The Techniques of the Dev Team !

We have added a totally new Tutorial area to the website !


NulL has shared some of his extensive knowledge of level design with several tutorials from simple spawn creation to more complex entities like spawn doors.

We have also included 3D modeling tutorials to show how we create content like player models and weapons due to popular request. Some of these will aid the creators of map objects.

Expect more tutorials to follow.

If you are new to level design or interested in making maps for Urban Terror (4.x) you may also want to visit our Map Design & Modeling forum.

Frozen Sand expects you to be responsible and respect copyrights !

Frozen Sand is happy to announce that both Asche and Holblin have agreed to join the team !


Frozen Sand is always on the look out for talented coders and level designers with the right attitude towards the game and we feel that with Holblin and Asche we got lucky again.

The Day the Earth Stood Still

It is a great pleasure to announce that FrozenSand has added a new mapper to the development team, please all welcome Clatoo !

In the passed two years Clatoo created five maps for Urban Terror; CrystalPower, Heroic, Maximus, Metropolis, and Paris.

You can find them via our map depots list

Professionally Clatoo is a experienced publisher, and he works with software such as Photoshop, Illustrator, Xpress, Indesign, Flash, Director, etc.

When he added MacRadiant 1.4, a few years ago, he had very little experience with 3D software and had just discovered the Urban Terror game. Which is lucky for us !

At first, Clatoo will try to add special effects to the Urban Terror HD version of the maps Paris & Heroic, before starting new maps optimised for the engine.

Please feel free to comment here, maybe you can guess what inspired him to choose Clatoo as nick.
