Arrr.. Real Pirates

TheMuffinMan

<div class="IPBDescription">Air Buccaneers</div> For the majority that dont know, Air Buccaneers is a mod for UT2004 based on Pirates and Giant Air Balloons, which makes this post appropriate as this is national pirate day.

The developers have just played a five round game with a select team of players and hosted the <a href='http://ludocraft.oulu.fi/airbuccaneers/download/ToT_Demos.zip' target='_blank'>demo</a> on their site. For those of you that are interested in watching a match of AirB, or simply have time to kill, this is a pretty good download as it really shows how much teamwork can be put into a single game. It is a pretty hefty 200mb and will only work with the actual game, much like in half life, but it is pretty interesting and lets you view the game from all angles.

This looks nifty, I must say. I'm still waiting for a UT2K4 Paintball mod though...

well air bucaneers has been posted before but these demos are new, thankies =3

question is, how do you run the demo thingies? Where do you put them? What do they taste like? ^^;

Look in your UT2004 directory and create a file called "Demos" if it is not there already. Now place all 5 files in there and start UT2004. Go to the community tab and under demos should be the five files.

The first 5 minutes of one the LakeInari one are missing, which is a shame because that was also the best part of the match. Half a dozen smaller ships ambushed a battleship and its escort, sending a wave of rockets (long range weapons) their way. Very cinematic moment as the entire crew tried desperately to shoot down the rockets and return fire, but for everyone one rocket shot down, a dozen got through the
line of musket fire and wrecked firery death among the ships.

edit: I think you need to have the mod in question installed, though i'm not sure.

"Download the mod in question so you can download the demos to see if you want to download the mod in question."

Nice.

Errg! Is there any version of this video that's actually something I can view without having to buy UT2k4 first?

Not yet, the match actually happened about 4 and a half hours ago and the only version released is the rough recording. The advantage of this, however, is that it can be viewed exactly as if you were a spectator, allowing for different views.

I think a "highlights" version is probably going to be made soon, with voice-over commentary from some of the players being possibly added.

Must control self, I'm a good little suburban boy...

All in all, AB was a fun mod. Although all the servers I played on lacked teams that understood "team work", so I was kind of manning my own ship 80% of the time. D:

Aye, for teamwork you need to connect past 7 EET, as that is when most of the regular players hop on for a few hours.
