Airport
Airport
DM-Airport
This is not really a playable UT map, per se, as it is way too big to be easily navigable. This is more of an example of civic architecture created after studying modern airport designs from around the world and also all of the UT airport maps I could find. I tried to make this map resemble and function more like what a real airport might look like in the UT world.
This is your final boarding call...

EDIT:
PS. I almost forgot to mention, thanks to the authors of several other Airport themed maps that helped research and inspire this one, including "Airport Terror" 2000 by Werner Poetzelberger, "Doomed Airport" 2000 by Mark Hurst, and "[BBST] Airport" 2005 by R@dius.
Although I couldn't get BBST Airport to run (it kept crashing, maybe the NTSB can look into it) I was however able to pull up a screen shot from the MyLevel package. Thanks R@dius.

Re: Airport
I'm sure die-hard snipers would love it, and I know at least 1 person who might consider it a pathing challenge due to the size.
Auto merged new post submitted 2 hours 55 minutes later
My initial comment was on you saying the map is ginormous (a slight but accurate paraphrase) but I've since let the bots have a run at it.
The terminal itself is huge, but the runways and the surroundings are massive to the point of insanity.
Not even sure why it needed an underground tram, but it has that too.
Most of the action, from pathing, seems to stick to the main terminal as bots run through it and under it in a fairly consistent loop.
Oh, and sorry I couldn't find you (or make) a stewardess skin for this. Although the bodysuit works well enough.
Overall, a good map. Find a sniper rifle and you can setup outside the terminal at the extreme range and pick off players in the terminal.
Only flaw I found, and I'm not even sure if it is one, is I think the Bunny Heads on the Playboy plane are supposed to be facing in the same direction... forward.

Re: Airport
Yes, I started mapping back in April of 2001 (late starter). My first map was DM-Pawns.
Before that I designed levels for AD&D Forgotten Realms Unlimited Adventures developers kit (FRUA), Jack Nicklaus Golf & Course design, and a bunch of DOS and Visual BASIC stuff, Conaga, Chicagopoly, Attack Sub, junk like that.
I was in a clan called clan [IP] "International Protocallers", my tag was [IP][J].
We only had a few guys (one girl) and 2 servers. One in Japan administrated by Radius (a different R@dius), and one administrated by myself in Texas.
It seems like that was the golden era of Unreal. Our sister clan was KoR (Klan of Rebels) and we used to stay up all night playing Zahltag, Unreal City, and Enter the Matrix, for years, until everything kind of fizzled out in 2006. That's when we closed our servers.
Interesting how of all the Unreals, UT99 still has a handful of players.
Quick question, what does BBST stand for? I've seen it around for a long time but never knew what the letters meant.
Is R@dius still around? That guy has a pretty impressive portfolio of maps to his credit. I particularly like that Ski or Die! Very cool map!
Is BBST still online?
Do you still play online?
Thanks again

Re: Airport
Thank you for all this informations
So happy to read "UT Old-player" 's story
We have played all night for years too !
I remember that i play on KoR maps ... but don't remember names
UT99 had everything we wanted :
can be started on all computers easily
can be modified (rules, maps, skins ...)
can be hosted and managed by players (the first BBST server was hosted on my bedroom)
Epic had created exactly the game we wanted
B for Ben@r@ison (me)
B for Bust@p@t@tor
S for Squ@l@tor
T for Tr@x
The 4 founders (and real life friends)
B@bySitter quickly join us and we change the definition to Bad Boy Sniper Team
(B@bySItter was in [AMLP] clan before joining us )
AMLP was the team we were closest to (founders are french like us) - You know this clan ?
We meet us in UT99 but we worked together in our real life job (some AMLP and BBST players)
We have organised Lan party 2004 - 2005 - 2006 with all the BBST clan (20 players i think) it was sooooo funny
We only played sniper camper mod
I'm so impressed by all the maps he has created (and which are still played)
But my 13 years old son like UT99 and the story of old players
So i prepare a sniper server (not only camper) and i will re-open it in few days (with teamspeak server too)
And you ? You still play online ?
You still have contact with old clan mates ?
Which game mod you prefer ?
Have a good day

Hello [BBST]BenARAison,
I don't want to intrude in this discussion but BBST is a legendary clan with legendary sniper maps.
I just want to report a UT99 Sniper Community discord channel where you could find old friends, new maps and tournaments for sniper camping community.
Please, take a look at it. Thanks.
https://discord.gg/KCjZdnPsPg
best regards,
Pietro

Re: Airport
Was he the one that made all or most of the BBST maps? Because if so he might be worth tracking down.[BBST]BenARAison wrote: ↑Fri Mar 08, 2024 5:14 amR@dius was a real life friend too but he moved to another town and we have lost contact
He's got an account on another forum I follow but hasn't posted in forever. Dropped him a message to see if he's still playing.

I seldom play online anymore, unless I'm curious about looking at a new map. I still like making maps once in a while, just to keep the neurons firing
We still keep in touch with a couple of old clan mates (once every few years it seems) [IP]Shaggy, Ace, from the Netherlands, and [KoR]Rick from Seattle.
We are all old timers now, some with kids. A few grandparents probably.
My favorite mod was probably Unreal For Ever (U4E), especially the Frying Pan weapon, and Baby Nuke 'em Doll. Flesh Bomb gun, the black hole Vortex gun,... hilarious.
Keep in touch Ben, and let us know when your server is running.
If you see R@dius again, tell him we said comon alez vou.
PS.
I've always thought a few of the reasons why Unreal was so popular was due to the fact that you could play online with anyone from around the world for free. There were no monthly fees, service contracts, host restrictions, you didn't even need a user ID or Password. And you could also launch your own server from your home with nothing more than a lap top. Not to mention you could build your own maps, (that's what hooked me). Import your own graphics, sound effects, music, mods, Anything you can imagine, you can pretty much build it in Unreal.

No [BBST]R@dius was not the only map maker in BBST
BBST]B@BySiTter made somes
(eg : [BBST]-AumSweetHome.unr)
I will try to find contact with R@dius on other networks (Facebook, LinkedIn ... Fortune-telling )

A UT friendship which become a real friendship !
I have a story too :
In 2004 i work in a IT company and we needed a new developer ... in a long UT night conversation, a UT m8 accepted the job (500 kms from his house) and 20 years after, he always works in this company
Maybe we can write a book with all ours stories !
Ok ! I promise you !

Re: Airport
basically I'm just old, 50 y/o ...but yes, I've been playing sniper since 2010 in two clans, CoN (USA team) and ISC (italian team).[BBST]BenARAison wrote: ↑Mon Mar 11, 2024 4:56 am Thanks for the link, i will take a look in the next weeks

I've played a lot on BBST maps in the past, these maps are classic/legendary playgrounds for sniper camping mod...DM-[BBST]-Acropolis, DM-[BBST]-Airport, DM-[BBST]-HighCity, DM-[BBST]-Hollywood, DM-[BBST]-Rio, DM-[BBST]-SkateOrDie, DM-[BBST]-SkieOrDie and DM-[BBST]-TokyoDark are among the maps that I loved most.
BBST, TKK and SUF maps were great maps but I suggest you also to check new generation sniper (camping) maps built in the last years (most of them after 2015), you will find surely awesome maps, I'm sure you won't believe to your eyes...I just point out this map: DM-[NES]HighwoodManorV2 (watch video)
