I was unable to play Unreal Tournament.

ok seriously, THIS HAS NOTHING TO DO with a discussion about the coming 25th Anniversary of UT.
Stay on Topic please and stop derailing threads.

Well, strictly speaking of UT99:

- Modernizing maps. (But not the usual ones, pick more risky options such as DM-Peak or CTF-Cybrosis][).
- Modernizing beta content (we could do well with a modernized Beta Liandri).

If only I could get some of my motivation back.

EDIT: Oops... I got ninja'd by papercoffee.

But I like that we have the same idea

And with new textures.

I am a texture freak, having collected quality seamless textures from various sources over the past few years, somewhere in the order of 13gb. I'm happy to share, or help create/customize textures if needed.

I mean we could make a revamp mappack... with lesser known/remaked maps (that means no Face and Deck or Morbias).
But we should then assign one map to one mapper to avoid to end up with 5 versions of Morpheus.

I made a spreadsheet which lists (for now) all official maps. If people think it would useful, maybe someone can put it on Google Docs?

I have to say that I am extremely gratified that folks are showing such interest in this.

EDIT: I forgot that I also have 50-ish decent music tracks from Mod Archive to add another layer of freshness to maps. Let me tell you, finding usable tracks there is like finding a needle in a haystack.

The one thing that I don't have, sadly, is any decent fragging skills. I used to be good at this game. 20 years ago

Maybe i could take a peek at DM Malevolence..

I thought I wrote that I would take Curse and change it a little bit into an industrial design.
Somehow I must have forgotten to hit the post button strange

Bishop Jazz JackRabbit style? Anyone? No?

Jazz JackRabbit style?

for the love of all that's holy, do not mention that game

I thought I wrote that I would take Curse and change it a little bit into an industrial design.

I need to figure out where/how to host textures, so people can peruse my collection for their mapping needs. Probably have 750-1000 textures that would fall under the category 'industrial.'

I'll probably turn the spreadsheet into a Google sheet so there's a centralized place people can view & edit it

A less sucky version of CTF-Darji16, lol!

That map is a nightmare. I don't know if it can be redeemed!

I have turned the excel into a Google sheet. PM me if you want to participate and have access to the spreadsheet

I'm happy to tackle both Stalwart maps and Guardia.

Yeah it reminds me of JBasement.unr map.

[OjitroC]

Yeah it reminds me of JBasement.unr map.

It's DM-Bishop (a default UT map) retextured with some textures from the JazzyTextures packs.

I still cannot figure out how to swap or add new character skins from Jazz Jackrabbit 3D into original Unreal Tournament. Anyway I did the same in Unreal Tournament 4.

When I first saw the title of this topic I thought "damn, is the game already 25 years old?", but then I made the math and started to wonder why we're talking about this 2+ years prior, seems a bit premature.

Don't get me wrong, I understand why you may want to anticipate this and start working on something, but then again, 2 years is actually a long long time, and maybe I am being a pessimist, but I am quite sure that most people may only do something about it maybe 6 months to a year before the actual anniversary, whereas most projects being suggested here are likely to never see the light of day.

To put in perspective, there's enough time for 2 new patches to be released in the meanwhile with new features, namely a v469d and v469e, maybe even a v470.
That's also close to the time interval from when COVID first started until now.

So while it's great to see this being discussed and people volunteering, it seems a bit premature, and I don't see many people being able to stick with the plan for that long.
But hey, it's in situations like these I like being proven wrong, so who knows...

Too late, check above.
The guy couldn't resist the calling, and the first post was OK, but the second of course veered completely into off-topic again.

It's like saying "Voldemort", he hears it and knows where you are.
