WAR-Primeval SE Beta3 - Need some feedback

[KurlonT]

So when do we get to see Primeval with 64 players....

[Slaughter]

If Cain promises to show up, I'll set the server up for 64 players and only Primeval.

[Cain]

UT3 does 64 players now !?!?!?!?

SWEET !!

Yes, Epic did up the limit to 64 players in the last patch.

I've been bored at my job lately, and am looking for a side project to do in my off time.

If this is the kind of thing that gets the "interest" back at Cain's....name a favorite ONS map and i'll work on a remake.

Sure...remake of ONS-Adara would be cool for the PC/PS3.

We'll be testing this map tonight. Approx 9:00pm EST (GMT-5).

Hey KurlonT. I have your response from yesterday at UT.PS3 (which is now gone).
This is what I have:
1. Linksetup selection works.
2. UI Mappicture didn't work.

3. North Manta Node heavy foliage boundry still causes major lag when going through them.
4. The necris cauldron causes major lag when next to it.
5. DarkWalker can climb on the cauldron then up the lower side of the middle tree boundry and fire at the blue base w/ primary weapon.
6. Trees and foliage directly in front of the red Orb Spawner causes some lag.
7. North Cauldron weapon locker glow effect still shows when approaching its location on the three node variants.
8. Trees blocking approach to the Manta Nodes (variants that do have this feature) causes major lag when passing by them.
9. You can get stuck behind a spot directly behind the necris cauldron on the red side.
10. Suggestion: Add some grasses to the base of the light poles.
11. Suggestion: Make the fallen tree logs (blue side) more angled towards the center node so you can use it for hoverboard jumps and mirror it on red side (I know it's a break from the original layout but that didn't have hoverboards).
12. Suggestion: Orb Spawner should be in the default Node layout for the PS3.
13. Suggestion: Replace the Manta with either a Scorpion or Scanvenger until the missing texture bug on the primary fire is fixed (for the PS3 version).
14. Suggestion: Make one of the 3 node variants spawn a Paladin at the center Node like the old ECE version.
15. Suggestion: Replace the Darkwalker with Paladin or Golaith until the missing texture bug on the gunner primary fire is fixed (for PS3 version).

1. Apparently I am the first person to get linksetup selection working for custom maps? I have a hard time believing no one else could do it. So all Warfare maps to date just have a the default linksetup? Maybe I should post a tutorial at Epic.

2. This requires the map to be frontend loaded. The UDN doc is sketchy at best. I'll take another stab at it in RC2. Know of anyone else that has it working?

[Nomadicus]

Anyone that wants to test the PS3 version of RC1 please do. I need the feedback. Thanks.

Here is the link to both versions:

The usual method was to release the default setup as one userdata.jam file then do a necris version as another userdata.jam file. I've never seen both released under one file in any custom Warfare map cooked for the PS3. IMO as long as there's a orb and necris version most PS3 users will be happy with just that much since we have no option to d/l from the server.

BTW I'm sure a tutorial would help a ton for those cooking Warfare maps.

how does 64/64 play ???

how does 64/64 play ???

If it was running on Cain's......it'd be like butter!

[Slaughter]

how does 64/64 play ???

I have no idea. LOL. I'd suspect it's probably a bit buggy since it's a new "feature". We'd need a bunch of CLRs and other friends to test it out, but what the hell; I'm game.

how does 64/64 play ???

I have been playing on a 64p server for about month. I have never seen it get up to 64, but have played many matches with 50+. I would have to say 70% of the time it runs stable for me. It did however become very unplayable last weekend, and now i see only 5 maps running, bummer.

Its crazy insane fun. You think 32p on Primeval was nuts. Try 50+ on Sinkhole, or Tankcrossing.

[SPECTRE]

Sure...remake of ONS-Adara would be cool for the PC/PS3.

I should also mention that I don't have the time or skills (yet) to make custom content. I would use only stock models and textures. That map is loaded with custom rock meshes. It would be cool to play that one in UT3 though.\

Any other ideas?



BTW....DLing Primeval for PC now. Looks Great!
