MULTI Mods crashing UT3 PS3 or do you care about mods?

[radd]

The inevitable has happened, mods for the PS3 version cooked by Epic Games themselves are crashing, what luck is there for user cooked mods ( which dont even exist yet since Epic hasnt released the toolset. )

http://www.n4g.com/ps3/News-94797.aspx

There are various posts on the official UT3 forums saying that one of the user created mods 'Cooked' by Epic games is crashing PS3's.

People are pointing towards the 'Mutator' mod that was released.

As this is a user mod it is unclear who will look into this problem as if Epic look into the problems they will simply be a free testing arm for PS3 user mods and this task will become impossible once they release their utility for pc users to cook mods themselves.

This mod was obviously cooked for use by Epic so i think they will look into it but it does raise some questions about managing user created mods being used unintentionally/intentionally in virus like ways.

Just like mods on pc do not install multiple ones at a time, test it fully after installing it. At least then you know which mod caused the issue and it can then be removed.

Ps3 and PC are the beta testers for the Xbox 360

LOL

Ok, enough joking around.

lets use the plight of poor ps3 owners as a jumping point for this discussion.

just for reference,

mods are user created content, this could be anything from an emblem to a map.

mods are created by modifying existing games, for this you need a toolset for the said games.

mods are mostly created by hardcore gamer and programming students.

mods usually require more resources than the parent game since they are created by amateurs and furthermore they cant optimize the code as much as someone with the inside knowledge of the engine could.

counter strike was a mod (bah, you knew that!)

so pc guys,

do you care about mods?
how many mods have you tried?
are they any good?
ever tried creating a mod?
do they matter?

i downloaded lotsa mods back when i was high on red alret2, meh, most of them were just different vehicles or buildings. very boring.

Never ever tried a mod, it seems waaay too hardcore and a time wasting exercise there are soo many games to play ( and i don't have enough time for them so mods are a no no )

lol.

some people are just looking to troll around idiotic points now.

 

[radd]

oh wow, dont burden us with your contribution.

super, atif, inferno, desolater? to mod or not to mod?

 

[saqib126]

Have done never before, but in UT3 it looks a bit cool ...

 

[superlative56]

Never Bother to install Mods.

I just install once SAN Andreas:chair:

 

[radd]

hahahaha

hasnt everyone with the pc version downloaded that mod

I depends on the level of interactivity and features a mod bring into the game, like I used to download lots of mods for RA and Tiberium Sun, generals etc but it obvious mods don't change the game totally other then adding few new enhancements, maps or units..I have only seen very few mods which have changed the game a bit more then the traditionally modding stuff, but most of them were unstable (lots of crashes) I think there was a big mod of Tiberium Sun out there..

Gamers used to download mods because at that time there were not many games available in the market to play unlike these days.

So I think these days game mods are just a waste of time and then the crashes? ohh please no one have much time in todays fast and busy life! and a prove of my point is in front of you all, how many of new games out there who support mods? (from the new big titles).

So, at least I am not going to butt into the modding stuff till I get something juicy out of the mods along with the stability.

Yeah i have tried mods before. Some maybe side missions or others maybe a totally new dimension. Regarding UT i download about 5-8 mods for UT2004. They seemed kinda cool though. The Unreal editor seems straigth forward too but crytek editor is much simpler and fun.

No i haven't tried it myself but a friend of mine did his final year project using cry engine 1(Far Cry engine). It was a driving simulator. The basic concept behind mods is that you use the stuff you want to and add the additional stuff you like.

Regarding the topic hmmmm i guess it some bad coding from the programmers for now. Since this thing is quite new I'll blame the mods for now. However, patches do solve these issues but that would only help the PC users.

 

[Chandoo]

if this is supposed to be about the PS3 version then why are you bothering to ask the PC users, why not address the PS3 owners.

lol, like i said, trolls need anything to troll around.

 

[radd]

lol

cant you see we dont want you here? have you seen 1 ps3 related post here? its not about the ps3, its about the mods.

lets use the plight of poor ps3 owners as a jumping point for this discussion.

so i guess thats it. i do love the patch files for pro evo so i guess im in the camp which likes small improvements to existing games rather than mods etc besides even counter strike, which like the bestest mod out there, has crappy maps outside of the ones that ship with it.

 

[Chandoo]

? its not about the ps3

really ? the entire OP is about the mods in the PS3 version, and you went ahead and made the topic in the Sony section. I think you've made your trolling crystal clear lol.

i'll just go ahead and move this to general if you actually do intend to have a proper arguement about mods here, which i find highly unlikely.
