COTGonline Update (v1.30) - August 8th, 2007

[BDS]

* NEW: The title change system has been revamped. You will now add a title as an additional step after you have added a fall to a match. I wanted to avoid adding any other steps, but the flexibility that this offers was too much not to implement. Most of your old title changes have been ported over into the new system. The only title changes you should have to recreate will be ones that were decided in something other than a standard singles (1v1, 1v1v1, etc) or tag (2v2, 2v2v2, etc) match.

* NEW: You can now declare a title vacant. Title changes can either be associated with a match or a segment, but must be associated with one of the two. So, if you want to declare a title vacant, it either has to have a match or a non-wrestling segment as the catalyst.

* NEW: You can make someone the champion after a title match in which they weren't wrestling. The Amazing Mann vs. Endgame, and if Mann wins, Strutter becomes the Galaxian Champion - you can do that now.

* NEW: A championship lineage screen is available when looking at a title's history

* NEW: You can assign a champion by write-in. I recommend not using this for wrestlers or tag teams, because that takes away from your ability to cross-reference. But it's perrfect for things like a belt held by an entire faction ...

* NEW: The aCe Battlefield Title has been officially added, now that it can be supported.

* NEW: A new system for managing downloads has been implemented.

* NEW: Look for a cool new product to be made available through COTGonline sometime in the near future.

* TWEAK: When you create a new card, your working dates will automatically be expanded to encompass the date of the new card.

So how is this done? I made a segment where the Greek Gods will vacate their universal tag-titles at the end of 2097 because of their retirement, but I'm not seeing a "vacate title" option.

Thanks,

and...never mind. Figured it out that after you add the segment, go back in and "manage" the segment there's a "add a title change to this segment."

I'll be more diligent next time.

Don't like this change. I can get used to it,
but it doesn't work for the tag teams.
As you make the switch to the new tag team champions, it just declares the tag team titles vacant...

I'll put this in the bug thread if you like.

It was overwhelmingly what the community wanted when I took a poll on it, so it's what we've got. Plus, it does lay the groundwork for me to do a whole bunch of new, cool stuff with the champions - integrating them into the rankings, counting title reigns, etc.

Yes, please! I didn't test it with tag teams, but I think I'll know the problem and I'll fix it ASAP. It may not be today - I've got a big site move I'm in the middle of now - but it'll be no later than tomorrow.
