November 26th, 1998New ServerThis evening I placed a new server online, Digital Paint #4. #3 and #4 are both running off of my machine, but I have reduced the client limit to 8 and it is a 400 mhz running on an oc3 so I expect it will be able to handle it. Digital Paint #3 will be running standard DP maps. Digital Paint #4 will be runnning 3rd party maps only. Also this evening I noticed a new server running called TPO Digital Paintball 1. All of the new servers have been added to the qplug page here and to the Servers.txt that you can use as a servers list on Gamspy, here. Enjoy. Beta 5 UpdateAs you can see from the POTD, the new HUD is finished and working beautifully. This is one of many new features to be implemented in Beta 5 as well as fixes of previous errors (that is why we have the public Beta test). Grenade code has been restructured and the Paint grenade bug has been squashed. The new grenades also create no lag or ping spikes. Work on Splatterhouse is progressing and it seems like Jitspoe has figured out how to port it to Quake2. Crossfire is in the testing stage right now and will also be included. Brainstorm is very near completion and it also should be included. And ofcourse we will keep a few secrets for suspense =). Jitspoe has also been working hard on his new Spyder SE model and it looks great. Check for a screenshot of it within the next few days. So for all you who wonder when Beta 5 will be ready, we still have no firm date set, but atleast you know that we ARE making progress. In the meantime enjoy Beta 4 and keep up the good work map makers. Happy Thanksgiving!Happy Thanksgiving to the Digital Paint community. Enjoy your day and spend it with family!

Great work Goldbond keep it up! November 21st, 1998Animated GIFI found this animated gif of warhouse over on the QI message board. It was posted by Shreds so I assume he made it. If so good job man. However it was a bit big =). It was 600k, I was able to optimize it some, and delete every other frame and make it 244k. If you want to check it out click here for the small version and here for the unedited much better looking version. Thanks again to Shreds. And also to Rain for the great image he made for POTD.
