The Perfect Dark mod is a UT modification based on Perfect Dark (N64). The basic premise is to combine the style and power of UT with the massive content of Perfect Dark, while at the same time improving upon PD's blatant errors (i.e., slow, cumbersome movement) and maybe adding (optional) new features. While the PD weapons will be, for the most part, true to the originals, some allowances must be made. For example, UT has no built in "Action" button (for opening doors, reloading, etc.) so this functionality must be built in using similar effects. The maps are true to the original, as much as can be, but cannot be perfect renditions. Some scaling issues have been uncovered in certain maps, as well as some questions of physical feasability. All in all, the maps are accurate representations of what once was... Movement speeds and accelerations are not quite addressed yet. Any Perfect Dark fan can tell you that you moved faster when strafing instead of just walking forward....

Greetings. I've really been trying hard to keep on-task and make some major strides towards another release. I'd really love to release right now, but something inside is telling me I should wait for the perfect moment. Anywho, here's an (incomplete!) list of the major changes in store

Greetings.

I've really been trying hard to keep on-task and make some major strides towards another release. I'd really love to release right now, but something inside is telling me I should wait for the perfect moment.

Anywho, here's an (incomplete!) list of the major changes in store for BetaV3:

- Mod menu eliminated
- No slot mutator
- Weapon configuration through Settings tab
- Eliminated PDFX.utx file
- New UMOD install module
- King of the Hill gametype
- Ladder support (not implemented)

The one on that list I'd most like to call attention to is the elimination of the mod menu. In the past, I really hoped at some point that the mod could be confiigured through the standard game start dialogs, and now it can! And now, there's one less item to clog up your mod menu...

Also in store is another map, PD-Base, plus more on the way, thanks to a few generous people who are now helping the cause...

Stay cool!
