So I found this obscure UT99 video featuring a map that looks similar to DM-Nicktest.

It's probably just a remake considering that the video was published July 21, 2015, but it was still kinda weird to find. I didn't notice until probably around 2:42.
Also, this is the youtuber's avatar, which is actually stranger and probably more worthy of mention, now that I think about it.

I kinda like Mac's description of it on steam chat.

Bad news: It turns out that Michiel and apparently Alexander Brandon won't be working on the music for UT4.
[quote]==========
Hi Josh,
We haven't contributed and won't be contributing to the new UT. I barely get by as it is and I'm simply not giving my music away for free, especially not to a huge company like Epic.
My ideas for Unatco are not a simple remix. I'm only taking very specific bits of the original and turning it into a 10-15 minute suite. Also, the Kickstarter project is only partially a remix thing, a lot of it will be new music.
Cheers,
Michiel

Oh well.
That's too bad. Is that confirmed though? Also only 1 response...thought that would get a bigger reaction on the forums.
Does anyone know if the rest of guys that are officially on the UT4 team are getting paid? If that's the case, then it would have been possible for Michiel to get accepted onto the team and get paid for his work.

Honestly it looks like Epic want to support music for the game as "community contributions", which is really kind of lame, Though the community has cooked up some pretty great tracks thus far. I imagine if we were to ever get any tracks from the original composers at this point wed have to have someone pay them to do music for their own, original project for UT. That, or maybe we can get some people to convince epic to do a crowdfunding campaign for extra funding to do things like this, but i dont know if thats the best idea.
You know, it's weird that neither Michiel Van Den Bos or Alexander Brandon had mentioned that they decided that they weren't going to be making music for UT4 besides that email that Michiel sent to that one guy supposably as a reply to said guy's question. Like, not on the UT forums or Facebook, I don't think. It kinda makes me wonder how long ago they actually decided against doing music for UT4.
Man, with Filefront down that's a lot of skins, mutators and mods altogether that are gone from the net now. I've been having a hell of a time dicking around with UT2k4 again.

Fuck.
Well, I better not somehow lose the UT99 maps that I have now, because I'm pretty sure that's the site where I got most of them.
There's [URL="http://www.ut-files.com/"]ut-files[/URL] which has alot, if not all of skins, maps and other stuff. Don't forget UTZone and Mapraider.
Aberiu has [URL="https://forums.unrealtournament.com/showthread.php?21448-Relics-and-Rayguns"]begun working on a mod similar to ballistic weapons[/URL], a pretty popular UT2k4 mod.
Additionally, the next build of UT4 coming out relatively soon will contain a new map called Plaza. They didnt show anything off of it, they just stated the name and the gamemode (deathmatch) for sure. But they seemed to imply that it was already fully meshed out.
They also showed off some DM-Chill concept art by gooba which looked pretty cool.

Oh fuck, this should be good.
Can't wait to see what kind of art assets they have for it.
oh right, this is Gooba's concept for DM-Chill

Looks like I heard what gamemode the new map was wrong when I was watching it. Sorry!
Map looks sick though.

Not anymore! :downs:

About damn time, I don't know how many times I have to fight bot teammate AI on reaching power-ups first.
So Alexander Brandon came into the thread where Michiel Van Den Bos introduced himself to clarify some things about him and Michiel not doing music for UT4.
[quote]Greetings everyone,
It's easy to get confused if communication doesn't take place. So to clarify, Michiel and I wrote a revised title theme and submitted it. Whether it is in, I'm not sure. But we won't be providing additional music. This isn't because we don't want to, or that we demand unreasonable things, or that our "time is gone" (both of us have written quite a bit of music since, just not for UT, and things just change, it's the way of this and other industries... Alexander Courage was the original composer for Star Trek but half a dozen composers have taken on Star Trek scores since then). It's because this is a community built game, and compensation to us wouldn't be fair to the other community composers. I totally understand this, Michiel understands this, Epic understands it. And yes, the difference between the community writers and us is that this is our living and how we pay our bills.
Having said that I can't lie: it's a huge, huge bummer. But we understand and accept the rationale and look forward to playing the great new content being developed by a new breed of developer, and hope you continue to listen to our tunes, as we will never stop writing!
-Alex[/quote]
So I guess it did have more to do with the fact that the game is an open alpha where people can contribute to it but not get paid.
I had asked him in the thread if he and Michiel were ever hired by Epic or not, and he confirmed that they indeed weren't hired on to the team, so we know that now.
Is anyone else experiencing a problem with UT4 where the game crashed within 2 to 5 minutes into a match?
It's not exactly UT related, but I found this piece of music that CapsAdmin made. It sounds pretty Alexander Brandon-esque.

I finally stopped procrastinating on the UT99-styled Gooba's Lauren model and got started on the texturing. Here's what I got for the face so far.

So apparently that [url=https://forums.epicgames.com/threads/572646-Unreal-1-game]Unreal 1 gamemode mod[/url] for UT2k4 comes with a Doom weapon and monster pack, but for some reason both that and its own Unreal 1 weapons don't show up on WORM or mutator lists or anything, as if they don't exist. Anyone got any advice?
I went ahead and fixed the faint lighting at school, so it should look a lot better despite being greyscale. I can always put on a gradient map later.

I should probably install GIMP at some point.

UB and DoomPawns2k4 should work out of the box, I don't remember if they have replacement mutators but if WoRM can't pick them up then maybe something went wrong. I can't think of anything that would fix the problem besides downloading the system files again and replacing the files.
Anyway, if you want more content I got hundreds of mod files, some COOP stuff on my dropbox, and I can show you my redirect so you can pick some independent files you might want (I have a version of U1Pawns and PlaceableWeps that's more recent than the one that you can get from the mod's thread).
I don't think they do have replacement mutators, trying the redownload but I doubt it'll change things
[QUOTE=RikohZX;49172570]I don't think they do have replacement mutators, trying the redownload but I doubt it'll change things[/QUOTE]
Come to think of it, I think the reason the weapons aren't being picked up is because they lack a .ucl file with a list of entries beginning with "Weapon=" which contain weapon classes, names, descriptions and all. I might be wrong but you might be able to make the weapons work with WoRM by creating a .ucl file with weapon entries containing at least all the fields but the fallback description. Alternatively you might be able to force UCC to create a proper .ucl file.

If they don't have replacers you can get something like Remut (part of nomut) and manually enter the classnames in the .ini as replacements. I had to use that method to replace weapons in the Unreal 1 campaign with my own mod's
