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.

Makes ya think, doesn't it...
This thread has doubled the CTF doa thread, in half the time!

Proph,
While digging through the Unreal Ops archives for a new article I am working on I think I found what you are talking about. Head on over to UO to see if that is the video you are talking about.
Tycho
PS. Are these forums getting bigger or is it just me.
:EDIT: Nevermind someone already linked it.

From a mapper's perspective things are looking good too. I was told that in 2k4 per-poly collision is as fast or faster than simple collision for static meshes. Can't wait to see what else they have in store for 2k4, let alone the next engine.
Ut2k4 will have crap lighting on static meshes and wont have per poly collision on dynamic actors. That makes it no different than ut2k3. This new engine will hopefully have per poly collision for everything and enormously fantastic water/fluid effects.
But something HL2 will have soon (bump maps and source) Unreal engine will only have in 2 years. That's a huge draw-back for ut2004.

Actually yes, it's a HUGE difference from 2k3. Since they were able to focus on optimizing the existing code instead of building everything from scratch, they've been able to make it run a lot faster. Cliffy's statement that it would run on more machines than 2k3 is true, even if you didn't take into account faster computers.
My guess is that all three flags for static meshes will be set to False by default on import, and if I'm right the default Lightmap compression will be DXT1 since I kinda pwned them with that section of my optimization tutorial.

I hope they optimize ut2004 for outside areas, since most maps give lag in larger outside areas in ut2003. UT was also optimized for inside maps and it lagged on outside. I've played many games now with HUGE outside areas without lag. Too bad if they are dumb enough not to fix that.
I don't remember where but I think I remember I saw an 'official' comment about this necris title,in an interview somewhere (or maybe I imagined it,not sure...)NeoNite said:
And thanks for the info everybody, I like "technology" threads like that
(anybody remember the old threads before UT2k3 launch,and evreybody fantasming about what would be in the game?)
And what are the two new gametypes like? They show off plenty outdoors environments - no let's think that EPIC have been spending months bloating out the code and stealing other people's ideas!Doc_EDo said:
