Epic Games & MapCore's Unreal Tournament Level Design Contest Discussion

I'll be looking at this thread several times a day to help out! I know my way around the UT editor pretty well, so don't hesitate to ask if you need assistance.

I mean let's face it, first stage is a grey box dev map. I've seen you post your work on these forums for years. I think I can judge your capabilities, this is definitely something you can handle dude. I hope you can spend some time on it and deliver!

I tink i'll pass it tbh, I already have too many projects going on , I really have to stay focused on my actual projects

Started a whitebox, didn't realise auto save wasn't enabled by default in editor preferences. Crashes placing a fucking bsp cube, lost about an hour and a half of work. :o

save, save and always save. I'm a saveaholic these days

Will start again tonight

How i wish i could start whiteboxing already My laptop can't run the engine properly, i have to wait till weekends to use my PC <sad>

I sympathize my laptop also has trouble running it..

Interestingly enough the 4.11 engine works fine while the UT4 editor lags so much. Maybe that could be a way for you to start?

I started boxing out last night. Interested in working with an artist... Let me know if you're interested.

Started white boxing but would consider a collaborating with someone. Gonna bang out the rest of my whitebox this weekend and I have some art inspiration in my head for the mesh work. It's gonna be good.

Tempting, though I really feel like I should remain focused on my own idea for a blueprint based first person shooter. Hmm..

I submitted a basic shell prototype. I assume I am free to amend the download link with updated versions?

Holy crap, even my main PC at home can't run the editor properly, it's not a beast but I thought it would be fine since it runs the CryEngine editor alright. I think I might have to pass on the contest, opening the editor takes 3 minutes and dragging in a textured mesh from Chill froze the editor for 5 minutes... I'm probably lacking in the memory and HDD department

The assets freezing the editor is a big problem that they need to address if possible. The first time the editor opens is always slow, so you should give it a few tries first. Running it from an SSD helps obviously

Yeah first time I opened it it took 30minutes

It's probably caching tons of shaders, it shouldn't take that long once things are loaded. Probably worth opening the official maps, then starting a shell We also support different gfx specs for the editor, can try lowering them in the settings panel. I don't think the editor is that demanding, but then I do have a pretty powerful pc at home and work. I have noticed the UT editor takes longer than other projects to load, but not in a way that was ever a deal breaker for me.

Make sure to turn off auto navmesh updating, this can be frustrating, and I also noticed having blueprints tool open is actually really demanding, so closing tools your not using will help.
