How do you connect to a paintball server?


Ingame serverlist: The serverlist, which you find in the game: ' PLAY -> Join Game '.

Paintball serverbrowser: The serverbrowser which comes with the game (serverbrowser.exe file). You can find it in the same directory like the paintball2.exe file.

Another serverbrowser: Another program like 'HLSW', 'Xfire' or 'The All-Seeing Eye' to see the servers.

Manual / per connect command: If you know the ip (or url) and port from a server, you can connect to it manually. The command is 'connect serverip:port' or 'connect serverurl:port'. Our public server for example: 'connect 83.169.4.183:12345' or 'connect otb-server.de:12345'.

Per Alias / Bind: If you made an alias, you only need to type one word into the console and the game will connect to the server. For example: ' alias pub "connect otb-server.de:12345" ' (to connect to the [OTB] Public server only with the word 'pub').

Remember - all newbies or just new players connect to servers only in-game. "It's normal when i want download game, install it, run and connect to servers with ingame serverlist. For all multiplayer games this is normal."

That's true, but here are new and old players. So it is interesting to know, which method they prefer.

When ingame serverlist will be tweaked then all players (old and new) run game from game ;)

In my opinion Paintball 2 need "new" serverlist ingame. With new columns and sorting [name/ping/players/map/mode/locked] like ANY other multiplayer game ;) Give high priority for this feature!


Unfortunately this feature is "Added: 2008-01-06" to feature vote system, but.. still nothing :(

Separate exe is obviously a lot better as browser, but I tend to forget about it.

Obviously this kind of functionality should be in game.
