*DAMN BL FFA Ladders: Problems / Bug Reports

[Civrock]

hey guys,

if anyone discovers a bug or has any problem with the new *DAMN BL FFA Ladders... post it here in this thread!

[Aramarth]

Everyone in my match confirmed, and the match stayed stagnant. They asked me to confirm manually, which I did. Is this a repeat of the 1v1 probs of last season?

BTW, shouldn't there be a way to tell who won? I finished with a lot more kills, but GS got the win due to winning the same number of matches and having a name earlier in the alphabet. No big deal, but for bookkeeping...

[BFG]

Also ara on that CB - Am i right in thinking it should so Wickedson participated - the ladder currently shows as if the FFA had only three people, GS, you, and Ein - the ladder does not seem to Accept [01]Wickedson Participated?

[*DAMN Mauti]

I already contacted Elandrion about this issues. Except the confirm bug. Well he will read this thread.

Bye,

Mauti

Well, wick is shown with 6 points, but that column is still grey... I'm not sure what to think.

[*DAMN Elandrion]

i'm looking into it.

UPDATE: Should be working now.

Hey nice work with the new ladders!  This FFA ladder seems very similar to splinter's original FFA ladder set-up.  I know awhile back you guys all spoke about incorperating it into the damn BL, but I didn't see any credit or thanks to splinter.  I know he put a lot of time and effort tweaking it into a working format.  Would be unfortunate if all his hard work was looked over.

question about the scoring and ranking in GhR FFA ladder... How does the point system work in regards to ranking. I notice I have more points than those ranked higher in the ladder. Is this a scripting error or is there something Im missing?

Hmm... Seems the points system works here on the GR FFA Ladder, but it doesn't seem to be counting the Number of 1st's, 2nd's, and 3rd's correctly.

Any word on this Elan?

[*DAMN Elandrion]

I'll give you an example:

In the first RvS FFA Match (match #2325), both Ara and Ghost got 26 points, and both Wicked and Ein got 6 pts. So, because we don't count the kills they do, Ara and Ghost share the 1st place, and Wicked and Ein share the 3rd place on this match. That way, noone has a disadvantage because of sorting issues.

Later, I'll put some more stats on the "show cb" page, so everyone can check how many points he got.

I remember a rule from the ffa from splinter but I dont see it here.
When someone kills himself that was taken off his total kills or something
Because I hate it when you get blown away in a nice 1 on1 that get ruins by the other his nade
killing you and himself, so i think he should get a penalty for killing himself

[Civrock]

*hands his glasses to PLOPje*  


quoting from the FFA ladder rules:

"10. Any suicide, intentional or not, will be subtracted from your kill total."

crap i am getting blind sorry

I wasn't talking about kills, I was talking about the number of times you achieve a certain rank, I believe there is a bug in that because for me I know i got 2 1sts in my 2 matches for the GR FFA. This is how the c| FFA league worked last summer and I think it would be the ideal league structure.

Hmm, after looking at it for a bit I assume that you rank us on how well we did in that particular match accordingly, wasn't completely obvious at first.

Thanks, Crypt

hm maybe I haven't been quite clear:
you play a match of 4 games. for every game, you get ranked by GhR, and based on your rank, you get game points (I think it's written in the rules how many). Then, after the 4 games, the players get ranked again by the points they gained; if two or more ppl have the same points, they share the same place. This final ranking is then shown on the ladder page: 1st, 2nd and 3rd. All ranks above the 3rd count as a Loss. Again the example of the first match: Ara and Ghost both gained the 1st place, Wicked and Ein both the 3rd place; nobody gained 2nd and a loss.

I know a lot of people have been complaining about posting ffa's because it takes a lot longer than a normal cb. I think if there is a way to alphabetize the players names, it would make the matter much simpler. Also, more people would play ffa's if they didnt have to worry about confirming everytime. Maybe something you could do about this is to have the match completely confirmed if at least a majority of the players confirmed it and not every single person do it. Just a thought...let me know what you think.

Not really a problem.  I know right where everybody is on the list now and can pretty much post any FFA in under 5 minutes.  Alphabetizing might make it a little easier, but Elandrion would have to re-alphabetize every time someone new joined the ladder.  Also, waiting for people to confirm really isn't a problem either.  It will auto-confirm the match in 24 hours even if nobody confirms the match.

I still see a game has not posted that was played about a week ago. All have confirmed except for one who is still listed as pending. I read in this forum before that it would be auto accepted in 24 hours but it has yet to happen with this one.
Sorry for letting it wait this long before mentioning it but was waiting to see if it would auto confirm and was in no hurry because I really didnt place well. hehe j/k

[Civrock]

there is no FFA game which is pending since a week. just checked the PvP matchlist...
