October 18th, 2006Build 17 Status UpdateIt's been a while, I know. I've been making slow but sure progress on build 17. While there's still a lot left to be done, I do have something you can play with now. The web portion of the login system isn't feature complete yet, but it is functional. You can give it a try here. Keep in mind that this is only the test system and may have its contents wiped or run into other problems since I'm still working on it. Give it a try and post some feedback in the global login implementation thread.
As always, if you want more information on the status of the development, visit my .plan thread. Most everything is going to the global login thread, though, as that's where most of my development time is being spent. September 10th, 2006Vote for Paintball 2!Planet Quake has a poll for the best game based off of the GPL Quake series engines. If you like this game, be sure to head over there and vote for it. The poll is on the right side of the main page. July 19th, 2006The Forums and Serverlist are DownDelirious has been trying to contact the company hosting the coloc server for dpball.com but has not been able to get ahold of them. I'm not sure when dpball.com will be back online. Hopefully it's not something serious. The secondary serverlist at http://digitalpaint.planetquake.gamespy.com/serverlist.php should still be functional for the in-game browser, but the external serverbrowser.exe will not function without dpball.com. The forums will not be accessible at all until dpball.com is back up. June 26th, 2006QuakeCon / DPCon Date and Location SetApparently there were issues securing a date for QuakeCon, but it's set now! QuakeCon will be held on August 3 - 6 in Dallas, TX at the Hilton Anatole Hotel in their Trinity Exhibition Center. DPCon will basically be a sub-con of QuakeCon. Registration starts on 28 June 2006 at 22:00 EDT. They have fewer BYOC slots available this year, so you might have to sign up quickly in order to get in. Visit quakecon.org for more details and to sign up. There's also a QuakeCon thread in our forums here if you have any questions or comments about it. Hope to see you there! June 1st, 2006PBCup Summer 2006XtremeBain has posted the details for the upcoming PBCup season over at pbcup.com. There's also a forum thread about it here and a German translation here. They Dugg It!toM|vendettA posted an article on digg.com about Paintball2, and enough people dugg it to make it front-page news. There have been a ton of new players recently as a result. Hopefully some of them will stick around and become part of the community.
