Hi! I've updated the demo for the new ranking i'm working on at http://aktiv.co.hu/~hirisov/civserver/ . What's new? 1, i finally found an existing ELO system description which is similar to ours and can be used better as base than the previous (general) descriptions, so i rewrote the ranking code almost completely :) 2, under description link i started a description of the ranking system. 3, now it counts three different rankings (ffa,team,duel) instead of 1 overall. And it uses the same algorithm for all types so results are comparable. No more need to use separated nick for team games :) 4, smaller updates at the web fronted to handle the different rankings properly (eg graph now shows all of them for a player) What's missing? 1, ranking decay. I'd need the date of games for implement it. Is it possible to get them somewhere (best would in in an sql dump if possible)?. 2, better web frontend: once the ranking code itself will be complete (i hope soon) i'll focus on providing an informative web interface eg for comparing players, etc. -- Note the current ranks for duels and team games are not that proper, because 1, we have few sample from these types off games (compared to ffa) 2, the lack of decay affects them much. Eg War King in duel is first because he had extreme numbers of duels againts newbies from which he benefited 2-3 ponts but w/ a great chance (check his log bu clickong on his name). 3, in ffa players with various skills plays together, so we have enough sample calculate real data. The more the ranks of players differ in a game the more info we can extract from that game usually. 4, in duel and team players with much different skills plays together much rarely! Eg this is why iuz is 17th in duel, because as he only plays duels with the bests he doesnt win more than 55-60 percent of his duels. And it's true for most active high ranked players in duels and teams. There's a chance if we'll have separated rankings players will play more duels/teams too, so the system will have more info and will show more real ranking in these game types too. bye, hirisov
