Part of why I'm delayed on certain projects is I rarely work only 1 thing at a time. Kinda scatterbrained like that, which is why I'm lagging on 7 different skinning projects at the moment (only 3 of them are my own) and I'm actively making edits to about 40 different maps. Bopping back and forth to each project, doing a little here and there, until finally stuff gets done.



As I've mentioned prior, here and there, I found a large number of maps by a "mapper" who calls himself (admittedly gender assuming there) Pornstar. The maps are quality pieces but he splashed porn over all of them, and not with any rhyme or reason. Sometimes only a little, sometimes he practically paved nearly every surface with porn. Now, don't get me wrong... I love porn, but in mapping it should make sense where it's placed and none of it existed with his maps. Moreso after I recognized a couple maps and noted they weren't all made by the same mapper.

It seems Pornstar took maps from other mappers, erased all of their information from the maps so it's nearly impossible to identify (and I've been looking) who made the original maps.

So, I've been censoring them as best I can. In some places replacing textures, in others black-boxing the naughty bits. Hasn't been as easy as I initially planned because on some maps he built structures for some of the porn to be placed on and if I remove that it destabilizes the map and causes BSP-Hell.

My original plan was to censor/fix them all and then re-release them in a map pack... but as stated above, I get a wee bit scatter-brained on this kinda stuff.



This is a tightly packed arena sized map, lots of places to duck and cover, a few places to get stuck in with no way out until somebody kills you. Barney (named for silly reasons) is a SkaarjBerserker firing deadly razor-blades all over.

My initial experience with ut99 (been playing it since it was first released) largely involved a mutator called Monster Madness which I loved as it put monsters into the game that could score and potentially win; MonsterHunt didn't exist yet at that point. Which is why I enjoy GorGor's Unreal Tournament Deathmatch Monster (UTDM) creations as they're kinda sorta big bots in monster form and can win games if you're not careful...

...and I've largely been using my fixes/censors of Pornstar's edits to give the Unreal Tournament Deathmatch SkaarjBerserker a place to roam.

Well sure, when you put it like that it seems horrible.

So that map I left in the assessment thread... you building a train for it?

[Nelsona]

I have a version which needs well checked and intensively tested...
It was looking like it worked like a charm until I discovered some "rat holes" having paths and messing up Bots - Lol XC paths. I moved nodes, paths seem navigable in big parts but I want more details in "game reality". I think I will still want some "cleanups" done manually. I started a game as player too, map is not very big, so many paths in such a map are just an Engine spam with no purpose. If I'm looking at combos definitely somebody had no damn clue about pathing - that was Editor's automated craps not user type nodes. I deleted ALL of them and rotated PlayerStarts from facing nearby walls (some arena mutators might be damaging).

[evilgrins]

When you get a map you open it in UnrealEd to check it out, I check them out by having bots take a run on the map.

As far as that went, they seemed to play it okay.

Don't need a fix for this... but I do have other stuff that does.

Though I've been holding back since I sent you that last edit that has empty train tracks. Are you working on that, oh lover of trains that you are?

[Nelsona]

It needs MORE than a fix. Paths messing through walls and 2990+ reachspecs for a stupid cubing spree it's not an UE1 related work... + extra unseen reachSpecs just for being loaded.
Take a look at this...

This is my game not that overcrowded for no purpose. Quality is before quantity, this is my way.
