HI Guys
I've found these maps while clearing out my old hard disk,
http://www.smstributes.co.uk/sinistral/ ... _Final.zip
It was from a single player map pack I was making wayyyyy back in the day of 3dfx voodoos and my old amd k6/2 350mhz. It was never finsihed, but it's still playable. I think I gave up because of the amount of time it was taking to rebuild the levels. The last one it was getting to the "make a cup of tea and come back" stages. I meant to start work on it after getting a new PC, but by that time I had started Uni, and there wasn't enough hours in the day as it was.
Just thought I'd share it as I hate seeing things go to waste and dissapear, maybe someone might enjoy playing it.
Start the game by running intromap.unr

Wow interesting...

The first maps look quite nice, its pretty good architecture for a map from the 3dfx days, very unreal'ish aswell.
unfortunately level4 fails to load, sintex.utx and sinistral.uax are not found.
i managed to get by that problem by creating dummy packages, level5 doesn't have an ending am i right?

I think these packages could be found elsewhere, I remember seeing them. The sound and textures I mean.

I managed to find the packages and I've put them into the zip, but i think it must be a diffrent version of sinistral.utx as it doesn't have the ground texture for level 4.
Like you said level 5 was never finsihed, did you find the Titan in that level though?
You would never have guessed I was really into Stargate SG1 when i was making this

seems to be a package missing for one of the levels called "Sintex"....and it's not the UMX file either...perhaps a system file with the same name?

No, it is texture file...but he's got wrong one, so it shows default texture on that ground texture.

Mind you, I beleive there was other pack which had map names go like level1 etc...it should have been more unique names imo, this way there can be online conflicts.
And could you finish map4? I didn't find that coil needed to open the area with stargate.

I did
Only level5 seems to have no ending. You go in a box, door closes, and that's it. There seems to be an elevator shaft going to no where...like it was never finished. I just put a timer on that map on my server.

heh, yeah you guys kind of hit a wall with the last part. Level 5 was never finished - did plan to have a huge base, but it all began to meagre into one mass of mediocrity.
I didn't really think anyone would play this, let-alone put it on a server. Since you guys had a go, I might have a stab at finishing it.
The "coil" can be found at the bottom of the first elevator you come to in level 4, it's inside a locker - can't remember if i made it so you had to shoot the locker first to open it or not..
A potential bug in level5 I can think of now is if the titan kills you thel respawn point is outside the room it's in, with no way to get back into the room or open the door again.
I did re-jig some of these maps and converted it to an UT assault map (as-offworldassault) which you can find here if interested
