Unreal Official T-Shirt

[SkaarjSlayer]

Aw MAN! I'm envious of you. Ooh, do you think we could hack the file to enable real shadows and make it work with any card? Or would that be too much?

Well, for anyone who is interested in it, they guy that sells the card still has 3 other copies of them at this link: Creative Labs Riva TNT 16MB 2x AGP Video Card CT6710


But as far as i know, and there have been numerous attempts by alot of people over the years, you ONLY can run it on THAT card. But for $7.95 thats doable
.

Hi there, I have been lurking for quite some time now here, just got my Unreal and UT servers up. Saw this thread.....

Just wanted to say that you should pickup a 16mb 3dfx voodoo 3 3000 video card. Unreal was practically made for that card. Shadows are one thing, but you may just poop your trousers when you see what it looks like with the 3dfx card.

Will be around, take care peoples! ^_^

Had that video card when Unreal first came out and you're right, it worked beautifully with the game. I'm good with my current video card now though.. it may not be perfect but it runs Unreal just fine.

I thought i bump this thread because about 15 minutes ago i won a bid on Ebay for exactly this T-shirt. And i know there was another bidder on the item, and since the community isnt that large, theres a big chance its someone posting on these forums as well, and i hope its not BrakeDanceJ ......


But alla, i expect to receive it within a couple a weeks, and than i can have a good look at it, to see if i can pull off decent shots(wheater scans of photos, or a combination), and recreate it from scratch into high resolution. Or i remove all garbage from the scans by painting the missing or damaged parts.


If its doable ill post the results here on the forums so everyone can grab them to have a T-shirt made. Well if its doable, i will post high resolution shots anyway cleaned up or not.

In addition to above i do have a request for you BrakeDanceJ, could you provide a list of all the Unreal items you have? I am working on a super large section on the site where everything ever released for Unreal can be found, and i am curious if you do have certain items that i do not have.

Some asshole just out-bid me on ebay for the only shirt on there. :O

I also have the original soundtrack and like 50 copies of the game. I'm trying to find what I did with the sound track cd! Most of the stuff I try to collect, I try to get one 'new'. Everything you see above in a wrapper is the original wrapper from the manufacturer. Never opened.

Now, there are a TON of different Unreal CDs floating out there. It came included with a buncha sound and graphics cards and had various demos. Some of the disks even included broken copies of the game. I have a photo of one above with the red markings; I have a bunch, I just have to find them.

Returning to the shadow option that the old Riva TNT have, it is possible to somewhat "copy&paste" from this source, for use the code written 13 years ago today?

[[]KAOS[]Casey]

If we actually can find said code, it can probably be modified to work in OGL. But really, good luck finding such old code

[DieHard SCWS]

Some not a very nice person just out-bid me on ebay for the only shirt on there.  

Yeah i was afraid something like would happen. Most cases there is no other bidder on items i buy for Unreal. But on occasion it does, and seeing the amount of people really buying stuff, than if theres another bidder, you will almost for sure bid against someone you know. And i knew upfront i am probably gonna disapoint someone i know.......


But of course if its the other way around, a similar thing is likelly to happen to me, and in that case i am the one getting disapointed by someone i know.

I have a photo of one above with the red markings; I have a bunch, I just have to find them.

I dont follow what you mean by that? Can you elaborate?


But as for the top photo, the Totally Unreal version, is that a carton box, or a DVD, cause i dont think i saw that one before. Also the Diamond CD is interesting. I actually got my first Unreal with my Diamond Viper 550, but the CD was the generic black european version with the Unreal logo and either Hastec or Diamond on it. Yours seem to be a US version with Diamond on it.

Do you have the Unreal Special bundled with Prody Parrot ?


But in for all goes, if you could get a full list of what you have, than i certainly wouldnt mind it, if you got a scanner, to scan(600DPI) the CD's and their cases for me so i can add those to the site as well.
.

[DieHard SCWS]

Right now i am also waiting for this one to arive, and trust me, i had to go through great lenght to get it lol.





And i am also pretty sure there is a Japanese version of RTNP and Unreal, but also a the Russian versions. The shitty thing is, that for whatever reason there is no russian nor a Japanese Ebay while both countries are pretty big.

But i am probably gonna bypass that and contact a Russian and a Japanese that play UT3 to see if they can find it for me. Luckelly those forums do give peoples email adress bluntly in sight, so ill just write an email to a couple of them.

[[]KAOS[]Casey]

I wonder if the non-english versions differ greatly

[DieHard SCWS]

It might be, because the other day i came across a japanese site where there was a screenshot from the endmap and it showed a spaceship i never saw before. And obviously i didnt save the link thinking i could find it back  



And the German version of Vortex is stripped from all the gore due to censorship and its called VortexDet.unr if i am correct.

So you got it? Congrats.

The "Diamond" video card mark. A lot of cards came with their own 'branded' unreal disk.

But as for the top photo, the Totally Unreal version, is that a carton box, or a DVD, cause i dont think i saw that one before.

Box carton.

Also the Diamond CD is interesting. I actually got my first Unreal with my Diamond Viper 550, but the CD was the generic black european version with the Unreal logo and either Hastec or Diamond on it. Yours seem to be a US version with Diamond on it.

I have a bunch with different marks like that on them if I could find em. I think I have some with soundblaster on them too.

Do you have the Unreal Special bundled with Prody Parrot ?

No, but tell me more!

Just everything you see above. If I can find some time (and a scanner), I'll get those CDs scanned for you.

[[§Ŕ] ŤhěxĐâŕkśîđěŕ]

Do those old CDs you get off of eBay still actually work? A lot of my old CDs are unreadable (though only partially) but I took good care of them...

[DieHard SCWS]

So you got it? Congrats.

Yeah, it was also the reason i bumped the thread, but as said, i will post high resolution photos and scans from it anyway. So you will be able to have it printed if you want.

Box carton.

I didnt have that one, but for that one goes as welll, in case i cannot get it anywhere, if possible scan it from all 6 sides in 600DPI

No, but tell me more!

The day before i posted that remark i found that CD on Ebay and i wanted to sent you the link through PM. But i have looked all over the place and went through all the sites but i cannot find it anymore. And i have been looking for days and hours but to no vail And either i am still overlooking it, or more likelly its not listed anymore....

But in case you come acrosss it, if i recall correctly it had a photo from thew Unreal Retail box, but you could see the CD itslef because it lacked the CD booklet insert. Kinda like this mockup:




When opening the page itself, if you would scroll down to the bottom, there it all of a sudden also had a photo from the Unreal CD as well as a photo from the Special Edition\Prody Parrot. And to make it even worse it was only 1 dollar And i dont know if it was a normal or a MAC version, so disregard that on the photo above.


I already have it, so i didnt think twice and went ahead not storeing the link, which i now regret. The CD however does look like this:

Just everything you see above. If I can find some time (and a scanner), I'll get those CDs scanned for you.

That would be cool. And as said, please scan everything in 600DPI, but dont alter the scan and save it as tiff or bmp file, so dont use jpg. Also scan it with some extra space around, and dont edit anything, i will do that myself to make sure everything is kept at the original size.

And i dont mind the filesize, so it eassely can be hundreds of megabytes, i dont care.

Sorry, I had not even seen your original post stating you got it. Probably would have not posted 'some not nice person just outbid me on a the shirt on ebay'. LOL

[Leo T_C_K]

DieHard, my CD of Unreal special edition is not looking like that, beacuse my edition is just the sound blaster thing, kinda ugly CD, I wish I had the cover you had shown, so it has sound blaster CD cover, no Unreal image, but there is written on it that it contains the proddy parrot and Unreal special though.

The edition you have shown is the standalone one, I have such special ediiton of Serios Sam also, shareware Serious Sam, it has normal cover though just like the CD you have shown.

[DieHard SCWS]

Ah well, i thought you were being sarcastic And aside that, as said i knew i was disapoining someone, and seeing you reaction i wasnt to far off.


The T-shirt was put on the mail last friday and with a bit of luck it will hopefully be here this week. And if so if the weather is good il take high res photos and scans which i will post staff.

Thats cool to know, and in time, if possible, ill ask you the same thing, make a good 600DPI scan and save it as tiff or bmp and sent the raw scan to me, or upload it to your own site so i can download it. And for everybody goes, just scan it, dont alter anything to. So if its in a bad angle, i dont mind, let me do the editing. So by all means really sent in the raw file and keep a bit of space around it. So no cutting, cropping, cleaning, or angle adjustment required, just the raw scan.

I recieved the T-Shirt today, and here are the high res photos i took today:

01_T_Shirt_EntireFront.jpg
02_T_Shirt_LogoUnreal.jpg
03_T_Shirt_LogoAll.jpg
04_T_Shirt_LogoEpic.jpg
05_T_Shirt_LogoDE.jpg
06_T_Shirt_LogoGT.jpg


Of course i will also make scans, but it will have to wait till i am a bit better healthwise. The logos i will recreate those in high resolution(4096 x 4096 pixels) from scratch anyway. That way the grid wont be there if T-Shirts are made of it. The same aplies to the Unreal logo and also the yellow band that are on top and at the bottom of the front picture. The picture itself will be as is, as i am not that good i can reproduce that from scratch.


But all that will have to wait till i am alot better than i am now.


Aside all that, i am really happy with the T-Shirt because it looks pretty cool . In time i will also scan the box and add that to the site. Unfortunatelly the box is damaged pretty bad, but its good enough to scan it, and after editing in Photoshop all damage should be gone. And now i got my hands on the shirt i also noticed the shirt isnt white but has a dirty white look(more or less grey).

[BrakeDanceJ]

Is that a brute on the left?

[[]KAOS[]Casey]

from left to right

Regular Titan | Regular{? could be a few others but since it's monochrome hard to tell} Skaarj Warrior | Beta skin krall | beta skin brute

could be wrong about it being Beta but i know they're not retail.

[DieHard SCWS]

Ow, thats good that those remarks were made, because the boxart on the retail boxes they used some kind of texture where the monsters were painted on. But now i see this doesnt apply to to the T-Shirt. These are the creatures as is.


In that case i wonder, can all these monsters been called up ingame? (Beta maps ??) Because if so, i can make as high res screenshots as possible, and recreate it with those screenshots. That of course is a much better option than taking them off the shirt.

Of course i am only talking about the Beta skin krall and beta skin brute.

I tried doing this using the UnrealEd Mesh viewer. The quality was god awful. The shirt had a way higher quality. We'd be better off trying to salvage the shirt graphics with a bit of photoshop magic.

[Leo T_C_K]

I don't have scanner diehard, or any access to it, I can just take a photo using regular camera.

And these creatures have different skins than the beta we have, it is from different beta version, not same as in the beta.

[DieHard SCWS]

No, i disagree there. I already have been doing a few tests for the mousepad, and i got good results on the needed DPI for printing with screenshots taken in 1600 x 1200. That size is equal and larger than the needed DPI for printing. It is also possible to have me edit the skins in Photoshop so they match the skins seen on the T-Shirt. And below is a simple example i made to show what can be done.

The first alternating pictures is the original screenshot and the process with Photoshop. There i added better highlights and shadows, and i also painted a oval connector input/outlet on his right side(actually on his left) breast plate.

The last alternating part is the enhanced picture that has better contrast to the darker and light areas.





And its just a test and nothing more, but it does show whats possible. And at the end the quality should be alot higher than whatever can be pulled of the shirt itself.


But as said, if i am a bit decent ill make high res scans anyway, because i need t for the project anyway. So if you want to work from those, you will can.

I don't have scanner diehard, or any access to it, I can just take a photo using regular camera.

Thats a pitty, but it is how it is, so a photo will have to do it. In that case put it as large as possible on the photo(but make sure the edge of the CD does not actually tough the border of the phot, so leave some space between it. And take the photo as straight from above as possible.
