2008-05-18: WipEout Pulse added to the records system

[Asayyeah]

i agree with you pilots, thx Rob

[Frances_Penfold]

Thanks Rob and others for clarifying the issue with the Speed Laps / Time Trial entries

In some ways using the Speed Laps for Time Trial laps allows Pulse to be more similar to Pure, which as I recall by default includes record lap times from "Free Play" mode into Time Trial records. So inasmuch as "Free Play" has been replaced by "Speed Lap," the plan outlined by Task and others makes the records for the two games more similar. Am I remembering this correctly?

not only 512, mulitiply that by the number of ships as well, since you can enter times for all of the ships. We will see Steven next year around this time with all of those ready to be entered

Just think, if Speed Lap had been included as a separate event there would be even MORE records to keep track of!

That`s me everything up to date, I have alot of missing bits, but, I did lost my euro`s records so, I`m using NA`s records.
Yes, it is 512 for one ship!

Now, I will be monitoring the rest of the records and I will do my best to keep updating.

Pulse has already overtaken original Wipeout on the record stats, which is just wrong. XL won`t survive much longer. And for about 2 hours Stevie was the most prolific pilot in the tables, though it`s quality not quantity that counts here.

[Frances_Penfold]

Yes, it'd be nice to have a push for folks to go back and submit records for the older games-- the record list for Wipeout 64 is particularly awful

Perhaps having some sort of combined rankings table would help encourage folks to go back to the older games?

Regarding Wipeout Pulse, well, I want to get my times submitted but Christ, I'm gonna need some time to actually do it! It's what, maybe an hour or more of work?

[infoxicated]

I decided to sort it by release date, with newest first, although that does push the earlier games right down to the bottom of the list. I did consider sorting it by number of records, too, but then WipEout Pulse and WipEout HD would have ended up at the bottom!

To be honest, the J Version of WipEout 3 is a pretty pointless entry - along with WipEout 64, but it's not as if their presence ramps the overheads up to any great extent.

[Mad-Ice]

Yeah I just noticed that you changed the order of appearence, of the different versions. I for one, do like it! Especially now, because I don't have to scroll all the way down to enter records.

About wipeout64, sooner or later I will subscribe records for this version. I know JABBERJAW has some (read a lot of) records to subscribe. If only he had the time and Asayyeah too.

BTW I really like that speedlap and fastest TT lap are the same.

[JABBERJAW]

Yeah, I'll start entering times soon (this time it means in less than two months, not two years) for both of these games. IF I enter a time for every ship on every speed class, it might just be the most popular game (wipeout 3j)

[TheFrostE]

i started entering times, but i wont keep up with everyone else, as i am playing much more XL than pulse right now

[Albino Ace]

Damn...I sincerely apologize for this.

I had just finished Outpost 7 Black on Rapier TT, so I was moving on to Single Race Rapier class at TJ White. However, when I entered race records for there, supposedly, it turns out I was still under Outpost 7 Black for track...so I ended up putting TJ white times there inadvertantly...and now it won't let me delete them.

So, I figured "ok, I'll skip to Outpost 7 Black and just edit that with the legit time" but when I tried to edit my race record it turns out I was editing my LAP record. As a result, its now basically showing the same record as spots #2 AND #3 on the table. (outpost 7 black, Rapier class, single race, race time.) The edited race record didnt replace the existing one as I had hoped it would. >_<

Hopefully Foxy or someone can delete one of the times...I apologize for the inconvenience I know this will cause.

EDIT: Well, I managed to edit the 2nd race time into a lap time...but I think us being able to delete our own records would be helpful in the future...maybe its just me, I dunno... o_o

[lunar]

You have got some seriously good times there. And with Feisar too.... looks like it has finally become one of the faster Wipeout ships.

[Albino Ace]

Or maybe its just who is piloting it.

Anyway, if sometime in the future a strange scenario occurs like this, maybe having a functional delete button would be nice? When I clicked it, the page would, in effect, just end up refreshing, with the delete button red instead of blue.

[Darkdrium777]

You've got to click on it again to delete it. It's kinda like the "Are you sure you want to do this?" of Windows

[Albino Ace]

Ahh, is that what the color change is? I thought the red meant "Nope. No deleting record for you. Haha"

Hmm...if thats what it is, nevermind then. Thanks!

[infoxicated]

Sorry - I thought that was a fairly obvious thing, but perhaps I presumed too much.

Next time I get the chance to work on the site I'll add a message that prompts you to confirm a delete, rather than just changing the button colour.

[Avenger2197]

There are some of my Phantom TT records. Enjoy, and I'll add more later.

[Rapier Racer]

I dunno I thought it was blindingly obvious how to delete records! What you been smoking AA?

[Albino Ace]

When the button turned red, it wasn't so obvious for me.

What's obvious to one person may not be to another...anyway, thanks, Foxy!
