We need thick-ass columns everyfuckinwhere, because... eh. uhm. BECAUSE OF ALL THE CABLING! Yes, that's why. The wi-fi experiment went belly up, on account of fetuses growing sixteen nipples and half-a-brain. So. Cabling. Yes.
Also, vis-blocking... Fileplanet has been kind enough to make a 10 minute UT2004 Gameplay Vid, which was previously only (officialy) available to subscribers, available to rest of us unsubscribed rabble. It is a tickle under 300mb.
So if UT2004/2003 floats your boat go at it. http://www.fileplanet.com/files/130000/130472.shtml I am currently in a 5 minute cue, and will probably only get transfer speeds of 50KB/sec :( Will it be worth it? ,I'll let you know. I sure hope the vehicles handle nice, but from what I seen in the vid, I have my doubts about some of them, but then......... they may be OK. Dogfighting looks like it would be much fun. All in all I think it 'could' be quite good. The vehicle part of the game would be nothing new to those of you who play/have played games before that include them, but for me, I haven't really been into any games that include vehicles (apart from out and out racers) I have tried the UT2003 mod "Conquest Marines" which at the time included a tank type thing and a hover bike type thing, the tank was a blast, the hover bike not so, because of the handling, and I got the same feeling from some of the vehicles in the vid, that their handling 'may' be offputting, for me at least. I think I'll definately get the game when released.
Was it worth the 300mb download, well, if you are a UT2003 fan, for sure, If you are like me and have a bit more than a passing interest in UT2003, and want to see a bit of what it will be like, I'd say yeah. Other than that, unless you got some of your download cap you want to use up, and want to watch it so as you can say "it's just UT2003 with vehicles, some extra weapons, and a couple of new game modes" (which we all already knew anyway) then NA Very nice screenshots.. I'm amazed. I can see myself playing too many games again only this time I don't have to worry about bad grades :P
sm51 will be Sunday, instead of the speedmapping norm Saturday. This is because neither I nor Starbuck will be around to run it. You may still make a map saturday in 100 mins, just email or otherwise get it to me by Sunday. Scampie@spawnpoint.org!
We'll get together at 4 pm EST, which is 8 GMT, 9 UK time... same time sm50 was. We figure the earlier time was just better for both the americans and the brits. The theme will be '-ish' maps, like Aardappel's famous maps. Rules aren't strict as to what an -ish map is, just as long as the layout is obviously stolen from some well known map. additions, subtracts, themes, textures, gametypes, etc etc etc may be as close or differant as the original map as the mapper wishes. Only other thing I ask is that nobody make an ish map of a map they themsealves originally made. woo woo http://www.fileplanet.com/files/130000/130840.shtml
For any who are interested. Requires divx. 16.6mb I just stumbled upon The Redeemer gun in Unreal Tournament 2003... fired, saw red, died. Then someone else fired it at me... woooow.
Do not EVER Google the word "tubgirl". EVER! If you ever do decide to go against this very sound advice (and I strongly encourage you to take this very seriously), keep a plastic bucket (to hold the vomit that you will spew) and some red hot pokers (to poke your eyes out immediatly afterwards) nearby.

/goes off wondering how many will heed my advice and if you like to drool over screens, check stalker
definately the most impressive technology and stunningly realistic looks Yes and of course Stalker is set on Mars and has plenty of hellish monsters and is bound to satisfy the people who are after something like that. Well done Speely once again missing the point. Yes Stalker looks cool, yes we all know about it already, no it's not something that's going to sate people who want the Doom3 style. Anyone noticed how there's absolutely NO evidence of the advanced AI they've blabbed about in various interviews in any of the billions of trailers showing off the same abandoned factory? This concerns me, since if there's one place a game like Stalker could really fuck up, it would be the AI.
(Note: Yes I know they've shown several locations, but some of them I feel I'm going to know the exact layout before the game is released) "(Note: Yes I know they've shown several locations, but some of them I feel I'm going to know the exact layout before the game is released)"
Yep, gotta love Valve for not spilling the beans on HL2, its annoying not being told much, but well well worth it in the end. Very good articles about making pretty picture, partly about 3d modelling, but some general things (composition, visual perception etc)
