Team Dignitas: Hi Zen can you tell our readers a bit about yourself?

Zen: My name is Brian Grapatin, im 22 years old.. and im the first Fully sponsored Fatal1ty player. I grew up playing quakeworld at a high level and then took a pretty long break from fps gaming to play tennis at a division 1 college. After coming back from college I saw a game called painkiller that came out and I figured id give it to shot to see how good I was compared to this generation of gamers.

SK Gaming (www.sk-gaming.com) has announced that Worre will be joining the Team Dignitas PK line-up.

Worre is known to the community not only from his performances in previous pkeuro duel cups, but also from his involvement in the CPL MOD and initial PK++ work.

The CPL (www.thecpl.com) has announced that it is to include DM_Meatless as one of the four maps in the primary map list for the World Tour. DM_Meatless is currently included as part of the Steamfish update, so no doubt most gamers already have it on their machines, as well as (hopefully )it being on most servers.

v1.0 of PK++ is now available for download via your friendly SteamFish Updater tool. If you dont have a previous version of PK++, download Steamfish installer first and run it.

Version 1.0 has only the following change:

CHANGE: Minor alteration to rocketfix based on mass public testing. Tweaking now locked.

Hopefully this locking of the rocketfix variables will allow a standard to be set for all play in the future.

If you have questions/suggestions, contact us at mods@pkeuro.com.. Also take note of a very handy shell script created by i365-klaude for updating Linux servers with PK++. You can find the thread where Klaude releases the shell HERE, and the actual shell for download HERE.

*UPDATE*

ADD: \MOTD – sets the server MOTD from the console (intended for use with rcon)
ADD: \PitabotEnabled [1/0] | Cfg.PitabotEnabled – sets pitabot server component active/inactive.
