Gas Station Map for PKA reviewed at LVL - Posted: 8/1/04 by Team Evolve Anton, one of our favorite mappers for Painkeep Arena, has created quite a few addon levels for Painkeep arena, and we have just received word that one of his latest map "TNK Gas Station" has been reviewed by the folks at LVL. Here's a blurb from the review: A large chunk of earth, with a gas station and a few taxis floats in the sky. Thats the setting for this Pain Keep Arena level. The map is essentially an open, space map with a realism theme. The game play is consistent with the theme in standard Q3A. With the Pain Keep mod, its a lot more fun. The size and openness of the map makes the Railgun a weapon of choice.Head on over to LVL to read the full review, download the map, then hop onto a PainKeep Arena server with us! New Maps & Old Demos posted! - Posted: 7/29/04 by Team Evolve The demos for our Official Battlezone mission pack The Red Odyssey, as well as the demo for Zaero, our commercial mission pack for Quake II have been posted. The Red Odyssey demo will only run on early versions of Windows like 95 and 98. We can't guarantee it'll run on 2000 or XP. It's an old demo made in 1998, but a lot of people have asked for it, so it's now available. We hope you download them and enjoy the hell out of them. Also, due to multiple requests, we've posted the source for Zaero. You can find it on the products page in the Zaero section. We hope all aspiring programmers can find out how we did all that cool stuff in Zaero and use the knowledge to make some cool games of their own some day! In PainKeep Arena news, our lead mapper ThinG has been hard at work coming up some new maps for your fragging pleasure. Expect custom textures, shaders, models, music and new sounds! It'll be a fairly large download but well worth it! We'll be posting screenshots of all the hot PKA action soon! Painkeep Arena 3.0 Released! - Posted: 4/29/04 by Team Evolve

The source materials will enable Level Designers to develop PainKeep Arena maps using a custom entity file as well as map source from a production map. The Painkeep Arena Map Resources can be downloaded here. April Fools Day! - Posted: 4/1/04 by Team Evolve Yes, it's April Fools day and we'd love to do nothing else but annouce a release, but we're just not that mean! PainKeep Arena 3.0 still isn't 100%. It's roughly 99.73% complete now. We're in the process of putting the lid on it, and if all goes well, you'll see it sooner than you can imagine!

Evolve in New Gmax Book! - Posted: 12/26/03 by Team Evolve  The Space Pit of Death  Ladders in PainKeep Arena? Oh Yeah!  PainKiller tries to SNAP! a PKA BearTrap on Biker Internal Code Released - Posted: 7/10/01 by Team Evolve PKA 2.5 has been released internally for some testing. There are quite a few code changes, but here's a taste of what we are testing right now. There is a new alternative feature on the dragon, a bit of defense added for the Chain Lightning Gun, respawns have been set to allow you to spawn furthest from where you just died, (this will reduce instant frags by your recent opponent), the autosentries will no longer shoot at spectators, nailgun damage has been improved a little bit, dropped weapons will only stay around half the amount of time they used to, and a Launched Gravity Well will bounce more!!! There are many more coding changes that have been made and you'll be able to taste them all very soon if all goes well in testing this week, and judging from all the testing we did yesterday, it won't be long. PKA Map Update: If you did or did not know, let me just remind you, the full version of PainKeep Arena has 20 maps. That's 19 DM maps and the HUB. Of these maps all but two are basically ready to go and the HUB has been coded to allow any of them to work with the new release, so expect more maps to be released shortly as well. PainKeep Arena Review & New Maps Soon! - Posted: 7/6/01 by Team Evolve Here's a blurb from a recent PainKeep Arena review, pass it on! We're not going to go into each and every single PKA map, mainly because I'd be here for weeks typing away trying to give you a review on the maps that would do them justice. The arenas are very well designed and keep the action flowing smoothly on almost all of the maps that are included in the beta. All of them include cool little effects and they all have special sounds in them. This mod is worth it almost just for the maps in my opinion. Read the FULL REVIEW Also, new maps very soon, new code base, VERY, VERY SOON!!! We're almost done with all maps and code. An internal release of the new code is due 7/8 and if all goes well we'll release within 10 days as well as some new maps within the next week. Sgt Hulka just finished compiling PKA12 (The Other Side) as well as a minor revamp of PKA1 (The Prison) based on player feedback. PKA1 has not been changed much, mostly minor cosmetic changes and a few lighting changes. PKA12 is more of a night level with some dark areas and a nice night skyline. All other maps are roughly at the 98% completed stage. When you see what we've been working on finishing, you'll need a new drool cup! PainKeep Arena 2.4 Released - Posted: 4/28/01 by Team Evolve A number of things have been tweaked in this release and there are 4 new maps for you to explore.

PainKeep Arena Review - Posted: 4/18/01 by Team Evolve Dole out massive dollop of abuse, and have fun doing it. In my humble opinion (as if), Pain Keep Arena is the only good reason to own a copy of Quake 3 arena. It's 2 am and I have to get up in about 2 hours. Why am I up? Pain Keep Arena. PKA has one simple goal, destroy the other guy. It's all about the frag count baby. In a world gone "Team play" crazy, it's nice to see someone taking time out to make the Deathmatch paradigm valid again. But unlike other games or mods, PKA says "Beat em with your mad skills, or just outthink the sorry sack of guts". Yes good readers, in PKA the mind is the weapon. You get the weapons, tool, and traps to make your way to the top of the score board. It's all about how you implement them. Lets take a quick look at what Pain Keep Arena has to offer. Full Review at Geek Girls PainKeep Arena Beta 2 Released!!! - Posted: 4/1/01 by Team Evolve Team Evolve has released the Beta 2 version of PainKeepArena. PainKeep Arena is a mission pack enhancement to Quake 3 Arena that adds delightful weapons such as Beartraps, Autosentries, and the much-feared Gravity Well. The Beta 2 Release is a full-featured mission pack - containing 9 awesomeweapons, 10 custom maps and 3 new bot opponents.  Happy Fraggers Feeling the PAIN! PainKeep Arena can be played in single player mode (play against bot opponents) or multiplayer mode, with game types of Free for All, Tourney, Team Deathmatch, and CTF (CTF maps are not included). Team Evolve invites you to come online and drop a Beartrap on someone. PainKeep Arena Beta 2 Mirrors - Posted: 3/26/01 by Team Evolve I'm not sure of the size or the filename yet, but while Ergo and the rest of the team are getting the pieces together and the install gets written, by yours truly I might add, we're looking for a few mirrors to put this puppy out on. WarT over at OzQuaker.com has already volunteered his bandwidth, and we're always looking for more. If you'd like to mirror this, I'm going to post links to mirrors in the following way: <group/site> <city> <country> Team Evolve Indianapolis USA So I will need to know the name of the group/site and the name of the city & country where the SERVER which will have the download on it is physically located (not your group's HQ, unless they're the same). If you would like to provide the URL to your website I'll put that up too for the favor. I'm not yet sure of the final name of the *.exe, but let's assume it will be "pkabeta2.exe". With the requested information, please also include the actual URL this will reside at, such as www.whatever.com/files/pkabeta2.exe You can notify me through email: spider@teamevolve.com I'll send you an ACK when you get the info to me, then another mass mailing to everyone who's "signed up" (heh) sometime late on Sunday letting you know where the *.exe is. This will be a Win32 install. I can let you know of a *.zip if you need another platform, but that will be just an unzip-and-copy type thingy. Remember, this is BETA 2, nothing's gone gold yet. PainKeep Arena Beta 2 on April 1st - Posted: 3/25/01 by Team Evolve If you assume this is some sort of April Fools Joke, you're WRONG. We are geared up to release the 2nd Beta of PainKeep Arena on April 1st, 2001. It will include the following: All PKA Weapons, nine maps, and the PKA Voting HUB!

Painkeep Arena Beta 1 Review - Posted: 1/31/01 by Team Evolve Frag-Energy just posted a review of Painkeep Arena beta 1, a MOD for Quake3. It takes a closer look at all the sides of this wonderful MOD; new weapons, new maps, new pick ups. Here’s a snippit: "Overall the new weapons/pickups if used intelligently add a whole new level of playablilityto Q3 Death Match, as well as a whole new set of tactical options. The anti-personal devices for instance is something that is long overdue in Q3 Deathmatch. No longer can you mercilously pursue happless victims wittling down their strength. They might have a nasty surprise in the form of a Gravity well when you turn the next corner."
