Tonight saw RiZe|Aim and dignitas|worre play the final of the IndeWEB ( wwww.indeweb.de ) Painkiller Challenge Cup #1. Both players are from Sweden and are bootcamping along with Tybalt. Both players reach the final having played against the likes of SK|SteLam, e-star|Ztrider, dignitas|canna and play.it|vicious to name a few.

The first map was DM_Sacred (worres map choice), which saw a tentative start by both players. Worre managed to get solid map control and rack up the frags. Despite Aims efforts, the score finished: Worre 15 – 13 Aim

The second map was DM_Absinthe (Aims map choice), which saw Worre get early control. With some impressive stake use by Worre putting stop to Aims comebacks at times. Worre finishing ten frags ahead; Final score: Worre 19 – 9 Aim

With CPL Spain only 10 days away, it will be interesting to see how these players fair there.

*UPDATE* psycho has now been replaced by meatless.

Blowfish showed how to set up ASE to recognize PK++ servers lately. Here is how to configure QTracker. Unfortunately, QTracker doesn’t pull detailed information from Painkiller servers at the moment, so there is no way to distinquish between PK++ servers and Vanilla PK with current QTracker version 3.82. I talked to the programmer lately and he promised ASE-formatted queries for Painkiller (to get this information) will be included in the next release of QTracker.

Anyway. First of all, make sure QTracker starts PK++ when you connect to a server. Go to “View/Settings…” and make the following adjustments:

Writing filters is not very difficult. Open your favorite text-editor (notepad will do) and type in the following:

This is what a minimal filter looks like. Note that both “description” and “game” are required. The first one is used as display name for your filter in QTracker, the latter one denotes the game this filter is for of course.The last line checks if the version number contains the string “1.64”, thus resulting in only showing servers that run version 1.64.

Save your file anywhere on your harddisc. Just make sure it has the extension “.qtf”. Some editors automatically add “.txt” as extension, so double-check that the file is named “.qtf” and not “.qtf.txt” for example. If you did everything right, the the file will have a QTracker symbol if you look at it in Explorer. Now just double-click this file and an installer window will pop-up that guides you through the procedure of installing the filter. In QTracker, you can activate the filter in “Servers/Filters/Game…”. Check the entry “Painkiller/Painkiller 1.64” — done!

A detailed description of all commands that can be used in QTracker filters can be found here:

I also recommend downloading and installing the mapshot pack made by DI-MeisterM:
