This needs to be a feature and I say this because what if a character can't do an IL because it's not their mission? Now we have an empty spot that will never be done.
Sure you can make more variables and just have those for certain ILs. There in lies another issue, the page size. Now it's just littered with so many variables at the bottom just to accommodate for the ILs because some characters can't do them. Which in turn makes looking at the edit game page a disaster.
I bring this up for Ninety Nine Nights because while some characters can do some, others can not. And it ranges from one character only to all of them. If there was a way for the character variable to set which character can do which IL that would be great.
As it stands though I am forced to just use the variable just to show which character is used for the IL. And I would very much like to use the variable as a sub category that way everyone can use the character they want. It wouldn't be about just using one character for the IL due to them being the fastest or more optimal one to use.
I would love for the freedom for a runner to run whatever character they like for the ILs. But at the same time not have empty character spots at the top of the page. I don't know it just bugs me to all hell.
IL pages need some level of revamp eventually. Improvements to address the items you've pointed out would be good, but it's likely quite complex to implement.
Okay, kirkq I have another one since you sort of resolved this one and I didn't want to create another thread. This still pertains to ILs sort of, so Gears of War 3 has kind of a messy ILs section because I added chapters for arcade. You can play through arcade and have a time for the chapters and so I wanted to keep track of those times since XBL servers won't be around forever for the game. It's so cluttered on the ILs along with the act ILs.
Is there anyway you could possibly think about implementing more leaderboard options that we can create for pages. I think this would be a perfect option as Perfect Dark struggles with this very issue too. Endeavor made the normal mission ILs, but also challenge ILs. If we could create these leaderboards to minimize what is going on in the level leaderboards that would be great. Gears of War 3 could have level leaderboards and arcade leaderboards and Perfect Dark could have challenge leaderboards. Of course I feel like we should name and create them.
Probably a limited amount as well maybe up to two other leaderboards along with full game and level leaderboards.
Multiple "full game" and "IL" boards with arbitrary names is how we probably want to handle this eventually. It requires a lot of restructuring.
