I Bring good news.

[Saga]

It appears the Unreal 3 editor is installed directly in dedicated server (which I am installing now) and most likely will be in the PC version. No waiting for it.

Let the next phase of moding begin!

[CarrierII]

WHAT! /me GOOGLES!

This is good, I can test my portability theory...

[Saga]

I can confirm sources have stated UT3 ed is with the game.

If you guys plan to host. Lemme warn you now. UT 3 is more of a pig than ut2004 server wise. You will want a 5140 Xeon or third gen Opteron to do 2 UT3 Renegades, irc and Ts.

[Tsumetai]

I'll personally confirm it.

I'll also say: Anyone planning on doing any editing with UT3, GET THE COLLECTORS EDITION! You WANT the videos that come with it! I know screen shots of the new editor looks very similar to the editor for ut2004, but DON'T BE FOOLED, it's almost a completely different beast!

Kicks ass though.

[JeepRubi]

I am defiantly getting it, but I have to wait till Thursday since they won't release it here until the 22nd

[CarrierII]

Gah, it crashes on Vista x64.

[Guest]

I think i'll buy it from Direct2Drive.com. To lazy to run to the store. Before I buy it, is there anything wrong getting it from Direct2Drive.com, do I miss out on any "special" goodies that usually comes with it in a box order from the store?

[Titan1x77]

Good news, my copy will be coming next week. Speedy, why not just order it online and have it shipped?

Personally, I'd get the boxed game.

[Shadow]

meh Game don't have it in stock till the 23rd here ill have to wait, wonder if my ghraphics card can cope with ut3 (geforce nivida 5500 series) ops: ops:

[JeepRubi]

It can't you'll need at least a 6800

[Guest]

Bah, I hate having more crap laying around. I rather just have a digital copy. Easy to make backups and everything else. I'm going to research it, if it comes with everything as an original box copy comes with, i'm going to roll with it. I think it's about a 8gb download.

[Shadow]

6800 eh? well good thing im gettin a new comp in jan, packing a geforce nvidia 8600GT

[Saga]

I'm not positive of this, but if that is full unreal 3 editor in dedicated server those who don't have the money and want the editor might be able to just download the dedicated server.

[JeepRubi]

What about all the art assets? Won't they be missing?

I dunno. For free, you have to do your own research. All it takes is a download.

[Ric]

My copy of the standard edition has been ordered and will hopefully be with me later today or tomorrow. Whoot!

[CarrierII]

All the assets needed to make the maps that the dedi-server ships with are present. (I think, I can't actually tell, it's still dying on Vista 64...)

[arnyswart]

Can we get a link Saga?

[CarrierII]

http://www.google.com

Google!

I will be getting the collector's edition soon.

[arnyswart]

ok I downloaded the dedicated server and installed it. However where is the editor? There is nothing in the start menu and it is installed to c:/program files/Unreal Tournament 3 (Dedicated Server) directory.

[CarrierII]

Run "frontend.exe"

Comes with 10+ hours of "how to use the editor" footage. Up to you.

[Shadow]

hm..£1 an hour who could ever be bothered to watch 10 HOURS!!!! of video, i could probably find out how to use the ediotr myself allot quicker.

[CarrierII]

I hate to be an ass, but it's seriously complex. I'm happy to pay for the extras.
