No, I didn't change anything. They're just the normal vehicle models that come with the game.

This is pretty nice xD, gets boring after awhile though.
Perhaps if you could extend it a tad bit it would be.. even more awesome xD

either way, thankies for the map

How did you deal with (or at least circumvent) the fact that you die after a while when playing in editor? Or did you just build and test in-game?

P.S.: Pretty nice map Liked dodging cars for a while, I'm going to add a few extra's to it now ;D

Man, this game really needs good SDK...

Wow sweet job on that map. DICE needs to make an SDK though so then the game can become more replayable.

Made a short video of your map here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TEhxaXakzxY

Hope you don't mind, I credited you properly.

No problem, olimango. Someone also uploaded my map to ModDB but it's all fine by me as long as no one claims it as their own.

I was hoping to do some more mapping today, but it turns out I forgot to back up those UnrealED files before formatting my hard drive. And I let my sister borrow my Gears of War CD so now I'll just download UT3 from Steam again. Ah well.
Also, a while ago I noticed that jumping from car to car is much easier when they go half as fast. I don't have the editor on me at the moment, but I think you have to go into Kismet, open one of the Matinee nodes and move the last keyframe to a later time so that the movement takes twice as long. It should automatically affect all cars. I think.

I'm aware of the PlayRate setting, but wouldn't that require you to change it for each of the cars? (UT3 hasn't finished downloading yet so I can't try it myself)

Not sure if you've looked at how I made the cars appear, but it's a somewhat hacky method. I couldn't figure out how to make the cars spawn as moving objects during gameplay, so I just placed a whole bunch of them beforehand and let a random car start moving whenever a short period of time passes. When a car reaches the other tunnel, it goes back to its original position (and changes into a random car model) so that it can start moving again later. A bit messy but it works.

Running down a highway dodging cars sounds like a fun part of a larger map. Good work either way .

EDIT: after looking at the YouTube vid, it actually looks very fun! Can't download it as I own the PS3 version, but I hope to see something like this in M.E. 2?

(Ok, I'm that student from earlier, the Sandbox 2 editor won't work cos it doesn't run good on my laptop. So I guess I'll start working on ME and the unrealED

So I thought a  good way to start was to open this map in the editor (I already followed the tutorials). Anyhow... How come it opens the default training level?
I wanted to see how the highway and stuff around was made but all I get is the default level from the ME devs...

I think it should work if you also place the map in your My Documents\EA Games\Mirror's Edge\TdGame\Unpublished\CookedPC\Maps\SP00 directory. (Unpublished, not Published like you already have.)
When you load a map in the game, it first looks in the Published directory in My Documents. If it can't find the map there, it uses the one in the game folder. When you load a map in the editor, it first looks in the Unpublished directory, and then in the game folder. I think that's how it works.

Not sure about your theory on maploading-priorities, but the first I already tested before reading here and it works.

Noone, thanks for the criticism. I might update or remake the map sometime and I'll definitely keep those points in mind then.

And I keep up my work as critic: the traffic is much too static, everytime more than one car comes out, they move almost in-line. Also the distance to the front/rear car is alway n*carlength, with n as integer. Gives the impression of a checkerboard coming.
Well, but fear not, I'm already working on it. I already tried some things in Kismet, and though they did not work, I'll keep on trying.

My lokk just came across two more things: There is one City-SM which is not seen from anywhere on the highway, therefor it may be deleted. The other thing: not only the highway itself, but also the buildings directly at the highway should have some decorations on them.

Do you need the pc version or is there a way to play it on the ps3 one
