Firstly grab the CPL demos here: http://x6.profezgaming.com/

You then need to hex edit the demo to alter the version number which is near the start of the file.

Download a freeware hex editor here, and open the demo file using it.

On the first line or so, on the right hand side, you will see a 1.62, change the 2 to a 4 to make 1.64. Save, watch 🙂

CAL has recently announced a PK-Invite league. It will be made up of the people who make it to the 2nd round of season 1 playoffs and certain other invites.

There also seems to be a bit of interest in the community for a CAL PK 2v2 league. However, before one can be started, we need a significant number of teams. For anyone who is interested, please post your teams name, your name, and your partners name on this thread. Post them in that order and please just one post per team.

Thanks for your continued support.

A little update today. PK++ 0.9 has been made compatible with patch v1.64. It also contains a few minor fixes and changes. Please bear in mind 0.9 (0.9.1.64 now) is still a beta version. I suggest you to read to readme located in \Bin\PK++Documentation.ZIP. If you have questions/suggestions, contact us at mods@pkeuro.com. Read the full list of fixes and features below:

CHANGE: Support for PCF version 1.64
CHANGE: Cfg.RocketFix default set to true
FIX: Pitabot minor fix for players joining game
FIX: Removed temptation to add old changelog to current version to make it seem more
FIX: Freezer is now showing on simplehud
FIX: Ammobackground is now working correct on simplehud
ADD: \version command to check local PK++ version
ADD: DisableHud [0/1] disables hud for map images
ADD: \camerayaw | \camerapitch for mapper image support

Download the update via Steamfish. If you dont have a previous version of PK++, download Steamfish installer first and run it.

*UPDATE* Some extras added (run Steamfish again or grab Standalone Installer):

ADD: Orange and Pink options for brightskins
CHANGE: Low gfx effects re-enabled
FIX: Low gfx settings causing gradual fps loss
FIX: PCF bug, decal stay time set to Off failed to save to config
ADD: \nodecals [0/1] for toggling decal rendering ingame
ADD: Cfg.ShowTimerShadow, Cfg.ShowFPSShadow, Cfg.ShowPingShadow added

Oh, and DM_Q1KMB and DM_Lukin were added. 🙂

Dreamcatcher have released the v1.64 patch for painkiller today. The patch is pretty much the same as the v1.63 patch and has the following readme:

MULTIPLAYER:
– FIX: Freezer bug
– FIX: Dead bodies bug
– FIX: Gold Armor bug

SINGLEPLAYER:
– FIX: If a certain path is taken you cant proceed (Docks) is fixed.

DEMO RECORDING:
– FIX: Items now disappear correctly.
– FIX: Demon morph mode is recorded in demos.
– FIX: Sometimes demos were playing with incorrect speed.

NOTE: Version 1.64 can be installed only on PK ver 1.62 or 1.63.

We had expected v1.64 to be a standalone install to support installs from v1.0. The release of this ~6MB patch is a little puzzling as no changes above and beyond 1.63 are obvious. The official servers in the US are rolling to 1.64 shortly (if not already) and we expect the European servers to follow suit soon. At this time, we do not believe PK++ will work with v1.64 but will look to remedy this in the near future.

*EDIT* PK++ now supports 1.64, current version is 0.9.1.64. Run Steamfish in the usual way to update. Standalone installer will follow shortly.

Vo0 has come through the field to win yet again! In a nail biting final, SK|Zyz defeated Vo0 in the first match to bring it head to head for the title. The second match then swung in Vo0s favour and he clinched the title in two straight maps. The final Standings look as such:

1st fnatic.Vo0 ($15k)
2nd SK|Zyz ($10k)
3rd Stermy ($7K)
4th Fatal1ty ($5K)
5th fnatic.gellehsak ($3.5K)
6th x6.Lexer ($2.5K)
7th SK|Stelam ($1.75K)
8th Daler ($1.25K)

Looking through the predictions made by you all, only Anon from Germany got the top three guys (but in the wrong order). A few of you predicted Vo0 1st and Zyz 2nd but missed Stermy out for 3rd. …and I thought you were all experts 😉

Congrats to the top 6 who all recieve free trips to the next World Tour stop along with oodles of cash. Apologies for our very limited coverage but Easter weekend is never best for getting reporters at their keyboards. Well try better next time! 🙂
