ok, now, this is going to far from PD mapping :P. A guy from our GE mod sent me a small map he did on ut2004 with a corkscrew (for vehicles) , I tested it and told him that with more stuff/textured and so it would be WAY better, I started, and didn't stop to get imagination :) look the result for right now:

[JasonXT]

Whoa, I would love to try that out.

[NeoNight]

hmm looks to dark to me I can tell there is long stretching road but its dark.

[Viper_Viper]

OMG, HOW ARE YOU DOING THIS?!?!

I have been trying like nuts to even come close to what you are doing in these games, and failing quite horibly. I think i figured out what im doing wrong. Ill check back later!

Ps great work

[Knuckles]

well, I'm out of PD again! (damnit :P)

Here's an Idea I got today, a GTA Based City on UT2k4! I'm using most of the GTA3/GTA:VC textures, to bring the "feeling" of GTA in.

The Pay 'n Spray is one of the thing that I really took from the original game (that's the one in GTA:VC :P)

there's some shots:

distraction, distraction.... ;)

[Modem]

That'd be sweet. Since the map in VC is so big, perhaps, if you're going to be playing with it, you could just devide it (the city) into sections for different maps? Don't know anything about mapping, just seeing what's up, and anctiously awaiting the mario 64 map. :D

It's good that you're not only doing PD stuff though, you'd get bored of that :P

[PadTheMad]

Just read the GTA3 > UT2K4 map died an I hope this doesn't happen to yours Knux, not that it should as you're building a brand new map from scratch and not converting an entire city. Besides this one should play better as it was designed for the game it's gonig to be played on :P

You know what'd be a good idea though, if we could have a progress report on all your maps (mentioned on this forum) and project (PD not Project Goldeneye) or would that be too much to ask?

[Knuckles]

Been working and playing with a friend on that and it's a load of fun :)

more screenshots, in progress order :

EDIT: Blame Martin ( http://www.emutalk.net/showthread.php?p=233612#post233612 ) For the site/downloads to be down, within a part of the screenshots and so.

[sethdonut]

How large do you plan on making that map O_o;

[Knuckles]

I'll try to use the whole available area I can ;)

Of course there will be "beta" releases of parts of the city, so no one will be waiting forever for the map to be done so they can play ;)

I'm going to add more now!

[SuperChicken]

Hey knuckles I send you an email but I just decided to post on the forum instead. Could I use your textures or could you make me a set to use for the complex map I am making for counter-strike??

I tried playing the complex map on unreal 2k3 but it didn't work for some reason. Anyway... I'll post some pics once i get further done in the map (only have pillar room and a few others next to it.

The complex in CS would rule. Then when CS: Source is out, you can convert it to that ;) Come on Knux, help out this dude! :P

[Knuckles]

the Complex only works with UT2k4 , and I won't share textures, if you want them, there are video plugins for that .

Here's more news on the "city":
-added more roads (again)
-added a parking lot need the U building
added some GTA3 ads :P

[Knuckles]

mhhhh, no reply this time, anyway, I did more today too.

here are some shots:

[Hexidecimal]

This map is going to rule so hard.

[Bluesummers]

thats gonna be fuckin awsome! playin in a cool city place in ut2k4! looks great man keep up the good work

[Knuckles]

This is a bit related to the mod, Using some gameshark codes on PJ64 and Perfect dark, I found a beta version of the Deep Sea music (sounds really great!) It starts the same way but at 27 seconds, you can notice a little change then after it goes on differently. I recorded it from the emu, so there is some little bug at 2 places (not bad ones ;) ). I will give you a link to download it so for you old Perfect Dark players, it will be like a new original PD music fresh from the game but never heard :) (5MB+ MP3)

I will prolly put it in a map of course ;)

Knuckles I'm going to try and stay away from outright kissing your feet but... YOU RULE.

Could you, by any chance, provide that gameshark code? I can probably re-record it using the real hardware and I'm just looking for loop information so I know where the song loops, unless at the end of the MP3 is where it cuts off/ends?

[Knuckles]

I know a way to record it without having the 2 little bugs but I'm kinda too lazy right now to do it. If you want to code, here for you :

it remplaces the Dark Combat Music (in Combat Simulator) by this one:
80087A70 0079

[Knuckles]

I continued my city map today (damn me, I'm suppposed to work on smth else)

Since I started it back to align everything on the grid, I got bored and I added 1 more thing to the map. What you see that isn't there anymore (that was on olders shots) will be back later, everything I've done will be re-done with some fixes.

Anyway, here are the shots:

[jareg]

Wow Knux that looks cool

Many thanks. By the way, did you find that on a site or did you find it by accident? I looked for PD gameshark codes, but all I found were a lot of the common codes. Nothing like music modifiers and the like ::wants to know if there are any other hidden songs within Perfect Dark::

[Knuckles]

new shots from the city , I finally had redone it fully at the exception of 1 building. I will now be able to concentrate on filling the empty spots on the map. I did a new little building that is the place where I "work" (in the game) :P. There is a tank in the garage but the door opens only with an hidden trigger ;)

EDIT:
For anyone that has GTA3 or GTA:VC + UT2k4, If you want to make a building for the map, just tell me, I'll send you a map(image) of available lots with their size. The building needs to be in low details, no complex meshes nor a lot of them, a building with ~25 meshes it just fine (not in static mesh please).

2 shots:

[Knuckles]

Double update,

1st : the City
*Building aren't at their final locations and you might notice that I added a terrain (not final)*
Top : VC based street, next to water (no water yet)
middle : 1st new building, with a *little* hole in the middle
bottom : twin towers , connected in the middle , road under

http://alpha.emulation64.com/PD2003/new_11.JPG

2nd: Area 52
1st shot : added the middle part, with the slidding windows/door
2nd shot is the latest started place, not finished yet

[sethdonut]

Each update is just feels like getting a good slice of pie to me, much love.

[Knuckles]

I think my GTA-like City is gonna be the night.... it's just looks way better like that (well for me) there are some shots.

the street lights/Traffic Lights are too big right now, gotta resize them but..... later :P

[Viper_Viper]

I think my GTA-like City is gonna be the night....
OOoooo, Me Like. Imagen hiding in the shaddows and jummping out to kill ur pray!

[Hexidecimal]

Awesome Work Knux

[Knuckles]

-fixed Street lights size
-fixed Traffic Lights size
-Added som more lights
-Darker lighting (overall)
-Fun :D

A version will be available when that square place will be filled with buildings , lights, trees, benches, mail boxes, etc. ( I don't add more streets out of that part for now)

[Knuckles]

Double post

overpass done :

[knowitman]

Nice work man. It almost makes me want to get UTK4. I still think the original is the best.

[Razor Blade]

Sweet Knuckles! That looks awesome!

[Knuckles]

First thing, I would like to say thanks to everyone giving comments ;) It really help my motivation

Second thing , new today :
changed streets textures and added better lines
and
The spot on the far right of the map will be a mutli-stories carpark, with an exit on both streets (lower one where are the traffic lights and higher one where is the broken overpass ;))

[jareg]

Looks good man ;)
Bringing GTA a little bit closer to UT2004 :P

[DarthDazDC]

thats really gud, but here's a suggestion, but im not sure if its possible, could there be like hovering traffic lights when yuor flying in the, thing...(i dont know wot the flyin thing is called :P) so it could be an air-way. Also the shots look gr8:D

[sethdonut]

We love the things you do :whistling

[Knuckles]

Update again, small video of the "highway"

see attachment

[christf1982]

Well GTA is good too but I would prefer better Perfect Dark to be released first...

[DarthDazDC]

It's known as the Manta, I do believe.
Nice mapping knuckles :)

[Bluesummers]

awesome job Knux! this map is gonna be the shizznizzle.

[christf1982]

Well I do not want to be too negative but considering the time he is on that project now we are going to be in graves before it is ever released. The goldeneye project will be released way before this and anyways I doubt I will continu playing unreal tournament 2k4 at these times. (maybe ONLY to play the good mods like goldeneye) because there are far better games out there. (Half life 2 will be released soon and doom 3 is a good FPS i think)

[christf1982]

Well if at least you had a team as large as the golden eye team now it would be released faster but alone it is slow like hell and you have more important things to do too.

[GrumblyStuff]

Holy hell is this awesome. I had no idea maps from N64 games could be ported so easily.

Someone needs to tell the Unreal GoKart people (http://www.ataricommunity.com/forums/showthread.php?threadid=426514&perpage=30&pagenumber=1) about this. :happy:

Anyway, fantastic work on the Perfect Dark mod and your work in the Golden Eye mod.

Hmm, anyone else smell a new map pack? N64 Classics? :D

[sethdonut]

"I had no idea maps from N64 games could be ported so easily."

Knuckles put a lot of effort into the maps I'd say, so it's not necessarily a drag-and-drop conversion.

[Knuckles]

stuff like that can be easily done but the results aren't that great, I start all maps for scratch, using no other models them my eyes (most of the time). If it would have been that easy , I'm almost sure most maps would be already released and not only 3 of them.

The maps aren't a "dump" of the N64, it's more like a remake, even if it almost looks identical. Some of them took me time to try to recreate. Just like for the Area 52 where I just ran in a bug that I don't seem to be able to get ride of right now so far.

For those who are wondering, I've been working back on the GE facility to fix some bugs and to finish it for the mod beta release deadline. I will prolly update the PD Felicity at the same time as this bug it fixed (since I used the GE one to do the PD one, I have the same problems in both.

Don't worry, the Felicity will still be the next map to be released.

[Knuckles]

Post here any opinions, bugs or questions you may have about this map :)
