Credits:

The content of this level was taken all from the retail version of UT3, I did modify some materials, but a big thanks to EPIC for putting their content into well sort out groups, I would not have been able to do this if it was not for this level of organization.

Thanks to "Larathiel eMail" who created this map for UT1, this map was great, and was simple enough to be the very first map I have made.

-----------------------------------------------------
Installation
-----------------------------------------------------

Unzip CTF-SafeGuard.zip

Move all files into C:\Documents and Settings\YOURNAME\My Documents\My Games\Unreal Tournament 3\UTGame\Published\CookedPC\CustomMaps

If the directory does not exist, create it manually.

Type "open CTF- SafeGuard" in the console, or select the level in a multiplayer/instant action game.

If you find you are seeing low detail meshes when you play. This is not a problem with my map rather a problem with your game setup. I have managed to fix this for myself.
What I suggest you do, is uninstall, reinstall, patch, and then create the custom maps folder. Next time you play the map, all should look good!

thanks, Im just going to play test it with the U damage, and maybe make a few more changes because I want it to be perfect when I submit it in the make something unreal contest.

thats a bit negative, there are other options, some people just so happen to like it, so if i get rid of it entirely then those who liked it would be disappointed. I could reduce the radius to the flag room, or reduce the volume? maybe implement a timer so it would time out after a min

yeah i don't think i could restrict the sound like that

Hmmm I actully dont know how to cook for Ps3, the version 1.2 has been Ps3 cooked but unless someone does so with this version, I probably will not.

Hmmm of cause I welcome everyone's comments, I shell try implement a timer say 3 secs, if I cant get it to work ill remove it

We played it at FragBU last weekend and everyone loved the map.
I think it's a great conversion of a really fun map and find the alarms a little annoying but not a deal-breaker. I'm just curious what prompted you to put them in?

Click to expand...

Thanks hal that means allot, its good to hear its getting around frag BU, if i had Internet in my game PC i would join in
I put them in because sometimes I would spawn and not realise the enemy has the flag, I guess its just me, but the flag taken Icon just does not stick out to me enought, I thought the alarm was a good reminder. O well the people have spoken, so I shall Listen.

Something really Important I want peoples opinion about is weather or not to replace the original version, as some servers obviously host it now, I don't want incompatibility, should I call it CTF-Safeguard 2 or overwrite?

I love the alarm since no other map has it, CTF-SearchLight has the light that fallows the flag carrier but thats about it.

It makes Safeguard (should i say 2) unique.

yeh thats what I thought to, you must be the only one other then myself who likes the idea

Kool thanks, man, yeh I just cant stop working on it, I've made even more changes, Like added a liquid tank at the entrance at the end of both walk ways. updated images to show this. Also added an image the shows the subtraction in the ceiling meshed up for the Udamage in the centre over the health

woops I quoted my original post... umm what should I say here.. um in regards to performance its as good as it has always been, and dont worry Anuban, I dont test it on my sig machine haha, I have a lower grade PC, it still seems to do better then the retail maps
