In-game description:
--------------------
A Maian craft en route to Training Facility 27, a.k.a. The Temple, disappeared from sensors some time last night. I need you to find the ship, render aid to the survivor, and investigate the cause of the crash.
There have been rumors of Skedar activity in the region, so be careful.
Carrington out.
1.0 Notes:
--------------
This is the classic N64 map updated for UT2004. Made with DM, team games and invasion in mind. This map was a long time coming, I worked on it very sporadically, learning much about map making in the process. My main goals were to make a playable and good-looking remake of one of my favorite maps, the multiplayer Temple from Perfect Dark and GoldenEye 007. I worked extensively on bot pathing (I'd say that nearly half of the build time was working on troubleshooting and improving the AI) so you should get a great game both online and off. I also made custom textures, which you are free to reuse. I hope you enjoy this map, and if you would like to modify it for some reason, go ahead, but make sure you include this readme and try to get into contact with me first, explaining what you're changing.
1.0 Changes
--------------
Additional trim added, based on the original PD version. 50 shield near secret room moved to corner of shock rifle room; 25 healths added to main chamber and the overlook. Fixed problem with ammo spawning under terrain in shock room when using weapon replacement mutators. Added Egypt + Aztec as an additional music choice.
RC1 Notes
--------------
Just a quick test version before the final release.
RC1 Changes
--------------
Added a new secret room near the bio, door activates by shooting it. Door uses sounds sampled from Perfect Dark.
Super shield has been replaced with a wildcard base, which can have the Supershield (usually), 25 or 50 adren, or the DD. Secret room usually has a DD, or can be 25 or 50 adren, or a super health.
Added a few more health pickups and one more 50 shield.
Redeemer moved to exterior wall, classic sniper and hidden weapon locker removed. Weapons in the four outlying rooms were shuffled around again.
Removed old zone portals and rezoned the map from scratch.
Added ladder to ledge overlooking the chamber of pillars, reduced usable area of ledge to prevent abuse in TAM. If this area is still an issue, contact me and I'll make a version with the area blocked off.
Fixed a few minor pathing issues with translocators enabled.
Redid trim textures so they are easier to align.
Beta 2 Notes
--------------
I think the map is pretty much finished at this point, but I could use some feedback on the following: Weapon and pickup layout; lighting; possible exploits; and possible build errors. Please contact me in the forum thread at either Epic (http://forums.epicgames.com/showthread.php?p=26474350) or Beyond Unreal (http://forums.beyondunreal.com/showthread.php?t=186119).
Beta 2 Changes
--------------
Rescaled the map down to 75%.
Enhanced the look of the crash site.
Added decorations throughout the level.
Fixed some misaligned textures.
New custom textures based on the original Perfect Dark textures.
Reworked most of the terrain, added new terrain in appropriate locations.
Several sections of the map are newly accessible, and sniper-friendly.
Lots of work on bot pathing. Bots will translocate and jump anywhere you can go.
Better optimization.
Numerous changes to weapon locations and pickups.
Worked on lighting.
Rebuilt bsp on eastern side to better reflect the N64 version and fix a minor alignment issue.
Recolored many static mesh textures.
Beta 1 Notes
--------------
This is my first publicly released map, built from scratch. Well, almost from scratch. I started out with the goal of fixing Stigmat's rough Temple beta made back in 2004. (http://utforums.epcgames.com/showthread.php?t=363288)
I soon realized that the bsp blocks were sized somewhat randomly, which caused numerous bsp holes (halls of mirrors) throughout the map. I rebuilt all of the bsp piece by piece, keeping the general scale, but also referencing both the GoldenEye and Perfect Dark versions of the map every so often. After rebuilding all the bsp, the map sat unmodified for several months. After that long break, I came back and worked on pickup placement, lighting and decoration. I also reviewed the N64 games again for to compare layout and lighting. Toward the end of development I decided to move the crashed ufo (which had previously been an easter egg) into the main chamber. I did this to add cover (via debris) and an additional light source in the (very flat and dark) main chamber. I also wanted to expand the map a bit, but keep any changes consistent with the mythos of the game.
The layout isn't 100% faithful, but pretty close. The scale is larger than the N64 games to accommodate UT2004 movement. I considered adding the moving pillar/doors but I felt the game flow in ut2k4 was better without them. However, I may add them at a later date if there is demand for it.
P.S. There are a couple of Temple remakes with moving doors: http://unrealtournament2004.filefront.com/file/007Temple;37261
