I wanted to make sure people were mostly happy with it before doing a full public release. The biggest change is the fixes and tweaks to the player movement physics. Things like getting stopped by stairs and bumps, losing control on slopes, and bouncing on elevators have been fixed. Overall, things should be much smoother. Also, in Windows, you can actually resize/maximize the window and alt-tab and continue to have sound, and on Linux, a major crash has been fixed. Here's a full changelist of the engine: Build 35 (2012-01-09): - Bugfix: Fixed jittering/bouncing against angled walls on slopes. - Bugfix: Fixed jumping on ramps with low ceilings not going up high enough and giving you a weird boost. - Bugfix: Fixed the game taking mouse focus when it didn't start up in the foreground (Win32). 12:06 AM 1/6/2012 - Tweak: Reduced accel on ramps with the new physics (should behave more like the old physics). - Tweak: Limited the length of names on the client to 30 characters so they don't get cut off on the server and cause logins to fail. 9:20 PM 1/8/2012 - Tweak: Limited menu sounds to once per frame so there isn't a really loud sound when you first launch the game. 12:45 AM 1/9/2012 - Cvar: "s_disableonalttab" - Disabling this now works with the default DirectSound sound. Disabled by default so you can hear sound from the game while you're alt-tabbed out. 12:02 AM 1/6/2012 Build 34 (2012-01-02): - Bugfix: Fixed menu widgets not repositioning correctly after the game window was resized. 11:02 PM 12/29/2011 - Bugfix: Fixed potential crash with server "say" command and made server chat display to the console. 3:15 AM 1/2/2012 - Bugfix: Fixed non-integer crosshair scales not positioning correctly. 9:29 PM 1/2/2012 - Tweak: Removed water uber doublejump with new movement physics. 12:03 AM 12/30/2011 - Tweak: "arecord" now prepends "auto" if no prefix is specified - (T3RR0R15T) - Tweak: Made it so crouching in the air at high velocities should no longer be possible. It's still possible to crouch at low velocities so crouching down slopes and steps doesn't bounce you up and down. - Cvar: "sv_skyglide_maxvel" - Allows you to tweak the maximum velocity skygliding will retain, so you can't sky glide crazy distances from ice jumps, etc. 12:05 AM 12/30/2011 - Cvar: "sv_crouchslide" - enables crouch sliding. - Cvar: "sv_oldmovephysics" - uses the older style ramp and step physics. - Cvar: "cl_consoleheight" - Value from 0 to 1 to adjust console height (0.5 is the default) - (T3RR0R15T) - Cvar: "sv_consolename" - Name used when you "say" something at the server console. 0 = "console", 1 = "Info", 2 = "News", 3 = "Help", 4 = "Server", 5 = "Admin". (T3RR0R15T) Build 33 (2011-11-13): - Tweak: Better movement control on slopes (hold the jump key to bounce and slide on slopes like you used to). - Tweak: Made landing sound quiet... http://digitalpaint.org/news.php#20120119-1 jitspoe http://digitalpaint.org/news.php 2011-04-09T00:00:00-00:00 We've had news RSS feeds for a while, but the HTML link wasn't set up correctly.

Here are a few examples (current textures on the left, high-res on the right): The pack is about half-way done. You can see updates and discuss it here. http://digitalpaint.org/news.php#20110406-1 jitspoe http://digitalpaint.org/news.php 2011-03-27T00:00:00-00:00 island55 from digitalfrag.net has been kind enough to donate several servers for official use: 208.100.42.52:27910 - Chicago, IL 89.149.242.101:27910 - Frankfurt, Germany 87.117.203.203:27910 - London If you have suggestions for map rotations, etc., post them here. http://digitalpaint.org/news.php#20110327-1 jitspoe http://digitalpaint.org/news.php 2011-03-27T00:00:00-00:00 I'm not into the social networking sites at all, but webhead set up accounts for Digital Paint: Paintball 2 on Facebook and Twitter here: http://www.facebook.com/pages/Digital-Paint-Paintball-2/208706742472974 http://twitter.com/digitalpaintpb2 Like/follow/subscribe and whatnot, and help promote the game!

Servers are sorted by a combination of player count and ping to help put the best servers for you to play on at the top of the list. Client updates: - Feature: Server list sorts by players/ping. - Feature: Serverlist auto-updates and clears on update. 10:53 PM 2/16/2011 - Bugfix: Fixed issue with files not downloading that were in the "requiredfiles" field in maps. - Bugfix: Fix for crash with long console lines then hitting up. - Bugfix: (Hopefully) fixed OpenGL errors on some Linux configs. - Bugfix: Fix for rare case where a client reconnect or potentially a laggy connect could result in an "active" entity before the connection finished. 11:59 PM 2/16/2011 - Bugfix: Fixed serverlist not updating if a player hasn't logged in or connected to a server first. 6:31 PM 2/21/2011 - Tweak: Various fixes to console text messages. (Thanks, T3RR0R15T). - Tweak: Merged Linux and Win32 opengl code to make things more maintainable. Game server updates: - Fixed flags and pong ball keeping velocity when reset. - Fix for people connecting during a map change being kicked for invalid clients. - Increased MAX_INFO_STRING to 1024 to reduce "Info string length exceeded" messages. 1:13 PM 2/21/2011 Post feedback on the build here. http://digitalpaint.org/news.php#20110225-1 jitspoe
