World of Padman 1.6. patch is released and available for download as an unified zip file containing binaries for Windows, Linux and Mac OS X operating systems. A dmg for Mac OS X and an installer for Windows will be provided soon. The new version solves some major game play issues and adds new features to the game. We also added new content like oregano4's Airplane, a map for SyC, LPS and DM game modes and two new skins for the PaddyBell character model, PaddyBell and PaddyBee. To all the modders and mappers out there, please pay attention to the change log. New source code and editing files are part of the download.
This is a short list of bug fixes, changes and new features:
- New map oregano4's Plane added
- New PaddyBell player skins BadPaddy and PaddyBee added
- New high quality ambient sound samples added
- Quick info support feature for menu items added
- New special icons for important game objects added
- Few changes to weapon and item balance made
- Bots navigation and game play behaviour improved
- Issues with placing Bambam in solid brushes fixed
To install the patch it requires at least a full WoP 1.5 installation. There is no requirement of previous released hotfixes or any other prior beta installation. If you already have one installed, it's fine. Just overwrite existing files by unpacking the 1.6. zip file into your World of Padman installation folder. If you have WoP 1.5.5.1 beta hotfix already installed please make sure to remove wop_007.pk3 from your WoP files before installing the WoP 1.6 patch.

Update:
Due to another team cheating and withdraw from the contest we are back now in the top 100 list. Take the chance and vote for us now.
Should Desura auto-update it do I need to do it manually?
Hi Happy, Desura should update the client automatically but the update is still in the release queue. If you don't want to wait you can update is manually if you like by applying the patch on the Desura installation. This should work too.
Good work.
But still getting error in your article:
"Update:

404 not found."
Hi, This is because of the Desura-Client. It shows the the Widget not correctly. Please visit Indiedb.com to read the news with working widget.
even in the browser the widget shows a 404.
IndieDB and ModDB work for me. The same news on Desura yields a 404 for me, using a regular browser. Maybe it's an absolute vs relative URL thing (should point to indiedb.com, not desura.com)
WoP 1.6 Windows client is up and running on Desura. Still waiting for the Linux client.
Desura provides the 1.6 patch also for Linux systems now.
I would be interested in how the release on desura affected your playerbase.
Did you get a boost in playercounts? I would like to see that boost in WoP because i think is f'ing fun to play :)
