Birds flapping their wings sound - By freesound.org contributer tigersound. The sound is played as a proximity cue (bFullVolume); it alerts players of other players approaching or leaving the Serenity Garden from a specific passage.

Thanks, great remake of a classic map!




Edit: also, I dedicate this post to Satan.

excellent remake!

First, let's briefly touch upon the maps for Unreal and UT:

DmElsinore (Unreal) > this one is by CliffyB and I liked the crags and purple skybox outside and gloomy inside with lava pools, water, dimly lit hallways and many paths. This has typical Unreal atmosphere, but bots are really difficult in this game and can't hear any music in the botmatch.

DM-Elsinore][ (UT) > this one is by Chris Airey and looks the same or at least very similar to the original Unreal version, but has added Flyby music and some different weapons (i.e. - chainsaw). If you never played the Unreal version, then this UT version is the closest you can get to that experience.

Now let's talk about the map in this thread (DM-Elsinore]i[ (UT2004) by rejecht). What makes this one cool is it is not an exact port and it created a completely different and eerie environment with a similar layout. I like the changes with the wild lava, wire-mesh grates, blue dusk and foggy skybox outside, darker and more purple inside with rays of moonlight streaming in at certain places. I noticed an added link gun and lightning gun as well as, oh look, an albatross! I liked the ambient sounds of birds, crows, water, lifts and heartbeat as well as the leading player's name on that one wall of the curved corridor. I didn't think the map was too dark, but just slightly darker than the original and wasn't bothered by the shining corners in places. This one has the same great gameplay and the bots are decent. I like the gameplay tips and I noticed you have to use a jumppad to get the big keg o' health in this map.

Good... Now all we need is for someone to recreate this for UT3, then we'll be all set.
Hey, someone had to stick up for the newest of the Unreal franchise!

 

[SkaarjMaster]

This version would actually look really cool in UT3.

Good remake of Cliffy B's Unreal map.

Good intellectual textures, lava, good weapon/ammo placements and there must be a few hideouts somewhere. Love the whiteboard in the Super Shield Belt area you will see the player name with the most frags (it will appear soon). The lights and torches are natural and still perfect for the most (I don't care about dark layouts and the sunlight effect). Great gameplay and the bots are really good at.
