zark?

Do you guys think there will be a zark mod for UT3? If there is, are we all going to play it?

I was playing the demo today of UT3, and while the graphics are great and optimized fairly well, the weapons i think suck. The weapons in my opinion fire way to slowly for the speed of all the players, which is why I played zark in the first place. I loved the fact that in zark we all spawned with the same weapon and ammo so it was an even playing field, not who spawns closest to the link gun, and the rate of fire was just perfect for that kind of game and speed. My vote is for the zark experience and i'm down for the mod in UT3 to bring it all back.

JanusX my friend... I always knew you would still be hiding in the woodwork. The term "zark" comes up, and there you are! Even if it popped up in your own head!

UT3's main intent was to get back to their roots of how the gameplay was in the original '99.

I think they focused a lot on allowing for mods as well as they want extended play for a very long time. So all the zark modders just have to learn the new engine and editors and make a killer mod. I'm guessing that will take a long time after the game is released.

Still, there is going to be like 7 different game types as well... huge huge HUGE maps.... its gonna be a different ball game.

And if you built a computer a year ago in anticipation for this game... get ready to upgrade it some more lol. The extended wait though was to optimize the game even better so now the minimum requirements are less. 2.4 GHz cpu, 512mb ram... etc

If you're redoing Zark then I'm changing my stance on whether or not to get this game. Zark was the sole reason why I stuck with UT for as long as I did!

Oh, welcome to the forums to buddy!

Ok, the mod is working, but it's not totally complete.

It doesn't use any animations (except for the muzzle flash), because the default animations for the stock weapon I used is kinda gay for a Zark and I don't know how to model and rig skeletal meshes. If anyone wants to make a model you're more than welcome. If anyone has the PSA and PSK files from the UT2K4 mod those would be appreciated as well.

To me the fire rates seem kinda funky. Also the damage rates seem too low at times and too high at others.

A full configuration UI is in the works however. That will take a bit as I have to learn the ins and the outs of the new system. Not too much work I hope.

If anyone wants the working mod (as it is) for testing and feedback, drop a line here. I will check back here daily.

Peace.
