Thanks for the heart felt plea DD, I'll give it some consideration.:) I was using firefox for a while and tried safari but my son and wife know what they are doing with I.E so don't want to confuse them anymore really with another one.
Have just downloaded Opera though. ;)
Hi Connavar,
I'm trying to better my personal records. For moderate players like me (i use all the speedpads, the boost and the normal br's (but no tricks bsb, shortcuts, complex br's, because I am not able to do them), it isn't almost possible to get higher points than ca. 300 in comparions to the "insane" (i mean very good:clap) times. If you would give 200 or lower points to a non played game, we "standard" players could also get higher on the ranking list. I think now 450 points for a non played game is way too high.

I think you can reach 600-700 without using any special technique, just good
racing lines with sideshifting, and normal barrel rolls...
But don't worry, the formula is being modified, in fact it's completely different
from what it was, will make everyone happy (except the next last ranked user)
Me again?:p
Haha, no, it won't be you ... quoique
Je ne comprend pas. Je suid de Pays Bas :rock
"alhoewel" +/-
Connavar,
thank you for the :(support
Hi Connavar,

Yeah, next week; and thanks!
I really mean it.
Thanks to your site, I (and i think all the other players) am motivated to better my own records although I never will get close to the records :? (but that's my "problem":brickwall).
Greetings

Practice makes perfect:)
That's true, but you need also some capacities :nod

sry if this have been answered previously but... who the **** is bot and why are he allowed so many obviously fake #1's? lol
As I understand, once implemented, the Bot will disappear and it's times will be used as a judgment of valid entries for all tracks/events.
The Bot has been beaten before and as of this writing only 192 records have been entered for it. There still is a ways to go before 'the Bot' can fade into the database...
I made a mistake on my time on MP/VinetaK/Flash (should be 1.45.23 instead of 1.43.99) but it's impossible to correct. Using IE8.
Doesn't delete in IE8? Deletes fines in Firefox 3.5.3 (click EDIT under date and you can delete if it's your entry/ID).
edit: I changed it for you. If you can't get delete working, just can also simply add another record in that event and the old/incorrect time will be replaced.
Thanks a lot :+
I may have to go through all of my records and actually start adding some onto the site lol...!
added 30 records today. first update in ages.
i'd do the same but it's such a pain in the arse filtering through all the records and making sure i'm not getting it wrong because the times haven't updated...
me's lazy :P
who is "bot" and why has he got so many bs times uploaded?
The bot has been put in place by connavar to have unbeatable times. This is so that later on he/she/it can be implemented in such a way as to prevent people from adding bs times. Creates a general standard cos the formula stays the same etc...
I think I have that right :D
That's right, I already have a new version of the website where the bot can be
hidden/displayed, and where the first non-bot player receives 1000 points
(in that case, the bot gets more than 1000 points!), that way, everyone is
happy; and of course every new record better than the bot is ignored.
And the new ranking system? :?

Great Connavar, I've just discovered the site few days ago, and it is great! But one thing maybe is wrong... When I click to my country flag (Italy) for country ranking, I'm together with themaderfacker which is Spain, and Assoartu64 (Italian). And the others italian, il_Nik, Alteregorr aren't there... Don't know if you are aware of this, but I hope you can fix it :D. See ya!
fixed
Thx, everything is fine now :D
I'm having difficulty adding my time. I have a 5th global ranking on a track, but when I add my time, it doesn't work. Also, when I log in, as soon as I click something else, I get instantly logged out again. Can anybody help?
You can't add a time if you're not logged in, and you probably can't log in
because you're using Internet Explorer, right?
I tried using AOL as well, but still couldn't get it to work. I'll try again later and let you know how it goes :)Quote:

Hi Connavar, thanks for your work. Will this feature (requested by Yeldar) be included in the next version ? Thanks ;)

Just a question: Is there a way to copy/paste a link to the website which will go directly to a specific part of the site? i.e. can i past a link somewhere which will go to Speed Lap - Overall Ranking etc.... ?
:g
Good point :P

Thanks, good weekend to you too, it will be online very soon, working a bit
more on it right now; the formula is now FAIR but more complex, so you're
not the last player at all, I will explain more when it's online.
Whats the plan for the events section? how will it work, and when will be it be available mainly.
I could make a great deal of use of that :)
edit:
also, you should consider next to the FURY pic placing a little "x number of people in chat" button to encourage more live banter :)
Good idea! I also did something else that you will like :)
About the events, we'll have a version in 2 weeks, and then we'll see the user
feedback, basically you can create events and add any result + ELO ranking can
be calculated.
whats the ELO ranking system ive never heard of it
It's used for chess rankings ...

Connavar, i'm really hesitant to enter all of my unsynced records as they might not update when the leaderboards get fixed. I don't like the idea of potentially having alot of records on your site that aren't on the official leaderboards... it just doesn't seem right. That being said, perhaps you could introduce a marker of some kind we can use to signify records as being unsynced?
