WEB SERVER GOING DOWN FOR REBUILD MONDAY MAY 18TH @ 6PM CDT

May 17, 2015, 08:08:42 PM - fuzztooth

Hello all, you probably rarely hear from me, but I am the hosting provider for
this website.  I wanted to let everyone on here know that our primary server is
going to be going down for a complete rebuild tomorrow Monday May 18th, 2015 @
6pm CDT.  This downtime is expected to last at least 4 hours.  However,
depending how things get shuffled around, this site may be moving to the
alternate server which would reduce the downtime significantly.  If this site is
on the list to be transferred, I will keep you all posted.

OPENARENA COMMUNITY MAPPACK VOLUME 1 V3 RE-RELEASE

January 19, 2014, 06:43:52 PM - Neon_Knight

Due to some certain problems, first with a pair of bugs and then with a non-Free
asset, the OpenArena Community Mappack Volume 1 had to be, well, repackaged. The
good thing is that this time the 100% of it is still GPLv2-compliant. Server
admins who are going to use the pack should delete the old versions of this pack
(and if you were using betas, those as well) and use this new version instead.
Likewise, people who's going to mirror this pack must use this version and
delete the older ones.

And, in the name of the OACMP team, sorry for all of the inconveniences!





For information about the pack, head this way.

We are also gauging interest for the second volume, so if you like to map, we're
waiting for you in the Maps subforum!

SITE THEME CHANGE

October 15, 2011, 11:00:09 AM - fromhell

UPDATE: It has been reverted.
Thanks for the feedback!

I've temporarily changed the theme of the site to gather opinions about it.

It's not permanent; the site will return to its old azure self in a week.



Also, Neko's in the random header.  She's still not done unfortunately, all the
attempts at rigging her so far have been bad.
