab in YT studio.

There I goes duplicate this few notes:
1. I notice you use software render in editor for first part, but look like you switch after. Software not great for mapping. Better use ICBIND or DX11.
2. For pathing for bots - you can turn on network grid by press "N" or via viewport toolbar context menu.
3. Also good idea use MindReader: https://ut99.org/viewtopic.php?p=150824#p150824
4. And MapChecker: https://ut99.org/viewtopic.php?t=14809
5. You can make custom actors which allow bots dodge on ramps. Or use kickers only for bots. Or even make something like hidden jumppads, again only for bots.
6. You can join test group for use 469f (which in development now). With exchange provide feedbasck and test our test builds. You cna guide here: https://ut99.org/viewtopic.php?p=148685#p148685
And some new features of 469f you can find on topic: https://ut99.org/viewtopic.php?t=16800 and YT channel: https://www.youtube.com/@UT1999-new-patch-info

Very neat maps! I had never experienced "w00ting" before. Seems like it would make for some exciting fast-paced maps. "Now how to incorporate this style into my slow boring maps?" lol. Great job. Thanks for releasing these.

Darjw00t doesn't have a laser fence, 0/10
Gonna take a deeper dive when I can, currently all maps run well and play nice! Also left a comment in the vid. (to be fair a w00t map filled with lazers would be pretty cool CTF-ImmaFirinMyW00ter?)

[JohnnySix]

@UnrealGGecko - I like that Idea - I was worried how it'd play online with lag - but it could work

"Software not great for mapping. Better use ICBIND or DX11"

Wish it was that easy, but I would need to keep my reference

Could be for a good SP map as well. But the reason they play well is because of the mapper who made them.

Found an old map that a friend has send me in 2006 and used it as a base for another map to go in the pack.

Download of 'beta' version here http://extremew00t.com/dl/deadmeatmapv01.zip



If anyone else has some maps on the go , lemme know

[UnrealGGecko]

Feels quite different to many of the other w00t maps with this layout, yet still just as fun. Loved seeing the progress of that map great vids.

Left a reply in the previous video. cant promise but I'll give that cyber map 1 last go this week. I got the bases, skybox and theming in my head but just can't figure out what I want in the middle without it turning into w00tabulous #623432 Unless I could do the thing where both flags are only seperated by a small wall or something lol.

Hi johnny! Im wondering if you were smokin' weed in the glory old days of ut. If yes, im nothing surprised you got here very good and funny maps with the woot style! XD

[JohnnySix]

@darksonny haha, my brain was addled enough without the devils lettuce

@UnrealGGecko - Looking forward to it, @Hostile and @KillRoy1972 are working on a map too I think.

Some updates, as I forget to post-
Not sure if any different from video - the deadmeat map.


I got distracted and made another lava-castle map.


some style fixes to the w00tious SE


Redid some style stuff and minor tweaks to the 'darj' map using SG-Tech, gonna rename to w00tGeeTech or something.

[UnrealGGecko]

@JohnnySix Got a deadline for this? I don't wanna drag the pack out, progress has been minimal sadly but I should be able to finish it till mid August (or at the very least send something playable lol).

Lovely progress on your end that lava castle one looks great!

[JohnnySix]

@UnrealGGecko

I'd originally intended for it to be Winter of 2009, so it's already a few years overdue haha. Maybe September time I reckon, I'd like to probably do a couple more new ones for the pack.

[JohnnySix]

Special thanks to @GingerCat & @Swanky for the advice on fixing up the 1st lava map - skipping out some of the ludicrously high-poly w00t pads etc.

Re-textured SgTech Map thing

[JohnnySix]

Thanks to @Hostile - was getting lost messing with caves and UV maps, but now pivoted to one final map , with uh, facing robots. It's a bit like a lost Domokun map I made ages ago.

So as not to double-post, did some new textures based on UTtech1 metal, and a barber-shop pole for the 'antenna'.

Has anyone made triggerlights work? I tried following the old Lode tutorial but no luck. I wanted to have a sound / light effect trigger when the player shoots out of the robot's eyes.

[JohnnySix]

Has anyone made skybox renders in blender at all? I am using Equiangular cubemap but the edges are looking a bit off.
