WANTED - Bombing Run

[BioHaZarD]

Well, since it was said few months ago that that would be done, I open a thread for all the ball runners and lovers of Bombing Run.
I really hope someone with the right skills will be able to port it to UT3.

Thanks

[Xero]

If they do I'll make sure to stay clear of it. Sorry but I never liked BR that much. It always felt like a gametype that could have been more enjoyable if only they had made it a little bit different.

[woooo]

With help probably lol, might have to use the orb for the br ball

Although I'm just an occasional (or casual) mapper, but I'd be willing to help out in any way that I could with a project like this. I've really grown to love IG BR and I'm looking forward to playing it in UT3. With a properly done mod that is. A poorly done mod would just put most people off. I (and most IG BR would agree) would rather wait a while longer to insure game play matches the rest of UT3.

I'm sure we could come up with a suitable bomb. As opposed to the orb. =)

I suspect that a UT3 Bombing Run would feel very different from UT 2003/2004 Bombing Run, and that might be a good thing. I think it's a fun concept, but in UT 2003/2004 the game was so hitscan oriented and floaty dodgey that players with merely average aim and reaction didn't have much fun playing it. There's a reason why the only games that really succeeded in UT 2004 were Onslaught, Invasion, and maybe DM. (I don't know too much about the DM scene, so I can't say.)

In light of that, it's quite possible that a UT3 Bombing Run might be successful.

We definitely need this mod again in UT3. Actually I think it's good for the mod that Epic decided not to implement it anymore, if someone with the right skills decided to make this again, and can stay active with the community, we can change this mod to the needs of the community! (look at tam). IMO, better custom than retail.
I am aware of the people that will never play BR just because it will be custom, but the real BR-players will get it, I'm sure. And ofcourse there is this kind of forums for promoting the mod.

I always preferred the DeathBall mod rather than BR itself.

I'm definately willing to contribute whatever skills/ time/ efforts necessary to make UT3 BR happen. I'm pretty decent in UED, I've made quite a few maps for BR ut2004, and am one of the few that still play BR religously.

The way i see it is that there would need to be a few people involved.

Someone who can model the gun, ball, and goals. Have good reference material from ut04, just a matter of recreating with all the pretty texture/model/shader effects that ut3 supports. I'm guessing one modeller could probably tackle this.

Existing CTF maps in UT3 may work well for BR, but don't know until they're played. Maybe 3 mappers?

From a coding standpoint, BR is based off of CTF, this same path could hold true for UT3 BR. maybe 2 coders?

that's a total of 6 people. Are there 5 more people out there who want to give this a go??

[Taboen]

I would porcup but I suck with the editor and all that stuff.
Maybe an idea to create an irc channel like #ut3.BR - for bringing back BR to UT3? Answerring questions and taking notes to improve the mod, and also to find the 6 people we are looking for here.

[Necros]

I really hope someone with the right skills will be able to port it to UT3.

Thanks

This is what I'm hoping for too. At first I didn't really like BR but than I've started playing some matches and fell in love. My favourite map is BR-RomraMoonStation2K4. I just can't stop playing on that one, it's so much fun, especially with InstaGib.

Thanks for everyone who'll try to make it happen!

bombing run was the best. I loved the fact that you had the random bloodsport of UT and additionally something resembling the sport of basketball. I remember many fond instant action matches with friends and godlike bots where it took 3 hours to score 1 goal on the damn bots. good times. I SERIOUSLY hope someone makes a great mod of BR

Crossing my fingers.

[specialsymbol]

I want a BR mode as well.. some levels were just great in BR.

[JimRimya]

I would love to see a BR mod. I've been playing BR longer than any other gametype, and hate to see it gone, although it's not a deal killer for me. I still play a lot of VCTF and ONS as well.

[thinsoldier]

I loved bombing run. Still do. But after playing the DeathBall mod BR just wan't so great to me anymore (but I still play it).

A combination of the Deathball announcer and a few features and some adjustments to the basic bombing run game mechanics would be a damn fun game type.

Well, now BR is gonna be a custom not retail mod, this is actually possible! That's what I love about custom Just go to www.bombingrun.org wait for them to bring it out (I'll post here too when it's finished) and on the forum suggest an addition to the mod, for example your deathball announcer(dunno what it is ) and other additions.

[relic74]

we're making the br mod now, go to www.relicsut.com under the project wormhole link.

Bombing Run Progress Update:

The code is working great. Scoring system, ball spawn, goal collisions all working. Work is being done on the HUD at the moment, and I might have some working BR code very soon from warhead - the genius programmer bring ya'll the mod.

The remake of Anubis, "Heroes Of Anubis" , is practically done. I'm just waiting on the code so I can add the BR actors. As soon as we have a beta ready, it will be running on several servers for evaluation.

Merry Christmas everyone!

On behalf of huge BR fans everywhere, thanks a lot for what your doing relic.

I know theres not that many of us, but those of us that do love BR and understand why its such a great game mode really appreciate you bringing it to UT3.

sorry guys i foundent none to help me
i think so relic will release it by now but i wish he puplish it not over shes private page - better way its www.bombingrun.org

[FlamingCat]

This would be great. I honestly think that the low-grav, 1.35 speed games in UT2k3 were some of the best games I ever played. Even participated in some clan action in those days. Things felt weird in 2k4.

I'll be interested to try out this BR mod. If it's as enjoyable as the legacy it's trying to live up to, I'd like to contribute with some maps. Whether remaking older maps (like twin tombs) or contributing new ideas, I can help. I prefer instagib so wouldn't be good at weapon placement and might need assistance with that.

Your mod will definitely be something I'll keep my eye on. Keep up the work as it looks good!

[Zanto$]

look forward to this mod greatly loved the original could not see why it never made this version.
I think on consoles BR would go down a treat being sport orientated

keep up the good work

Catzenjaeger, if we had suitable beta code available, trust me...it would already be out. Understand that this is not an easy task. There are only two people working on this mod - Warhead and myself.

Instead of directing everyone to your site, where there is no information about our mod, why not support us and tell people where they can find out much more about our progress.

everything about the mod, from pictures to progress, can be found on http://relicsut.com under the project wormhole link and on our forum at http://relic74.proboards98.com/index.cgi.

As soon as we have a presentable beta, it will be available and running on a few test servers.

Much appreciation to everyone who is supporting us. It really makes creating the mod worth-while and makes us work even harder

[elgourmet]

thanks for your great efforts, relic! cant wait to play this mod
