DM-Gen][

If you're looking for the original version of the map for Unreal, you might want to check Skaarj Generator.

DM-Gen][ is a Deathmatch map from Unreal Tournament. It's a semi-official post-release addon map created by Cedric 'Inoxx' Fiorentino, as well as an Ownage map.

Map description[]

The map is a Deathmatch adaptation of the Skaarj Generator level from Unreal by its original author. It's an enclosed arena with an energy reactor in the middle of the map. The reactor can be walked at almost any area, however the players must take care when walking around the central beam, as it has fatal consequences.

The reactor contains three supports, which we're going to name, for description purposes, Northwest Support, Northeast Support and South Support. In addition, from the reactor, three more braces sustain the ring around the reactor: North Ring Support, Southwest Ring Support and Southeast Ring Support. Each ring support also faces a jumppad.

In addition to the absence of monsters and the weapon/item placement, there're no switches in the reactor core, instead it was turned into a spawnpoint.

Tips and tricks[]

Most of the action will happen in two places: in the lower floor around the health packs and the Keg, and in the trip to the upper level for the weapons. Arm yourself before engaging in any battles.
All the health packs are located in the lower floor, forcing you to drop from the upper levels in order to heal yourself.
On the opposite end, each of the braces that sustain the Generator have either an Armor item or the Damage Amplifier. Both can be accessed via running (from the floor side) or dodging (from the reactor's side).

Trivia[]

Author's notes[]

"This Level was part of the Skaarj MotherShip in the original Unreal. I decided to convert it to a Deathmatch Level later. Now I release a UT version of this Classic Level."

– Inoxx's website^[1]

Accolades[]

The map was the 15th. UT map to receive Cliff Bleszinski's blessing. Cliff's comments about the map are straight and to the point:

"What did you think I was going to say? Inoxx did it! Of course it's going to own. Would you expect anything less from the mastermind behind CTF-Face?"

– Cliff Bleszinski^[2]
