Unreal Tournament 3 Black

Hey guys, this is really important, considering we are going to be using Unreal Tournament 3's engine for our project.

Starting from now til March 22nd, you can buy UT3 Black for a 40% discount off of the Steam network. Supposedly, this includes the original game, a patch up to 2.0, and some new content, like new maps and characters and such. This brings the price to $11.99, which is certainly a very affordable investment to a program we'll be spending the majority of our project working with.

I can't say 100% whether or not it comes with the Unreal Editor; I can't seem to find a clear answer on Google, but general forum consensus is that if you buy any copy of the actual game, it should include the editor with it (because it basically needs to flip a switch in the editor in order to run). Just don't hate me if it's not included! Heck UnrealEd may even be downloadable online somewhere, I dunno.

If anyone knows for sure if it is included please comment, but other than that if you don't have it this is a prime opportunity to obtain it, but don't forget, the offer ends on Monday. See you guys on Saturday!

Introduction 2

Hello All,

My name is Zain and I am a friend of Adam and Phil. I graduated with Phil from Trinity with a degree in Comp. Sci. and I am now working in Houston as a IT Consultant for Energy Companies/Banks.

I've done some game programming before, and I've also done a bit of modeling/rigging/animation using Blender. As far as UT goes, I made a couple simple mutators back for original UT back in '99, but I have not seen UT3Ed and I'm sure modding the game has become a lot easier now.

Unfortunately, my work schedule keeps me pretty busy and I can promise only a few hours on weekends to working towards this project. But I figured that may be true for many of you all.
Anyway, I look forward to working with the UT SDK and creating a fun mod with you guys.

Introduction

Being as Adam is the one who recruited me and I haven't met most of you yet, I figured it would be a good idea to introduce myself. I'm Phil and I went to Trinity with Adam while he was there, and majored in Computer Science.

Currently I'm a grad student at TAMU working on my PhD in AI. I have a bit of experience with game engine design. I helped program a 3D RTS back in undergrad. Also, when I can pull myself away from SF4 I mess around with Flash and Photoshop.

From what I've heard from Adam and what I've seen of the Unreal SDK, I don't think it will be that difficult to come up with something pretty decent. Right now I'm trying to work up a rough sand box, where we can test the camera and movement settings.

I'm excited to help in what ever way I can.

Speed sketch...


I've shown this to Tony and Adam already, but it's a speed sketch I did for the Hero. Based on discussions of what we liked I kind of came up with this rough sketch. I have some more that I haven't scanned in yet...
