Hey everybody, I've been chipping away at the infinity remake for UT3, about to make a youtube video tomorrow too! And then I shall release the map on the UT3 forums, and here if anyone's interested and has UT3. Enjoy the screens as I've enjoyed working on it.

Who's dennis? lol

He is the site administrator who is over 9000 times mature than we are. By the way this is halo related isnt? It has master chief in it lols.

I don't see why it would be a problem.... I posted a thread like a month ago about it with like one or two teaser shots but I can't bump the thread since I replied in it last, so I figured I'd make a new thread with newer screens, since I have completed alot more since last time. And yes the map is from the first halo so it belongs here :P

Well seeing as lately you are trying to play moderator, I'm sure he's getting just a tinsy bit ticked off at you.

I would say the thread is fine, and coming here is always a nice place since we should know the map best and be able to point out tiny errors and the likes. Whether or not Dennis will allow it is, miraculously, up to him to decide and not you.

Edit: Like one thing I'm noticing, which I always hated in the original map, is the center of the level where there's those four bridges. I feel they're kind of narrow, and UT3 is a much faster-paced game than Halo 1 is, so I would recommend perhaps making them a bit wider to maybe even allow for a few fights up there without people falling off and to their deaths.

Yeah... well the bridges you can definetley use your hoverboard and go across in about 6 seconds, plus it is meant to be an alternate route versus taking the ground path to the flag, so it's riskier that way. It's either "hmm do I take the safe ground path with a vehicle or risk a more dangerous route?"

fix the smoothing on those structures.
and looks pretty good.

Firstly Zira Vadum, quote things correctly. Please. Secondly, his thread has something to do with Halo CE and I see no reason to lock this thread although I can't speak for Dennis.

I did import them into 3ds max and applied smoothing to them

ACK!

Excuse me, I haven't played UT3 (only time I actually played was at a friend's house one time, and then a free Steam weekend) so I completely forgot about the hoverboard. I would still think it would be nicer to have a wider bridge, but I see what you're getting at with it being a riskier path to take.

There's a button, next to when the user posted. If you put your cursor over it you will see "Quote post." Press that and you'll see.

And if you haven't noticed what 'quoting correctly' is already, it's these blue boxes that contain the message that people (such as you here in my post) have posted previously.

No, I am only in the preliminary phases of the mapping stage. I have completed the layout, laid out bot pathing, and gone over the map in single player mode to make sure there's no game breaking bugs. But I will ask some of my friends to beta test the map and ask for feedback gameplay wise. Then after I feel the beta stage is done I will release the final version after any bugs have been eliminated from the map. And FYI there are a bunch more maps out there in existance, and another by me, Timberland and Coagulation:

...I didn't know they could run people over either so I didn't think of that ._.

Oh yeah, it'll be at least a month before releasing the final version :)

The way the Halo ring is sort of, bigger than in the original game and map...well at first I was going to say to fix it a bit but now that I look more intently it seems kind of neat and fits the UT3 style of 'bigger and more badass' (or, that's Gears but still: same developer, same engine. You get what I mean, ha).

There is no UT4 in existance and probably never will be for quite a few years. UT3 is the latest game in the UT series. Don't let this thread die by tomorrow! I'll be posting a gameplay video. You can check out my other halo map videos here if you wish:

Warning loud music in the first video that plays!

Where's m00kz

Oh well yes I did release a UT2004 version and can be found here:

If only we could apply those graphics into CE QQ D:.

haha that would be something

@ zira

i have to agree your kinda of acting like a troll

also i dont see why dennis would lock this thread it has everything to do with halo

CE maps don't have a particular poly limit, with proper portals (or just a good computer) you can have some pretty high poly levels.

The main difference you see though is in the lighting and perhaps shaders, most noticeable the water kicking the ass of Halo 1's water (which is still pretty nice actually).

hey u mind if i use the udk to edit ur maps? add stuff to them and such? and reason he would lock is same as the crysis one, it may have to do wtih it but its still not acutally halo ce. mehz.
Edited by Geared on Jul 31, 2010 at 02:57 AM

The thing with the UDK is that it doesn't have all the assets that UT3 does, plus limited actors and vehicles. I mean sure you could port the terrain, and turn the meshes into BSP brushes and import them into the UDK and texture by hand but that's really tedious. Best would to buy UT3 and ask me permission for the uncooked (uncompressed) version of the map to fool with yourself for a non-release version to play by yourself.

i want to see icefiled ^_^

Make the halo reach forge world :P

lol scorp the bsp is easy its coagulation with bg bases xD and edit the blue base to be water behind it not a cliff

I think someone did an icefield for UT3 already, not sure though. But I did do Sidewinder for UT2004, can't remember what happened to it though.

I'd need tons of high res screenshots to properly do a map based on the halo reach world :P

just do the hemorige part blue base the cliffs behind it are taken down and a beach is there its coagulation ground and rock placement and bloodgulches bases :P

Are you going to make custom vehicles and weapons? I saw another website which boasted custom Halo maps in Unreal Tournament 3. They looked ruuuubbbiiish. Because the weapons didn't blend in with the map at all.

I absolutely love the look of your map so far, but please make sure you have appropriate weapons for the map.

I wish I could, but making custom vehicles and weapons isn't really my forte since I'm not that great of a modeler

But the current vehicles I have in there such as the viper (feels like of like the ghost) and the hellbender (feels like the warthog kind of) will have to do for now. Will demonstrate those vehicles in a video. Sadly there's nobody really willing to take on the tast of making the weapons / vehicles for a halo-ish UT3. Not that I know of anyways. But there's still master chief character which makes it that much closer to feeling like halo.

mookz made h2 weps for unreal idk what one.

also cant u extract the bitmaps for the warthog and ghost with firecythes bitmap extracter?

and import the warthog gbx model in a 3ds,gmax,maya? and put the skin on it and node it to the unreal node set

Well if it was that easy, someone would have done it by now

oicwutudidthar.

I'm so glad you asked, here's a short and noobish playthrough for 4 minutes

I'll probably release a beta within the next few days once I feel confident of doing so.
