    Well, here we are, surf skill. The far more fun and actually worth playing version of surf!

    Here's some release notes and other shit while I work on it. Before someone goes OMG CAN I GET COOBES ON IT, yes, you can.


    • We have changed from Surf-Deathmatch to Surf-Skill (Credits to Sconed and Bundt for this).
    • For completing the map, you get a lump sum of cubes (lump amount depends on the difficulty of the map, and Plats get 60% extra).
    • For getting halfway through the map, you get half of the total maps worth. Completion of the map gets you half the worth of the total maps worth. This means in total, you can earn 1.5x the maps total value for a full completion.
    • Platinum and the store is on there. Yep, this means you can use everything on DR, on Surf.
    • You can only get cubes once per map.
    • Don't worry, you get your trail back at the end. This is disabled to give everyone a fair chance
    • This is officially a beta of it, yes you can earn cubes in it, yes there will certain be teething problems in it.
    • I'll get a proper FastDL set up for it tomorrow. Too sleepy at the moment to bother.
    • A full guide on surfing can be found here
      (credits to Bundt). This will be available in game.
    • Yes, this is hard, why do you think the payout is so large? Not giving cubes away for free yknow.
    • There's only three maps at the moment, with a votemap every 25 minutes.
    • I'm tired, I'm going to bed, it's 7:49am.

    Oh, and if you want to connect, ip is 67.205.111.172:27018

    We're using fastdl with bzip2 compression, should be okay.

    That sounds a lot more impressive than it should.

    We dump all the files on the internet for faster speed.
