Being able to read is a big advantage, check the first post.

I am looking forward to see the final version of it. Make something out of it. (like using S3TC highres textures instead of the low resolution ut1 texes)

Hi xear0
Cowlike is developing the Assault mod fot UT3.
Here is the link with the beta download. It works fine. It's a very good project.

Hi Creavion
That will be the "details" phase, when I will try to add high resolution textures and make high detailed materials with 3D, but will be the most difficult and long phase.
Now several textures are in low resolution, but the look isn't bad.

hi xumari.

i really appreciate the work of all, who will bring back Assault to ut3

so far it looks fine and you are doing well pls note that Guardia is the most spammy map in ut 99 and in its original form almost not successfully attackable. that's why there are many remakes of it . For example GuardiaAL

but looking forward for the betatesting. so we will see

 

[Xumari]

pls note that Guardia is the most spammy map in ut 99 and in its original form almost not successfully attackable.

Yes, you're right, I remember. I'm trying to difficult the spam.
The reason I start with this map is that is simple to convert (no skybox, small map... simple) and in the assault1c mod there is a remake Guardio wich i can use to compare the assault configuration and learn to use the editor.

If every goes well, I will continue the work converting all the UT99 maps, and after that will see if I can with UT2004 assault maps (in my opinion the bests specially Mothership).

I hope I can finish the movers and assault configuration tomorrow. The process goes well. Now I can play this map with the assault mod with a few little problems that i think will be solved tomorrow.
I will upload a beta soon.

Thanks for your support

Hi all!
I'm very pleased to announce the first beta of my first converted assault map
The conversion process is done, and the map is fully playable with bots.
I played with godlike bots and it's very hard... but I think it has a good balance.
As you can see I added some new items, for example a spidermines to attackers for easy start the assault, and a link generator to defenders to easy defend of the tank.

I hope you will enjoy with this traditional map.
Remember that is a beta, and please if you find some bugs or have any sugestion, please tell me here or in my eMail (see the readme).

Play and Enjoy!! XD

Now it's available... sorry

 

[PrototypeNr1]

while extracting the .ut3 file it gives me an error :/

maybe corrupted upload?

 

[Phoenix_Wing]

Extracted fine for me. Try redownloading it

 

[Xumari]

Hmmm, I think Phoenix is right.
Redownload the map.
If the problem persist tell me and will zip the UT3 for you.

 

[PrototypeNr1]

i did i did... still an error :/ maybe because of windows 7 pls zip it for me

 

[Creavion]

Honestly.. why do you compress that as exe? I am very careful with exe downloads...

 

[Xumari]

Honestly.. why do you compress that as exe? I am very careful with exe downloads...

The exe is fully compatible, and has the posibility to show the license with Agree/Disagree buttons, and it's automatic self-extracting (very easy to install).
I understand you're carefully with exe, but with a good anti-virus there is no problem. This is an WinRAR exe and the probability to have a virus is the same in an exe and rar. Believe me, I know what I'm talking about
But this is a beta, then I'll prepare a zip format too

 

[PrototypeNr1]

still need the ut3 file

 

[Xumari]

Done
Now it's available an EXE format and ZIP format. I recommend the EXE format.

PrototypeNr1, try with ZIP. I think there will not be any problem with Windows7.

 

[PrototypeNr1]

that's pissing me on... everytime it says the file Guardia.ut3 is corrupted. i downloaded the latest winrar and winzip version. i ran it as admin ( usually not necessary) ....

i have no problem with other files only with that one. and i downloaded that zip/exe file about 10 times -.-



gonna try to download it with my old computer now -_- <- same error

 

[Xumari]

I've re-uploaded and tested the EXE format and works well.
If it fails again, I don't know what can it be

I hope it work now
Enjoy!

 

[PrototypeNr1]

okay I've checked the map out now

first of all it's well done and i can't see any other bugs than you have listed above.


some improvement suggestion :

- the button which opens the garage should instantly be triggered when you touch it.
Seems like you have to wait a few seconds touching the button till it triggers.

- and i still think it's too hard to attack on a 6on6. The Goliath at the end is like a superweapon. Has way too much hitpoints and can even be repaired.


Just some feedback of my site. I really appreciate your work and love the map
