So I finally checked this out.  A couple things:

Why do you force the hudscale to 1.6?  Forcing it is bad enough, but using non-integer values causes it to look really bad (it has to blur the texture, and sometimes causes some really ugly artifacts).  Anybody who tries this is going to have their settings stuck like that.

Renaming the executable is kind of an annoyance for me.  The cheat detection picks up on that (since some cheats require the executable to be a certain filename since they were designed for other games), so it generates a bunch of false positives I have to ignore.

Why is the executable so large?  The game is only like 600k, and that exe is 4 megs... not that it's a huge deal.  Just weird.

Yeah, it's bad, i've resized the menu to make it useful on 600x800 in 2.0.

I'm sorry :/

It's a py2exe compiled python script - i was wondering if I should rewrite it to Java or something else, but Python works well with MCI so i don't have to fight with the copyright stuff.
That's the only reason The app works really smooth though (about 1% CPU on my 1-cored asus eeepc).
I'm sorry for answering so late.

Is that fixed now or will it still generate false positives in the cheat detection?

It i'snt and propably won't be, i like this feature too much =d.
Nobody has been banned for that (many ppl use v1.3), dont worry.
The only person it affects is jitspoe.
However, if you want an option to disable it, let me know. I can add it, but it will be manual, I don't want the default installation to be more complicated. (You will have to run dpmusic.exe to run paintball2+dpmusic then)
As i said, im sorry for annoying jitspoe, i'm sure he can hide the false positives. The executable's name is (and will be) paintball2_nodpmusic.exe, so its quite useless for hacks.
Nobody was/will be banned for that since its not a hack and the false positives should be easy to skip. The only thing it does is renaming paintball2.exe to paintball2_nodpmusic.exe and replacing it. Just to improve your experience with DPMusic

Sorry to say man, but if only I was a talented programmer I would now start developing a hack that would use your .exe for the cheats, since Jitspoe isn't really paying attention to it. You should really look for a different solution.

But its not his job. You should fix that.

I can't do it at the moment, it seems to be impossible without  removing this feature.
I like it too much to do it.

Running paintball2.exe from DPMusic is the best possible solution, even if running executables/bats from DP was possible [It won't be because it would be a major security hole].
Yeah, i could modify the game but this is still the same thing.
+it's not an advantage for hackers (i don't mean cheaters) since jitspoe said

The cheat detection picks up on that (since some cheats require the executable to be a certain filename since they were designed for other games)

It doesn't make any new security hole.

How many people are going to use this anyways? Most people use YouTube or pandora anyways.

V 1.3 had 298 downloads.
2 biggest advantages:
-doesnt change the ingame experience even on netbooks
-much easier to play music on fullscreen
