Bombing Run 1.5 is now released and it's the best version yet! Warhead added ball launcher weapons in two themes: standard and nano black. This and many more features can now be set in the ball spawn actor properties! In the actor properties, you can set game speed, ball speed, global gravity per map, hoverboard and vehicles, and lots of other map specific options. The minimap has been redesigned for BR and looks great, even shows where your teammates are located.
LrdMidknight has a few BR maps coming and they look great. Mappers are doing all kinds of neat things with the goals, which was our vision from the beginning. Keep being creative as it makes the maps all the more interesting.

I'm back home at last. So it's time to resume work on the BR mod. I finished Heroes Of Anubis, so server admins should go to the Bombing Run page and grab the final version. I put up an official download page for the mod and fixed all the links on this site to exterminate older versions. If anyone has any good map ideas or conversion requests, holler at me. BR ver 1.5 should be coming soon, with super charged bot AI, and other bugs fixed such as the 5 bot crash bug.

Two more days and I get out of this hospital. I never want to see a hospital again! I'm learning php, and have decided this site needs another make-over. This time I'm gonna use php Fusion. The latest and greatest UT3 bombing run is available v 1.4b. We are getting real close to getting out of beta phase and having a proper release candidate. Warhead has done an outstanding job on this. Some would call it 'Mission Impossible' with all of the crap code he had to fix. I plan on creating more BR maps and other clans have already released some. Find them on the downloads page.
Also - Our UT3 gameserver is now being used as a bombing run beta server...so tell your clanmates and give it a try !!!

After 6 weeks in the hospital, and 2 surgeries, all is looking well. I hope to be going home around March 4th...2 more weeks. Bombing Run v 1.4b for UT3 should be available to the public very soon....and if it's bug free, it could become a release candidate! If you are a server admin, and want to help test the br mod online, contact relic or post in the forum about it.

The world is trying to knock me down again. Unfortunately, I developed osteomyelitis in my right hip. It's so advanced that the ball of my femur bone is gone and the hip joint is also infected. I'm hoping for a miracle, but the doctors say the leg must be amputated and the hip joint removed. Thus, I've been in the hospital for almost 4 weeks now waiting for surgery. Luckily a friend rented me a Dell Inspiron laptop that actually plays UT3 on low settings. So...that means development on the Bombing Run mod continues, as I am lucky to have free wireless net access from my bed LOL. That is why the site has not been updated in ages. I got the tools I need now to do it.
Download the BR Beta 3 mod for UT3 and come try out test servers. Voidy has one at 8.3.29.53 and we have one at 8.6.193.192 both on port 7777.

Just in time for the new year...Bombing Run is here for UT3 !! Major props WarHead...I knew you could pull it off, and in record breaking time haha. I wanna test a few things yet over my LAN, tie up a few little things, and hope to release the mod as a beta TODAY. I've played BR for ut200x for years now, and I can honestly say that this is much more fun and challenging than the old BR ever was. Pics below...
12/13/07
The UT3 DM server now patched to the official retail ver 1.1 patch...I don't trust betas lol. The BR mod is coming along great. The BR game type is working in the game no problemo. Warhead tells me he might have some working ball/goals soon. I can't wait to try it out on BR-HeroesOfAnubis !!! The map should be complete within two weeks, and I may make a demo movie soon.
12/06/07
The Bombing Run mod for UT3 is coming along. Warhead is working on the coding. The mod will have the female BR announcer sounds only, at least for the time being. Special thanks to Phil Dawson aka Hawk for helping convert our new BR goal model from UT2k4 to UT3. Anubis' BSP geometry is complete for the most part, and texturing is underway. Hopefully the map will be playable in a week or two. Until I have some working BR mod code, I am testing it as a CTF map, just to make sure that the bot AI is superb. If you want to track our progress, visit the 'Project Wormhole' link for lots of pictures of the work in progress.
Also a reminder for anyone who missed the news: The Reliquary UT3 DM server is now working perfectly. The beta patch from Epic resolved issues with hosting a server parked behind a NAT router. This means you can now simply join the server via the server browser. It is named 'Reliquary2DM'. Also, at the request of the folks at FileFront, this server may become their official DM server.
11/27/07
The first UT3 patch has been releaesd. It fixes tons of both server/client issues and game play bugs. One of Epic's fixes was support for servers behind NAT routers. The demo server just has too many issues to host, so I am installing the full dedicated server tonight. It will be running DM mode with mapvoting. Give it a spin, if anyone has trouble connecting please let me know, and try the old method of connecting instead (the 'open ip' console command)
Check the project wormhole link for progress on our BR mod : )
UPDATE: The DM server is now up and running great. In the UT3 server browser it is named Reliquary2DM. It hosts 8 players and at the moment no bots.

Happy Thanksgiving everyone! The Reliquary UT3 server is up and running nicely in warfare mode. Right now there is no webadmin, so I'm having problems making a maplist cycle with mapvoting. It will be resolved soon. In the meantime have fun playing the new version of Torlan. Also, if you have an Ageia PhysX card, and you are looking for those destroyable maps with the tornado, go to Ageia's site and download the Mod pack. It includes the intense Ageia UT3 maps. Here's a pic to drool over.

Gameservers.net has informed me that The Reliquary UT3 Warfare server will be online within the next 24 hours. 16 player slots - no lag - all welcome !
I also brought back the UT3 demo server for those who do not have the full game yet. To connect, visit the 'server' or 'UT3' links for instructions on how to connect.
Also check out Project Wormhole to see it's progress!

Relic has a new UT2004 map in the works, I just can't put the editor down lol. This was intended to be an oriental themed CTF map, and will be released as such. However I will make a second half-sized version of the same map for deathmatch play. This might be my best one yet! I have ran into one problem tho, and I bet the UT community can help me on this. I CAN'T DECIDE WHAT TO NAME IT ! Below is a screenshot of the work in progress. If you have ideas for a name, please email them to me. Someone's idea will end up being the name of the map.
On another note...I found a German site that claims to be providing the UT3 bombing run mod. BUT the last post on the guy's forum was January 2007 with no activity since then. I think his project may have been abandoned. Saying that, I still want to encourage the TR development team to press forward with our plans for a BR mod. The other screenshot below is a glance at UT3's warfare gametype. In this mode, you carry a sort of team 'orb' ... I envision this to be the nature of the new bombing run. #1 the animations already exist and #2 it's just way more cool than the old BR look. So warhead, please don't give out on me just yet!

TRBP 2.0 Beta is DONE. Grab it on the downloads or bonus pack pages. This includes all maps, mutators, and art. This is the last beta before a final release, and will be used for bug testing for a while. The pack comes packed with 16 maps, 3 new weapons, 3 new mutators, and over 20 new pickups.
The Reliquary Unreal Tournament ]|[ server will be online release day, according to the folks at gameservers.com. It will host 16 players lag-free, most likely running the Warfare game type.
10/30/07
ATTENTION: Clan {FS} is looking for talented UT3 players to join the clan. Sadly, only a few on {FS} intend on playing the new generation of the Unreal Tournament series. We have a practice server, hosted by the reliquary of course...and a 16 player gameserver coming on release day. If interested contact jay20 or relic.
The newest TRBP map addition is 99% complete...DM-TRBP-DiscoFeverBeta. It's already on our UT2k4 server running TAM at the moment. It's a map created by our new member, LordVipes. He passed the level on to me to finish up the disco club visual efx. It is our smallest, and most simplistic map - intended for 1 vs 1 play ... but it is fun none-the-less with the trippy visuals and cool music! One more map to finish up and the TRBP pack should be ready for a full release.
10/28/07
Pleased to announce the addition of LordVipes to the TRBP Dev team. With his addition to the team comes yet another map for the pack...DM-TRBP-DiscoFever - a 1 on 1 trippy deathmatch level. Vipes will also be leading his Evil Reincarnated ( ER ) conversion for UT3. I have agreed to help him with level design. He is recruiting developers, including maya modelers, programmers, mod-makers, conceptual art, etc. If interested in working with him on this mod for the 'Make something Unreal' contest, contact him on the forum. TRBP beta 2.0 coming soon...
10/23/07
The Reliquary Unreal Tournament ]|[ server has been purchased at gameservers.com. It will host 16 players and is located in Tampa Florida. The server will be running the new Warfare game type, which is basically onslaught and assault combined. The server will not be operable until release day. After it's up and running, we have it for 3 months. I hope some players will enjoy it enough to help donate what they can to help keep it running.
Also there is a new patch for the TRBP to upgrade to version 1.75b. It's only 261kbyte and may be required for some of you who have already installed the pack. You can download it here
BR-Anubis is stripped to nothing but BSP geometry/walls in preparation for it's UT3 remake. This will be the TRBP team's first UT3 project/mod...to bring bombing run back to the game !!!
10/20/07
New page added to review the Ageia PhysX physics accelerator card, explain what it does, and show a demo or two of the card in action.

For server administrators wanting to run a UT3 server, I have put together some very useful information under the UT3 link. Epic provided NO admin server assistance, and this is information that I have found through hours of searching forums and taking notes. This might be one of the best places to get answers for a while. Another great source of information is on the epic forum at this thread...http://utforums.epicgames.com/showthread.php?t=579536

The Reliquary servers will be down this morning. I am configuring a new AMD dual core server to handle multiple game servers. Hopefully all will work out well, and the new server will be hosting both UT2003 Bombing Run Demo and UT3 Demo VCTF.
10/13/07
The Reliquary Unreal Tournament ]|[ server is up and running. Same IP as the demo server...166.82.197.73
There are known issues with the demo server engine already - mainly connection lost issues. For now I think mine is running stable, though I could use all the test players I can find. Don't decline from installing the demo because you think your PC will not handle it. I found it to run way better than expected. Find the TR UT3 server in the DM gametype.
10/12/07
Get in line for the Unreal Tournament 3 Beta Demo for PC. Go to fileplanet.com and install their download manager. The beta can be reserved and will automatically download when available. For faster access you can also spend around $6 and subscribe to fileplanet - I think I will just wait in line.
10/11/07
Tons of new maps from the Unreal community have been added to our UT2004 server. I work over at filefront's UT200x files, so I come across great new material all the time. Most maps are DM and are running under both TAM and DM gametypes. TorlanNight has also been added to the onslaught maps...very popular map lately. Come one - come all and try the new stuff out!
Also, a brand new photo gallery has been installed on the site. The link is to the left 'Photo Gallery'. Nice thing about this gallery is it also allows users to upload videos and other multimedia content instead of only pictures. Register today to share your content!

The latest TRBP bonus pack version 1.7 beta has been released and is available for download. Just go to the downloads or bonus pack links to grab it. This is the full installer including all of the latest mutator/pickup/weapons code and fixes to some of the maps. Beta testers are in high demand, and the contents of the pack are running on the Reliquary UT2004 server. If any bugs are found, please report them to relic@relicsut.com . In other news...according to epic's Unreal Tournament 3 forum...we may have a PC demo in two weeks, and an official release date of 11/12/2007. The collector's edition of the game releases 11/19/2007. We do plan on hosting the demo, full version, or perhaps both as soon as they become available.
I may be getting an ISP upgrade to fiber optic broadband - 20mbit - within a month. When this happens, server pings will be incredible, and I will be able to host 2 additional servers locally...one of which will surely be Unreal Tournament 3 and possibly a Gears of War server : )
10/02/07
TRBP version 1.6b patch now available. The patch fixes all known bugs in the mutator and custom pickup coding. Thanks to WarHead for all of his hard work and making the most wicked mutators in the UT community. The 2004 server is running Team Arena Master V3, TAM is the server default gametype, but using mapvote ( x key ) you can also vote for other gametypes. The next TRBP release will be version 2.0 beta and will include all finished content. Special thanks to all who donated to the server. We actually have a credit of a few bucks, and the server is paid for thru the next 3 months.
