fair enough, personally Ifound it too messy.

BTW, anyone played jedi academy? any thoughts? 

I've only played it on pc when there wasn't a pc version and didn't find it that hard but then again I just played random maps with access to l33t weapons and armour omg I r4wk! 

I went into the console in UT2k3 and shrunk my player with changesize 0.5

Fun. 

You been playing much custom maps for UT2003?

He's something that you might like to see, it's got some different stuff going on, in the effects department. Gameplay is no slouch either. It's around 11mb, theres 2 different versions of the same map. It's a good experience to play the "Storm' version first, and then the "misty" version straight after it, and see the difference in atmosphere. (well I think so anyways)

If you want any good UT2003 maps with great gameplay, let me know and I'll line you up with a couple. 

I'd maybe be interested except I was referring to the demo, which is all I have, I *might* pickup a copy, not sure... I just have it installed on the Powerbook for somethin' on the side when I'm not working on music. It's fun though.. I like bombing run. 

No probs 

Phait, just buy ut2k4 when it comes out, it has all the 2k3 content in it anyway... :) 

a texture pack that could be qualified as "giger-esq" for any game? 

chaosdungeons
chaosdungeons2

Which are heavily giger-influenced/textured from what remember.

LvL should have them, or else google.

Mindfields is the map you want.

It appears to be a final release (out of beta), but it doesn't show up through the Download Selector yet. But according to posts at the Mapcenter forum by TTimo, it is indeed out of the 'beta' tag stage. It includes support for Quake II, among other things.

Hope they get the Quake support in soon, guess it doesn't really matter though, quake mapping via the current map converter way works fine, but still would be nice. 

Yes if you were thinking of getting UT2003 retail, waiting a little bit for UT2004 would be a good idea. They have just updated the 'system requirements' for UT2004, they say you will need a little more grunt, which I guess was a no-brainer any how. 

Plutonic has just released his latest map for UT2003, DM-1on1-Rivalry. It is an outdoor map set in a "water worn gorge". It's a nice looking map and plays fairly well to boot.

Tree leaves are too saturated.. looks nice though. 

After playing through DM-1on1-Rivalry some more, I must say the gameplay, isn't all that hot. 

Freeware program to convert .avi files to .mpeg or .mov files, please. Suitable for idiots preferably =).

smab, ever heard about google? 

My mp3s are getting messed up!
Really annoying, could be a virus i guess.... tracks get their 'artist' tag changed to something else in the library....

This means over time, more and more songs are listed under the wrong artist, sweet!

Has anyone had this problem or know what to do about it? ta 

Re: google.. sometimes people do search there, but can't find something specific enough because the internet is vast, and they ask people :P 

I just wanted to prick shambler a bit ;) 

Hey,

I made a couple posts at Musashi's and Gamedesign.net (the only two places I know of where Q2 mappers still reside) about running a Q2 Speedmapping session. Anywya, I thought I'd post here just in case there was anyone left on this board that still mapped for Q2. If you're interested in doing a Q2 Speedmapping session, let me know. IF there is sufficient interest I'm going to go about organizing a time and stuff. It could be fun. No really. Q2 aint that bad. No it's not. Aww c'mon.

Anyone interested? 

Doubt you'll find many interested mappers, but consider yourself to have the blessings and hopes and dreams of the Q1 Speedmappers to do the event. 

I know of 5 interested parties including myself... 

I have the Gen stuff uploaded, I don't seem to have your email addy... ??? 

Interesting to see all these names I don't know. :)

University/real-world stuff/lure of high poly 3d modelling has kept me away from here for a fair while, I really should get back into this. (and probably release trondm3)
