--Check this out – the old feeling--

[Starstreams]

Ok, first off only download this if you have played Unreal 1 the game, if not then there is no point because you won’t have those memorys to relate.

Please turn your HUD off for this map: "Please I ask or you will kill the mood".
The music should play even if you have your music off and it must play for this example so turn your speakers on or don't bother.

Let me know how you feel on this?
Here is the question: doses the music make the mood in this level feel like the old unreal game?

Is this for UT2K3? I ask because I spotted a .ogg file and I don't have the game installed at the moment.

 

[Starstreams]

Yes it is. I modified the map in UT2004

I would check it out when you get a chance.
You will see right away what I’m getting at with this post. One of the biggest things that disappointed me about the new Unreal-II was the modern techno music. I mean they went from dark new age to modern new wave or what ever you call it.

Anyway check this map out; you’ll see just how powerful the music in a level can be.

 

[das_ben]

I don't have enough space for UT2K3 right now [I know, I need to upgrade daily]. I'll check the file out nevertheless, one of the various music players on my HD probably handles .ogg files.

Well if you can’t play it, at least look at this picture when you are playing the music. I know it sounds corny but trust me.

Just keep this picture up on your screen and look at it while you listen to the music from that OGG file
But it is better to play the map becouse you get the rain effects and smoke as well as the rain sound. Makes it all that much more real.

By the way, again this is a 2004 map, not sure if it will even play on 2003? I know it's backwark compatible as far as playing old maps in the new version of unreal but not sure about playing new maps on the older 2003 platform? Or am I wrong, maby it is a 2003 map, I forget?

I like it. The mood is there, but some of the sounds you used are not similar enough with unreal 1 music, maybe too modern. Perhaps it lacks a bit of ethnic influences too.

No, it doesn't work on 2k3. I do get that feeling that Unreal gave, not quite the same, and being the music critic that I am there's a number of things I'd change, but the answer is a yes.

A person over at T.COM mapped a rendition of Nyleve falls for UT2k3. Should work in 2k4.

 

[Starstreams]

Wow, thanks for posting this, absolutely beautiful.
Man I wish Epic would remake the entire Unreal 1 game on the new engine with all the same music, Man would I be in heaven.


By the way, were you able to download Nyleve-2? I keep getting a corrupt file error when trying to open the zip file, it's 648KB in size which dosen't sound right.

I just registered there so maybe that’s why I couldn’t get the file but I just have to wait for the conformation.

Amazing work from that guy, Thanks so much for shearing this!

 

[Demosthanese]

I got that the first time I dLed it. Try DLing it a second time. That fixed it for me.

 

[Starstreams]

na, same thing I still get the error.

So your saying you have this CTF-NyLeve2Version2 map file? can you please send it to me?

I wish someone would port Serpentine to 2k4.

 

[Crowze]

Get it from Nali City.

 

[zeep]

Never played original unreal, well past the first level that is.
I think i was into quake2 at the time.. or q3.

Anyway, i like the atmosphere except for the movement of ut2k4 in the map. It's too fast. But the music is nice. Indeed a fresh breath after all that techno-rock-crap music. Don't get me wrong tho, i love techno, but that rock influence is just not my cup of tea.

Serpentine was the first time i saw ironsights for an fps game, it was so cool i remember modifying all my inf maps at that time to have both Inf and serpentine weapons in the same level. BTW I wonder if it was the first mod with ironsights...
Sorry if i'm offtopic. Well, i loved the unreal outside maps. Phew, back on the subject.
