That'd be great, but can it wait a day or two?  I want to release build9 which will fix the problems with the serverlist.

Build9 just fixes the problem some people were having with the serverlist breaking.  Oh, it tweaks the cl_cmdrate, too, so you can jump on boxes in poorly built maps. ;)

Not nearly as many as Shizza would bring in but Ive burnt a copy for atleast 5 friends, sad thing is that they have to set all binds on startup and name on startup because the play off cd, would be cool if you could include an installer on the standalone version...

Lol no I dont know how you would make a SP version of DP buy standalone I mean the part of the game that  DOESNT need Quake 2 (the engine it uses) to run it....

Just drag and drop the paintball2 folder from the cd to the c:\ drive.  Doesn't really seem that complicated to me...

I made one sp map for dp... http://earth.prohosting.com/fourthx/shaztt.zip for the map and http://earth.prohosting.com/fourthx/test.zip for the textures.

1. Unzip the map into pball/maps/ and the textures into pball/textures/test/

2. start dp, go to the console and do 'map shaztt'

3. after the map loads return to the console and type 'debug1 1'

The map itself gives instructions on what to do, watch carefully it doesn't stay on the screen that long :)

Round starts sooner if you type "set debug1 1" before "map shaztt" :)

When sad and I were playing around with bots I got some kinda cool ideas for a single player mode.  Infiltrate a massive bunker full of bots using only the pgp!  Maybe have a few one-way missions like that, then some regular style maps where your team has to win.  There's a lot more features I want to implement before getting into single player stuff (if I ever have time to do it).

I'm a new guy, problem is, I don't know how to get started playing a paintball game with other peeps. Does anybody want to tell me whn in your time I can play online. I live on Guam and I hope anybody is nice enough can figure out the time differences and tell me what time I can find lots of people to play against.
Title: Re: lots of  new players comin soon
Post by: jitspoe on March 08, 2004, 12:19:42 PM
To be honest, I don't know what time zone Guam is in, but The US spans GMT -5 to -8, and during the afternoon is when there are the most people playing.  To play online click "Play" then "Join Game" then click on "Update."  It should pop up a list of servers.  If not, you might be experiencing the serverlist bug in build 8.  It'll be fixed in build 9, which I should be releasing today.

You ever do this?  If not, now would probably be a good time.  Build 10 seems to be pretty stable.
