This is Korts new map. I just got it on the server a moment ago and forced a map change to it. There were 4 players originally and about 8 by end of game. I asked them to rate it on a scale of 1 - 10 and the 2 answers that stuck out were: One person said "20" and another said "Funfacter 7.5"

I think it did great. I really enjoyed the boots. One set is speed that is almost fast enough to outrun a deemer! Another set called Heaven's Boots are super fun. They shoot you way up high so you can shoot down on the map that is a MAZE. You better shhot like hell after using these boots to jump because you will die when you land! LOL. I did not like the thunder boots and the other boots are regular jump boots I think. All of the boots are outside the maze in the c4 corners of the map.

Kort, I have a few suggestions towards the final release. We'll talk. Nice work.

Also i was wondering if anyone can see the fog in the lower level. I have enabled fog on my computer that i use to play UT on. I tried it on another instalation and i didnt see the fog. I'm thinking it's something clients have to enable to see.

Is there any place I can pick up a copy to check out offline? CG is always so busy 24/7 these days.

PM me with an email address and i'll send you a zip.
Bare in mind though it's a beta. I need ti fix some things i'm sure.

There is also not currently any botpathing in it. So i dont know if its fun playing by yourself.

*I intend to eventualy add bot paths.
I had some , and found out the map has to be alterd alot to be bot friendly.
So i will release another DM version with botpaths and weapons and health laying about.

Oh that's right.

Yes, I recall that you mentioned that now. I guess I'll just go on CG late at night and see if I can look around without getting fragged too much.

I did not see fog.

Damnit! This pisses me off. Though i kind of expected it.

To enable fog in your Install of UT you have to go into the advanced prefrences or something. I will try to figure out how and post the answer.

This sux though. The underground area looks 100% better with the thick fog I put in there. That angers me that you cant see it.

Don't get mad.

You know Kort, I have my setting for volumetric lighting set to off. Maybe that was why I couldn't see it. I turn off that and coronas in the advanced settings for my player install.

K · Post by K » Wed Feb 01, 2006 10:49 am

Yup thats is the setting.
Look here: http://www.planetunreal.com/inoxx/tweak/uttg3.htm

To enable fog in UT :
Access the Unreal Tournament advanced properties by typing "preferences" in the Console.

Then go to 3DFX Glide support >Volumetric Lighting >"True"

I enabled it a while back when trying to tweak my UT . It makes a huge difference! So do other options in the advanced prefrences. Read that guide. Its verry helpfull.

Yes it is helpful. I turn mine off on purpose. I get a better frame rate and people and monsters can't hide from me by standing near lights. DM-Gothic comes to mind. Play it with the coronas on and then again off. You'll leave it off for now on. Later!
