[stevenhorton]

I built a map in order to cook the UnWheel2 vehicles for submission into the MSU contest, here are 3 screenshots. In order to enter the vehicles, they muct be released to the community, so keep watch for the release:)

I think it would look a lot better if you up res the grass and dirt textures that are right next to the track. The texel density difference is very distracting...

[stevenhorton]

NeoNautica, you are absolutely correct. I made the map and most of the meshes in something like a week and a half. I tried to scale the texture yesterday, both in the terrain properties, and using the scale tool in the terrain editor; I can find no texture scale setting in the properties, and the scale texture tool in the terrain editor did nothing:( So, because of a very tight timeline, I left it as it is:P I do hope to be able to fix the scale, and add grass to the terrain.

[NeoNautica]

You could make a custom material for the grass and Multiply a TexCoord with a Constant... then plug that into the UVs of the diffuse and normal map texture.

Tweak the constant until it looks nice and crisp :)

Hey Steve, How you been?
Well on the topic of your beta, if you cook it for PS3 i will try it on my PS3 :D

[stevenhorton]

Hi jerdaygo:) Pam and I are doing well; Pam is retiring at the end of the month, after 37 years!
I haven't even looked at what it takes to cook for PS3, but I need to do that. I will post a link here.

Very cool, tell Pam congrats from me. I am glad you are doing well. I dont know anything about it for sure but I seem to remember Diego1203 saying it was pretty simple to cook a map or mod for PS3, but i could be wrong. I have not messed with it at all as i am super busy working on my thesis and other classes, but it should be all over in May :D

Does this mean I need to buy ut3 now :doh:
Nice to see it coming together ;)

That site is extremely slow for me, I can't get the download to work, is anyone else having a problem with it?

EDIT: Nevermind, it's working now.

It's looking pretty good Steve! The cars look nice in game, they turn a little slow at high speed though. I noticed a couple of times that the cars stuck together, has this been a problem for you? I've had problems with Kactors sticking together in my mod as well.

[stevenhorton]

Hello Adam:) Yes, the vehicles do stick together sometimes:(
The steering at high speed has been altered some, but it is a help over UT2004. At higher speeds the vehicle code will limit how far the wheels will turn. I have disabled alot of it, but left enough to keep control at high speed.

[Diego1203]

Let me know if you want any help cooking/testing things on ps3 by the way. :)

This version is for anyone who wants to test it for me:P Looking good. The camera is weird though how its in 3rd person but rotates like 1st person.

[stevenhorton]

yes, the camera is wierd:P We no longer have our great coder:(

[Malibu Barbie]

Howdy all.

I'm waaaaaaay out of the loop, but I'm guessing this new version requires the new version of Unreal?

I tried to play the UT3 demo, but it doesn't work with my old computer. :(

Ps: How are youse all doing?

[stevenhorton]

Still pluggin along:P

[$n][pErMan]

Is there anyway I would be able to host a beta UW2 server on Linux w/o buying UT3? :)

[stevenhorton]

So far UnWheel 2 is just vehicles in a deathmatch race map, and can be played on any server.
As to whether you need UT3, I have no absolute knowledge about servers, but I would guess you would need UT3.
