OS will never have those features.

Unless kornmann wins the lottery, a years supply of mountain dew and the halo 10 editing kit.

This guy is one of those trolls.

well seirra 1111111 use unreel?

4reals>?

I agree, Unreal is quite nice!!

I had no issue with my pc while I was creating the terrains.

Are you working on any maps for UT4? You posted some pics awhile back of a sci-fi environment and I remember thinking it looked very UT-esque.

I'm considering picking it up, I just downloaded the pre-alpha of UT4 and it's great.

I would love to see halo ce port to that engine but it will never happen because of Microsoft.

Well as long the graphics and gameplay stays the same. I think halo ce deserves a better engine and it should support modding tool.

I already spoke to Microsoft they made an agreement with me. Don't get me wrong this can happen but the question is, when is going to happen?

for one what would be the point of going to unreal engine if graphics stay the same that would be the only reason to go to another engine other than scripting.

and two no one is going to do that because it it just too much work and not worth the effort when we can do most of what we want in the current version of halo ce

i already explained this to you and so many others in xfire that it will not ever happen

illuminati has 3 sides. 4-3=1 illuminati has one eye. UE4 = illuminati confirmed

Been using it the last 3 months almost daily, but not for UT4 :)

While we haven't announced the project yet (but will within the next month or so), we moved all of our old project from Ficus (Lodex's old proprietary game engine) to UE4. More information about that will come when we are ready.

Always been a huge fan of Unreal and its no different now, still fantastic as ever, at least when source control isn't bugging out!! I might try some level design on UT in the future, but not anytime soon :)

Anyone want to play some UT4, add "LAT3KSI" :]

I'm downloading UT4 as we speak, also willing to play!
Feel free to add "Lodeman" :-)

why not use the CRYTEK engine version 3.6 features?

people do not understand this no matter how many times we tell them -_-

no one is going to recreate halo ce in another game engine. it it just too much work for not enough reasons. if you people who consistently ask for this stuff are doing it because the hek is "too Hard" try building a game from scratch. at least in the hek you already have everything pre coded and layed out for you. all you have to do is punch in a few numbers and poof. you changed something. meanwhile in a fully fledged game engine you will have to wad through many many lines of code (or a lot of kismet/flowgraph scripting nodes) in order to change a simple thing such as opening a door

i have however been playing around with unreal 4





^that skybox is 2048x2048 resolution on all six cubemap panels^

i really like how it works so far but i really don't have the time ATM to dedicate to learning a new game engine...

Opening a door in Blueprint is actually incredibly, ridiculously easy. Really, all you need is e.g. some event + a timeline.

sssh i know but your ruining my chance to stop all this port halo to cry engine/unreal spam

Ahah! Ficus revealed at long last!

Soon!!



Not all levels are going to be based off a heightmap at all, Unreal has BSP building blocks you can use to create indoor levels, even ones outside (eg hanging out over a cliff or something), and you can use static meshes generated from a height field in 3ds Max for background geometry such as mountains which is more efficient and you have more control over. Heightmaps are good for outdoor levels which involve terrain, yes, but not all levels are like this. It's largely dependent on what your making. Even caves are built using primarily static meshes.

...............Bated Breath..............

It would be fun if this forum had a dedicated section for Unreal Development...
Also @Dennis, where's the Minecraft section? :-)

Unreal perhaps. But then again dennis isn't affiliated withe them.....yet.

Yes, but would that take away from the fun of having a section?
Of course it wouldn't, but you could have answered that yourself ;-)

Just drop a ripped masterchief model in every screenshot and post it here.

Yeah, didn't Dennis planned to code a Minecraft hosting site at one point?

UE4 lightmaps are actually incredibly easy. You can simply grab the model, use 3DS Max's automatic unwrapping, and then paste that unwrap into the 2nd map channel and unreal will automatically read it as the lightmap. It takes all of 30 seconds to do as well.



You don't need to use cubemaps in UE4 since you can just use a reflection capture sphere for that. Along with that your materials seem pretty bland



But see, you would get no support if you did, if you atleast joined the unreal forums you could get help
