UT2007 Media Analyzed

12/13/06 22:16 PST - General UT2007 News A fan by the name of Henrik 'Bersy' Ryosa has gone to great lengths to analyze some existing UT2007 media (more specifically, videos). Bersy provides high resolution screenshots and describes exactly what they demonstrate. His goal is “to dispel a lot of what's been circulating in the UT "rumor mill" which is, by and large, conjecture, by providing some solid proof of what is known about the game to date.” It’s a fairly lengthy read, but certainly a worthwhile one. Check it out!
MonkeyBuild Version 3.0 Released
- Virax -
12/12/06 16:44 PST - General Unreal News Free Monkey Interactive has released version 3 of MonkeyBuild, which was originally created to speed up the process of building and testing new UnrealScript code (in both offline and network situations) while developing UTXMP. The appliction supports all Unreal Engine games with a standard Unreal
Engine 1/2 or Unreal Engine 3 directory structure, and is even able to
detect most installed Unreal Engine games.
MonkeyBuild allows you to create and execute sequences of actions that you might find yourself performing many times as you write and test UnrealScript code. Instead of manually opening a command prompt, typing commands in each time and then checking log files, just create a sequence in MonkeyBuild to suit your needs, and run it whenever you need to compile and test new code!
