July 24th, 2007Digital Paint Cup ResultsThings were delayed a bit, but tournament mastermind XtremeBain came to the rescue to help make sure the first Digital Paint Cup was a success.

Here are the places:
1st - [20ID]
2nd - DaRkNeSs
3rd - College Court

More details are available on the GGC News Archive and the Digital Paint Forum.
July 3rd, 2007Digital Paint CupGlobal Gamers Center is hosting a 4v4 tournament for Paintball 2.  It will take place on July 14, 2007, but you need to get your team registered beforehand.  The tournament is sponsored by NVIDIA and offers prizes such as G15 keyboards, ThinkGeek gift certificates, and Nerf guns.  Visit dpcup.globalgamerscenter.net for details.
June 27th, 2007Build 19 ReleasedThis is primarily a bug fix release to resolve some of the issues with the global login system.  It also simplifies the login interface a little.  By popular demand (or more accurately, popular complaint), I also included some Quake2 style crosshairs.  Crosshairs 11-13 are made to look like Quake2's crosshairs 1-3.  These were created from scratch to avoid any copyright issues (the reason I removed them in the first place).

Here's a complete listing of what has changed:
- Bugfix: Fixed incorrect password error when password is correct after using remember password or changing password. 5:58 PM 6/4/2007
- Bugfix: Fixed crash with invalid rscript files. 5:43 PM 6/5/2007
- Bugfix: Fixed crash on error resulting in shutdown or failure to load game module.
- Tweak: Cached DNS for communicating with login server to remove lag spikes.
- Tweak: Simplified profile/login menus. 2:37 AM 5/31/2007
- Media: Added crosshair 11-13 which look similar to crosshair 1-3 in Quake 2. 3:36 AM 6/5/2007
- Media: Fixed bug in soccer1.bsp where players could get launched out of the map with "pong_nokill" enabled. 3:23 AM 6/6/2007

Global Login Database Goes LiveThe core features have been implemented.  Testing is done.  The critical bugs have been fixed.  This is the real deal now, hopefully.  If you registered an account before June 27th, 2007 8:00PM EST, you need to register a new account.  Only one account is allowed per person.  I will be enforcing this now.
June 4th, 2007Slight DelayI should never say when to expect a release.  I know better than that.  I was planning to have a new version out by now, but I decided it would be better to spend more time on the login interface, since some people seem to be confused by it.  There were some things that weren't as intuitive as they should be, since I was originally planning on making account registration in-game and I kind of rushed build 17 and 18 out since I just wanted to be done with them.  It also took longer than planned to add and test some of the administration functionality of the global login system.  It shouldn't be too much longer before a new release comes out, so stay tuned.
May 25th, 2007Status UpdateDespite switching over to a UDP system, Build 18 still had some lag spike issues when contacting the login server.  This was determined to be caused by DNS resolving the dplogin.com hostname.  I believe the issue has been resolved.  Expect a new release some time next week.

Also, I apologize for taking so long to switch over from the test database to the live one.  I'm still implementing administration features and doing a lot of testing.  I don't want to be testing things like account deletions on the live database in case something goes wrong.  I will probably try to coincide the database switch with the build 19 release, just for simplicity.
