There*`*s a new tab in the main navigation labeled "Lan Map". Let me know what you think of it =)
In order to be listed in it yourself, you must create an event, make it public, and provide a valid address.
Special thanks to google for developing such a fantastic and easy to use API for this feature =)

The Wildcard slots have all been filled! Group rounds are under way!
The tournament is featured (right column) So you can check out the player list, groups, and current standings!
Good luck everyone!
SMS ForwardingMasterlinskey :: 3/20/2009 - 10:01 GMT
A while back there were a few tournaments here for RA3... the players tried to use BBLive to organize their matches, but It didn*`*t work out too well; Most of the messages were missed because there*`*s no easy way to tell if you*`*ve received an IM other than to simply check for them periodically
A simple solution was to add a short audio notification. This helped quite a bit, but it still wasn*`*t quite enough.
Now, you can go to the settings page, and register your phone for sms forwarding. You can disable the forwarding on the fly... so while you won*`*t miss any important IM*`*s, you won*`*t be annoyed by them either.

Multilingual FTWMasterlinskey :: 3/4/2009 - 09:40 GMT
Per the request of AND with a lot of help from Rus_Brain at reps.ru.. I*`*ve developed a small translation function that will translate ONLY the static text witnin binarybeast... ie buttons, window titles, and field labels, and instructions (not the actual user driven content)
The system is in place, yet there*`*s a lot of busy work remaining, not much of the site is actually translated yet.
To change the language, simply select your language (only English and Russian so far) at the top right below the login area
If any of you are multilingual and are willing to contribute some work to binarybeast, we*`*d love to support some more languages!
Again, special thanks to Rus_Brain for coming up with the idea and for supportting it by translating for me.
Instant Messenger AudioMasterlinskey :: 1/6/2009 - 10:08 GMT
ADDED!!! enjoy.. you may have to clear cache to get the change since there was just about no change in filesize
Hopefully you`ll recognize my gosu choice of audio
BBliveMasterlinskey :: 1/5/2009 - 17:18 GMT
lol I never expected to have more than like maybe.. 3 people on at once, so I didn`t have an easy way of testing to find this bug..
The the list of players in BBlive didn`t scroll so the newest visitors would be cut off
refresh and it`s fixed =)
Oh and I added an awesome audio que for when you get a new IM =)
OMFG, Teh Cup! (Group Rounds)Masterlinskey :: 8/25/2008 - 10:08 GMT
The new cup style is up! (lol but I can`t promise that it`s bug free =P, as with everything I make)
You can specify the number of players per group in the tourney info window... The brackets may be generated anytime you wish after starting the groups, but you can`t edit the group rounds after doing so. (you can of course go back to the group rounds status, but that will completely clear the brackets)
After the groups have been drawn, you`ll see 2 panels / scroll areas, on the left is a static list, an overview of the groups and player wins. if players at the top of the groups have a white score field, it means that they the top players in their group and would be sent to the brackets if the admin were to start the tourney then.
Then on the right side is the match fixtures, you can navigate through each round at the top right using the little page stepper
the top 2 players of each group will be drawn in the brackets, but I can allow admins to specify that later if anyone feels we should. we`ll implement a tie breaker round or something later.. but for now, any ties for position 2+ will simply result in all the tied players being sent to the brackets.
To make a Cup style tournament, just make a new tourney and select "Cup" under the style drop down box
UpdatesMasterlinskey :: 7/5/2008 - 08:29 GMT
It`s been a while since my last news post, I haven`t really been doing anything to the site... the only reason I ever do is to simly waste time, it`s not like anyone sees the changes heh, and my job wastes more than enough time =(
Championships are finished.. but they`re not the sort of leagues you`re likely thinking of.. I`m working on those. At least I plan on working on them eventually lol
I added a little quick reply sort of thing.. so you can read the thread while you`re composing your own post.
The little text formatting bar (so few options I`m aware) no longer simply adds tags to the end, it inserts the tags wherever your cursors is.. and if you have something highlighted, it will surround that text with tags and highlight it again =) pretty slick I think
And.. you can put html in now.. it won`t be rendered as html I mean, but you can use arrows / hearts ---> <3
New Home PageMasterlinskey :: 5/15/2008 - 09:32 GMT
Let me know if this is good or bad
I`ve included a list of featured content on the right where the tournies list used to be, and below it I put a box of some basic site stats
I put in a new tab.. with a list of tournies.. with some nice search features.. this method allows the site to display more results at once and makes it look less, 600x400 80 year old style buttons heh
Also, whenever you log in, you`re automatically logged into BBLive.. you can disable this by unchecking the auto login in the bblive window (top left, under Log Out)
When you`re logged into bblive, you`ll be able to chat in real time, and get real time updates on site content.
By the way, if you have binarybeast open in more than one tab / window, bblive will only be connected in the first window.. you can`t log in with the same username twice simultaneously.. but once you close a tab there`s no delay in your ability to log back in
