PK-CUP UPDATE

Hiho, maybe someone still remember me. I am GodofShaolin aka MaxistXXL. While breakfast the idea of PK-CUP come into my mind. Rules and so on follow soon, but I need ur help. I need servers. Maybe I can save ROD-DUEL, but one should be not enough. So if u own flatrate, >=2Mbit and PK 😉 write to 201135609(ICQ) or maxistxxl@yahoo.de.

so long

UPDATE:
The mod to use will be newPK, because PK++ isnt supported anymore and we have to support newPK to get a mod as good as PK++. U can use both mods, just install PK++ and afterwards newPK, it works.
I wrote a perl-script, which will add autoexec, switch configs and load the right Mod, if u are interested …

Heartbeep
If u ask urself what is happen, i decide to wait a short time, so we can use newPK 0.3, supporing rocketfix and maybe warmupdamage. Mason is also looking 4 prices, maybe he will found some.

NewPK 0.1

This mod does not want to change too much PK’s gameplay, it just try to make it more fair and fun.
I made it because PK is a game i liked a lot (even if its obviously not perfect:) and it was sad to see it dying hated by so much people.
Remember this is a 0.1 version: everything is still in testing and could be changed.

NewPK 0.1 features
——————

-New Stakegun damage system: if you have between 1 and 10 stakes ammo (like when you spawn;), your stakes damage will be 100; if you have more than 10 stakes ammo, your stakes damage will be 165 and stakes will have a flaming graphic effect.

-Telefrags removed

-Weapons balance changes:
.Removed Electro esponential damage increase (that made it so overpowered)
.Electro + Driver combo is back! The electrified shuryken inflicts lot of damage in a small area for few seconds but requires 50 Electro ammo.
.Shurykens explode on impact; explosions damage reduced.
.25% increase in stake-nade blast and 12% increase in its radius.
.Doubled Freezer bolt speed.
.Decreased Painkiller combo damage from 300 to 150.
.Increased damage and radius of Boltgun/Heater.
.Increased SMG damage.

-New version of PK maps: these maps have some small changes to fit properly the NewPK gameplay features (to list all changes would be too long…the most “untouched” map is Sacred anyway).
.Completed ones: DM_New_Psycho, DM_New_Q3DM6, DM_New_Absinthe, DM_New_Sacred, DM_New_Meatless.

NOTE: if you dont have the base DM_1v1_meatless and DM_q3dm6_pain maps you will have problems running the “New” versions!

Interview with Angel Munoz/CPL

MichalCarmacBlicharz(PL) asked Angel Munoz(USA), about the WT. This is what he answered:

For me, that was sort of a transforming experience, to see these guys dedicated and then the people that really benefit that sold… I know how much theyve sold because theyve reported to me. Theyve sold hundreds and hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of this game, millions really. And they werent really there to support it. That was the negative.
