May 10th, 2002Back and Gone AgainWell, I'm back from college, so that means more time to work on 2.0, yay! But... I'm off to visit relatives, so it'll be a few days before I can start. Cal's still finishing up, so he's uberbusy. April 6th, 2002Paintball World Cuper33t.com is sponsoring a 1v1 tournament for Paintball II called the Paintball World Cup. For more information, /join #PBCUP on Irc.EnterTheGame.com or check out the web page. March 27th, 2002Minor Engine TweaksEvery once in a while I think of some nice little tweaks to throw in to make Quake2 more Paintball II oriented and less Quake2 oriented. The config menu now has the paintball binds in it, and things like cl_noskins make the client use the team-colored skins instead of the grunt (aka funky yellow purple dude) skin. New MapWell, I'm working on a new map. I had forgotten how time consuming it is to make these things :) This one should be pretty cool. It'll be designed to support 4 teams and all game modes. It's quite tall (about 120 feet) and it's possible to reach the top by hopping from ledge to ledge in certain areas (see screenshot). It's also possible to escape the jail, but far from easy. :) March 10th, 2002Ingame server browser?For your gaming pleasure, an INGAME server browser is in the works. For the time being, all it does is download the server.txt from http://www.captured.com/digitalpaint/server.txt and toss it into the quake2 address book. Of course the address book has a lot of room for improvement now, doesn't it.
There jit. Someone other than you posted news. Happy? ;-) March 3rd, 2002BBoard UpdateWell, I updated the bboard today in hopes that it would fix the issue with Internet Explorer 6. It didn't. Apparently since the bboard is in a frame, IE won't accept cookies from it unless you edit your security settings (dumb thing). There are instructions on how to do this in the forum on the bboard page. Or you can just use a different browser. :) New ServersLots of new servers have been going up lately, so if you've had trouble finding a good server, go check out the list now! Also, if you were using IE6 and the server plugin didn't work, check out the new link to download the plugin on the server page.
If you want a match server hop on irc.enterthegame.com and /ctcp calrathan match, or /join #eR33t-servers and type !match. New Player ModelFor those of you who missed the POTD, we have a new player model, made by Shine.
