CTF-Hall Of Giants 2004

By Will ""ZedMaestro"" Zeal

ZedMaestro's 1st Map for UT2003/UT2004

Programs used by me: UnrealEd3

Programs used by map assisters: 3DSMax, Photoshop 7

Map SummaryInfo:

""The Hall Of Giants is now open to the Tournament again after being closed for

some time for renovation. Only a few relatively minor modifications have been

made to the structure, which has been widely acclaimed due to its uniqueness

over other CTF maps. Features of the Hall include its extreme height, its

complete low-gravity environment, its intense lighting, its peculiar speed

tubes, and its huge variety of tactical approaches to victory. Its one thing

getting the enemy flag, its another thing getting it to yours...""

Map Info:

Textures: Almost every one of them new, though they were all imports from

Unreal Tournament G.o.t.Y. Edition CD2.

Static Meshes: Ramps and ledges, although these are actually properly

converted BSP brushes in 3DSMax by Bonehed316.

New Sounds: Two, again imported from Unreal Tournament.

New Scripts: Two brand new actors, a BotUTJumpPad. Works exactly like a normal

UTJumpPad but only affects bots. Written by me though instructed by Blitz.

These replaced the other new actor a BotKicker, a kicker that only kicked

bots, which was coded by AngelMapper.

New Music: The original music from Unreal Tournament's CTF-HallOfGiants,

Nether, converted to .ogg format by someone.

Authors Notes:

Thanks for getting CTF-Hall of Giants 2004. Firstly, to be honest, almost the

whole map is a direct port from UEd2 to UEd3. I only added the extra narrow

ramps. Secondly, in a way I didnt built the geometry of the map, really

Bonehed316 did since he very kindly helped by converting most of the BSP

geometry into Static Meshes and Blocking Volumes. The map has taken far too long

to make actually, well over 6 months now. This is partly because it is my first

every map so I was learning all the time, it is partly due to all the school

coursework and exams I've been doing (I'm only 17), and also it is because it

has been a very difficult map to get right. The bot pathing was made difficult

by the speed tubes and because of the option of switching from one ramp to

another. Overall since the start the map has been completely retextured 4 times,

has been completely relit 3 times, and completely repathed 4 times. However, its

done now I think. If there are any bugs you find, please post about them on the

Atari Forums in the CTF-Hall of Giants 2004 thread that I will make.

Known Bugs:

1. For no apparent reason bots do sometimes when they are respawning after a

translocation. They will constantly translocate on the same spot until some

kind of ""intervention"" is made by someone or something.

2. Also for no apparent reason the sounds that play when you enter and exit the

speed tubes do not always play. No one I've asked can explain this. When they

do play they are clearly audiable.

3. Yet again, for no apparent reason, when you exit the speed tubes, there is a

very tiny possibility that you may be thrown higher up above the map than

normal. However, this did sometimes happen in the original, but either way I

still dont know why.

Once again, thank you for getting CTF-Hall Of Giants 2004.
