Gamingprojects forums

Although you guys aren't officially responsible for the forums on gamingprojects (or are you?), I was wondering if they are to be moved over to orbzonline. Until Orbz 3 is out, there is a lot of useful information there for new players with regards to installing coursepacks, mapping, new maps by others & general info about Orbz. I'm asking this now since gamingprojects is no longer accessible.

I've tried to help as many Orbz players as I can through that site (as well as others in the community) - seeing it disappear would be a loss for the Orbz gaming community.

Yes us new comers are tired of paying for games that dont work right, this mapping has me crazy, is there not a quick fix, I wish!
Ive tired differant things and still can't play new courses?
and once in a while it says it will not work with a DEMO?? Is that what I bought from GarageGames a DEMO

We are planning to port the Gaming Projects forums over to Orbz Online. In fact the "forums" link on orbzonline.com points to the gaming projects forums.

I just checked though and gaming projects is down. It's not supposed to be until we do the transfer. I'll see whats up.

Banias - mapping in Orbz 2 isn't officially supported. The community has "figured it out" on their own. That is why it's kind of clunky still.

Orbz 3 will have official support for creating custom maps including a new enhanced editor and documentation.

Thanks Justin.

Banias, once the gaming projects forums are back up, check out the postings about installing the map pack. If you are on Windows, the instructions I have posted were quite detailed & should help you out. If you are still having troubles, simply post a message in there & I'l try to help you. You can also ask me when I'm online. I go by the name Slacker. Another thread exists with Mac info. for installing the pack.
