SPEAK YOUR MIND
"Does the distance one travels from center make one more free
to move?"
"No. Freedom has two parts: potential and resolution; as
metaphor has two parts: form and interpretation. Of course,
the two are intertwined. Metaphor lines the road to freedom,
as symbols and words are the bricks and mortar of meaning.
Freedom is being the bricoleur, the mason."

In Response To: couple of questions (Shadow)
: 3. In what incarnation of this mod will the mp3 files be
: implimented? And are there goings to be new mp3s for
: multiplayer?
Implementing the music isn't the problem..implementing the music in the proper format is. Right now the people that did tracks liked playing with gear and laying down the sound in an mp3 stream..UT likes tracked music (MOD, MAD S3M, XM etc) which is quite a bit different than just plain recorded sound. Some have suggested just spliting the sounds into tracked instruments, but that would be far too demanding on the engine when everything else in a level is taken into effect. Also, this wouldn't allow us to use the UT music calls for suspense, silence etc etc for various parts in the track.
So in short..the people that made our music did a great job..it just doesn't do us much good in their current form, and due to the nature of the music, it may yet be a while until something new in _proper_ format is put in.
