<![CDATA[ Time for some clarifying WoP news ]]> http://padworld.myexp.de/index.php?news&update_id=213&news_lang=en Thu, 26 Aug 2010 18:06:28 +0200 ENTE Info http://padworld.myexp.de/index.php?news&update_id=213&news_lang=en http://padworld.myexp.de/index.php?news&update_id=213&news_lang=en You probably noticed that, although things moved along just fine initially, it got really quiet the last couple of month and progress on the game was slow. But we won't go into detail about the reasons for that, we would rather like to talk about the headway we're making again. The WoP members are back at work and there has been lots of activity in the last weeks.

We resolved to get a new version done till December, around Christmas would be a nice release date. In November, we hope, we could start the betatests.
So why the sudden change, why is there development again, you might ask. Well, there are reasons for that, which also lead us to GamesCom, unfortunately we can't give you more information about that yet, but don't worry, WoP will stay free, we don't plan to sell it now after all. :wink:

So now, let's get to the juicy parts and talk about what the new version will look like in detail, since we don't want to keep you guessing any longer. Here is a small, incomplete list of the features of the new version (there might be changes still):

- all textures (that's over 2000) have been revised. Regrettably for custom mappers that might mean that you have to adjust some of your maps for the new version.
- nearly all skins and many map obejcts have been jazzed up
- there are new menu graphics
- all old maps have been overhauled.
- The levelshots got a new design, also they show the gametype while loading now accompanied by a short explanation.
- There are ingame help-screens to explain every gametype and the weapons and powerups.
- Padman doesn't only get a brand new model but also five alternative heads for his alternative skins.
- There are five completely new playermodels.
- One new gametype: CTL (Capture the Lolly)... a variant of Capture the Flag
- Instagib integrated, to be played with the new "injector" weapon.
- at least one new SyC map, which will probably be PadShop (an additional one might be possible)
- Eight CTL maps, six of which are completely new.
- We created two new powerups for CTL.
- LPS gets only selected maps enabled now, which are preferably compact, some maps even have been adjusted for that (for example PadGarden Night)
- BB is getting wallhack symbols for better coordination of the teams.
- There will be glowing team skins.
- The weapon balance will be adjusted
and much more...

WoP 1.5 WoP 1.5
WoP 1.5 WoP 1.5

Hopefully you'll see that we really weren't idle, just slow.
The details might change still, it's possible that there'll be more content especially concerning the maps, let's wait and see. Now let's get to the "bad" news, and please don't throw any stones as us.
The next version to be released will be 1.5, not 2.0. We knew to really make progress we had to cut a big feature. Yes it is the singleplayer, as much as it pains us. We already had started work on it, there already is a completely new map, two new playermodels and a lot more, but our plans kept growing and the whole thing got too complex, so we had to make a decision that's not only hard for you but us too. If we waited untilthe singleplayer is done, this project could take another year and that was jus too long for us. So finally we decided to cut the singleplayer, focus on everything else and then, after the release of 1.5 have a look at it again. We also have to discuss that part in detail again internally and figure out what is still possible.
We still hope that you are not too dissappointed by our decision to cut the singleplayer and that you're looking forward to the 1.5 release with us.

Your WoP-Team

But we were attending it for the first time and joined the gaming masses on Saturday with doomdragon, Kai and ENTE, with the latter including his children. We were just visitors at the expo but there still was a sense of exhibition atmospheric feeling in the air that got us all excited. ENTE gave us some exclusive WoP-Team shirts (Making-of) which he created that did attract attention and even led to some of the visitors approaching us curiously to find out where the WoP booth was (but as we didn't have one, we just had to tell them the truth). Others had asked for a photograph or even an autograph but some however were too shy, which is a bit of a pity because we really don't bite.

We ourselves were, besides the games, interested in making new contacts or turning written contacts into personal ones and one of those was Gerrit from Spawnpoint - Institut für Computerspiel (an institute of computer gaming), who was thrilled about WoP. GamesCom turned out to be a great although exhausting experience which got us thinking that maybe we will have our own booth at a future GamesCom event? Till next time.

<![CDATA[ The mapping contest is over ]]> http://padworld.myexp.de/index.php?news&update_id=210&news_lang=en Mon, 21 Jun 2010 23:23:11 +0200 Pixelmännchen http://padworld.myexp.de/index.php?news&update_id=210&news_lang=en http://padworld.myexp.de/index.php?news&update_id=210&news_lang=en
Finally, the contest has ended and the winners have been chosen. We've been surprised, but before we tell you about the winners, we'll give you a list of the jury members. The jury was:
-Pudding
-Chaosblubbel
-Haferschleim
-The_Brain
-Harmonieman
-Pixelmännchen

First, we'll show you the maps that got to the fifth, sixth and seventh place. "Dacharena" (Nasbit), "Kontestmap" (Gubba) and "the_match" (Nicklas2751).
The "Dacharena" has a World of Padman style colour scheme. Everything is very colourful. The block design isn't too good, and the close corridors don't help the gameplay. Sometimes the map reminds me of a labyrinth, so it takes a while to know how to get around.
Dacharena
Gubba's "Kontestmap" is clear; it's just a room with four walls. In the middle is a tower and there is a base on either end of the room, which spans the whole wall. The weapon selection isn't big and in every base there is a health station and padshield, so you are ahead, if you are the one that fragged first. The Jump pads are a bit inaccurate so you can't hide well.
Kontestmap
"The_match", from Nicklas2751, uses all the weapons (except the imperius) in each of the two bases. You can get into a small room through a tunnel, in which you can fight each other. A door that you shoot to open, is a real spoilsport, like the small room, where you have to fire two balloons so that you and your opponent are eliminated.
The_match
Congratulations to GLL for fourth place. He gave us a space map, that he called just "1vs1_DM17". The lights on the stairs give a nice feeling, like The_Brain said "It gives you the feeling that you are an important person :smile:".
The map is really colourful and has a large range of weapons. The map is symmetrical, so there's a base on each side. It may be a bit too colourful and you can't see the jump pads well. Edges, that prevent one from falling down too easily, would be nice, as well.
Space_GLL
Hana-bi got the third place, with a simple marble map. Sadly, the jump pads are difficult to see, but there is lots of detail. The Balloony is the primary weapon, that helps to play in small passages, but disturbs the enemy. There's no health station in the upper area, but a padshield instead. The hiding spots are quite dangerous and often lead to death. The map is well-lit, without any obvious light sources.
Marble
The last two contestants had a hard fight. They scored the same points for their look, but one of them dominated in the gameplay. We can greet Phobos to the top of the winning stairs, who convinced the jury of his "Döner" map (it's something to eat in Germany, similar to a wrap.) But before that, we want to tell you about oregano's 1v1 map.

It is divided into floors. The weapons Splasher, Betty, Pumper and Balloony are all there. The health stations are distributed uniformly and there is neither a jumppad, nor a teleporter. In the middle is a tube, filled with water. You can find a betty and ammo inside. There are no annoying edges and corners, that could disrupt the gameplay. The padshield and padshards aren't distributed well, because they are together with a Pumper and a health station on the upper floor. This makes it easy for the one spawning at the top to win.
1vs1_oregano
So now, we come back to the winning map. Phobos was the only one, who built an over-sized map, in the style of World of Padman. You're in a kitchen of a wrap store. On the floor is a cabinet and a ketchup tube. On the cabinet is the kebab skewer and a lot of vegetables, to fill your wrap with. It's being grilled at the moment. At the top is a shelf with a bubble g, a padshield and a health station. The other padshield is in the cabinet on the floor. The fight concentrates on the floor and everyone is searching for the padshield at the start, so the one who gets both is ahead.
PhobosDoener

Congrats to every winner.

Additionally he worked on the Doom and Wolfenstein 3D engines and he soon will set the cat among the pigeons with Rage.

For exactly that he will get the Lifetime Achievement Award at this year's Game Developers Choice Awards in San Francisco. The award will be given to him on March 11th, 2010.

Meggan Scavio, the Event Director of the Game Developers Conference said: "It's no exaggeration to say that John Carmack and id Software have had a monumental influence on all modern 3D games, but especially the first-person shooter genre. John is one of the key figures in the history of video games, and we're delighted to be giving him the Lifetime Achievement award this year.

Now finally the beta version of his map is available for download!
What has resulted from his long work, is a digital reproduction of his own room, in which you can – like in the Padmaps – romp around, hardly the size of a mouse, and frag each other joyfully.



It can be easily played with two dozen Pads, as it offers an unbelievable amount of space. You can choose between fighting next to the huge flat screen TV, on the writing desk, the armchair, in one of the shelves, or even just stay on the floor.
Also Padbabs shows great attention to detail. In one corner, there is guitar in the shape of the WoP logo, on the shelves there are the “Christmas Carols” by Charles Dickens and a Monk DVD. On the desk is a camera created only of brushwork and most of all, the sprayroom, which is in the interior of a church, is not to be missed.

The map is available for download here. ]]>

Yes, a real airplane map with a realistic cockpit, seats for the passengers, and even playable overhead containers.



Those who love details will find them in this map. For instance, there are numerous colourful buttons and displays in the cockpit, the spray tunnel flashes very colourfully, and the spray room – the interior of a fridge – is an artwork in itself.
Altogether it’s a fabulous map, that’s why there isn’t much more to write about it. You can download the map here.

We appreciate that you stuck with us although we didn't deliver a release this year and couldn't tell you everything about WoP 2.0 that we were cooking up secretly, since we want to make sure it's a fresh experience once it is released.

We are convinced, however, that the year 2010, which also stands for 10 years of PadMaps, will be a good year for WoP. We didn't give up, although there were some obstacles along our way. We have a vision and we want to share this vision with you. The WoP team is eager to get things started again and hopefully supply you with regular news about new features. We would like to thank all of you for being a fantastic community and it's always a pleasure to see what you have added to the game.

Happy New Year! May it be a nice and healthy one with lots of WoP.

Again, like previous years the event will proceed in three phases. Phase one has already started and runs until January 5th of 2010, you are able to nominate your favourite game mods and independent games titles of 2009 for the Top 100 Players Choice list. To do so, simply click on the vote button of a game or a mod profile. In phase two, starting from January 6th to January 21st of 2010, you can vote for your top 3 nominees out of the Top 100 Players Choice list. In early February, phase three of the event will showcase the Players and Editors Choice winners of 2009.

Mod of the Year Awards

Again, due to the delay of WoP 2.0 and as written down in the event rules we won't make it into the Top 100 Players Choice list, even if we would have enough votes. That's why we ask you to pay more attention to the released mods for World of Padman like the X-Mas WoP mod. Check out the WoP mods list and if you want your mod listed there, simply add it.

We are sure the upcoming Mod of the Year Awards of 2009 will be exceptional, even without World of Padman. Prepare to vote your favourite mods and games. ]]>

I work as an IT-administrator and alternatively as a handyman in the shipping trade. So I work with funny things like GPS-navigation (like "tomtom-work", "google-maps", "fleetec" etc.), scheduler-software, forklift driving etc. Ohh and I'm building a new website for my company ? may I post a link here? Oh no, it would be covert advertising :mrgreen:

R: How did you get your nickname?
S: My nickname is easy to explain: Just have a look on the team-page. A friend called me Smiley ages ago (around 1992) and since then I am known and called by this nick. To describe it without pictures: I'm (nearly) always in a good mood which seems to be inborn as an Aquarius. :wink:

R: How did you come to WoP and since when were you a part of the team?
S: Actually I know and play WoP since the first PadMaps. We played a lot on LAN back then (due to a lack of an internet connection). I've been active since about 2006 here in the forum, though I was a real Padmember since I presented the first version of my WoP-Server-Browser and offered to build a whole new website. Or was it since I recommended the team to build an installer for the Quake 3 padmod to get more people playing? (Installing WoP for Quake 3 was really difficult)

R: What's your job in the team?
S: Because no one of the team has the time, mood or know-how to deal with web-programming and administration this task seems to be mine. Unfortunately I'm not very talented with mapping and modding otherwise I could have brought something like this in the World of Padman. :wink:

R: What are you mostly proud of (at WoP).
S: You are right looking at it. :wink: Yes, I mean this website ? has got style, eh? Ok, sadly I have not finished it (I left the team because of some difference in opinions before it was completed) - but nevertheless I am totally proud of it because so many people visited the page - have a look at the counter. By the way, I've got something new and as far as the team is interested, there soon will be an update. :wink:
Further things like the Windows-Installer or some ingame ideas like running faster with the Punchy also came from me.

R: What can we await from you in the future (at WoP)?
S: As I already mentioned, maybe a new website and maybe even a new Windows-Installer; we'll see what time brings. ]]>

<![CDATA[ X-Mas mod Update ]]> http://padworld.myexp.de/index.php?news&update_id=189&news_lang=en Thu, 22 Oct 2009 22:26:56 +0200 hafer Modification http://padworld.myexp.de/index.php?news&update_id=189&news_lang=en http://padworld.myexp.de/index.php?news&update_id=189&news_lang=en Christmas mod. Within the next few weeks dozens of people played this mod on the X-Mas server with lots of snow and pads with funny hats.
So, hopefully Winter comes with lots of snow again this year, we can't control that. We can control the second edition of the Christmas-mod though!
Doomdragon called the community-members about a week ago up to create maps, models, code, or whatever you can make for a second edition of the X-mas mod.
Of course, the completed parts of the last version will be used, as well as some parts that didn't make it into the mod last year, like the freeze-tag-bot support. The map "Pad Crash" is now in Christmasy colours and there is a drawing of a pumper alternative that may be used in the mod.

X-Mas-Mod X-Mas-Mod

If you now want to contribute something to the mod as well, you can announce it here in the forum.
In any case we wish you much fun, both modders and players, with the upcoming version of the mod. ]]>
