The version I have (dot's version) doesn't have easily accessible difficulty options (and neither do most custom maps). Also, I doubt it'd fix some things, such as the superhealth in the second map. But anyway, I got it to see how different it was to release version, and it is extremely good in that regard.

Open mapname?difficulty=3 for example.

But still a conversion does not represent difficulty in the real beta, where used to be a different damage system and the pawns had different health.

Like said in previous post, I did not download beta for any particular difficulty reason. I just want to see how different it is. However, maybe I'll try that anyway. Thanks.

This command is for the conversion damnit, do you understand me? Just open it with a command :
"Open mapname?difficulty=3"

Not trying to be a judge here, but could you please calm down and actually read what people are saying, Mick.B? I guess Skaarj22 perfectly understood what you meant to say but isn't interested in actually executing the command, because he didn't download the beta for the difficulty but for the differences between the released Unreal maps and their beta counterparts!

I am calm, it was a more of a joke than anything. And he's posted it before I edited the last message so.
Originally I had there only:
Open mapname?difficulty=3 for example.


And you ARE trying to be a judge here. :P
[size=0]I am still joking, don't take that too personally then. :P[/size]

sana is right tho. Be careful when you joke like that, since a lot of people can take it the wrong way.

As for teh beta.. it has some things that the conversions don't have, like the nali priest (beta skin & speech) and the chameleon for example..

I remember reading an article a long time ago on Electronic Gaming Monthly magazine where about 3/4ths of all developed content for HL2 in Valve's headquarters was hacked-out, stolen, and swiped away therefore delaying their development time. :P No idea if it was leaked.

Hehe... I'm a major fan of Half-Life and Half-Life 2. From what I know, I think it forced them to throw out a lot of their original work.[/quote]

It was leaked, Infact it gained quite an upstir. I still remember the days when everyone around me was passing around copies of it.

and its not uncommon for game alpha's/beta's to leak out, the valve incident involved them not securing their files properly :P But probably the most common leak is with video card/hardware vendors that often get a pre-alpha release to optimize the game/video card with eachother (this way quake2/quake3 was leaked aswell, by ati employees i believe). Or just the promotion team going out for a snack during an expo ;)

I should probably mention that none other then Bill Gates has an early copy of unreal aswell, as was mentioned in the Gamespot "blinded by reality" article iirc :P

Yes, the HL2 leak.. I thought I read somewhere that they caught the guy. (They invited him.. and arrested him at the airport when he arrived)

As for Unreal copy for Mr. Gates.. yeah, I read about that as well. And that it was a BIG beta or something and that a lot was cut from it. Dunno if that's all true (how would they know?)....

Yep, that one is true. Is the latest beta of Unreal, having stuff of any sort.

lol, now there's one beta that will never be leaked. Bill gates has robotic security guards patrolling his property right? At least they will be running windows, when they start going into infinite loops we'll have a chance to swipe this BETA from him.

still..........
