BTB Airlines is an action packed vehicle deathmatch mod placed in large "Rats" style maps, powered by Serious Engine 1. The mod features advanced physics implemented using ODE (Open Dynamics Engine). ODE not only enables detailed vehicle physics, but also features such as ragdolls, dozens of movable items, bullets that are modeled as actual flying projectiles and per-polygon hit detection. The final release includes 4 cars and 3 airplanes which can be blown up with 7 different weapons, and of course the first manipulator ever to appear in a multiplayer game!
Well, this is kind of old news, just keeping this up to date. The final version that was released was v1.03, and you can download the full thing here: Files.seriouszone.com
You may want to read the instructions.
So, the mod won't be updated anymore (suprise!), but for other interesting productions visit Cad-creations.net
Not long after the release and bug reports, CAD creations has released the v1.01 patch for BTB airlines. This patch fixes various bugs and glitches. Changes...
Well, we have finally released it! :) The mod is available for download, but be sure to read this before playing. There still are some issues, but a patch...
Yess, that day is near... the day of the BTB airlines release. Altho it has some problems, we're releasing it. 06/13, somewhere between 22:00 and 24:00...
Hello once again! As the release of BTB airlines is coming near(13.06.2004.), we decided to put together a short teaser. It's nothing special, but watch...
lol
I want to play it online, but it seems there no servers. Too bad, because mod is G.R.E.A.T. It even includes scelethal animation! I played it with my friend over LAN/modem several years ago and it was very fun. Magnetic mines is the main feature of the mod, but it would be better if they remained for a longer period of time.
Anyway if anyone wants to play it through Internet just write here. Maybe I could host a server sometimes.
Is anyone actually still playing this ?
This mod is awesome, more people should play it.
Is somewere any additional maps to this mod? I didn`t find any. -sorry for my eng..
(continued from the previous post)
It was really a fun experience to work on this mod. We had tons and tons of fun testing out various things, and discovering all the things that weren't initially planned, but are side-effects of the implemented physics. I'll list just some of them(if you still haven't figured em out):
car(nissan) + lots of magnetmines(repel) in the back = nice boost
magnetmine(repel) + magnetmine(attract) placed directly beneath you (you must be quick) = you hover in the air
These are just some of the fun things you can do.
BTB airlines is now a far past for us, in one moment we were planning to make a stand-alone sequel to it, but life took us in separate directions(and our coder was hired by a gamedev studio, so modwork can get you places :P )
Cheers all
Well, i cannot believe this is still played after all these years. We would thank all who played this, it makes us glad that we've provided some entertainment to you.
The real shame is that Serious Sam netcode was really restricting and didn't gave our coder(asko) lot of room to do some workarounds. Bad netcode means death to any half-serious mp based mod.
It's also a shame that SS modding community took a quick downfall, all of the projects that had potential were dying really quickly, and only few have made it to actual release.
i only want more weapons and vechs other than that ill play it sounds like fun
ALL! LETS PLAY ITT!!!! ALL GO TO SAME SERVER!! HAVE FUN!! GET UR FRIENDS TOO!!! ALL BUY SS:secound encounter FOR 10 or 5$ BUY!!! U WILL ENJOY MOD!!!! AAAAAARRRHHHHH!!#!!!#@#$%^@$^!!@#$!$!@#
Looks great. I'll give it a try.
