Post by: jitspoe on February 06, 2006, 07:51:02 PM: Ok. Do you have to use a proxy or anything to access web pages? Can you access http://dpball.com/serverlist.php ? It seems like there's something preventing paintball2 from connecting to the serverlist for whatever reason.

Post by: Herron on February 10, 2006, 12:44:21 PM: For now I'd suggest using an out-of-game browser if you're not already. http://www.udpsoft.com/eye/ is a good free one, and it's not owned by the evil gamespy empire so that's a bonus.

Just manually point the Quake 2 game to c:\blahblahblah\paintball2.exe and open up Paintball underneath Other in the hierarchy tree on the left and press F5.

Or you can setup a custom command line for pball to use paintball2.exe while still using the regular Quake 2 exe for other q2 mods, but I'm assuming that if you don't use an out-of-game browser already then you don't have Quake 2.

You're right, it's now owned by the evil Yahoo! empire, and with the state that the game browser is in in terms of supporting new games (read: Quake 4) it almost makes me wish I had never bought my lifetime registration. :(
