Hi, I created a website allowing players to check the records, with different
views including: overview of all personal records, or global rankings.

Some people here already knew about it.

---------

That's about it, if you have any questions, or ideas on how to improve it, or if
you can help with the translation
(mistakes in italian / german, or add a new language).

Oh yeah someone could host the website, or find a good and cheap host!

It's wonderful, better than wipeout-game.com
I love the idea of "elite ranking".

Good, I was wondering when the "Edit" button was going to appear. It was already working somewhat by re-entering the time, but now it's gonna be even better if you make mistakes you can correct it very easily.

very nice job !
would be really great with SL real database, they need to see this !

Awesome job, Connavar. I`ve dreamed of something like this.

I agree with Chboing, it would be even more awesome if we didn`t have to enter times manually, but I`m not sure if SL would ever do something along these lines.

Brilliant though, and I WILL be using it. The fact you have already entered some times means we have to use it or have a low rank

thanks Connavar.

Yeah awesome idea and great making !!

[Darkdrium777]

Problem with SL database is that it doesn't update anymore. :S Most if not all of my records posted on his website are faster times than on WOHD records online.
For example, I really would like to see my 1.59.11 GOTEKI 45 Single Race record (ELITE AI) in 2nd place on the records table, but it's my FEISAR one at 1.59.32 showing up. :/
I wish there was a way to force the update on the server (Of course put a timer, say you can't refresh instantly, only every 10 or 15 minutes, so no mass connections attack can be performed through that), then we wouldn't need sites like this.

Thumbs up for your great work, Connavar!

[rushin]

very nice

*starts madly adding times*

[djKyoto]

Brilliant! I'll start adding times tomorrow, awesome!

/edit - Requesting sticky.

[Asayyeah]

Brilliant , simply brilliant : that is crazy how you did created it very quickly.

The best way to keep improving our scores

Yeah thanks Connavar for the work you've put into this. pirhapac directed me to it yesterday and I wondered at the time why you hadn't mentioned it on wz!

I have a problem though. It seems I keep being logged out as soon as I'm logged in. I've only been successfully logged in twice (once last night). Most of the time I don't have the options for adding times but in the top right it gives the option to log out. When I was logged in properly this afternoon it logged me out after a couple of clicks. Anyone else having these problems? I'll keep trying...

Edit: Still having some trouble but it's working a bit more consistently now.

i've already said it but this website is too awesome not to compliment more than once. better than the real boards in my opinion; far more informative.
amazing stuff connavar!

edit: what does 'elite' mean in the mode section?

[kanar]

brillant. Amazing how this game inspires people. Wonderful website Connavar, I'll check that of course.

[Amorbis]

This is a great resource! Thank you Connavar! This makes time comparison much easier. I've added my Phantom speed lap and multiplayer times. Thanks to whoever saved time by adding some of my existing ones .

[pirahpac]

veeery nice job connavar..i think now the " warriors online" maybe will do tt or sl ^^"go go go speed racer"(song of aphex twin) ^^

[stinkleroy]

Great job Connovar! Although I'm not half as dedicated as you guys on the SL/TT front, it's great that there's something like this out there. Well done

[Mad-Ice]

Big thumbs up, this looks amazing! However I don't understand everything?

1. How do pilots obtain average points?
2. How do pilots obtain overall points?
3. Does 'count' mean: Total records for existing tracks?

Thanks in advance, greetz Mad-Ice

[Connavar]

2. Each mode/track/class combination gives scores to all players in that
combination:

Everyone gets this score:
1000*exp((best-time)*9/time)

So the leader gets 1000 points, and the other players get less, depending on
your time compared to the leader time, I tweaked the parameters (namely the 9
one) to have a bad score (about 500) when you're doing 20 sec instead of 19 for
the leader.

The overall score for a player is the sum of each score of that player, if track
= ALL, then will be a sum of 16 scores (maximum).

3. The number of items is PER PLAYER the number of records it gets with the
current filters, if you choose mode = SL, track = vineta and class = ALL, then
you'll get maximum 4 items (because there are 4 classes).
If you use mode = SL, track = ALL and class = Phantom, you'll get maximum 16
items.

1. Average is the overall score divided by the number of items.

So for 1 and 2 ... to obtain those points, you need to post times!!

Hope it cleared things up.

Thanks.

Might have something to do with the cookies, like if you're on Vista with some
security feature that might disable them for this particular site.

I'm implementing another method for this so you won't need cookies anymore and
it won't disconnect you, will be updated soon!

I'm sure this ranking is more fair than the wipeoutgame'one (isn't it Kigo ).
Your website and the Elhabib's ghosts site are perfectly completed each other.
