Word on WoP 2.0 is still very low, but we always keep the community and the things beside the development on the game in mind and that"s why we have worked on the forum. This is now all new and based on a new boardsoftware. There are multiple reasons for this change but security issues of the old board and a better admin-panel on the new one are the main ones.
Big thanks go to smiley, who converted the old database to fit to the new forum. He also build the theme, which is now nearly looking like the old one, so that everyone should feel well in our new home. |

After a long break we go on with our PadMember interviews and now it"s Smiley"s turn. He is no longer a real Padmember, but anyway, he did a lot for the World of Padman. Read on:
Reporter: Tell us something about yourself.
Smiley: Err, I should tell something about myself. Well I"m the Smiley (some actually call me Dennis), I"m 32 years old and live in the middle of the beautiful county of Hesse (a state in Germany). 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 
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. 
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.
R: What are you mostly proud of (at WoP).
S: You are right looking at it. 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.
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. |

Some of you may recognized that something is going on with the community board. This is due to Smiley working hard on the database and the board software to bring it up to date. Please be patient and don"t be sad if you find the board in maintain mode or completely offline. We hope to reanimate the board very soon.
[update]
OK, the community board is available again and you are able to log in. Please notice that there will be changes during the next days/weeks and don"t panic because of the used standard layout. We will replace it with something more suitable soon. Also we will review some of the old board content so if you"re having issues or missing stuff please drop us a line. Now go checking out the new board software and update your account data. |

Winter comes every year at nearly the same time. And because Christmas is the highlight of this season, doomdragon and PaulR started to integrate the pre-Christmas atmosphere into the World of Padman last year. On the 1st of December 2008 they released the 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.
 
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. |
