If you think you can defeat any (or all?) of the teams above, and fancy some organised 2v2 competition on a Wednesday evening, read the news post below and drop me a mail. I foresee the league kicking off in a week or two.

In order to help keep PKEURO updated with the latest and greatest Painkiller news out there, we’ve decided to open up the posting of Front page news to all members. To submit a news posting, simply login and click the add/edit News link on the right hand side bar.

We open access to the front page with certain constraints in that if we feel a news post is either irrelevant, abusive, or simply “not really that important to the community”, we reserve the right to delete or move the news post to the Minor news section on the right hand side bar.

PKEURO appreciates any news posted by our members and will try its best to make fair decisions on this subject. We look forward to your first (and hopefully many) news posts 🙂

Note, this does not mean we will be not updating the news ourselves anymore. Just that we feel it’s time to open the front page to more writers.

The following batch file will:

1. Keep your Windows server online
2. Update automatically to the latest PK++ whenever you restart it

It is recommended you set an rcon password, so that you can connect and \rcon quit to force a server restart.

If you are running Painserver.exe or any other executable you will need to edit the commandline as applicable.

Create a batch file with the following text in \bin\ , use at your own risk:

:start
painkiller -dedicated -cfg config.ini -lscripts pkplus.pak -start
rem crude wait to make sure pk has quit
PING 1.1.1.1 -n 1 -w 30000 >NUL
cd ..\data\
updater.exe silent
cd ..\Bin\
goto start

Vo0 has come through the field to win yet again! In a nail biting final, SK|Zyz defeated Vo0 in the first match to bring it head to head for the title. The second match then swung in Vo0s favour and he clinched the title in two straight maps. The final Standings look as such:

1st fnatic.Vo0 ($15k)
2nd SK|Zyz ($10k)
3rd Stermy ($7K)
4th Fatal1ty ($5K)
5th fnatic.gellehsak ($3.5K)
6th x6.Lexer ($2.5K)
7th SK|Stelam ($1.75K)
8th Daler ($1.25K)

Looking through the predictions made by you all, only Anon from Germany got the top three guys (but in the wrong order). A few of you predicted Vo0 1st and Zyz 2nd but missed Stermy out for 3rd. …and I thought you were all experts 😉

Congrats to the top 6 who all recieve free trips to the next World Tour stop along with oodles of cash. Apologies for our very limited coverage but Easter weekend is never best for getting reporters at their keyboards. Well try better next time! 🙂

Ztrider just won the PC Zone Jolt Painkiller tournament. He beat Jabb0r from the UK in two maps.

• Sacred: Ztrider 17 – 15 Jabb0r
• Absinthe: Ztrider 30 – 1 Jabbb0r

The game was played on 1.61, and i think they had some fps problems in absinthe.

GG to both.

Bluefoot and Shadish did not play, and share the 3th place.
