Bavaria, Germany[quote=Racingmonster] I cannot see my forum replies as a notification and have to go through my forum posts to find them. [/quote] I'm not entirely sure what you mean. Following specific threads is not possible at this time (so neither is anything like automatically following threads when you post in them). If you are referring to not getting a notification when you post something yourself, this is by design (since that's not really something you need to be notified of). Using the forum posts page to find your forum posts is sort of the purpose of that page. In case I'm misunderstanding, feel free to post again and be a little bit less cryptic.
[quote=Sphere] Hey guys,
we are having some trouble on the quake2 leaderboard (http://www.speedrun.com/quake2). Somehow Adams run is there twice and even after trying to delete it it's still there (although it says "run not found" when clicking on it). Can you fix that? [/quote] Pretty sure this was due to caching of leaderboards (which was still active).
Caching of leaderboards has now been disabled. In any future cases when caching is enabled, moderators will no longer see the cached version but always an up-to-date version (which in turn updates the cache for other users). Hopefully that should reduce the incorrect bug reports next time, and will allow setting up leaderboards even during caching.
[quote=Decipher] I cannot find where to change my e-mail address or even where to post asking about it? Is it even possible and if so, can I have some assistance please? Sorry to post in a thread that is not related to my question.. [/quote] There's not really a specific place to post that because obviously that would require having your new email public. Unfortunately there's no built in way to do it yourself yet, but send a PM (on irc, twitch etc) to an admin and they'll be able to help you out.
Leaderboards are cached for 30 min during AGDQ to reduce server loads. The normal leaderboard was cached before you added your run, so it didn't show up. The Videos Only leaderboard was cached after you added your run, so it did show up.
It works now since it's been more than 30 min and the normal leaderboard has also been updated.
[quote=CrystalChaos] don't think the edit game page is supposed to look like this: [image] Chrome window is 1600px width so I don't think it's that [/quote] Fixed.
[quote=ThePackle]There is a small issue with the marathon pages, I have found. When an apostrophe is in the title of a game (say, Tony Hawk's Pro Skater in this case), then the marathon page will not correctly link it to the game page.
A good example is my marathon page: http://www.speedrun.com/thpsmarathon/schedule
It's just a small bug, and doesn't really break anything (it is mainly just for convenience). [/quote] Fixed.
[quote=Ewil] In IL table, if you have two or more 1st places (if you have records with multiple variables), your name will be displayed twice.
Example: http://www.speedrun.com/need_for_speed_iii_hot_pursuit
My name for level "Atlantica" is displayed twice. [/quote] Yeah, this is a bit of an annoying issue. I've added some additional checks that should prevent this on game IL overviews. The IL overviews on user pages are still affected by a similar issue, though.
[quote=DarkstreamerHD] When you make a subcategory it doesn´t show if its empty Example: http://www.speedrun.com/Granny_Smith [/quote] Although technically a missing feature, not a bug, this has been added.
[quote=1UpsForLife] This run http://www.speedrun.com/run/0zn11j9m was verified by another mod (MLSTRM) on Oct 7 2015 but re-verified with the addition of a variable by me today, Dec 7 2015. The tag on the bottom of the run, however, says it was verified by me on Oct 7 2015. Shouldn't this say either "Verified by MLSTRM on Oct 7" or "Verfied by 1UpsForLife on Dec 7?" [/quote] Indeed, from now on the verifier is no longer updated when already verified runs are edited (unless they go back into awaiting verification and are then verified again).
[quote=thedarkboco] I'm not sure if this been brought up or not, but hitbox VOD integration would be nice as it stands now when you put the url of the VOD in it looks like this [image]
I'm sure I don't have to tell you how bad this looks. I seem to remember hitbox VODs working at a prior time so I'm not sure if there was a change in one of the APIs. [/quote] Links are only recognized for embedding when they start with 'http://' Additionally, the '/' at the end of the url also breaks embedding, although that's something that should probably be changed.
[quote=andypanther] Just a small thing about subcategories: Can you make it so they are also marked as empty when they have no runs, just like regular categories? [/quote] That was something still on the todo list, it's done now. Note that subcategories are currently only marked as empty if all possible subcategory combinations with that subcategory are empty, not on individual empty combinations. Obviously this is only relevant if there are multiple subcategory variables in play at once.
[quote=rotta] Would it be possible to follow specified categories of a game rather than all of 'em? [/quote] At this point I don't think the benefit from having this functionality is worth the changes required to add it.
[quote=zewing] Probably already suggested but for games where emulator runs are hidden, can those runs not be given a rank? It's really crappy to see some games with a record stated as like, 7th, when the front page of that game indicated their stance on emu runs compared to console (check pokemon stadium).
What i mean is, if you click the run, it will state it's total rank and not it's real ranking [/quote] I'm don't think having hidden emulator runs completely unranked is the way to go, but I see your point. To that end, when calculating the place of non-emulator runs for games where emulator runs are hidden, emulator runs are not considered anymore. This means its place matches the place it has on the actual leaderboard with emulator runs hidden.
[quote=1UpsForLife] Is it possible to allow users to remove their own mod status from a game that they aren't a super mod in? [/quote] Normal moderators are now able to see the mod overview on the edit game page, on which they can remove their own mod status. The rest of the overview is view-only though, so normal mods don't suddenly have more power.
[quote=mamamia1001] I had an idea which lead to another idea:
Allow users to favourite certain runs, for example a WR or former WR run they are learning from.
Allow mods of a game to highlight certain runs in the leaderboard. The obvious highlight will always be the current WR, but you could also highlight good runs that show off different strats. For example in GTA 3 Adam's PB is a good reference for pre-duping strats in Portland, and Oasiz's is a good reference for pre-dodo strats in Shoreside. You could also use it to just to show off older runs that were really good for their time but now are obsolete because of better strats/glitches. If the player has beaten it since you could have it appear like how runs that are on slower consoles do for players who have a better time in a different platform. [/quote] Both solid ideas, I've added them to the todo list. They're not small changes though, so I can't say when they'll actually happen.
[quote=Klashik] Just wondering, do moderators of a game automatically follow the game they're modding? [/quote] I considered adding that when implementing following games, but decided against it.
[quote=psychonauter] Currently the subcategory acts as a variable and on the run page it also shows up as variable: [image]
However, as subcategories usually have more significance than other variables (especially if it's been a seperate main category until now), I would like to make two suggestions on changing how the subcategory is displayed in the run page.
... [/quote] The way subcategories are displayed has been changed. Not exactly as you suggested in your first option, but pretty close. They're now also displayed the same way on the front page and the runs awaiting verification page, as well as in notifications (where they were missing in their entirety before).
[quote=Ihavenoname248] Is it currently possible to make a subcategory only apply to some of the categories?
http://www.speedrun.com/cc1#CC11
In this case, the Steam engine subcategory only applies to the one set (currently) and it's a little weird to have it as a subcategory option for the other sets. [/quote] Yes and no. There is unfortunately no clean way of doing this, but what you can do is instead of having one subcategory variable for all categories, make a separate subcategory variable for each category. That way, you can simply leave out the Steam engine subcategory in the subcategory variables where necessary.
[quote=FoxAndRavens] I'm trying to revamp the CoD: Zombies boards a bit and I wanted to include some subcategories but I'm unsure how to use some functions properly. Right now, I've got a whole bunch of subcategories that are working as expected but I wanted to add an option for High Rounds as well.
... [/quote] I'm not sure I entirely understand the ideal setup you're after (due to lack of knowing what is supposed to be what), but having a subcategory variable that only show up for a specific subcategory value is not possible atm. Perhaps there would be a way to apply the same solution as for Ihavenoname248? Obviously that does add clutter, but it only adds it on the backend in the edit game options, not on the actual leaderboard.
[quote=MLSTRM] Is it possible for a subcategory to have a different number of players than the parent category? [/quote] Not at this point. What case(s) do you require this for?
[quote=Ewil] ... [/quote] Leaderboards are only updated every 30 min to reduce the server load during AGDQ. I expect this is the cause for the issues you're describing. Obviously this is somewhat annoying for setting up leaderboards, but there's not much I can do other than suggest waiting with making changes until after AGDQ.
It's not actually hardcoded for anything right now, the select few existing Baten Kaitos runs that have a higher time than the limit right now were edited manually in the database, circumventing the limit imposed by the edit run form.
Adding an option for it is a possibility, but hasn't been done up to now since the option would be irrelevant for >99.9% of the games and adding any option bloats the code ever so slightly. If there is actual need for it that would be reconsidered but I would like to have concrete examples from the people who would actually be using the option.
Right now, it only shows Twitch streams. I took a quick look at the YouTube streaming API documentation, although the documentation wasn't super clear so maybe I overlooked stuff, it doesn't seem to offer any sort of functionality that allows us to recognize which game is being played. This functionality is already fairly important for how streams are displayed on the site at the moment, and will be essential for future changes to the streams page. So until their API offers this functionality, adding YouTube streams is not a viable option.
Nosferatu: The Wrath of Malachi was flagged two days ago (dec. 21) for not being set up within 2 weeks, and deleted by Gyoo for that reason.
Graphing Calculator is the name generally used, including on the site you linked. Also, the length difference is only a single character.
For different models etc, yes, you're best off using variables.
So fast I travelled several months back in time to add it DatSheffy
[quote=Vallkyr] All Leagues currently still has the 3 subcategories, which doesn't really make sense. Can that be fixed? [/quote] Fixed.
As it seems the issues with the leaderboard setup are now largely over, I will stop paying close attention to it. You know where to find me if needed, though.
One last thing I want to point out is that the current logo image doesn't really work on the colour scheme, so someone should probably look into that.
I can set up the board as I've suggested once I know which of the 2 (3, really) options everyone/the majority prefers.
E_Dragon, so what you're suggesting is something like http://imgur.com/a/UJwhQ ? Or even this for the full-game categories: http://imgur.com/EW7sT0S
I've made a possible mockup of the organization: http://imgur.com/a/Bt3RC Subsonic and supersonic can be set to misc, ofc.
Note that I'm not actually familiar with the game so I've just gone with the existing categories.
It is possible to make a variable/subcategory apply to all levels, if that's what you mean?
Combining the runs of the dry and wet categories in a single category is something I can easily do on my end.
Yeah, I noticed this when testing. I thought that it might become confusing to have a single subcategory selection on multiple lines (as it would be hard to distinguish from multiple subcategory selections) and wasn't sure it would ever come up (apparently so), so I didn't spend any more time on fixing that before release.
I could look into the multiline approach, if you really want it. Or perhaps someone has a different, better solution?
I can help you move over runs if you give me a clear overview of how you want it organized (what should be the categories, what should be the subcategories etc).
When you're adding subcategories, and look at a subcategory, it will show all runs in that subcategory. Without using the 'Set default for all runs without a value' option (or updating every single run manually), the existing runs will not be in any subcategory yet (they have no value yet), so they don't show up ('disappear'). I agree it's not ideal that there's no way to see those runs without making the variable not a subcategory while setting up, but this is the reason for them not showing up.
Though if you want to move runs between categories and delete categories, it's probably easier for me to do regardless.
Alright, in my mind there are two possible ways to set the categories up: http://imgur.com/a/rBDiu Which one did you have in mind (or were you thinking of something else entirely)? I will set it up once you've confirmed the setup.
