thx guys for you incite Usually coffee or some techno music starts my spark, but always nice to see how everyone else works.

Out of the blue on Saturday night the spark hit from 10pm-4am. Went back and touched up my swat4 level. Making it coop and adding a little better level design. It's amusing going back to a level that you made and seeing all the mistakes I made, no snapping to grid, bad texture placement, etc

I definitely agree that mapping on the weekend is far more enjoyable than during the weekday. Especially when its raining and cold.

Working everyday as a level designer, I'm finding it difficult to come home and start working on a map in the evenings. I have a few planned out, but none of them have made it to BSP.

Where do you find your creative spark after working all day? Play a game, then it happens! Or does it just happen suddenly a strike of inspiration! Drink a few beers, some play some GoW then you have an idea, after another beer.

Looking for interesting tips

i heard adams a freak be careful he doesn't make you do sexual things with his halo 2 figures.

i said it in polycount, and i'll say it here,

Awesome!!!! Gonna reinstall HL2 tonight just so i can walk around it. How long did this map take you? What were some of the problem you encountered compiling the meshes?

took me about a week to learn the fundamentals, coming from a non-level design background. Now I can create some pretty wicked stuff in kismet

if you want to get started learning Unreal Engine 3 scripting using RoboBlitz my friend ArcadiaVincennes has created some detailed tutorials on how to use Kismet.

congrats kleinluka!

I'm gonna get the pc version. Hopefully theres a UE3 level editor inside

insurgency needs to hurry up and get released! at this rate, team fortress 2 will be out by the time this is released

yep, i downloaded it.

The editor is very similar to our build, everything works as it should. The particle tool, material editor work the same. Kismet is a little different. They added alot of custom events and actions.

I created a material at work to simulate rain dripping down a brickwall. I recreated the same material in the RoboBlitz editor, and the only different was that the normal map didn't see as strong on the wall. The dynamic lighting didn't see as strong.

for 14.95 its a good deal to play with the editor Just don't buy it from steam, otherwise you have to open steam everytime

Congrats

Hourences: i need to get a new hosting this month, so i can host it when i make the switch, or u can, im good either way. I started writing a cascade tutorial today (particle tool) since i've been learning it for a 3 weeks now. hehe.

oh, if any of you downloaded the game and cannot run your level, this is why

Add "RBArena" to the front of the filename of your map, is needed to spawn the robot in the level

I agree with you Hourences, this release of RoboBlitz can only produce sales to get people looking to get a head start on the editor before UT2007 comes out. I'm going to start working on some tutorials too, maybe we should work together

RoboBlitz is a modified editor and everything that you can do in UE3 you can do in this editor. Only downside is that i cannot play a simple BSP level without the editor freezing. Not sure if anyone else gets this problem.

Its definately worth the 14.99 for the editor, if you want to get a jump start on learning

The 1st game to use Ue3 came out on steam 2 days ago, RoboBlitz. The game is an OK puzzler, however a full version of the Ue3 editor is shipped with the game. If you interested in playing with it, head over to steam and check it out for 14.99

be good to learn the editor now, before Ut2007 comes out

sounds like a great idea! help spread the word on mods.

any recommendations on a hosting service? My current one is ending in december and its 65 a year for 900mb. I know i can do better, so I thought id ask you guys

Lee

ordered FFXII so hopefully be playing that soon. Tonights gaming with the new rainbow 6 demo

I'm browsing CNN and theres a flash pop-up for gearbox software using dells to create their games. Curiously, I clicked the link and there were also other employees and what they do for the company.

I wonder what kind of sweet deal you guys got from Dell

Brome's probably Phobos's bitch before you came along

Congrats Patrick!!!!!
