Thanks to Dsx for starting the project and motiviating me
Thanks to RARE for making the original game

To conclude Dsx and I will post regular updates.

what he didn't mention is that GE means GoldenEye
we didn't use that name, as to avoid copyright issues.
progress updates will be posted regularly for those who have an interest.

cool
"released shortly" don't rush it, make sure you check everything with beta testers too!
i'm getting some flashbacks... *dizzy*
good luck! this is quite the ambitious project and you guys seemed to have turned it around quite quickly.

[dsx (old)]

It's quite a big project; we planned for a Christmas release date, but it seems like we're getting through this quite quickly while maintaining map quality.

As soon as we think the map is almost ready for release, we release the Release Candidate, and stop development on that map (someone please tell me how to word that sentence better =P). The RCs are completely playable and we have not found any errors in our rigourous testing process. The final versions of these maps will be released in the map pack after every map from the pack is at the RC stage. Differences from the RC and the final version include added surface sounds and any bugs are ironed out. Advice from professional mappers will also be taken if it is given.

The current RCs can be found at http://dkmaps.opentribes.org/q3ut4/

As of 25/01/2010, completed RCs include:
ut4_gecontrol (12/01/2010)
ut4_gebunker (23/01/2010)

As of 25/01/2010, maps in progress include:
ut4_gefacility
ut4_getemple

Our Website http://dkmaps.opentribes.org is still under construction, but will be done soon.

Enjoy!

When you make a release candidate, could you append rc and its version number to the name, so as to avoid servers having mismatched version of the map due to the names being the same.

Wow dude, those screenshots look NICE! I'm very excited to get these on my GE server. Thanks for the update on your work!

Yep sure.

EDIT: PK3s updated, anyone who has downloaded the maps, please redownload the new versions bearing the "rc" mark.

well... had a little run thru of the 3 maps that you have up... you really did stick to the scale and layouts to convert the original maps over. the thing is that the gameplay is totally different and thus i cant see anything apart from ffa/last man stand being played on the maps cos of narrow corridors, small dead end rooms and doors just wide enough for 1 person. some areas you cant even jump cos it's so tight (especially in bunker).

there is some z-fighting going on like with the blue glass in control and doors in temple.

i distinctly remember there used to be a hole in a wall (i'm not talking about the floor/roof in main room) in temple where i used to launch grenades through, but i cant find it in your map.

the maps (especially temple) look so empty without the ammo boxes and guns. maybe you could put pickups there, extra details wouldnt hurt.

BADASS! I can't wait for somebody to host a 'Golden-Eye Maps Only Server'. That is, if these beautiful maps catch on.

Yas, although I agree with what you are saying, we haven't had the chance to play all the maps yet. Let's wait and see, I would imagine Dam would fit Urban Terror well.
