Une petite mise à jour au sujet de mon état actuel de mapping 🙂

Beaucoup de choses se passent dans ma vie réelle qui me tiennent très occupé, brièvement, cela veut dire que mon temps de mapping est considérablement réduit. En 2012, j’ai commencé à travailler sur 2 maps (1 DM + 1 CTF), en plus, j’ai DM-Amyrade qui a été mise de côté depuis 2011, une map que je continue à travailler dessus de temps à autre.

Je continue donc à mapper de temps en temps, à tester des choses en privé, mais je n’ai pas vraiment l’intention de mapper “sérieusement” avant septembre.

Mes vacances d’été sont très proches et avec tellement de choses à faire, je ne vais pas mapper beaucoup mis à par les journées maussades. Quoi qu’il en soit, excluant DM-Mégane, j’espère bien publier au moins 2 autres maps si possible cette année.

A little update about my current mapping status 🙂

Many great things are happening in my real life which keep me really busy, but to keep things short, it means that my mapping time have considerably reduced. In 2012, I’ve started to work on 2 maps (1 DM + 1 CTF), plus, I have my DM-Amyrade aside since 2011 which I work on it from time to time.

I still map, tests private stuff but I don’t intend to really map again before September. My summer vacations are very close and with so many things to do, I won’t map a lot.

Anyway, aside DM-Mégane, I hope to release at least 2 other maps this year, if possible.

Wow 50 000 views / visits since Stevie’s Corner is born, I’m happy 😀

When I moved from Epic forums by creating my blog, I had reached that amount of views and at the time, the game was pretty popular and the forums crowded so it wasn’t surprising to reach that views amount. Now, Epic UT3 forums is almost empty, the game not very popular anymore but I’ve still reached this views amount outside Epic so I’m surprise and happy 🙂

THX for those who visit my blog from time to time, it keep me motivated to share awesome stuff instead of keeping all that great content only for myself 🙂

A special THX for those who post their comments once in a while, it’s appreciated more than you know.

Have a good day readers 🙂

It was a surprise for me to notice today that I’ve received a honorable banner on Epic forums! A banner given only for Recognizing Outstanding Community Members You can see the banner “I Helped the Community!” right below my username.

My dude “Sly.” asked Flak on Epic to add my name and he explained to me that you only get this banner when you did something special or many little things to help the community and improve the forums. So, I can wear this banner with pride hé hé. I’m indeed flattered because not everybody gets one 🙂

A little moment of joy to share with ya all 😀

A little update about my November mapping status.

If you notice, I have severals maps in the work. To give you more details, here is their status :

CTF-Citius, RC2
DM-Amissa, final
DM-Amissa Night Edition, final
Greed-Amissa Night Edition, final
DM-Amyrade, B1
DM-Itarion, final
DOM-Itarion, final

All my maps are getting private testing. Don’t hope for a public release for anything that isn’t final. My DM maps will be include in a map pack while my CTF map will be release alone. I can’t tell nothing at the moment about the pack, still, now you know that all my stuff will be release soon 😀

A little update on my mapping status.

As you can see, I have 4 maps in the work. 1 CTF + 3 DM.

DM-Amissa & DM-Amyrade will be include in a map pack. Possibly my new DM-Itarion also. This will leave only CTF-Citius in the work. Been a while I didn’t work on it but be reassured it’s not a dead project 🙂

I can’t tell nothing at the moment about the pack, therefore, now you know that all my stuff will be release eventually.

My friend Lord_PorkSword on Epic forums create a thread requesting to Epic for porting UT3 to UDK for the PC.

It’s not the first time it has been asked but… personally, I keep seeing awesome UDK projects on Epic & BU, honestly, I’m getting bored to work with an outdated editor seeing so many beautiful things made withing UDK which is a free tool when me, have payed for 50$ a game that use the same editor. Lord_PorkSword ask Epic if they’d consider porting UT3 to the UDK engine for the PC?

This is what I posted :

Yep, the update from UT2003 to UT2004 worth every penny I paid for. There is no reason it can’t be done from UT3 to UDK. The only thing missing in UDK are the stock assets & few minors things.

I guess Epic isn’t interested to put time on their best ingame editor to date because they put all their time in GOW3. Shame because UT3 is dying, they don’t realize that without the PC community, no matter how good the game is, it doesn’t live eternally. Without a community, all game dies, that’s reality & if they want this game to live & keep the interest for the next UT, we, the community need an up-to-date editor so we can build maps & such.

I’m 200% with you LPS, it is quite legitimate to ask & demonstrate that all those who put their personal time to build something for this game worth something.

I would pay for the upgrade without hesitating! By showing your support, everyone wins. Mappers will have the opportunity to build much prettier stuff while players will be able to enjoy all that new stuff.

If you don’t care or think nothing can / will be done, don’t post defeatist comments like “this will never happen bla bla bla”. We all already know this and that type of attitude will never get this request anywhere. Everything is possible and maybe there’s a slim chance if enough support is shown to breath new life into this dying game.

As another dude of mine mentioned ; the only way is to show Epic that theres a solid core around UT3 with hope, support & enthusiasm… not a bunch of coldpissers always complaining about what is missing, never happy of what they have and also trying to answer at the place of Epic itself.

Show your support here 😀

I’m having some issues with my HDD on my pc, the one I install Windows 7 two weeks ago. I bought another HDD & will install everything next week (my w-e is very busy).

Since I can’t use my pc at home, I use my pc at work & I check forums once in a while to see what’s new. It is very quiet at the moment on all forums.

Brief, everything should be done next week so I can get back to mapping & post some new pics, at least I hope 🙂

Now that Windows 7 is installed & running since 1 week on my main pc, I’ve been able to install most of my apps & that include my most important app which is Sound Forge 8 for my audio editing. I’m still have a new problem while using it but it shouldn’t be to long before I resolve it.

I also fix my UT3 lag issue (long delay when I saved my maps) & manage to load the game as fast as it was in WinXP (it took much more time to load if you remember my previous post).

So I’m back on mapping 😀

I made some good progress in CTF-Citius lately & I post some pics in my UOF thread 🙂

I also done a bit of progress on DM-Amyrade but have nothing new to show yet 😦

I’m playing Uncharted on my new PS3 & I really like the game so far, love the gfx & it’s quite inspiring to make another Derelict map, a DM this time…
