I debated whether to show this off publicly, because it has some spoilers about the direction UE3 is taking. But in the end I decided to show it anyway.

A brief description of what this is about: in UE3, the player will have some "User Powers" like Flynn did in the original TRON film. This preview demonstrates the power to steal other programs' faction colors. This will allow you to temporarily blend in and move around freely, without being attacked. But if you attack another program, even while disguised, the effect will wear off.

Understand that this is an early, rough test. It will probably be refined a bit, later on.

Morning chaps

That's really cool - I'd definitely be interested in developing that idea with you as we go.

Cheers

TronFAQ, Now I see what you were talking about earlier when we were discussing some of the textures I was converting and features abandoned for the release of Tron 2.0!

Just to be clear, I didn't find and enable some secret function that was abandoned in the game code. Nothing like that. I just found a way, within the limitations of the game and its engine, to create an experience where you can steal other programs' identities. Or, more accurately, do something where you can have the AI leave you alone. Unless you provoke them.

The idea for this particular power, though, was indeed inspired by unused assets in the game. It's certain that, at some point, Monolith wanted to include what I guess would have been a subroutine to disguise yourself. There were other subroutines cut, too. But none of them looked particularly inspiring. Disguise is the only "cool" idea that got left on the cutting room floor. Sadly.

The remaining User Powers (there are going to be three more, I think), were inspired by other sources. I'm pretty sure two of the three remaining powers will also work out. But one I'm not so sure about. Need to create another small test level like this one, at some point.

Short preview trailer showing cutscene by me from what will possibly be the first level of UE3. This is not 100% final, but the level is probably about 95% complete. Took me around 3 months to make the entire level (not just the cutscene).

The cutscene goes on for much longer, but for the moment I don't want to show any more because it will spoil too much! :)

This screenshot gallery video contains MINOR SPOILERS for User Error 3.

Some of it, you've seen before. Most of it, you haven't. A mix of screenshots from older previews, and some of the latest progress that has been made in UE3. The project is proceeding slower than anticipated, so we thought we'd put up some screenshots to show it's still alive and moving forward.

Is that MY Sark Carrier I spotted in that Vid at 1:56 seconds?!! Looks as if the old girl is rezed up in full pursuit mode I see, as her extended air foils are deployed for stability.

I AM SO EXCITED!! I THINK AM...

Win3K will have to answer that, he took the screenshot. But yeah, it does look like your Carrier is going to be used in UE3. T-)

If so, I'll make sure to add the appropriate credit.

No worries FAQ, not really needed my friend!

...to be 100% honest, I am just thrilled; literally; beyond words that someone out there liked my Sark Carrier model work enough to want to use it for a project of there own in some way or other.

Seriously thanks guys, that honestly made my day.

You know I love you guys for keeping on with the User Error mod.
I'm promoting it on Facebook every chance I get, of course.
It's the most prolific writing credit I have out on the net so far and I owe it all to you guys!

Forever Grateful...

I decided to open a DeviantArt account today. Been meaning to do it for a while. I posted the same screenshots I uploaded to ModDB (along with Win3K's), on the DeviantArt account.

The latest UE3 video has a lot more screenshots, so if you want to see all the ones we made then check out the video instead.

Since things have been really slow in the world of Tron fandom and around here lately . . . here's a test video of something I decided to make public.

A User Error 3 preview trailer showing off tests of new custom made character arm, skin, and weapon recreations from the Xbox version of the game.

UE3 is the upcoming third chapter of a fan-made Single Player expansion by the LDSO team and other members of the fan community. Special thanks to Kain-Xavier for his contributions to the UE3 and Killer App Mod projects!
