Ok, Paintball2 is not a jump mod. It never was intended to be a jump mod. I don't know why people are trying to turn it into one. There's already a jump mod with an active community for which all these jump maps were designed.

Here's a tutorial on how to get it installed and start playing:

1) Download and install the Quake2 demo. I grabbed it here: http://www.download.com/Quake-II-demo/3000-7563_4-10243475.html
2) Download the Q2Jump client. Extract the files into your quake2 demo directory (where quak2.exe is): http://q2jump.wireplay.co.uk/modules.php?name=Downloads&d_op=viewdownload&cid=3
3) Make a "jump" directory in the quake2 demo directory, then make a "maps" directory under that. Move all of your quake2 jump maps from paintball2/pball/maps to q2demo/jump/maps (yes, move. They don't belong in paintball2).
4) Load up q2jump.exe, set your video preferences and controls, then type "connect 195.224.41.30:27950" at the console (or connect to the server of your choice).

How to play with paintball2.exe:
1) Create a directory called "jump" in your paintball2 directory and a "maps" directory inside of the jump directory.
2) Move all of your Quake2 jump maps from pball/maps to jump/maps (yes, move, they don't belong in paintball2).
3) Download the Quake2 demo. Install it wherever you want. Copy the players directory and pak0.pak into your new jump directory.
4) Open paintball2 and type the following at the console:

game jump
set cl_hudstyle 0
connect 195.224.41.30:27950

Note: You will end up downloading a bunch of files. Some of these may be obtained from http://q2jump.wireplay.co.uk/. Others you will just be stuck downloading.

If you want to run a jump server with paintball2, you can download the server files and add "+set game jump" to your server command line. You will probably be better off running something like R1Q2 than paintball2, though. Really, in general, you should be using a different game engine that's more designed for Quake2 jumping, but whatever.

You can also use the mod with many of the free (improved) Quake 2 clients, which are also listed on the site.

I've been an active member of the Q2Jump community for some time now, and there are so many more benefits to jumping on actual jump servers than these DP servers running jump maps. It's just pointless. You can't even store/kill, and the blocking is a whole other problem in itself. In Q2Jump player entities are..."ghosts." In other words, you can go through other players without them getting in your way.

Psst. That's my strategy on 89% of the jump maps.

Ha wow bit mate... but yeah i was an old q2 jumper... it is a lot of fun.. you can get admin once you get good.. the benefits will be no clip.. so if you cant do the jump or want to float around. They also have hook which is a cool feature. I haven't played q2 jump mod in sometime now.. If you have any questions about it or anything get on irc connect to Quake net #q2.jump Talk to Rambler or Neur0.. They are who wrote the mod. I don't think Neur0 is to active though but rambler should be.

Rambo is still active, not sure about Neur0 though..

I'm pretty sure this thread only applies to spook and superman, the two main dp server jump map playing kids.

...4) Open paintball2 and type the following at the console:

game jump
set cl_hudstlye 0
connect 195.224.41.30:27950

Note: You will end up downloading...

Isn't it supposed to be
"set cl_hudstyle 0"
instead of
set cl_hudstlye 0

Glad to see how everything works out

To bad there is no grapple in the game. If there was jumping would be obsolete.

Could someone mirror the files from step 2:

I'm being blocked from the site.

Oh and what does +game jump actually do?

y00tz · « **Reply #19 on:** November 27, 2007, 01:42:30 PM »

Paintball 2 is not a jump mod. Just go somewhere else and ask for the files or find them on your own. This site and forum are dedicated to Paintball 2.

+game jump tells the client to run the game from the /jump/ directory, utilizing the engine but not the Paintball 2 graphics, etc.
