Am I the only person who can't see the AG-SYS-logo in the left column? I get an AG_Systems.
Same occured to EG-X if I remember correctly.

No your not thats how I see it too.
i cant see it either
Yeah, both AG Systems and EG-X are broken images - they'll be fixed in the next version.
1) just wanted to find out if you're in the top 100 and you play against someone in the bottom of the ranking tables, do you still get points for winning? also...
2) will you gain the same points for winning someone who is higher rank as you like a lower ranked opponent.
3) if in a multi-player game against say 4 opponents, if you come in 2nd, will you get points? or you're considered the 1st loser
4) had 92664 points, won 8 games 0 losses and uploaded my profile, all against different opponents..checked back and points dropped to 92656.
weird
*on another note... here comes a new cheater "hyperzyph". check talon's junction white TT best lap on the wipeout-game page

I guess unless the game gets patched and you can only upload a 'patched' profile to a clean version of the website, the issue will never be truely fixed
And there's already a cheating bastard on top of the Talons Junction table...
Reseting the scores everytime won't help the problem, I guess it's time we get a patch?
Please? Pretty please?
This cheater thing is the primary reason I stick exclusively to the Rapier and Phantom class; the cheaters don't seem to have the skill to handle the extra speed so are largely absent from the top of those tables.
- F
Resetting the times probably *does* help to some degree, because most cheaters probably get bored of the game and move on-- while hardcore Wipers stick around and can update their profile.
On balance, I think we are relatively lucky with the apparent small numbers of cheaters in the upper rankings-- probably the kinds of folks that would cheat don't have the inclination to put lots of time into time trials, especially at the faster speeds, and therefore don't rank very highly, as Flashback says.
An additional easy fix for removing cheaters from the leaderboards would be to have a hard cut-off, below which times would not be accepted. For example, it seems pretty unlikely that lap times below 28 seconds are real for Talon's Junction White-- so why not eliminate those times? If the cut-offs were adjustable, they could be tweaked if legit wipers were able to obtain faster times.
Or maybe it's a bad idea to be identifying hard cut offs so early in the game's lifespan...
It says they are going to keep an eye out for cheaters, but how much can we actually expect them to actively monitor the record tables? Time consuming activity.
I assume Mirage isn't in the Wipeout-game.com system yet just leaves a blank space in the team column when you set a time with them.

Another website update and it's a good one! The pics for the team rankings all work and look lovely - really nicely put together. The skin gallery has been expanded hugely and is now a part of the download section with a ridiculous amount of skins to choose from, which is excellent. Also screensavers have been added!
There's alo a link to the Auricom pack and the rankings page have team icons now. A great update!
The site's been overhauled again, nicely!
Now you can search the entire ship skin gallery under downloads by user!
Also, there is now a link to the unreleased Auricom download pack for £1.99 (not sure about other currencies) and you can view the data releases for each team under their page.
Plus, you can now view zone records by zone no. or score and under 'team', instead of just saying team, it shows you (most of) their logo.
There may be other things but I only spent 5 minutes looking, if you find something else, congratulations, it's yours to tell us all about!
(I wrote this before Dogg Thang posted his, then adapted it after seeing his post, sorry for any repeated information)
I have a problem with the site: I only can have 4 skins, when I try to save a 5th skin it gives me an error >> -20005
Any clue?
I'll get that checked out tomorrow.
There has also been an overhaul to the teams page... which was, admittedly, mostly me trying to justify the new JavaScript book I had ordered!
Thanks in advance! ;D
Ah, I hadn't noticed the team change. Like your fancy slide across to get to the stats! Very nice indeed. The whole website looks excellent now.
Nice enhancements, Rob ! You should try it in Safari, because the frames don't display correctly (at least on a mac).

But it works well in Firefox…
That is miles out - the mind boggles how a browser can be that far out from all the others. It's not like I'm doing anything particuarly clever, either - just floats, and it all validates, too.
Man, I hate Apple. Firefox isn't pretentious enough a name for us, so we'll have to stir the pot and release a buggy piece of crap called Safari that all the Macsturbators will rush to use because it completes their pretentious iLife. Of course, that'll mean that web developers have to make extra effort to allow for all its quirks, but it's got a wonderfully pretentious name so we don't care. Overpriced laptop that you cant replace the batteries of, anyone?
*ahem*
Yeah, I'll take a look at it... but I have validating style sheets and html and roughly 97% of the market covered, so it might not be a long look.
Sorry to give you some more work… But thanks from the (pretentious) 3% community
The thing is, I'm not careless with this kind of thing - I take a lot of pride in the way I put websites together and it was a long road through the browser wars before Firefox and IE emerged with rendering engines that you could just about treat as equal.
With WipEout-Game.com I actually do treat them as equal - there are no tricks or hacks in there to allow for one browser doing something freaky. The site has two style sheets - one for the big version and one for the PS3/PSP, and I'm careful that the HTML that's generated by the server is clean enough that those two style sheets can make the code fit the platform. It's the way it should work in an ideal world.
And then Apple comes along with Safari and it's 1997 all over again.
Yay!
