Unreal maps in Mirror's Edge
05/09/12 at 00:13:42

As I have found out how to run Unreal Editor for Mirror's Edge, I decided to run a few Unreal maps in Mirror's Edge by using UT3Converter. It is quite interesting to play those maps as Faith and freerunning controls, but it kind of feels natural to play. I have recorded a video, but it is over 150 MB big and I have 50 KB/s upload speed... But that doesn't stop me from sending ya some screenies! Cheesy

Some Nyleve Falls (Nyleve)

Some Nali Castle (NaliC)

And the best for last Wink

ooh sexy

I also have converted some maps from UT2004 and it works as well, but Faith is too tall. Teleporters do work in this game. It can also run maps from UT3, but I haven't figured out how yet. Skybox is obviously fake, as it is executed differently on UE3. Water zones or anything of that kind does not exist in this game, but it is possible to port it from UT3.

You could delete its faces and try to copy-paste it into an additive file, place a skydome and apply the Unreal sky-material to it. Won't look that good, but better than the box.

EDIT: Forget the idea, I didn't overthink it well enough. I forgot that the terrain is most likely subtracted and not added in a subtracted cube...

Yeah, it's a subtracted brush. Even with UT2004. But I still can't find out how to put the weapons and pawns in. There is a helicopter, but it's just a placeholder and it doesn't let me look at the scripts for some reason... I'll see what I can do with the skybox tho.. And I forgot to mention that I was using S3TC textures and it was extremely unaligned and scaled incorrectly. I don't know how to fix the movers, any idea how?

I think I should try to use those UT3 weapons in Mirror's Edge. If I succeed in that, and if they work, that could be a possible custom mission pack for Mirror's Edge! And as teleporters do work, it can be triggered to load a custom level without much problems at all!

Oh and one more thing; how do you import those P8 (animated) textures in UnrealEd for UE3 and how to even export them correctly from UnrealEd 2/3?

And Sly, are you still working on your Vortex Rikers remake for UT3? I could use it in Mirror's Edge as well if it works in UT3.

I thought the heroin looked pretty, but judging by the last screenshot, she's not. Oh well.

Back to the main subject : the Nyleve map also shows it's in a box : there a big shadows in the sky. The easiest solution would be to create an additive map, add a cube inside it, add the map (and its subtracted giant terrain) inside, and then add a subtractive brush above the cliffs, to open the upper part of the map.

I'm still working on it but I think you know how real life can be. Short on time, still trying to work on it whenever I have some more spare time left. There's an annoying lighting issue I can't seem to get fixed or have a workaround for. Undecided

Anyway, once it's done, why not? As long as you credit me and Epic Games for the work I'm all fine with that.

(First I need a release though)

lol, that would be great.
It's a shame Bulletstorm has no mod support - just because of paid DLC (although you can make it possible without breaking the paid DLC concept). Contacting and trying to convince the guys at PCF is also pretty much impossible it seems... Bummer. Undecided

It has such great assets that one could even recreate/mesh out the Unreal levels as the Stygian landscapes has certain similarities to Na Pali.
