Any chance I can get some of you mapping gurus to take a look at this? We could sure use some good maps (at least once Epic gets around to fixing the redirect issues)

I have it, but I haven't used it yet. Maybe sometime this week.
Any UT2004 map converted over is going to be like 25+% bigger than it needs/should be in UT3. I haven't tested what UT99 will be like comparatively, but hopefully not that big of a difference.
Right now I'm kind of too busy to be doing much mapping, that and redirects aren't working right so it seems pointless. Not to mention it's just a bear to even use the editor with my crappy card. I'll be upgrading after Christmas for sure.
I've got a couple of layouts that are ready for UT3, and once the redirects get fixed and I upgrade, I'll be porting them over as soon as I can.

Hmm... first thought's ring very true with above quote. I don't understand how the maps already being released for warfare can even be considered to be good when so much is not understood about the gameplay.
However, for kicks i wouldn't mind seeing maelstrom/dreamus/bitchslap :D. I don't think any serious maps can come out of this tool though.

- a map like dreamus would be easier and hella faster to reproduce, from nothing instead of trying to convert it with such tool , because it's 90% terrain -

Agreed with Alpha. On the plus side, terrain seems to work a lot better for me now in the editor.

I like it. It copied over all of my BSP brushes from my UT99 map CTF-Dagnys-PussyWhIpPeD and saved me a couple hours. However, all of the brushes needed to be realigned. Hoping I can get that out the door within the next two months.

Oh, don't worry. It's going to be a low poly, no static meshes, no visible light sources affair. It's all about the gameplay IMHO. I'm mostly done with the texturing and now I'm working on the lighting. I have to learn how to do each step since so many changes have been made to the Editor.
