elo comming soon ???

4#  aadad

uh...n1 :)

Why aren't you in the credits yourself praet? =)

@sOuSiX:
The basic code fixes have already been done ~1 month ago or so, now it has to be implementated to be 'live' (which isn't up to me). But I'd still guess it comes this or next month, who knows :)

Thanks for reporting that, BorisXIV. That problem happens when an older server binary is running and has been fixed.
Thanks for the positive comments. I thought it was a bit too long a post :)

15#  ZzZ|neiT_REMOVED

I have an idea...

Is there posibility, add function which we can delete our own times on website defrag.lanparty-nrw.de ? i'd appreciate that.

I think most of ppl will appreciate that.

16#  <hk>

We wont implement such a function. We did talk about a function which enables you to delete one single record per month. The latter may become reality some day.

17#  BorisXIV

good thinking there hk, ppl would delete everything otherwise

18#  lovet<--ater

this may be a strange proposal but how bout recording top speed per map? a little competition on its own to get the highest speed recorded on the server. So when the server changes map some script checks what high speed who got and put it it in the db. However this can not require a logging in tho, for obvious reasons.

i would like that comp, even tho wesp would rape us all on some maps. But it requires a completely different route and going about a map so you use every map like twice really :) aint that a blast

it might have some use when the highest speed can be connected to who is !rank 1 you get an idea how fast you need to go the beat it. But that might not be true if people start to compete about it tho :)

I would def compete, but it might me more fun in ctf tho, with those narrow paths, bit more challenging.

KALOPS

19#  BorisXIV

whats the reason it can't require a login, a login seems in place to me

20#  lovet<--ater

Anyone on the server can set the speed award, as far as i know you cant restrict that + dont really want to, sincemost people dont log in anyhow. Going to be a bit oldschool method(minnie) -> you are recorded :)

I think of this more as a fun thing then a serious competition since speed awards can be won with random ob's in some cases and so forth, on the other hand can good ranks be claimed with random ob too.

Bottom line: I dont login + I want it :)

FISKBULLE

21#  cLd

I agree with both, the speed record seems cool but I'd say you have to be logged on to get it in the db.

22#  aadad

Being logged is essential for identification.
Even though only only a few people probably care about it, it's something new that could be funny maybe.
Imho it's meaningless on maps like bardok-w3sp, grid2, ocb, etc where there is a BFG, Quad etc in extra rooms.

I'd propose something more complex:
An extra column for !top that contains the maxspeed value for each time the player had during that particular run. It requires a little coding tho (if cgg doesn't spend a few mins to put it into a next release), but is possible

23#  lovet<--ater

Well, if one gets his hands on a "BFG, Quad etc" he got the best route for getting speed award doesnt he? :)

The thing youre proposing is highest speed for the same route as the time route. My point was to find new routes for getting up to most speed. Its kinda tricky to find good acc. lenghts in some maps, especially in vq3 -> the challenge of it all. Maybe both are useful?

24#  <hk>

Reciving the speedaward from the server isn't nearly as easy as reading the times people score. Actually it's a huge hack. It's pretty ugly to store the speeds of everyone on the server. You have to store them for every player until the mapchange. Then you have to check for the best player who was logged in. Besides where should all this be displayed. All this sounds like former times on freestyle server where all the players new to defrag cared most of the speed record instead of tricks.

Here is another Con:
People might try to get the fastest speedrecord instead playing the map. I'm not so happy with that idea. If you want to be the best, be it in DeFRaG runs.

25#  BorisXIV

I have to agree with hk (and lovet if it does go through).

another point I'd like is the standardmap for the servers (when noone is on them) to be test bigbox again, Rly liked that you didn't have to download anything, now it seems to change to the liking of the admin :D (can't blame but still prefer testbigbox (or for it not to change every 2-3 days :) ))
tnx

100% agreed. Glad that admin see what is matter in our great game :-]
