Tips:

Watch your lights. They are trippy and like to leave the map in darkness unless you know what you are doing. I'd peruse that part of the tutorials well.

Those are the ones i used for Unreal Tournament 3, but some things are the same for the 04 editor, and some are different.

I remember when I made Wizard for UT because I wanted a Wizard map to go with the HaloUT mod. I also modified one of those many Bloodgulch maps to more closely match the real on in textures...hmmm, good times.

Well a few things happened while following the tutorials.
1. I don't seem to have the same textures as the guy does for his maps.
2. This happened when I loaded up UnrealEditor just now:


Anyone know what's up with that?

e: Also, does anyone know how to create maps using 3ds max, and importing them into UnrealEd. Because i'm way better with 3ds max than UnrealEd :/

#1 -- Issue 1 -- http://www.modacity.net/forums/showthread.php?t=9205
#2 -- Not recommended for the Unreal Tournament 2004 editor... but in the UnrealEngine3 editor (UT3, Gears, etc) it's not only possible, it's recommended. The problem with UT2004 is that Static Meshes REALLY don't light well.

If you want to map using all Static Meshes... best to pick up a copy of UT3... it's only like 20$ on Steam.

Oh -- and about the textures thing... you're looking at an Unreal Tournament 1 tutorial (UnrealEd = Unreal... UnrealEd 2.0 = UT... UnrealEd 3.0 = UT2003/4... UnrealEditor for {Insert UnrealEngine3 powered game here} = {Insert UnrealEngine3 powered game here})
