Some New Year goodies for you: my brushbuilders have been recompiled for Tribes Vengeance and Postal 2. You'll find them on the downloads page under "other games".
My brushbuilders have been recompiled for UT2004. Thanks to ja8t3d. There's also a UMOD version that installs all three packs, courtesy of rlbond. You can find them on the downloads page.
I've been informed by dandeloreon1984 that he's recompiled my tools for Unreal 2 XMP. You can find them on the downloads page.
I thought this was just spam when I checked my email today. But it seems someone saw the diagrams of the spiral stair builder and didn't quite get what it was about.

Thanks to ZxAnPhOrIaN for compiling the Extended Brushbuilders Pack for UnrealEd 3. Go grab it from the downloads page.
The Unreal Wiki was one year old yesterday. And I've redesigned this site. Yeah, it's a sort of pistachio colour. Dark colours are so last year. I've added new download mirrors for the packs.
As requested by Doc_EDo, here's the Extruder builder recompiled for UnrealEd 3: Download tarquinextrudebuilder080a.zip from FilePlanet. I've noticed the menu above is about as useful as (insert cliché here), so I guess I'll have to work on a Mk3 design of this site. I doubt it'll be anytime soon though, so you're stuck with the links at the foot of the page.
Unreal Tomorrow is running a feature on the Jailbreak mod, and today they're interviewing me! Apparently, I'm like "steak cooked in the microwave". Interesting!
Thanks again to Slick Willy for the following installation instructions for the 100a pack:

Many thanks to Slick Willy, who writes to inform me that he's recompiled the Tarquin Brushbuilder Pack for use with UnrealEd 3. Let's call it version 100a. I still haven't got my hands on UT2003 (anyone wishing to send me forty quid ... ;-) when I do, I'll try to tidy up what's sitting on my hard drive and release, hm, well, version 101turnip or something.
I haven't got UT2003 yet, just the demo, so I haven't had a chance to
get to grips with the brave new world of mapping. I'd appreciate a line
(or heck, post on my forum) from anyone who knows if my brushbuilder
packs work with UnrealEd 3. More importantly — with static meshes and
Maya, are the custom brushbuilders still useful?
A load of custom brushbuilders have sprouted up in the last six months
or so: see the list on
the Unreal Wiki.
Yes the site looks lousy. A bag of doubloons to anyone who can work out why the line "background: #006;" in the stylesheet has an effect on the page from my hard drive, but not on the identical page fed from the server.
The new & improved brushbuilders are going well. There's a slim
chance they'll be out before UT2k3 hits the shelves.
In other news, the Unreal Wiki
has recently welcomed its 50th contributor. Finally, my revamp of
Daikiki's classic Jailbreak map LostFalls is going well.
New site design – site forum hosted at BeyondUnreal – unhappy events in
personal life – beta release of my first map for UT jailbreak, JB-Pressurized.

Build 080 of the Extrude Builder is released. This adds a couple of extra commands, a new extrude type which I'm not sure is terribly good but what the heck, it was only 4 lines of code, and a randomising thingy. This last feature will make rough brushes for caves and things. I've also somewhat revamped the list of things to avoid, which is now on its own page, all-singing, all-dancing with pictures in fabulous technicolor.
Build 078 of the Extrude Builder is released. This adds a whole load of
features.
Also, parts 2 and 3 of the tutorial are now available.
I'm releasing build 075 of the Extrude Builder, which most notably adds
preset shapes. This should make it a little easier to use.
There's also now a tutorial which will
guide you through the first steps in using this tool. I hope this will
give some idea of what is possible with it.
Welcome to Tarquin's UT page, now hosted by PlanetUnreal. It's just a
couple of months since I launched the Tarquin BrushBuilder Pack on an
unsuspecting UT editing community, and it's certainly generated a lot
of interest. Members of the PlanetUnreal forums often post screenshots
of UEd to a thread, and lately they've all had those four little purple
icons in the toolbox – I just don't get tired of seeing that!
I've delayed the launch of the site at PU for some time, to get the new
stuff ready...

Builds a cube with skewing options. |

Builds wavy terrain. |
This is still at the experimental stage. I'm confident that it works in the way it's supposed to, but I'll say this now: it doesn't win any awards for ease of use. Having said that, go get!
 |
Builds anything (almost!) |
If I may say so myself, the holy grail of Unreal editing. (Well, maybe that's a little much. See for yourself.)
The update of the original Tarquin Brush Builder Pack is still on the way! Stop by the plans page to see forthcoming features. If you've emailed me suggesting something, chances are it will be included.
