Unreal Tournament 3 mod-cooker could be out next week

by Jem Alexander { Jan 3rd 2008 at 9:00AM }

The ever-chatty vice president of Epic, Mark Rein, has posted on the official Unreal Tournament III forums to let us know that they're in the final stages of testing the public code that allows for "cooking" mod code for the PS3. Rein believes that testing should be finished sometime next week and the update can then be immediately released. This will open the flood gates and we will then see a huge amount of user generated content being played on the PS3. We can't wait.

Once the "cooker" is finally released, we at PS3 Fanboy will be running a new feature showcasing the best UTIII mods available for PS3. More on that next week, hopefully!

maybe I should get to unreal level editor and make some map for ps3fanboy....

This is gonna be very awesome. I'm so glad I spent my $60 on this game. It has the potential to be in my regular game rotation for years.

I don't mind having to use a USB stick to transfer stuff(until a better integrated means is released), but they need to fix the naming of the files. You can't put more than one at a time on your USB stick because the files are named the same. Some weird combination of numbers and letters.

I would try renaming them but I don't know the scheme or if the PS3 would recognize them.

I still think it sucks that you have to own UT3 for your PC and your PS3 to create these mods. I understand the hows and whys but still...

Christian @ Jan 3rd 2008 10:28AM

Well technically you only need to own it for your PC. Only reason you would need to also own it for your PS3 is cause you want to play your mods on the PS3. But most mods will probably come from PC owners/users who will never themselves play the game on the PS3.

I'm sure it wouldn't be too hard to illegally download just the Unreal Editor for free.

Popfrogs @ Jan 3rd 2008 11:46AM

@Hyams: The UnrealEd does you no good without all the game assets.

Hyams @ Jan 3rd 2008 12:14PM

Oh, my ignorance of modding is showing.

Well, I'm sure it's always possible to illegally download the full game, then. Torrents FTW?

Haiddasalami @ Jan 3rd 2008 5:07PM

@Hyams:

Seems like a patch is going to be released and there isnt a no dvd exe patch yet.

Darkdrium777 @ Jan 3rd 2008 10:20AM

I am in the process of finalising a deathmatch map, remake of an old time favorite: Fractal. Expect to hear about it in the following week PS3Fanboy! :p

Haiddasalami @ Jan 3rd 2008 5:10PM

dude thats awesome? are you using ingame assets or are you modeling your own. I have to wait for unreal pc....have u tried kismet or whatever it is called?

Darkdrium777 @ Jan 4th 2008 9:58PM

Using assets provided with the game, and yes I have used Kismet for making the elevators and the trap door as well :) Works great for now.

finally got ut3...watching the vids from 3d buzz. Did have the prob of ut3.exe has encountered an error and after a re-install is working...cant wait to make maps!

shadysaiyan @ Jan 3rd 2008 12:55PM

This is fantastic news! cant wait too se all the PC mods make there way here.

nahworry @ Jan 3rd 2008 3:09PM

I can't wait to try out the first mods. The game has shipped and is on its way over here to me in Europe; let's cross fingers and hope that the customs office doesn't delay its delivery for too long.

Best thing would be to get a selection of the best mods onto PSN, but of course as free downloads. Otherwise the USB stick hassle is fine with me (I'm a PSP veteran).

Haiddasalami @ Jan 3rd 2008 5:08PM

right now there is 1 map mod and 1 gameplay mod

True_Darknight @ Jan 3rd 2008 3:22PM

Oh Oh OH!!!!! hahahahaha this will be soo sweet. And by the way there is a very very easy way to get the mod... wait for a server to run with it and try to log into the server.. you will auto download it!!! hahahaha.. how nice huh?

Anyways like i said before!!! Server: UT RULES
Come and get some!!!!
and yes this is my name on PSN :-)!!!!

Herby @ Jan 3rd 2008 10:13PM

Right now there is four maps and one mutator available for the PS3.
If you want to download them directly to your PS3 using your PS3's internet browser and a flash card or usb device go to ut3mod.com and there is a Tutorial available there showing you how.
