Two Factor Authentication is now available on BeyondUnreal Forums. To configure it, visit your Profile and look for the "Two Step Verification" option on the left side. We can send codes via email (may be slower) or you can set up any TOTP Authenticator app on your phone (Authy, Google Authenticator, etc) to deliver codes. It is highly recommended that you configure this to keep your account safe.

You got it. The cookie will arrive via mail, maybe.
What version should I call this one? I think just EpicBoy2 would be good, but I'm not sure how many versions there have been in UT2... or maybe EpicBoy2009... Dunno. I'll need to figure out a theme too...
looking at the screens, should be pretty easy to optimize.. cull distance volumes will do most the work in a map like that.
im told my maps look the same too... they are generic thats for sure.. because.. yeh there were sposed to be Im not fond of making maps that you wouldnt see come with the game itself.

Not sure what makes a level designer when he does things too similar one from another? Bad, good? But lately yeah I've been having a "white fetish" if that's a appropriate way of describing this:
I always thought level designers had their own signatures without people reminding them how they follow the same pattern. Or yet how everything looks exactly the same.
Just my 2 cents.

I say **** and keep the trims.
Or maybe you could just use Smeshes rather than just old fashioned BSP trim?
Yeah I feel you. But I prefer that old fashioned UT2004 colored taste. Even for UT3.

Trimming BSP with static meshes is the way forwards. It breaks gash BSP edges that don't look natural enough.
That said, this is Unreal. There IS no BSP.
It's CSG.

That's too bad, as it's the crazy / unusual maps that give this game some much needed flava.
Same goes for for custom models, muts etc.; it's the ones that don't 'fit in' that tend to be the most fun. Generic dude in power armor = meh, color changing Easter Bunny = classic.
I'd much rather make, and play levels that have a unique touch to them. Can't really get that by making levels that look like exactly like the ones from the game.
Same here, i understand where bazzwano is coming from. But i think its much better to make levels that are totally different from the normal stock maps, there isnt any memorable maps in ut3 imo, they are all excellent like, but there isnt much difference between them that makes them stand out from one another. If your going to spend time making a map, id make it at least some way original.
