I've just downloaded airborn and extract it but didn't find any read me file. Can someone please tell me what it's say.

The readme file is missing from some of the mirrors it seems. Would be nice if someone, or the author, could upload the file to a separate host. Until then, there's no way I can play this mod.

I might just aswell post it since i've got no idea if you've cleared it out or not.
I in no way have written this.

This happens to be the first public release of Airbørn, a total conversion for Unreal Tournament 3.
The initial version we had to release due to due to the Make Something Unreal Contest deadline last week,
it had some bad issues here and there, therefore we decided to give that version a week of extra polish.
The game was planned to be console based Action Adventure, Therefore using the shortcuts provided by us
(1280x720, small HD) and playing Airborn with a gamepad (Xbox 360 controller) is recommended.
It does work in different resolutions but the game experience might change and the HUD might not work properly.
It also does work with keyboard and mouse but its more polished for controller.

For those of you who didn't already download it:

This version of Airbørn is far from a finished game, it's more or less a visual techdemo with basic gameplay added.
Now that we have that base done we can build upon and add more to it.

If you've already downloaded the previous version, here are the changes we've implemented since then:

- fixed a bad jump bug that occasionally shot you over very far distances
- fixed a dead end, when you've been on pogo and came close to the ledge you lost controls,
now you'll fall just like when you jump over the ledge
- balance animation got fixed, now plays right
- bird anims fixed
- kicking tokachus is way easier now, still not perfect, but a step forward
- changed the collision for pino to not get stuck all the time
- updated the collision of the harbour
- polished the pogo animations and movement to be more fluid and fun
- fixed an issue with the quest that you couldn't finish it even if you made it in time
- press 'B' to talk now added to the quest, for keyboard users, use 'E'
- tweaked the hud to fit better in the game
- ingame UI did crazy things therefore we removed it, is fixed now.
- added new graphical assets to the harbour
- tweaked existing shaders to fit better with the lighting
- new start screen
- forum added to (Air-borne URL)

This is Version 0.1b, we know that there are more issues, but if you have any suggestions,
feedback etc. feel free to contact us or search for updates at (Air-borne URL) .


- Installation Guide for Non Steam Users -

First of all, install the latest UT3 Patch 2.1.

Copy the Airborn Folder into your UT3 Installation Folder.
It should look like this "E:\Games\UT3\"

If you have done this, rightclick the link called Airborn right in the rar you just downloaded

Go into properties, there should be a line that looks like this:

E:\Games\UT3\Binaries\UT3.exe menu?game=Airborn.Airborn -windowed -resx=1280 -resy=720 -log -ConsolePosX=0 -ConsolePosY=0 -useunpublished -mod=..\Airborn -log -consoleXY

Change the first part of it to contain your UT3 installation folder.
So if you have UT3 installed on "D:\Games\Unreal Tournament 3\" the line should look like this
D:\Games\Unreal Tournament 3\Binaries\UT3.exe DM-000?game=Airborn.Airborn -windowed -resx=1280 -resy=720 -log -ConsolePosX=0 -ConsolePosY=0 -useunpublished -mod=..\Airborn -log -consoleXY

thats it. :)

- Installation Guide for Steam Users -

Games Menu --> click "Add a non Steam Game to your games list"

choose "browse..." now navigate to your UT3 folder within Steam:

usually something like:

"C:\Program Files\Valve\Steam\SteamApps\common\unreal tournament 3\Binaries"

and select UT3.exe

If you did everything right, you should have a UT3 Icon also saying "Unreal Tournament 3" but the Status should be "Shortcut - ready" (unlike your true UT3 link which should say something like "100% - ready")

now right click this shortcut and choose "properties"

assuming you've installed your Steam in "C:\Program Files\" your Airborn shortcut has to be as follows:

"C:\Program Files\Valve\Steam\SteamApps\common\unreal tournament 3\Binaries"\UT3.exe" menu?game=Airborn.Airborn -windowed -resx=1280 -resy=720 -log -ConsolePosX=0 -ConsolePosY=0 -useunpublished -nohomedir -mod=..\Airborn -log -consoleXY

if you did everything right, you will see the Airborn Splash Screen when booting up

if you still have problems with getting it to run with steam, let us know :)
