Mappers needed

[Bot_40]

Me and the rest of the DarkMagic team are looking for some mappers to help with the mod. We are looking for people who are reasonably skilled with UED and who are able to build the type of level that suits the mod eg. medieval forts, villages, terrain maps etc.
Currently there are no new gametypes but there will be in the very near futures. There are also plans to do a single player campaign at some pont.

You can get more info, screens, shots of current maps etc. at the darkmagic site www.planetunreal.com/ucz or at the DarkMagic mirror site http://www.nitefoll.com/dmagic/

Anyone who is interested should reply to this thread or go to the darkmagic forums (http://fusion.beyondunreal.com/forums/forumdisplay.php?s=&forumid=138). Examples of previous/current maps would help.

Seriously i would love to do it, but im not sure i can make the maps you want.

 

[Bot_40]

Well, basiclly any sort of map that will suit DarkMagic (duh eg. no warehouses, richrig facilities etc.

 

[Chrysaor]

I've never tryed this mod, but it doesn't look like something I'd like. I hope u get some help tho

Also, i think i'm dyslexic, cuz on the "about" thing, i read "Help to Like?" wtf? i'm weird.

well most of my maps have a gothic theme........dl dm-ktulu to see an example, but i warn you the map isnt great and i have gotten better

if its not great you shouldnt use it too demonstrate you skills in something, people could start thinking you suck if you first show them something bad

Go to the site, download it and see! www.planetunreal.com/ucz
We're mainly looking for large maps such as large outdoor areas, huge castles. Darkmagic is more suited for open-area fighting.
All maps MUST be botpathed, we are lloking for a reasonably high standard of map.
Polycount wise, you make up your own mind. I like to keep my maps below 200 if I can, Darkmagic can be a bit more of a strain on your system then UT and we obviously don't want 500+ polys :\ (unless it's falkenstien)

Actually I found it plays rather well even flying over maps like ProjectX but thats only my rig of course

 

[Bot_40]

Well I find it does tend to slow down somewhat when you have 6 bots all firing lightning and lavaball spells at you :\

 

[Frostblood]

Its a good mod from the old version I have. I might make a map for it. Actually, if youre desperate, you could grab my DM-Mythril map from NC. Its an ancient castle map with a big snowstorm outside, very small ( 1v1 ). It got 6.5 I think, its not great but I play it occasionally.

It's a bit on the tech side. Dark Magic goes better with a medieval/fantasy theme.
Besides, new maps are better than conversions any time.

PS: Why isn't the map on NC?

Yeah I gotta take that as an insult. It took me a while to remember hexen... a FPS really, with magical stavesor wands, sceptres etc. that shoot some kind of projectiles and use mana you have to collect... really nothing but fancy weapons.

Dark Magic, however has many different types of spells, protection, invisibility, heal, fly even.

And, of course, a wast arsenal or combat spells, the 'weapons'

But tell me: Where could you summon a demon to your aid in hexen?


@stoneviper: as many as possible But really every single map makes a difference, especially when it's big and carefully crafted.
We are working on a number of scripts that can be implemented, but none are completly finished yet. There will be a number of environemntal effects, raind and snow, and a number of other stuff. Items are still lacking also, but if you really have interest you should know the mod first, and try the maps we got already.
There is a Dark Magic forum accessible throught the homepage www.planetunreal.com/ucz btw; there dhould also be a thread about maps

i like hexen wouldnt mind finding a copy of hexen2.....

But tell me: Where could you summon a demon to your aid in hexen?

you could summon a centaur/minotaur or somthing........if i remember correctly..........
