April 1st, 2021Introducing the Longbine July 30th, 2020eR33t is running another PBCUP tournament!Several PBUCP tournaments are lined up, starting at 1 vs. 1 and going up to 4 vs. 4.
The 1v1 tournament will be held this Saturday. Date: August 1, 2020 Time: 2:00 PM EDT / 6:00 PM GMT
There's a $300 prize pool in this tournament! 1st place: $210 2nd place: $90.
Note that this takes place during the Social (distancing) Saturday event, and we encourage you to participate in both.
You can jump directly on the eR33t discord server or look at the #pbcup channel on the Digital Paint Discord server to stay on top of things or ask questions. There's a bot relaying chat between the two. March 29th, 2020DPLogin Server MigrationThe data center that hosted the DPLogin server for the past 14 or so years is shutting down. DPLogin.com and the game servers hosted on it will be moving to a data center in NY. This means better pings for East coast and EU players! It also means things could go horribly wrong, but let's hope that doesn't happen. Hopefully, this will be taken care of in the next day or two, and things will continue to work as they always have.
Once the move is complete, server admins will need to restart their game servers in order for them to show up on the list again. Also, make sure your config file uses "setmaster dplogin.com" and not the IP address directly, as the old IP address will not work. February 23rd, 2020Level Design Tool UpdatesA new version of BSP (.97h) is out! It includes lots of new features and improvements, such as better camera controls (shift + middle click to pan), lighting preview for light entities (click on the little lightbulb), skybox preview that automatically updates with the worldspawn sky setting, and fgd support for easier entity editing. You can grab it on the map editors section of the downloads page and discuss it here.
Also, Trenchbroom will be officially supporting Paintball 2 in the next release. I hope to see lots of awesome new maps in the near future! September 14th, 2019Paintball 2 Build 43 Released!Yeah, it's been a little while, and Build 42 was too unstable to release publicly, but development is still active!
