U need to Get UT v436 

NEWS & SOME CURRENT STUFF :-

The old goddamn fugly site logo just wont go. Great now I'll have to delete all the images and upload them again. **** {:-{.

25th FEBRUARY 2001 - Err... new site logo

Its the best I can do. I've also joined the Unrealism.com staff as a newsie. Most everyone has abandoned U.com like rats leaving a sinking ship. But together with LkNegative of Mapster I hope we can keep this site afloat. And to all those who left us ....... shame on you :(. That's all for now folks.

25th FEBRUARY 2001 - I'M NOT DEAD ......... YET

I'm just writing this to say that I'm not dead. I was locked out of my site until today and life has just been busy. I just updated the 2d Editor tutorial with some information. Besides this there really is nothing much to do but sit back and wait for Unreal 2 sometime after the end of May, UT editing is dead. And oh yeah this fugly site design has gotta to go :).

NEW TUTORIALS :- Just a quick update. These tutorials have sat on my hard drive for a long long time ( 2 months to be precise :D) and I haven't bothered to upload them, since I already wrote them might as well publish them:-

• Texture Effects - Show's you how to take some base textures and make some cool effects with them like ripples and stuff like that.

• Fog - This one shows you how to set volumetric lighting and apply fog effects to a level. You need to set some different setting in UT to get fog to show up.

5 HELP FILES :- Geocities deleted the help files. Bloody m0's :p. I got myself a folder on www.3ddownloads.com. You can get them here :-

To get the latest version go to www.planetunreal.com/tarquin . ( NOTE - ALL DOCUMENTATION AND STUFF IS AT THIS SITE) Here are the links :-
http://www.3ddownloads.com/?directory=/unrealism/unrealedmax/

UT Legacy - Yeah a new site near the death of the UT editing community. The site is being run by Protonic and the guy contacted me for help. As some of you know I've been threatening to shut this site down for some time now. My Real Life™ is really screwed and I couldn't help out. If anyone is interested please check his site out. Its looking good. Sorry Protonic :(.

Thanks to KungFu at Unrealism.com for the help in getting the downloads section up :). Bye for now I hope I will be around to make another update :(.

TO DO PERSONAL STUFF:- 

• Submit my 2 maps for review at Mapped, Chainsaw, Headshot or one of the others. I just know that if I don't submit them now they will never see the light of day - I spent close to 8 months (or thereabouts) on both these maps. I know they suck I don't care how badly they suck but these babies have to see the light of day - I don't even care if they get a 40% review score.  

Holy Hell!!! :). What the hell  am I doing here with updates and NEW TUTORIALS to boot!. Here's a brief list and news:-

• MULTI SKINS - Assign different skins to existing decorations to make them look different and how multi-skins work. [Warning: Short On info with big screenshots :P]

• General Editing Tips - Part II - Yup!. Part II is finally here. I discuss how to make directional skyboxes, Bot AI handling of irregular movers and some nice display properties settings.

• MyLevel And Level Properties - Two people specifically asked me to write this one. So here it is.

• TRIGGERS - A small trigger tutorial covering the basics. Forgot to make one in the beginning of the launch of the site. Read Here.

• French UED2 Introduction - Not mine so sue me for lying :p to you. If you're French and r struggling to understand this head to http://unrealed.free.fr to read the the translated version of my tutorial. Thanks to Mat Slade.

• 2DShapes.zip - This link in the 2deditor tutorial was broken. I updated the file. There are something like 150 'rock-solid-god-knows-what-the-hells-in-there' shapes.

• Intro Update - I have received a lot of e-mail complaint's saying I hadn't explained exactly how to rotate brushes in this tutorial {:(. Well it was so long I missed something. Well fixed it now :).

• Free Modeler - Amapi3d- If you are looking for a free easy to use modeler give Amapi3d a shot - it fits the bill perfectly. You can get it here - www.tgs.com/amapi

• Passed the modest 10,000 hits mark last week - didn't expect to garner half as much traffic :D.

• CTF-Quetzalcoatl Screenies - More screenies of the map which is finally in Beta testing :-
  
  
   

I guess you have all heard about the launch of the Unreal Developers Network - if you haven't shame on you ;). Head there to get a very very comprehensive and helpful list of keyboard shortcuts :- http://udn.epicgames.com.

Enjoy your stay on UnrealEdMax. Ciao and Peace To All :).

Quick make like Dracula ;). Back from the dead for a few moments. Some better screenies of CTF-Shijjden, updated that page thoroughly:-

And probably the last help file download you'll see here:-

• The Semi-Solid Brush

Now back to my coffin after these few moments of blissful sunshine. Its a cold, dank and dark place .... but its where I live and make like I am alive when I am actually dead :(. Ciao once again.

A look at the latest happenings here on UnrealEdMax:

• New Tutorial OR Update:- General Editing Tips - As most of u have noticed this was previously broken. I fixed it .... finally. I also updated it with a tutorial subsection on "HOW TO ORDER THE COMPILING PROCESS" ........... and some miscellaneous junk :). You can read it here.

• Russian Tutorials: Work on some of my tutorials being translated to Russian have been completed and can be read here - http://editor.unreal.ru. Thanx to Tyoma!

• E-Mail : Sorry to those of you who have emailed me and not received a reply. Keep it coming and I will try to answer meantime head to the Infrogrames Forums if you have any doubts. This is by far the best forum around with some really really helpful people. And if I receive just one more email asking where to get UED2 I'll scream - which is why I had to add the link on the left :).

• DOWNLOAD SECTION UP: The download section is finally up!!!!!!!!. There are 5 new help files in here (just help file compilation of the tutorials already available online). The list:

  • 2d Editor Help File

  • UnrealEd2 Intro Help File

  • Movers Help File

  • Vertex Editing And Terrain Help File

  • SkyBox Help File

  Besides this I have put a link in there to 3 of the best UnrealEd2 utilities (thanx to Fordy's Unreal). Not much else here. In the next update if ever there is one, I will try to put up a single download of every tutorial in its own help file - but  DON'T EMAIL ME ASKING FOR THIS it may or may not happen.

• MY Maps Section Goes Live: With 15 screenshots!.

• CTF-Shijjden: I showed these screen shots to someone the other day and was told they sucked big time :(. Hmmmmm......... Here's a look at a few screenshots of my current map that I am working on anyway. You can see them here www.unrealism.com/unrealedmax/mymaps2.shtml Going OK, according to me!!!!.

• CTF-Quetzalcoatl - Unnamed Project - Another map that I am currently working on. It does not look like I can finish this stuff. Goddamn it all to hell!!!!!!!!!!!!! :(  :(  :(. And oh yes for all you smart alecs out there I do know that Quetzalocatl is an Aztec god (now what do you wanna do give me a goddamn history lesson ;). This map is not even half-way finished by the way. Look at the pictures here - www.unrealism.com/unrealedmax/mymaps1.shtml.

• UnrealEdMax Is on its Deathbed: YES!!!!!. It does not look like I can keep updating UnrealEdMax. I wont even be able to map for Unreal Tournament anymore. PriceWaterhouseCoopers or KPMG will claim me and I cant even take my sys. with me. It could all change if I get back to college .......... that's a big if!!!!!!!!!!. :( :( :(. Ciao Till Then (if ever!).

• General Editing Tips - Remade an old tutorial (Speed Busters) - on how to order the compile process, speed busting techniques, etc. [NOTE  PREVIOUSLY BROKEN - FIXED ON JUNE1]

• First off, any and all mapping utilities that you will find listed on all my pages are all links thanks to Fordy's Unreal located at PU. And its the first site to be on UEDMax's buddy list :). Cheers to Andy Ford!.

• French Tutorials: Mat123@aol.com is translating some of my tutorials into French. For this and more stuff head on down to:
  http://unrealed.free.fr
  This is going into the buddy list.

• UNREALTED BULL**** (IGNORE :) : Noticed something really cool on the 2 most happening search engines on the web - Google.com and Yahoo.com. UnrealEdMax is the first site listed and tops out at both of them for a search on "unrealed2 tutorials" or anything UnrealEd based. I don't know what I put in those deadly Meta tags (no I don't believe in spamming just check my source buddy :) but I just love 'em. Well not that you care a two bit about that ;).

• On another note 32_Pistoletta (forgot his email add) is doing a translation of some of my tutorials (not all ) that will be put up on his site. So if know anyone in need of tutorials in Russian they know where to head.

Behind the scenes UnrealEdMax updates, have taken place, here's a brief rundown:

• Renamed Site: The site has been renamed to UnrealEdMax - supposedly to help you push Unreal Editor 2 to the maximum possible limits. The old name was too corny for words and I seem to have realized that only now he, he ;).

• New Site Look and Feel: I've been told the previous look sucked so much by so many people just to stop them I had to change the look. The two websites that have featured this site on their news web page have complained that the site is very hard on the eyes. Finally fixed it to my liking (and hopefully yours :). The only down side is now you cant print the damn tutorials - and anyway I feel its better to work with offline content than to print the stuff out.

• No new big tutorials out yet - 2 are still a work in progress. One small one read it here:

  • Speed Busters - PART I - Make your levels run faster.

And thanks to Zero again for being such a great help. And thanks to Fordy's Unreal, which really provided the catalyst that forced me to change the look of the site :).

Whew!!!. Finally a good hosting site. Thanks to Unrealism.com for hosting me. And special thanks goes out to Zero for answering all the questions that I put his way regarding my hosting problems.

Oh and I am proud to say that this site got mentioned on the news item at Wolf's Unreal - one of the mainstays of the community and a must visit site for any one in the Unreal Engine editing community.

NEW TUTORIAL - Vertex+Terrain:
I have uploaded a new tutorial aimed squarely at the intermediate level editors. It explains the basics of Vertex Editing and how to make great Outdoor Terrain using UnrealEd 2.0 itself!. Catch the action Here. 

NEW TUTORIAL: CLIPPING: Another new UnrealEd2 (UT v436) based tutorial, explaining how to do 3d and 2d clipping. Read it here.
