LINUXGAMES

BeyondUnrealhas posted an IRC log from a chat they conducted this past week with Epic Games about Unreal Tournament 3; among thequestions and answers was this exchange:

{uX}l`VampyrCeil: Is the Unreal Editor really going to be available for Macand Linux users this time around? Also, will it be able to import/exportfrom/to third-party applications (specifically Blender 3D)?

[Epic]DrSiN: I don’t believe there are plans for a Mac/Linux editor.
[Epic]DrSiN: Jeff?
[Epic]IctusBrucks: the editor imports .ase files for static mesh geometry
[Epic]IctusBrucks: the editor can export static meshes as .obj or .stl, so anyprogram that can read those formats and export .ase can work well withUE3
[EPIC]WarTourist: Dunno…linux game exe in the box and mac version soonafter. Not sure how the editor works

The game’s predecessor, Unreal Tournament 2004, also included the Linuxclient/server binaries on the retail disc.

Moreover, 1up.comhas a new article looking at the first-person shooter’s vehicles.
