UT40K: The Chosen Although 40K players and other Mod Teams may not have herd about us, we have in fact been going on, for quite a while. The fact that a ModDB page was never set up for us has only just been brought to light. We are a small but dedicated team, devoted to bringing the universe of Games Workshops Warhammer 40,000 to it's full glory, using the UT3 engine. While we have been toiling in the shadows, we have actually managed to release a Number of Public Betas over the last year and improve on them with each upgrade. We are devoted to remaining as close to the publish code rules as we possibly can, to the point where we have implemented both the JAM system, for the Terminator Assault Cannon, and a fully functional vehicle damage system, complete with Front, Side and Rear armour values and features all of the ways of disabling a vehicle (e.g. Crew Stunned, Weapon Destroyed, Immobilised and all the others) We have two mostly functional races available; The Imperium's...

Has anyone given any thought to custom sounds for weapons, vehicles, etc? |

Hmm im not sure. In the Dawn of War games they have some varied stuff, nothing like the UT techno style though. Id leave this one to geo, im not sure what kinda music fits the Warhammer 40k universe to be honest lol. -- Looking for a mod team? You're in luck. Check out our mod page. |

Considering that it's more or less a board game, I'd assume that there's no official music for it, except from other forms of media like video games or movies. We shouldn't directly take any of that, but instead make our own. I personally don't think we should even try to go for the theme or sound that they were, though. |

any stuff from DoW is a big no no, it's hard to pin music in 40k, a lot of people think it should be heavy metal or gothic, to be very honest when i play a game i turn the music off but then the game now-a-days don't use 80's style music --

Yeah i didnt mean to take stuff from DoW, i just meant try and re-create it a little. But i think music should be the last of our worries, maybe once we get working maps and a fully working mod. -- Looking for a mod team? You're in luck. Check out our mod page. |

That's great news. I think that it will just feel better to play the game with its own music. |

Music goes a long way to setting the mood for a game. UT has always had a variety of music, with a lot of it being energetic techno/industrial. This really fits the gameplay. The question really is what kind of mood do we want to set for this mod? Do we want it to be non-stop run-and-gun action? Do we want it to be sneak-and-snipe? Hunt-and-hack? Pray-and-spray? Wait-and-bait? I'm just starting to make stuff up, but the music needs to either compliment or contrast the tempo and energy of the game. When it all comes down to it, if someone comes along that is capable of making some original game music then it's really up to them how it's going to sound. All we can do is give a little bit of vague direction. I'm excited about the new sound guy. It'll be very interesting to see (or hear) what he comes up with. |

Personally, I always prefer a lotr type of orchestral feel, but that may be too much to ask for, or not fit the gameplay. |

Well both of the music guys i asked said they could do that "epic lotr" style music, so we shall see. BTW geo, which music guy is the one doing the work for us? -- Looking for a mod team? You're in luck. Check out our mod page. |
