PKEURO Forums Re-opened

PKEURO are pleased to announce the re-opening of our forums. Weve spent some time and set the system up so that your pkeuro.com login for the main site will log you in automatically. No need for pesky second signups

Feel free to express and comments / questions / thoughts on Painkiller in general. All input is welcome. An area has been created to discuss Single Player issues along with day to day comings and goings in PK land. Booh Singleplayer has its own section along with a generic PK / BooH MP section.

For all you would-be modders out there. Weve broken down the elements of modding for PK/BooH into areas we think would be useful to focus attention on. We also have a section for the more arty people out there with some good starters in the Graffiti Wall from our own logo designer Rezah.

We will keep an eye on the forum and if more modifications appear, or we get requests for extra categories, well add them as and when. We hope you find the forum useful and we look forward to reading your posts. Click the forum link in the navbar above or HERE to enter.

PK 1.35 Timer Bug Hotfix

DreamCatcher have given the go ahead for us to release a small hotfix for the annoying little timer bug seen on most servers. The hotfix is for 1.35 and is around 1 meg. You can just extract it to your data folder for easy installation. Please also test this on servers if you run these.

If you have any problems with this hotfix, or it doesnt work, please PM either w4rh0g, Blowfish or maniax in #Painkiller.euro @ Qnet. Thanks.

You can download the hotfix here.

**update**We are getting reports of the fix not working. Please ensure that minimod is uninstalled and that you follow these steps also:

Overwrite the original Lscripts.pak with the new file in the zip. Also, make sure that you dont have lscripts in unpacked form (if you have the data\lscripts\ subdirectory you need to delete it or at least make sure it is empty). If lscripts exist in both .pak file and unpacked form in the subdirectory then only those unpacked are used and the new pak will not be used.
