FED2k Emperor Ladder

This thread will be used to deal with any issues coming from the FED2k Ladder.

I've started a small helpfile, let me know if it covers enough of the common problems/issues you've experienced or areas it could be expanded in.

Here is the code used for adding new results to the ladder. I had to make a few tweaks to it tonight but so far it is working fine. Is anyone here using the ladder? The names listed there don't seem familiar...

   # update the ladder games table with points for this game #
   if ($base == '1' && $cred == '6000' && $plrs == '2' && $unit == '5')
   {
      $pts0 = mysql_query("SELECT pts, wins, loss FROM ladder_players WHERE name = '$nam0'");
      $pts1 = mysql_query("SELECT pts, wins, loss FROM ladder_players WHERE name = '$nam1'");
      $pts0 = mysql_fetch_row($pts0);
      $pts1 = mysql_fetch_row($pts1);

      $stat0 = array(($pts0[0] ? $pts0[0] : 0), ($pts0[1] ? $pts0[1] : 0), ($pts0[2] ? $pts0[2] : 0));
      $stat1 = array(($pts1[0] ? $pts1[0] : 0), ($pts1[1] ? $pts1[1] : 0), ($pts1[2] ? $pts1[2] : 0));

      if ($cmp0 == 256)
         $game = array(array($_POST['nam0'], $stat0[0], $stat0[1], $stat0[2]), array($nam1, $stat1[0], $stat1[1], $stat1[2]));
      else
         $game = array(array($_POST['nam1'], $stat1[0], $stat1[1], $stat1[2]), array($nam0, $stat0[0], $stat0[1], $stat0[2]));

      $wins_pts = round(64 * (1 - (1 / (pow(10, ($game[1][1] - $game[0][1]) / 400) + 1))));

      $loss_diff = round(64 * (0 - (1 / (pow(10, ($game[0][1] - $game[1][1]) / 400) + 1))));
      $loss_prct = round($game[1][1] * 0.1);
      $loss_pts = ($loss_diff < 0 && $loss_diff < -$loss_prct) ? -$loss_prct : $loss_diff;

      mysql_query("REPLACE INTO ladder_players (pts, wins, loss, name) VALUES ('" . ($wins_pts + $game[0][1]) . "', '" . $game[0][2] . " + 1', '" . $game[0][3] . "', '" . $game[0][0] . "')");
      mysql_query("REPLACE INTO ladder_players (pts, wins, loss, name) VALUES ('" . ($loss_pts + $game[1][1]) . "', '" . $game[1][2] . "', '" . $game[1][3] . " + 1', '" . $game[1][0] . "')");

      if ($cmp0 == 256)
         mysql_query("INSERT INTO ladder_games VALUES ('$idno', '$wins_pts', '$loss_pts')");
      else
         mysql_query("INSERT INTO ladder_games VALUES ('$idno', '$loss_pts', '$wins_pts')");
   }

Ok I've added in a few new links on the ladder page. You can now get a listing of all games currently stored in the database, even those that aren't included on the ladder. I also have a link of BC games and player listing, still working on those two sections though.

i know this is a bit off topic but is there anyway to join clans at all?

Gobalopper · August 9, 2003

I don't think you can anymore. Someone else might know for sure.

wraith126 · August 9, 2003

:(oh ok :(

zamboe or brennq what happened in this game? Did someone actually win?

Kyle · August 10, 2003

Gob i think brennq won because on the ladder it says brennq 6-0 and zamboe 0-6. I also talked to brennq and he said that he beat zamboe 6 times.

lowzeewee · August 10, 2003

I think after brennq won each time,zamboe would ask for a rematch.So I guess brennq is still the overall champ.Yes he won all 6 against zamboe ;)

I won. All 6 of em ;D.Hehe u saw that 30 min game? look at my # planes... 8)

I dont think im going to be first this month coz im going to Bar

Navaros · August 11, 2003

is every game on the "ladder" link being added manually by Gob?

EDIT: another Q - does it make a diff which version of the proxy is used (june 16 or june 20, i believe.....) ?

if the answer to both of these is "No", then you definitely got some big defective bugs in that coding

graveside · August 15, 2003

think autmattically added.

i just played dawg and we both musta recorded it but 1 says i won other says i lost even though we only played once. is that bug or just simple mistake?

lowzeewee · August 16, 2003

Looks quite fun!And BC is coming soon?Maybe I will reconsider not buying Empy now. ;)

http://www.dune2k.com/ladder/?idno=112873733 ;D

Gobalopper · August 16, 2003

Yep its a bug. If you look at the game report:

http://www.dune2k.com/ladder/?idno=112940820

It looks like harkdawg left early and the game didn't know who really won. I'll fix it and update the standings this weekend.

lowzeewee · August 17, 2003

Games of any setting will be recorded right? ;)

Harkdawg · August 17, 2003

http://dune2k.com/ladder/?idno=113039487

gob the game recorded wrong.

graveside · August 18, 2003

gob could you remove the 1st game me and sarbaukar played, he couldnt move his units so we restarted,

thx

Gobalopper · August 19, 2003

Yep I've got a few bugs to fix still with reporting. I didn't have time this weekend to fix them due to regular work but I should have time midweek.

Navaros · August 21, 2003

please delete this game, or give me the Win

http://www.dune2k.com/ladder/?idno=113193260

as you can see, i was winning. due to some sort of weird lag bug, my base exploded for no reason. all he killed of mine was one scout, and i had 3 of his 4 carryalls dead and just as many units and buildings. if you can't give me the Win, then just delete this game entirely. thx.

"Now whenever you play Emperor and want your games to be recorded to the FED2k Ladder run XCL Proxy in the background while playing Emperor."

This is step 4 in how to play a recorded match. I am unclear as to wether or not BOTH players need to be running the proxy for the game to be recorded? If only one is needed you may want to look at changing that.

Example: Player one runs proxy and anticipates the game being recorded, so he goes with his normal game plan. Player 2 thinks the game is just for fun and tries something he has never tried before, just to see how it pans out. This was a game plan that really didn't fare to well for player 2 and he loses horribly. If Player 2 had known it was a recorded game he would have gone with a proven tactic and the outcome could have been different. If only one player needs to run it, now you have a game that really should not be a valid game.

This is just a thought...and may have already been answered in a thread that I haven't read yet.

Gobalopper · August 22, 2003

If that happens the second player can request the game to be removed. The problem with enforcing two is that one player could just close the program if they are going to lose.

lowzeewee · August 22, 2003

Then pple can just cheat in this way.Isn't it unfair? :(
