Installation
How do I install?
unzip the zip in a directory of your choice
on windows: click NullpoMino.exe to start the game
on linux/mac: use run_slick.sh
Will this replace my old NullpoMino?
no
Will my old records be transferred?
No. But from now on, all your stats will be on the website. So whenever you download a new client, your records will be saved.
Can I delete my old Nullpo?
Yes, but you should keep a backup of your replay files in the rep folder as well as your reports in the report folder if you want to keep them.
Using the website
How do I search players?
Use the search box on the top right. It's ajax. Wait for the results to show up.
How can I see all the matches of player A vs player B?
Go to player A's match history via his profile. Use the filter on the top right to filter out matches against player B.
How do I update my profile?
Go to your profile. In the menu on top appears a new menu item: edit profile.
Configuring the game
Wow the game is faster then me, how do I adjust?
Go to Options -> tuning. Adjust DAS and Repeat delay so the game is comfortable to you. Leave diagonal move on auto.
Where can I find my sprint report?
Watch in the report directory for an in depth sprint report. General sprint stats are on the website.
My reports don't contain fumens, where can I change this?
Go to Options -> general. Turn on Fumen Recording. If you want replays of your sprints and yes, even games, enable full frame fumen recording. Be aware that this takes resources. If you experience delays, disable fumen recording for multiplayer. For sprint it only has an impact after the sprint and shouldn't be a big impact, depending on your system. The fumens are sent to the site and will probably be available in a later stadium.
A lot of things are changing and distracting me from my sprint, can I disable that?
Go to Options -> general. Choose the basic view. If you want to see advanced stuff like finesse, choose the advanced view.
Playing
What is a match? I was playing and everything disappeared?
Matches are played first to 5. If you have 5 wins you win the game. If your opponent has 5 wins you lose.
I can't play a tournament match?
You can only play tournament matches if a tournament is going on.

Troubleshooting
When I startup I see a small glimpse of something but then nothing starts and I see nothing
Probably a problem with your graphics driver. Find the log_slick.txt file in the log directory and look at the end of the file. If there is an error about graphics, e.g. about pixel shading your graphic card is not supported. Try to update the drivers of your graphic card (e.g. the latest NVidia drivers).
My game screen stays black when I start.
Try to click in it to activate the game canvas.
When I startup I receive an error: "Version not supported."
Try to update your Java version to at least java 6. Check your java version in the command line (command prompt) by typing "java -version".
I get "org.lwjgl.LWJGLException: Pixel format not accelerated"
Try to update the drivers of your graphic card (e.g. the latest NVidia drivers). If that doesn't help try to update to the latest opengl version (e.g. install the latest divx). If it still doesn't work I'm sorry for that.
