Which is why there needs to be an event(?).

Maybe we should wait until 0.1, then globally annouce it on the forums.

Probably the event will be the best thing to do to make this game/version more popular.Being that nobody is playing.

I think that we should organize a tea-drinking party within the game, seeing as Iceball connoisseurs are all palatable, well traveled gentlemen.

I think this should probably happen in a week or two, as there's one very important question to answer first - what kind of tea will be served? (inb4 iced)

It's on github. You don't need it to connect to a server, only to host your own server (or play on your own). You can either pull it from git, or just run connect-rakiru.bat (I think) to join a server running it. The server is hosted in France, so if you're in Western America or Australia or something, the lag may be rather noticeable.

Edit: Ooh, 999 posts.

ENGLISH BREAKFAST MASTER RACE not like anyone will be able to tell just by looking at it

Anyhow, as long as it's not during the LAN party I'm going to at uni (weekend of 20-21 Apr?), it should be OK.

1. Go here: https://github.com/iamgreaser/buldthensnip
2. Download a .zip
3. Get the latest noob build (at the time of writing, 0.0-32) OR alternatively build it yourself (if you're not using Windows you should be capable of this... you'll need libsackit: https://github.com/iamgreaser/sackit/ )
4. (if you used the noob build) Copy across iceball.exe and/or iceball-gl.exe + all the .dll files from the noob build into the place you unzipped the .zip you got from GitHub
5. Have docs/editor_pmf.txt open in a text editor that isn't Notepad, because you will need to refer to it
6. In a commandline: iceball -s 0 pkg/iceball/pmfedit

Anyway grease, what did you think about our whole discussion about mines? Does it seem plausible?

Maybe you should take the satchel charge block script, and change it so that it explodes when you step on it.

Told you in IRC already, putting here too for posterity. Yes, I'll do it when we get a loadout menu. It should be easy (the mines, not the loadout menu).
