Unreal level viewer

Postby JackGriffin » Thu Jun 14, 2012 1:44 pm

In learning about the way the editor engine works I stumbled across this:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/ushock/

I hadn't seen it before but I tested it on win7 64 bit and it works fine. In effect it's a level previewer that spawns a window on your screen that lets you fly around inside the map and look at it. There is no HUD or extras, it's just purely map exploration. I'm not sure if anyone would have use of it but I thought it a neat thing to share.
/away for now.

No, just an unlit, no-clip fly-through.

It's an interesting little utility. When designing maps, I typically open up other levels for inspiration. Running windowed, this can come in handy for that purpose.
Thanks for the share.

Yes this is a handy little Unreal viewer. And thankfully fairly recent, so it can open newer maps.
I use it to view UT2K4 maps mostly, as it saves me a lot of time, not having to open either the main prog or UEd3.

You can't see everything but you get a good idea of the map.
