20-Year Anniversary
« on: May 30, 2018, 07:14:50 PM »
Digital Paint: Paintball 2 turns 20 years old on July 31 2018.

Twenty.

Years.


The first playable beta was released on July 31 1998.

We need to do something special to celebrate.  I was hoping to put out a new release with new stuff in it, but I'm actually going to be away from my computer for most of the time between now and then, so I won't be able to do much.  If you have any suggestions for quick little things, though, let me know!

Since July 31 doesn't fall on a weekend, I was thinking of August 4 so we could schedule a time where more people could play together.  Maybe we do a 20-year celebration free-play (just try to get as many people throughout the day to jump on and play) on the 31st, then have some more structured events on August 4th?

Ok, starting now, you have exactly 2 months to complete a map (8:00 PM EST July 31 is the cutoff, that's midnight GMT).

- Maps can be built solo or in teams.
- Maps must be built during this time frame.
- Any game mode is fine (but try to focus on 1 and specify which you want to be judged on).
- Getting betas out to play before the cutoff date is recommended (follow the usual procedure for releasing maps).
- Max limit: 2 entries per person (ex: 1 solo map and 1 map built as a team, 2 solo maps, 2 team-built maps).
- Custom textures are allowed.
- Follow the guide for releasing maps: http://dplogin.com/forums/index.php?topic=5149.0
- No offensive/explicit/nsfw/etc. content.  Keep it kid friendly.

Feel free to contact me in discord to upload your customized textures. If you want to test your map, you can use the map upload (http://mup.ic3y.de) on my site (alpha versions).

Tomorrow is the day!  To start off with, we'll do a 3v3 tournament starting at 12:00PM (Noon) Eastern time, 4:00PM GMT.  Teams can be clans, premade groups, or, if you're solo, we'll try to randomly group you.

If you want to participate, get on Discord here https://discord.gg/nExEMuM and post your team name and members to the.  If you don't have a team, just post your player name and that you're looking for a team.

If you have a preference for maps to be played, let me know here or on the discord channel.  Hope to see you there!

Happy 20th DP! This game and it's community are a testament to fun and action, modern games are just catching up to the heart pounding experience I had playing it in the early 2000s.
