UT3 Modding Rocks on PS3(DLC Done Right)

Unreal Tournament 3 is Epic's latest entry in their long running FPS franchise. Not many people have made the effort to pick this game up for the PC, but if you haven't paid up for the PS3 version, then you are missing out on a revolution for console gaming.

[Blackmoses]

the fact that you can only download one MOD at a time is rather a pain but, the mods thus far...too cool! The replay value of this game in turn has tripled in my book!

[masterg]

Yeah we can only add on mod at the time.
But the point is we can add mods. They are so freaking sweet.
I have downloaded a couple and Im truly amazed quality.

And dont forget we can do it in the PS3 browser (UT3mod.com)

[Violater]

THEY ARE FREEEE,

there can be no downside thereafter.

[360theAssasinsCreed]

a good site if you guys haven't checked it out for UT3 PS3 mods is UT3MOD.com i got every mod up to now from that site. Easily UT3 has pretty much turned into a triology of games thanks to the mods. I know this much if MS is smart they will allow mods otherwise Sony will have a nice advantage over them with having Mod support. Seriously guys don't underestimate the MODS and modding community they make games last longer than they would on their own.

[Ju]

Yeah, Epic should have added the browser to the game (menu). Its possible to start the browser from within a game. I know it has some memory footprint, but in the menu screen only, that should be achievable. In that case you wouldn't need to quit the game, import the mod, install it, and so on, but start browser, import, start again, etc.

[barom]

i'm a bit confused at what ya guys mean. can you only import ONE MOD AT A TIME or can you INSTALL ONLY ONE MOD?

[Ju]

A mod uses a specific location and file name on your exchange media (USB stick or memcard or like). So, you can only save one at a time, start UT3 and import it. If you download and save it on a PC, well, yes, then you end up copying one at a time to the media and install it, go back to the PC, copy it, go back to the PS3, import it and repeat until you have 'em all. If you use the PS3 browser, you end up quiting UT3, download a mod, start UT3 again, import it, quit it again, and so on.

So, sure, you can have as many mods as you want, but you have to import them one by one.

[barom]

oh ok I see. thx a lot (bubbles)

[WilliamRLBaker]

too bad...

[GaMr-]

Wats your point?

[hotshot127]

this is the FIRST time on consoles.

do you even know what the word revolutionary means?

lol pathectic attempt at trying to downplay the ps3

[hotshot127]

man thats a first

[Douchebaggery]

Free DLC is the best kind of DLC

[SmokeyMcBear]

mmmmmmmm free... something foreign to you eh there billy baker

[Violater]

he is sitting there tears in his eyes in his dirty diaper thinking to himself "there must be a catch"

My advice to to doubters

Jump Out!!, Come HOME because THIS IS LIVING

[Damphear]

so if this game ever go's to xbox they well have to pay for mods/

witch is funny. and sad

[Iron Man 2]

It is coming to the 360 in April I believe,but luckily it won't have mod support,way to get the worst version lol and even if it did,Microsoft would begin shafting it's customers like they always do

BTW everyone take away WilliamRLfaker's bubbles and mark his comments as spam

[INehalemEXI]

I was going to get this on ps3 but got it for christmas on pc.

I wanted it for ps3 because it would be a historical game for consoles so to speak for this level of mod support also to see what they do with Home when it launches. I will get a used ps3 copy later.

[Mattearl]

Well since you have it for PC... start making some maps man! :)

UT3 is a very fun and addicting game... i'm surprised its not topping the sales charts.

Sure it no COD:4 (because they are two totally different games)... but i'm raking it higher than Halo.

[INehalemEXI]

Compared to anything ive made maps with before.

Im going to have to watch a bunch of tutorials before im up to speed enough to make UT3 maps/mods/mutators.

*starts watching the tuts on http://www.utforge.com/inde... been putting it off for long enough.*

Bubble @ ya Mattearl for reminding me.

Update: So far ive made 2 unpopulated rooms.

[hotshot127]

please EXPLAIN yourselves.............

[XBREAK3FIXME]

No modding for you! HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

[mullet]

In Epic making UT3 for 360 if it won't have mod support.

[undacovabrothe]

Once UT3 hit global it should do better remember its not released in the UK yet or other parts. Should pick up then Sony need to ram more commercials in and help get this game off the ground.

Edit: Also is it me or is this site kinda slow maybe its because every1 dling it or it dls slow to flash drives... hope it gets faster so many maps to dl so little time!

[Mr Blings]

It is a good added value. I just picked up my ps3 and a version of this just over a week ago. Have had a blast with ut3 and have downloaded about 15 maps and a few mutators. Also actually very pleasantly surprised how well the pad works with the game...was kinda nervous about it. Anyway, the only thing I have found not cool is the fact that it has crashed my ps3 a few times. Upon rebooting a message pops up telling me the files on the usb created the crash and asked to shut off the mods to stop it from happening again. I just got the machine, kinda nervous being on my 4th 360. How safe is this again????

[EZCheez]

I've never heard of the PS3 telling you what errors caused it to freeze after you restart. Are you positive that's the order it happened in? When your PS3 does freeze, is it during the game or while you are installing mods?

And as far as the crashing is concerned, you might want to delete your mods and reinstall one at a time while testing each one out specifically. The mods aren't exactly perfect, hence the newer versions of a lot of mods on UT3MOD.com.

Lastly, when your PS3 freezes, there really isn't any damage done unless you let it sit there. When it freezes, it also loses the ability to turn on the fan, and in effect if you leave it for too long it will overheat.

One last thing. When you restart it after it freezes, how do you restart it?

[ROCCOZILLA]

it is amazing how good this game is!!i love all the MODS.they kick ass.as far as it crashing,no big deal just reboot the ps3 and press NO.its because its trying to support multi mods and alot of players.i dont mind its once ever 50 or 60 game if that.UT3MOD.COM!

[xionpunk]

sweet deal. I loved looking for new mods on UT2004. Having them on PS3 is a real breakthrough for consoles.

[Mr Blings]

I am positive this is the sequence...already have deleted all mods from game and usb is out of system. I did this all after it happened. The game froze while playing a match. I cursed under my breath, but whatever. It is when I rebooted the game that this message popped up. I allowed the system to do what it asked to do. Upon going to the community section all mods i had were grayed out. I needed to tell the system to turn them back on if I wanted to use them. I chose to delete them instead.

[EZCheez]

I thought you meant it came up before you even entered the game.

Sounds pretty cut and dry then that you downloaded a bad mod. Not a big deal at all. I can tell you of a few clean ones that I have, specifically Action Cam (third person mutator) that are safe to download.

How many mods did you have installed? I only ask because I was wondering if you could possibly name them so others could know what to steer clear of. I definitely want to keep from downloading whatever bad mod you got.

[MikeGdaGod]

are the mods only available online or can you play them in campaign mode too (action cam)?

[smokysmoke]

I think about it like this it is a really good game with the gfx and all but the point is not enough people play it and adding one mod at a time and just adding them period because some games wont let you download them get to be a paid but the fact is there are MODS witch are really good and cool. i still say im waiting for HAZE, KZ2 and Resisitance 2 but UT4 is still good. WE NEED MORE PLAYERS!!! PS3 will be evolving alot this year youll see ;D

[Figboy]

is an in game web browser.

that way, UT3 PS3 players don't have to keep quitting out of the game and going to ut3mod.com, download the mod to the hard drive, quit the web browser, boot up UT3, and install the mod.

an in game web browser would be *IDEAL, until they develop a system of installing more than one mod at a time.

other than that, this is *AWESOME!

i've already downloaded, at *LEAST, 30 pieces of additional content, from new character models, to new maps, to mutators and game types.

UT3 is a fun game in it's own right, but the modding aspect is where it's at.

i also have the PC version of Unreal, and i'm working on developing some mods and maps for the Playstation 3 community. quite a bit of the PC community for UT3 is a bit, uh, *RESISTANT to PS3 owners entering "their" forums. it gets pretty ugly sometimes; not *ALL PC owners are @sses about it, however, as there are a few who are cooking mods for PS3 owners, as well, but a majority kind of see us PS3 players as, well, *STUPID, and somehow intruding upon their precious Unreal series. i could understand the sentiment, if, say, the PS3 version of Unreal was complete sh*t, but it's a damn near *PIXEL PERFECT recreation of the PC game, down to the mouse and keyboard support. it's not like Epic tried to make UT3 on the *PLAYSTATION 2 or something. ah well. modding is awesome, and i can't wait until my first map is ready for release.

[mistertwoturbo]

definitely agree, they should have a simpler way of integrating downloading of mods. that or let us create different folders for different mods so you can just download them all at once.

[Stoned Alone]

if you have 4 usb ports you can import 4 mods at a time

[ohhthegore]

Hmmm, never thought about doing that before

[MikeGdaGod]

do mods only work in multiplayer or campaign also?

[Gish]

I am such a strong PC supporter usually so COD4 was my first FPS for a console. I love it. But does the speed of UT3 translate well? I know everyone has asked. I also have a bluetooth keyboard and mouse that are sluggish in the xmb. Is it also sluggish in the game. Also, why the hell is it sluggish at all??? It isnt on my pc so why the PS3.

Post note: anyone know if bluetooth is supportered in the Ubuntu Linux for the PS3?

[Figboy]

the speed of UT3 is carried over *VERY well. some folks (usually those that have *NEVER played the Playstation 3 version of UT3), have made a big deal about the 20% speed reduction for UT3 on the PS3, but i have *BOTH the PC and PS3 version, and the speed difference, while there, is not as great.

the game is very fast paced and frantic, and the Speed Freak mutator is *NUTS, but still incredibly playable on the PS3 with a controller, and mouse and keyboard.

i play 100% of the time on my PS3, because my video card isn't the latest, and i like playing the game on my 40" LCD HDTV at nearly max settings on the PS3.

i'm not sure about the Bluetooth sluggish issues, as i have my mouse and keyboard hooked up via the USB ports, and don't have any issues.

i'm not sure which version, but Linux *DOES support Bluetooth, and that one video of the guy running Crysis on his PS3 shows that Linux supports Bluetooth. i'm just not certain as to which version of Linux supports it.

[Mr Blings]

The maps I downloaded off te top of my head were: downpour,krodan,seige reactor, fractal,perfect temple,night in the park, mutators;gibilicious and action cam v 1.0. the very last one i downloaded was the pit of agony remake...this is the map that i crashed on. it is prolly just this map, but it was one of the first maps releases and i have seen no one else post of problems with it
