Though I would start a PS3 mods thread for this great game as Epic have now released there PS3 mod cooker software.

You have to have the full PC version to create a mod and it requires that patch 1.1 be installed.
The website detailing how to use these tools can be found here: http://udn.epicgames.com/Three/PS3Mods.html.

Download Mirrors for PS3 cooking software

Beyond Unreal: http://download.beyondunreal.com/fil...s3modtools.exe
PSN@Home:http://psnathome.com/download.php?view.56
Unreal Developers Network:http://udn.epicgames.com/Files/UT3/Mods/ps3modtools.exe

How to install mods on the PS3

1. Unzip the file to the root directory of any memory card that is readable by your PlayStation 3. It is already in the proper directory structure but, just in case, the path and filename need to be: ps3\savedata\blus30086-modimport\userdata.jam

2. Boot up Unreal Tournament 3 on your PS3

3. Go to the "Community" menu

4. Choose "My Content"

5. Press the [SQUARE] button to "Import Mod"

6. Follow the directions on the screen to import it from your memory device.

You can also download files from the PS3 browser see link for more details
http://www.ut3mod.com/2007/12/video-tutorial-downloading-and.html

At the moment i dont think you can just re-cook a PC mod to a PS3 one, think you would have to un-cook a PC one in the editor then re-cook for PS3, this is probably not a good idea without the permission of the creator.

Big thanks to all the websites mod creators i got this info from, especially this one http://www.ut3mod.com/

Narrow walkways run around the outer and inner edges of the building while a long tunnel cuts through the rock underneath it. A shield belt waits on the roof, a damage amplifier behind the statue, and a Redeemer can be found halfway down the tunnel."

Description: For being Warby's very first UT3 map, this thing is amazing. It has various levels that you can do battle on. Using the lifts and timing your jump right at the peak of the lift ascent can send you flying to the top of the tower, where you can grab the Redeemer to destroy your enemies below. Thanks Warby.

Schleicher writes, "Not my first map, but my first Ued3 map, so a word of warning first : This is made very much like an UT map, means pretty light on static meshes and pretty heavy on BSP altho the absence of 2dshape meant i couldnt go bonkers as much. Should run pretty good anyways."

Fighters should take care, as the plasma energy beams will become accessible through the ‘Fractal Portal’ if any of the yellow LED triggers on the floor are shot."

Mutators

Note if playing a game and you dont have a mutator it will be downloaded from the host.

Mutator - Vas UT3 AutoShields v1.1.0

autoshield.jpg



Mod Type: Mutator
Name: Vas UT3 AutoShields v1.1.0
Author: KalCorp
Website URL: http://vasserver.dyndns.org/vasdn/forums/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=2924&FORUM_ID=135
Size: 39.91 KB
Description: This mutator will give the players and bots shields. Shields will be +10 every second until maximum. If a player is hit, shield regeneration stops and will come back after 10 seconds of non fighting. Every hit to player makes the timer go down 3 seconds, slowing the reset of shields.
The Autoshield is tons of fun, and changes the gameplay a great deal. You will notice yourself hiding to allow the shields to regenerate. When using this mutator long and intense fire fights with many enemies is commonplace. Thanks KalCorp.


Mutator - Action Cam v1.0

PS3 DOWNLOAD LINK

Mod Type:Mutator

actioncam.jpg


Name:Action Cam v1.0
Author:Fall
Website URL: Fall ModDB
File Size:96kb
Description: Everybody wanted this MOD on the PS3. Thanks to Fall for cooking this to the PS3. During testing it briefly this morning it takes a little bit to get used to the new camera view. This mod changes the gameplay from First Person shooter to Over the Shoulder View. It adds a whole new dimension to the game.
Fall, the author, states,
" Action Cam is the first player-released mod of Unreal Tournament 3 to be playable on the PlayStation 3!
Play Unreal Tournament 3 from an over the shoulder view, like Gears of War or Mass Effect. This new camera view enhances the action and really brings you into the fight! Enter the battle with an over the shoulder camera and see the Action from an all new perspective! Action Cam is designed to offer better visibility, depth, and feedback to the player than the normal first person view, and offers pixel-perfect accuracy." Thanks Fall.

Mutator - Color Control Beta


Mod Type:Mutator
Name:Color Control Beta1
Author:Xyx
Website URL: http://utforums.epicgames.com/showthread.php?t=595358
File Size:65kb
Description:Gives the colors in the game a big boost. Can't wait to test this on the big screen. Give some feedback to the author at the Forum link above.
Xyx writes, "This mutator works by removing the Scene_Desaturation value in postprocessing volumes. This value is usually set at around 0.2 or 0.3, effectively draining up to 30% of the game's color, and it didn't have a whole lot to begin with..."
Thanks Xyx

do you see these extra maps in the server list if you not got it installed?

and if you do see them can you tell what maps are the offical ones and which isn't if your not used to the names?

i ask this because i presume this will take off big time and could get messy when wanting to play online and not knowing what you have installed or not.

When you look through game type it will show you which map they are currently playing on, if you dont have that map dont play. Also you vote on which map next after each round , at least the servers ive been on thats the case. With mutators though if the host has them like i said you will download them, there mostly all under 100k so nothing to slow things down to much.
 
McManicMan said:
i see, so there is no real identification of what maps are included with game and whats a downloaded map apart from the Map name and if you not got that you have to go and find it?
Click to expand...

They look the same at the moment, but the midway dedicated servers only ever seem to use original maps. I just tried to join a game that i didnt have the map for, i think the bloke was just testing it out as there was only him on the server, when i tried to play it mentioned something like this map is not available. I guess this may mean than it will down load the maps if you need them as long as they are available to download, a lot of this is conjecture at the moment as most of the servers have a too higher ping for me to connect to until the EU game is released.
 
As the EU version is out today thought id stick a link to a nice new mod, its a Lego map with destructible environments, its pretty cool.

Link to site with Download, info and some videos.
http://www.gameblews.com/?page_id=11303

This mod is one of the first with an EU design mod in. One thing to note the EU mods are put in a different folder to the US ones, so if you unpack this into a US game it wont find it. The folders auto extract with the correct structure so for the US one its,
PS3\SAVEDATA\BLUS30086-MODIMPORT (note all upper case)
And for the EU
PS3\SAVEDATA\BLES00200-MODIMPORT (again all upper Case)

So those with the EU version, when you download a US mod you will have to move file to the EU directory and vica versa for the US.

One of the best Mod sites to use is still http://www.ut3mod.com/

They have over 70 maps in total from DM to onslaught and also several mutators and game modes, these i think are all US ones so EU people use the folder structure above.
 
Lol look at this game play mod, not just a new map but whole new gameplay!
Hands down, just like what Epic Games head honcho Mark Rein says all the time, Unreal Tournament is more about the mods than frantic first-person shooter out of the box. The most recent user-created mod we came across, called UT2D Super Mario, flipped Unreal Tournament 3 to 2D and took the novel idea further by setting it on a very familiar backdrop.

As you would have guessed by now, the mod in question is the original Super Mario Bros. revived in Unreal Tournament 3. Created by FrontAXL, UT2D Super Mario is a 2D map complete with NES Mario elements such as power-up blocks and classic sound effects. It's currently in beta stage, but playable enough to quench your thirst for 2D blood baths.

UT2D Super Mario is available for both Sony PS3 and PC versions of Unreal Tournament 3. You can download it from the release thread which you can find by clicking on the "via" link, or watch footage embedded below.
