Here is one of the most popular UT CTF maps still to this day. http://www.ut2003hq.com/pafiledb/pafiledb.php?action=file&id=2182
NovemberCE. Feel free to transform and rescale back to UT scale
it was upped to 1.3 from the original CE105 by Larathiel. The weapon layout and powerups are identical to UTs. Good Luck fellas, I'd really like to see this happen.
I also know of someone from the old school UT players who is also a very talented coder who tried to mutate 2k3 to UT weapon stats and an unlimited Translocator. He was the first to try this (it was like a week after 2k3 release. He spent long hours tweaking and adjusting everything to get it right and came to a dead end. His reasoning, and we're all pretty much aware of this now of course, was that the scale of the models and characters are too big. (88units vs 80units). He came to the conclusion that in order to get 2k3 to "feel" like UT was the the scaling in the engine must be completely revamped to original UT units/scale. This would require ripping the engine apart and theres prolly no way in hell epic would ever agree to this. (or even attemp to rebuild it themselves)
This guy is really sharp he also found what "lockdown" in UT was - a bug actually - when hit with the minigun or pulse the characters thinks its in "falling" mode and reacts as if it were falling off face or whatever.
Anyways if you guys are really intrested, reply to me and I'll tell you what irc network and channel he resides in now.
So if forced to use 2k3 scaling you'll need to remodel everything, not to mention player animations and the UT translocator etc.
Once again, good luck with this. I'd suggest you talk to the deathball coding team, those guys are responsible for Operation NaPali the UT ol school mod and other great mods/mutators and total conversions.
How DavidM did not get a job as a level creator at epic is beyond me...
