hi volks,

i just finished my first map for UT2003,
and guess...its a db warfare map.
One of the greatest mods ever!!!!

Map Info:
------------
In a valley filled with deadly water lies a steel/stone pond,
where players fight against each other.

Map Size:
------------
About 5 Meg.

Download:
-------------
Version 3 Final: http://www.pcgamemods.com/3170/

till now none, i dont want to make my development-server
public.

so if any one has a server where i cant put it on or tell me
where to put it, i would be grateful.

I would suggest pcgamemods. Call it DB-Warfare-Mapname and put it in the deathball section or the beta section if it's still a beta.

okay, i uploaded it there.

what a crap with the screenshot making on this website.

This map has potential but it runs far too slowly. My guess is that it is mostly because of the terrain you have in the distance, but I could be wrong. I'd personally suggest that you take a serious look at what kills the framerate on this map.

Gameplay-wise I think it could be fun, though the little boxes may annoy people who like using grenades. I can't be sure of this until I can test it on-line.

hi,

it might be the terrain, a solution would be to
remove it from the map and cover the pond in a fog cloud.

would be nice too, what do you think?

Nolan

I think fog could work very nicely. Make sure you keep backups though, just in case it isn't the terrain.

i switched on the fps while playing....17-20 fps
in the projektor zones.

this map does not contain antiportal actors,
maybe thats the prob.

but i dont know where to place them, the map is too open.
maybe under the terrain.

another solution would be to remove the four projektors
on that map (2 RED/2 BLUE).

by the way, did you allready play it online?

and do you know how to import staticmeshes done with
maya in ut2003?
i tried it with actorx, but it wont work well.
how must the polygon-objekts be arrangend and named
so that it works.

thx

Mastering Unreal, aaah what a wonderful site to find everything you need to know.

You'll find all the information you need in there. I very much doubt having anti-portals inside the terrain will do much, unless there is quite a bit of terrain behind that which is visible.

Thanx 4 the links.

I´ve uploaded a new version to pcgamemods.
More FPS-friendly.

I removed the Terrain completely, now there is just
water and water...and fog!!

I think it looks nicer now!

PS: Added a Sound-loop for the Bath tub-guy

I like how much better it is running now, visually the map looks decent. As for gameplay, I'll have to wait til I can play it on-line before I pass any judgement.

we played it yesterday on coffins private server.
gamplay was very well, but i need do change some things

• Starting Pos. (Too Many and Some are to close to eachother)
• The Pillars in the middle (Bigger and higher)
• On the plateau where the super fontains are (heighten one of the two front crates)
• The second Superfontain in the pit (more forward to the net)

Nolan

if anybody already played this map,
please make some comments, suggestions and bug reports
to this thread.

by the way, whats wrong with pcgamemods?

Nolan

What do you mean, "What's wrong with PCGameMods?"
It's working fine for me.

they had server probs, like deathball.net.
but now its fixed.

new version out, did you noticed?
