Website for Global Rankings

[yeldar2097]

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

who is "bot" and why has he got so many bs times uploaded?

[yeldar2097]

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

[Connavar]

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 . See ya!

[Connavar]

fixed

[ShawnFrecle]

Thx, everything is fine now

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?

[Connavar]

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

Hi Connavar,

first of all a good weekend. Some questions:

-do you know when you get your new website online?
- can you say something about the new ranking-formula (i'm now updating my excelfile)?
- how do you calculate the points for zone and detonator?

Greetings

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.... ?

[yeldar2097]

Good point

[Connavar]

prttoettoet:
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

[Connavar]

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.

[shapealot]

whats the ELO ranking system ive never heard of it

[Connavar]

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?
