Update (2015-01-14): Updated Lea to version Beta01a. This version works with UE4.6. Please check the changelog below for a list of changes! Hey everyone, just wanted to give you a heads up on a map I'm remaking for UT4. I've included a playable alpha version for testing and feedback. Word of caution, this is very alpha. Things are either broken, or not working correctly. Things are unoptimized, etc. Check it out. :-) This is a remake of a popular UT2004 map called DM-Lea. The original author is H1ghTecM@n^, and I do not take credit for the UT2004 map. I am recreating this map as a tribute to the UT2004 map, but with changes that make the map playable for UT4. As always, I respect original map authors and always give credit for any remakes I make. Changelog: (2015-01-14) (Version Beta01a) (Compatible with UE4.6) Changed armors back to defaults. Finished the textures on a few more meshes. Fixed a few problems. (2015-01-12) (Version 04t) (Compatible with UE4.6) Huge Experimental Changes concerning armors. Changed belt to 100a. Now absorbs only 75% of damage instead of 100%. Added custom static mesh for 100a. Changed vest to 50a. Absorption **unchanged** (75% of damage). Added custom static mesh for 50a. Changed thighpad to 25a. Absorbs 75% of damage instead of 30%. Added custom static mesh for 25a. Changed helmet static mesh to a custom mesh. Helmet values are unchanged. Changed initial spawn times of the thighpad, helmet and vest to 30 seconds. Added more static meshes to the map and more textures. Special thanks to community member "Raste" for redoing the lighting on Lea. This sped up my lighting build quite a bit. (2014-12-27) (Version 04o) (Compatible with UE4.6) Improved the lighting. Hopefully things are better now. (2014-12-22) (Version 04m) (Compatible with UE4.6) Added temporary lighting (the ugly blue lighting that everybody hates including me). (2014-12-21) (Version 04L) (Compatible with UE4.6) Temporary fix for "92 unbuilt objects" error. Added a window above the center helmet. Added more meshes New Post Processing Lighting (Not finished yet) Attempting to add a bit more color to the map with bright glassy parts (Work in progress) Improved a few things, might have broke other things. (2014-11-30) (Version 04h) (Compatible with UE4.6) Epic cooked this version. Same as version 04g, but with lighting fix. (2014-11-30) (Version 04g) (Compatible with UE4.6) Note: Busy month. I haven't had a lot of time to get much done, but I'm still working on the map. Added new ceiling fan and ceiling meshes. Not finished texturing yet. Added new windows and curved windows. Fixed a few collision problems. I still have not addressed certain issues, please be patient. (2014-11-02) (Version Alpha04a) Added more static meshes to the map, improving visual detail. Improved textures on the windows. A lot of things concerning blueprints, that doesn't matter to the average player, but matters to me as a map maker. This took the bulk of my time. Added slanted walls in some places. Slightly relocated a jump pad to make it possible to slide up a sloped wall (near belt). Added another helmet near belt to help reduce spawn killing, by allowing a spawning player to pick up 20armor and have headshot resistance. Will add more information later. (2014-10-09) (Version Alpha03c) Music (Thanks nonemm!) Windows (Not Finished yet) Custom Lifts (Not Finished yet) Custom Lifts light up when in use. Emissive Materials on trims (Not Finished yet) Improved the shock rifle area Improved the lift area near sniper Added a new ramp near the lift near sniper. Added a temporary wall material to all of the checkerboard walls (2014-09-20) (Version Alpha02q) FIRST RELEASE Game Version Tested & Works: UnrealTournament-Client-XAN-2318482-Win64 (As of 2014-10-09 - Lea Version Alpha03c) Installation Instructions for playing the map in UT4: Extract the zip file to this directory: ..\WindowsNoEditor\UnrealTournament\Content\Paks Description: A remake of the popular UT2004 / UT3 map called DM-Lea. This version is based off the UT3 version of Lea, which I created in 2010. The UT3 version was based off of the UT2004 version of Lea, which was created by someone else. This version aims to be a completely different looking map, with very sci fi, somewhat reflective metals to take advantage of UE4’s new features, and also to test my abilities to create a great looking map that also has great gameplay. Derivative Works: Please do not make any derivative works of this project until it has been officially released as a final, stable, non alpha or beta version. I usually encourage anyone to make derivative versions, but please, do not do so until this project is finished. Thanks. :-) Disclaimer: This version is not built specifically to cater to UT2004 players, nor UT3 players. I’m attempting to satisfy both audiences, and create something new for UT4. If you have some constructive criticism, please voice your opinions below in a civil manner for the best reception. :-) Goals for this version: Eliminate certain sight lines that could bias the map towards being overly spawn killy, or hitscan dominated. Improve certain rooms like the stinger room, or the bottom center of the map, to enhance gameplay. Scale the map slightly smaller than the UT2004 version, and bigger than the UT3 version of Lea. Find a good balance to fit UT4’s gameplay. Add slopes/ramps for dodging, and add an interesting garage door to take advantage of dodge rolling. Also, take advantage of multidodge in some areas. Known Issues: Filesize at the moment is HUGE and will only get bigger in subsequent versions. I will optimize texture sizes later to try to reduce filesize. The map colors, and textures are *NOT* final and are subject to change. FIXED - Rockets get stuck in blocking volumes. Quite hilarious honestly. FIXED - The lifts are a little bit buggy, need some tweaking. Untested in multiplayer, not sure if working in MP. Working on it - Static meshes have not been optimized. There may be performance issues until later. FIXED - Layout needs some improvement in some areas (Shock area, Rocket area, etc). The area directly below belt seems a little crampt. Might need to add a little extra vertical height for the middle section of that area. The doorways near shock rifle have messed up materials. Brightness issues. I need to fix those. Todo List (Plans): COMPLETE Implement custom music from Nonemm (Thanks!) Continue creating custom static meshes, and custom textures. Improve the look of the map until it looks fantastic, and also have an acceptable gameplay:system performance ratio. Seek feedback from community on things. Remember, not all ideas will be accepted, but will be heard and considered. Come up with a good color scheme. Take long and healthy breaks. xD Music: Community Member nonemm from #beyondunreal IRC channel on global gamers was kind enough to make custom music for my map! It sounds really great.
