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...Quote:

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
:dizzy
*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!:hyper
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 :coffee
:)
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! ;)
So isn't that really Safari's problem and they should be fixing their browser rather than you having to fix your website?
Yes and no - this isn't a standards issue, more an interperatation of the page by the rendering engine issue. I've fixed it now - it might not even have been a problem initially, but recently I was trying to trim the fat from the site and remove unneeded layers to bring the page weight down and get it rendering extra fast.
However, I had trimmed out the styles for the mainPanel box that holds all the content below the navigation, because Firefox, IE, and Opera didn't need the information from those styles to be stated implicitly. F, I, and O rendered the content of that box "protected" from the influence of objects outwith it. Safari was rendering the content in the box after the subnavigation list, making the first box of the mainPanel - the smallElement containing the Team Allegience stats - align itself to the left of the last list item.
To fix it I had to add the value "clear: left" to the mainPanel to explicitly state that "this box and everything contained in it is seperate from the layer above". F, I, and O assumed this to be the case - Safari just needed telling.
It actually looked far worse of a problem than it was - I worked it out in a couple of minutes after realising it only affected the first line of content inside the mainPanel. My initial solution was to tell the first item contained in mainPanel to clear: left, but this wasn't particularly elegant. Once I realised I could apply the clearance to the mainPanel itself and Safari was happy with that, I didn't have to apply it to the child elements of mainPanel.
So in two or three weeks time, when the next version of the site makes it through the arduous process of getting from my machine to the production server, Safari users should have the same experience as the rest of us.
I see exactly the same thing that tapioca mentioned in konqueror and in opera on the linux platform. The Ranking tables, datacast archive and team performance page are just as messed up layout wise.
Also the text in the skin gallery flows out of the box around it:

One feature request from me: it'd be awesome if we could get a ranking overview page once logged in, something simple like a table with all tracks on one axis and all events and speedclasses on the other and list the ranked position of the logged in player in that table. Might even link player names in the normal ranking tables to some profile page which has this ranking overview. Would be cool to see how some of the other players are doing in the rankings without having to traverse all the different events, speedclasses and tracks in the ranking tables.
That fix for Safari should fix the issue in the browsers you mention above, Wich.
I'll revisit the gallery item text, though. :+
Yeah, I would guess so. Safari and konqueror use essentially the same rendering engine and given that it looks exactly alike in opera I'd say the cause is the same. Thanks for giving this the attention that it needs so swiftly, not all web admins are as courtious to the non-windows non-{ie,firefox} using crowd.
But any chance my feature request will be fulfilled somewhere down the line? Were there perhaps already similar plans for a future update? Anyway, not asking when it'll be finished or anything, just asking whether you'd be interested to pursue this in the future.
I'll see what we can do, but it wont be for some time as I'm about to be off for a while. :|
Thanks, cool to hear you're interested.
Going on a much deserved vacation?
One more thing, could you make it possible to search ship skins by team as well as user, makes it easier to find skins for a specific ship?
Would be much appreciated
Apparently we cant do that because it puts too much load on the server - I wanted it to work that way too.
Not as such, no... I'm being put to sleep for an operation on my knee tomorrow and I don't know when I'll be able to walk again, so I'll be off work for at least a week. :|Quote:

Hope you get on alright in hospital
Ouch, that sucks man, hope you'll be up and about again soon. Don't forget to bring your PSP so you can have your fix while recovering ;)
I'll be recovering at home, so I'll be surrounded by my laptop, my PS3 and my PSP. :D
That and some coding books so I can swot up a bit. :banzai
Coding books? Ah, you're one lucky guy. Hope it all goes well for you and you're back on your feet soon!
Another thought
Could you at least make it so we can scroll to a specific number and/or have more skins on a page as it is virtually impossible to scroll through over 1200 skins in blocks of 9.
1200/9=133 (more or less) meaning there are over 133 pages to scroll through 1 at a time, boring!
Please consider it
Exactly what I wanted to say as well :)Quote:

I gather this is an open-source version of Safari that will be integrated into future official Safari releases (or something like that). It's wicked fast-- the daily releases can be downloaded and tested.
Rob, hope your surgery goes well and is relatively pain-free!
Skating is a dangerous pastime. I'd rather drive fast in cars.Quote:

Back on Topic
Is any chance in near future to upgrade New Zones from four packs?
stevie:)
What have I done to it? Years of skateboarding, some american football, and lots of general carelessness. I knew I was having the operation at some point, but sort of hoped it would fall after the European Convention... hopefully there's enough time to recover, although I apparently I wont be able to drive for weeks. :|
Back on topic, yes - all of the zones and all of the tracks will be in place for the next update. The profile data is being stored, it's just not being displayed right now, plus there's an issue with the Mirage team that we need to resolve. Fingers crossed that the next release of the site will complete the job with regard to WipEout Pulse. :)
Just looking at the thumbnail Foxy put up...
Anyone notice the address? Psygnosis lives! :D
I was going to blur the address out initially, but figured someone would get a kick out of it. ;)
