 Hello and welcome to the 29th edition of the Weekly News. As with last week, I have been really busy throughout the entire week, but luckily, it's due to fortunate events in my life (as described on the forum :P). However, that doesn't mean there's no Weekly News - there's always weekly news :)
Patch update
It seems like Cyanide uses their beta testers as information officers, so here's the current situation. On the 29th, the first beta-patch was released, but because of some problems with it, Cyanide released a patch for the patch Sunday night. Since then, the beta testers have tested it, and Cyanide have looked through our responses. No one knows when it will be released, but we do know that a beta patch will be released to the community before the final patch is made public on the official website.
Update: As last year, the patch makes the DL-version and CD-version equal to each other, meaning that all languages will be available in the DL-version (instead of just English, Dutch, French, Italian and Spanish.
Another bunch of PCM07 downloads
The downloads keep coming in, and that will probably continue for a long time. We are of course trying to collect them all, but it's not the easiest job in the world ;) Anyway, here's what we have for you this week:
Ozzy, the former organizer of the World Championship in (P)CM, has made two photo packs. The packs consist of high-quality photos, and in one of the packs there's also a nationality flag added next to each rider's photo. The other pack is exactly the same, but doesn't include these flags.
Download package with flags
Download package without flags
Also Andecal23 has made a photo pack. It differs from Ozzy's photo packs by having a background with the logo of the team the rider rides for - this will of course not change, in case the rider decides to move to a new team ;)
Download the package here
And now when you have downloaded realistic photos you might also be interested in real race logos and team logos. Pere has made two packs available, so that you can make your game even better. The packages are really small, so they are definitely worth a download.
Download the real race logos
Download the real team logos
An update for the popular GCT 2007 DB has also been made available. According to the Danish member of the team, Aab-ern, it fixes the problem with the ages of the riders at Rabobank's Continental team and few other minor things. Be aware, that it's not a "real" update. A much larger update is planned to be released after the first patch.
If you want to download it anyway, get it here.
PCM.daily searches crew - again
Back in March, we searched for crew and found some competent people. Since then, we developed and to keep up the standards - maybe even raise them - we are now searching for even more new people. We don't have any requirements except that we expect you to be good at English and that you're interested in doing some work. It's not a really time-consuming job, but we expect you to be around ;) The "job" is (of course) unpaid.
The crew will be divided into groups:
Download Database Updaters - this job is about updating the download database with the newest files. This requires you to have knowledge about FTP uploading and a basic knowledge of how linking works. It's not that difficult, but you won't get this job unless I know you and have some trust in you ;) Who knows - you might end up deleting the entire database ;)
News Spies - this job is simply about gathering news from other communities such as the French, Dutch and German ones. If the news are worth writing a seperate news article that's also needed, but otherwise reporting the news to me is enough.
Event Manager - we always want to be creative and innovative, and therefore we need a person to focus solely on starting new events at this site.
Article Writers - currently, we don't have enough people to write all the articles we would have liked to. Therefore, we are searching for people with knowledge about cycling and / or PCM who wants to write a new article for us once in a while.
If you are interested in any of the above jobs, send me a PM with your application. Thank you! |
