Unreal 95 Release.

[arisfo]

Unreal 95 why?

Why the interest on those releases, if you please?

I love the Unreal I lost world, to play single player maps I had no time then to see, and as a hobby look into the UnrealEd 1.0 however it never ocurred to me there were other versions on Unreal I.

your looking at a test for Unreal, to show it off.

a lot of things got built, but discarded, or not included in the game.
like the RTNP expansion which uses maps not included in Unreal.

is the music in this different to the full release in 97?

yes, one tune is used in one of the pre-release movies

I just downloaded it...thanks Rogue!

Unfortunately, it gives me an error when trying to run it.

"Type library System\Unreal.tlb couldn't be registered. Please reinstall Unreal."

 

[NeoNite]

Runs fine for me. Did you put the maps etc in a seperate directory? outside unreal?

I figured out what happened. At work I'm using win2k and winzip. I copied them over to a directory named "Unreal95". After seeing the error message I made the directories "maps", "system", and "music", then put the files into what I thought were the appropriate folders, but it still didn't work.
When I got home, where I'm using winXP, I realized that the zip file had specified paths for each of the files. Problem solved.
Moral of the story....umm, I'm not sure...but anywho...this is a great piece of Unreal history.:tup:

btw, did anybody see "The woman, dragon, and gargoyle" that is said to be included according to the help file?

 

[DRT-Maverick]

Anyone know where to get the 97prerelease?

 

[dinwitty]

I have no idea about the 97 release.

the bat files run the different levels, they copy them into the system folder and they run only a single map name.

havent seen the woman, gargoyle yet

 

[dinwitty]

woman, dragon and gargoyle are listed in the UNENGINE.DLL

I'm checking it out.

dunno if their summonable

 

[dinwitty]

JWizard·····Gargoyle····PWoman··RedDragon

thats in the DLL..JWizard? getting curious....

 

[DRT-Maverick]

does it work?

Thanks for the response dinwitty, but you must have missed the part where I said, "Problem solved."...as in...I got it working.
Someone should figure out how to gank those models from that .dll, and throw them into Unreal/UT.:tup: Provided they actually exist somewhere in the unreal95 files.

 

[dinwitty]

on the console, you can open a new view window, and you will have a different viewpoint.
I wondered about all those extra eyes in there

 

[Hawkeye74]

Wow, thanks for posting this. Very cool to see how far the game has come. I thought the help file was just as interesting as the demo, with things like:

"Unreal will be published in shareware"
"it might appear to be a prison cell. An angled metal door is ahead."
"You see a bright green landscape and lake beyond."
"creatures with an insectoid look to them--including an alien dragon"

It would be great now if someone could dig up the later betas.

 

[JohnDoe641]

Very cool. Thanks for the linkage.

I was having fun spawning several hundred of those light eyes in a top rounded corridor and they just kept bouncing.

 

[Sarevok]

link doesn't work, you still have the demo up Rogue?!
I need the demo!!!

 

[Hellscrag]

It only works when Rogue is online... I think...

 

[3D FPS]

The link doens't work!

 

[NeBan]

ok, i have this demo now -- anyone wants it?
btw, does anyone know how to spawn these characters?
