Okay, awful topic name. I'm making a map for a UT2003 mod called UnrealSpeed. Here's a teaser shot, I don't have anything else.

This map is a small looped course with bumpy terrain (makes it harder (duh!)), and a little trap I'll post pics of as soon as i can get it to bloody WORK, as every map I've ever worked on had or has some sort of error *cough*. [EDIT: Feel free to revive that thread, I need replies (hint hint)]

Now, I have two questions. If anyone here is experienced in UT2003 editing, maybe you can help me, the UT2003 board is down right now.
1) See how the terrain layers don't go smoothly from one layer to the next? See how theey're jagged and seem to cast shadows? It's reall smooth in the editor, and there aren't any lights shining on it. Any ideas?

2) My map somehow got converted to a read-only file. I wasn't doing anything, then I tried to delete a static mesh, and WHAM! It says it is a read-only file and crashes. I can't do ANYTHING now without it giving me that message and crashing. What could I have done to inadvertantly make it read-only?

There. If you want to know more about UnrealSpeed or maybe even download it, click here.

Awful topic name? That was an AWESOME topic name!

Anyway, looks cool. I like it.

How on earth did you do that with UT2003? That's incredible!!!

Uh... what, my level, or the car?

...the audience looks real pixelated, rest looks good.

Well... given the fact that daft never really reads ANY text on any showcase thread ever... he prolly thinks you made the mod, too.

No, the audience is very smooth in-game. It looks pixelated because it's far away, and because of JPG compression. It's the audience from UT2003's intro, and does that look pixelated? Hmmmm?

ok.. i agree.. but hey, these are just screenies..

You certainly live up to your sig, Cazor.

Seriously man, what did I do to deserve that. Give me examples of when I've supposedly done this before. I've defied what you said just by reading your post right now. Why does everyone on this website have something against me?


[Edit:] Oh, okay, well if you're talking about the deal about Zuljin, I'm sorry okay, we all make mistakes. You don't have to condemn me and mark me for life. Sheesh.

Oh sweet Jesus, the last Showcase thread I read, the same **** went down. I'm with Cazor on this one folks. I think Daft's the one that's been drinking Tide, not Cazzy-boy.

Anyways, thinking that this thread should get back on topic, that is one sexy, sexy screenie.

This one I saw 2 seconds ago, and made note of. I remember a while ago seeing a few other posts, and then this one here, then Zully's thread. You need to take in that the words above and below screenshots tell you stuff. They're not just there for looks.

Looks ok, need to fix that problem with the light problems, and the car model looks a LITTLE low on pollys, but I'm not sure how well UT2K3 could handle high polly cars.

I'm sorry Cazor, I read the Holocron thread!

I guess listening (or reading carefully) is not one of my most accomodating skills. Could you guys forgive me, I'll try not to do it again.

Insipid, you don't have to ge quite so mad though, good grief I just made a little mistake, okay?

Bah! Daft, don't tell me you didn't read the whole Cazor drinkin' Tide Thread???

And I don't think I was being harsh. I use vulgarities while I describe the weather, so...meh.

What... hey! Everyone acts as if I made the mod and the car! I made neither, I am showcasing the level. And I have the light problem figured out, I'm just waiting for an e-mail.

Oh thankyou, I feel better! A always makes my day. Sorry if I get on you people's nerves. I've just been feeling a bit depressed lately, what with school starting and all. Sometimes I feel like Marvin the Paranoid Android!

The Cazor + Tide thread sounds hilarious, could you give me a link Insipid, thanks!

Just curious, if the car's not yours, how come it has "Zell" on the bumper plate?

Because in UnrealSpeed, like every other racing game, puts your profile name in the game on the back license plate. Take a look at every other racing game out there and you'll see.

You can't do that in Midtown Madness.

But I do understand now. It is a very interesting map, I like the snowy icicles or hanging from the checkpoint as well. Nice attention to detail. Good Job!
