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

[infoxicated]

As the title says - I've added WipEout Pulse to the records system. In this case, with there being almost zero difference between the versions of the game released, I've just created a single entry for WipEout Pulse.

If anyone has any objections to this, then speak your mind or forever hold your peace.

Oh yeah, I haven't put any records in to test it... so I don't know if it works or not, but I'm pretty sure it does. Probably.

[infoxicated]

Okay, I can confirm that it does indeed work as intended.

Not from me testing, but because Stin is in there already like a rat up a drainpipe, adding records like a man posessed.

[Rapier Racer]

Good news and lol @ stevie

[stin]

What records, where????, did I do that?!!!

Seriously, yes, I`m a slightly possessed...well yeah!

Thank you for adding new Pulse records up.

[JABBERJAW]

much better, thanks. I like adding records like this, because I can self correct. Also, we get to put in records from any ships we like

[Frances_Penfold]

Awesome! I'll try to add some records later this week. Thanks, Rob!

...Stin is in there already like a rat up a drainpipe, adding records like a man posessed

Ah, you brits have the best metaphors

[lunar]

Great news, Rob, thanks. I`ll be testing it out sometime to make sure that the lower reaches of the tables work ok!

[Mad-Ice]

Thanks Rob.

This is superb! Especially that we can put records in from every ship, like Jabberjaw said. I am also very happy that we can put records in for the tracks from the packs.

Will there be a difference between the PSP version and the PS2 version of Pulse concerning records?

Stevie just knows how to give credit for all your hard work Rob!

[infoxicated]

Lets cross the PS2 Pulse bridge when it comes - with the Dual Shock 2, I think the handling will be different enough that it will warrant a separate table, though.

[Albino Ace]

"O RLY!?"

Hm...my times shall cover the table like the Black Plague did Europe back in the day... (...either this afternoon or tomorrow, when I can access my PSP and the records on them. )

Thanks, foxy!

EDIT: I've already put up my Venom records...

[Asayyeah]

Nice effort Rob for adding the Pulse tables

That will motivate pilots to compete and race Pulse waiting for HD to be released.

32 tracks X 4 speed classes X TT and SR lap & race = 256 entries ( may i right?) Who will be the first to complete those? i bet on Stevie

[Lance]

512, I think.

[Frances_Penfold]

I was just looking at the WOZ Wipeout Pulse records page-- is there a speed lap option that I am missing?

If there is no speed lap option-- what should we do for the lap records for Time Trial mode? Should we:
1. Use our best lap time done in either speed lap or time trial? or
2. Use our best lap time done in time trial ONLY (no speed lap times allowed).

Thanks!

[infoxicated]

Hmmm. The usual rules would apply, in that you can only enter a record if it's for that specific game mode.

I can add Speed Lap as an option for Pulse, but right now there's no look-up table between the games and the game mode tables, and I'd need to do that to stop Speed Lap appearing for other versions of the game.

i.e. I'll get round to it as soon as I can.

[JABBERJAW]

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

[mdhay]

Made my mark

[Task]

If there is no speed lap option-- what should we do for the lap records for Time Trial mode? Should we:
1. Use our best lap time done in either speed lap or time trial?

I would say yes.
There's no difference between Time Trial and Speed Lap except that you can't create a Race Time in Speed Lap. So the Time Trial Lap Time would be your best lap time, be it Time Trial or Speed Lap.

The really unfortunate part is that Pulse has such an awful record database. If it was better made, this wouldn't even be an issue.

Speed Lap Lap Time records should go into the same place as Time Trial Lap Time records, there's no reason at all to differentiate what mode was used to create the records when the environment is the same.

[lunar]

I agree. I don`t think there`s any need to have a new option for Speed Lap as it`s essentially just a duplication of the same challenge as TT lap, and separating them just creates a record of our second-best times. I think it would be more convenient just to have the best laps all together on the same table and not have to refer between two tables to find the best laps, like you have to on the official site.

[infoxicated]

Cool.

Well, there's nothing I can do about the official site any longer, but here we can do as we please, so I'll keep it as is and just update the rules to state that Speed Lap times are applicable for the Time Trial records.

[lunar]

That`s great, thanks Rob.
