Digital Paint: Paintball 2 was originally a Quake2 mod. Now that Quake2 has been released under the GPL, Paintball2 has become a complete standalone game with an enhanced, open-sourced engine. Between the Quake2 physics and the one shot kills, it's an extremely fast paced game with numerous maps and gameplay modes. Gameplay modes include Elimination, CTF, 1-Flag CTF, Siege, Deathmatch, King of the Hill, and Pong. Some of the engine enhancements include reflective water and skeletal animation.

Build 20 has been "out" for a while now, on the forums and sf.net downloads page, but between my current employment crisis (turns out I'm not moving to California now - if anybody is looking for a skilled developer, let me know), having all my stuff packed up, and some exploits discovered that people have been using to crash servers, it's been a little difficult to put together an official release.

So here's what's new with build 20:

Fast file downloads!  These take place over UDP, so no additional configuration should be needed, but if you want to tweak things:
- sv_fast_download enables/disables fast file downloading on a server (on by default).
- sv_fast_download_max_rate sets the absolute max total transfer rate in KB/s.  Effectively, rates will be much slower than this, recommend leaving at 0 to disable.
- cl_fast_download enables/disables fast file downloads on the client (on by default).

New sounds.  I've been able to record higher quality audio from some of the weapons.  Currently just the Stingray, Trracer and Automag RT have been re-done, along with a couple things like splats.  These were recorded in 48khz, so crank your audio options up to 48khz for best results.  Since I know a lot of people are picky about changes, the new sounds are currently optional.
- To obtain the new sounds, run the full install.
- To stick with the old sounds, you must have an older version then run the update.

There is not currently a Linux client release because my Linux install auto-hosed itself again and I can't even get the game to run due to driver issues, but you should be able to use the server update, in theory.  The executable is the same, but it may or may not run properly.

Run over to the Digital Paint files page to grab the newest version and enjoy your fast file downloads (on servers that are updated)!

Lame. I helped support this game for years, and get banned for "Cheating" dont bother getting this game. They hve NO updates, shitty gameplay, and totally crap-ass community, and the only people who play are ass-tards.

My suggestion? Wait for this Quake 3 paintball game to come out: http://truepaint.net

It has way more to offer then this load of bullshit.

Well seeing as how jitspoe hasn't updated this in, o... about 2 YEARS! I thought it might be considerate of me to give a lil info on how Digital Paintball II is coming along.

-Although the alpha version is still playable, the standalone has advanced to it's 14th complete build, with a pre-release of the 15th build being played.

-Build 15 has new player models/animations, beautiful new water(with reflections that take perspective into account *tear*), and a new game mode -PONG- just to highlight the more noticeable changes.

-As a result of the mod's long life, there are a great many maps and quite a few dedicated servers.

-The Paintball community is a melting pot of more experienced players, to the moderately skilled, to the extremely new. The community has a clan list that seems to become more stable as time passes.

-jitspoe, even though earning no pay, constantly works towards improving all aspects of the game, taking into account the opinions and requests of most every active poster on the forums.

-Overall this mod is only becoming greater as time passes. Seeing as how it gained rave reviews back whenever it was first posted, it's worth a look-see now.
