I know it takes like a whole 5 seconds to connect to a server and load the game and what not, but i think it'd be cool to show like a screenshot of the map you're about to play in the console and show all that loading spam stuff down like at the bottom of the screen, just a suggestion...a lot of newer games do that....along with music. Then again its only like 5 seconds

im sure you could download a 150x150 pixel image from a server quite fast.

Yea and maps with no screens should just have generic one that says Digital Paintball Map

I dont know how to word this because I really dont know what to call them, but you know how in a worldspawn when making a map you do:
"team1" "blue"
"team2" "red"
"message" "Shazam 33 - by rez"
Maybe you could add a little variable type thing so its like:
"team1" "blue"
"team2" "red"
"message" "Shazam 33 - by rez"
"img_url" "http://imageshack.us/39042/shazam33.jpeg"
Get what I mean? Then DP loads the image from the imageshack url.

I wouldn't want to use URLs, personally. I'd rather have it be a file that matches the name of the BSP somewhere in the pball folder. Someone could take a bunch of screenshots for the maps that are played now.

I've a map pic pack. I think oddjob put them together...
It's about 80 mbs and about 700 pics (some maps have multiple sshots).
