The Biggest Explosion... Ever

[BobTheBeheader]

Wow, comments by the author, awesome!

I bet it would be possible to write a script to fill a map up with barrels.

There is a limit to how many emitters the emitter system in UE2.5 can handle. It's however many emitters come out of about ~28,000 exploding barrels. You know those clips at the end of the video where ALL the barrels blow up at the same time? I tried to do that to Dria. The Dria lakebed has almost 300,000 barrels. UT2004 couldn't even GPF. The UT2004.log said something about a critical in the emitter system... I figured I'd hit a hard limit.

Awesome video, and quite a technical accomplishment!

300,000 barrel

Lol

Must have took some duplication to do that.

If you're curious, head on down to the local bargain bin and pick up the Unreal Anthology for $5. It's a game development studio in a box and the amount of custom content is endless. Yes, it's 5+ years old, but we're still having fun with it.

:tup:

300,000 barrels.

omg THATS OVER 9000

 

[IronMonkey]

Lol

If you double the number of barrels with every select all, copy, paste then you only need 19 operations (after the initial barrel) to exceed 300000 barrels (2^19=524288). Not as many duplications as one might think.

Edit: For clarity, that is 19 operations to reach the point where each paste adds more than 300 000 barrels. The total number of barrels in the level will be higher than that because of the previous pastes.

Oh

Well It Seemed Like A Lot.

This movie is just epic!

[haha on the V symbol]
I could play that video on 5th of November.

 

[TheSpoonDog]

Hehe... very well done If it was done earlier in UT3 probably would've got a place in MSUC machinima.

 

[Bersy]

I doubt you could enter a UT2004 machinima into the UT3 MSUC.

 

[haarg]

You wouldn't think so, but at least one person tried to enter a UT2004 map.

System used:
AMD 6400+
2GB PC6400 DDR
8800GTS 512MB
About 80GB of HDD space (for 4 minutes of video!)
Windows XP 64 bit

A 64-bit OS and the 64-bit version of UT2004 was REQUIRED.

That's right people. He DOES NOT have the uber-1337 rig some may think

 

[dirtyharry]

OUTSTANDING !

 

[Defeat]

Thanks for posting here with the information. Glad it's going further than you anticipated

Did you miss the part where he said "in UT3"?

 

[Kantham]

Reminds me of those Crysis videos. But less laggy.

 

[Angel_Mapper]

Do 300,000 barrel rolls!

 

[[NBK]Rattman]

That was a really great video...Thanks for coming over to the forum and posting all those details.

Yea, well but it doesnt work that way because can't just always copypaste ALL the previous ones. The maps arent just flat spaces.
