What you think about that ?
It was possible before
Lord-of-War :style:
-
nope
-
oops just went straight to the polls - don't know if that is correct lol :)
-
I bet you the majority would vote yes
-
Give it a try - just for fun
-
Why waste your time making a poll here? We have no control over Battletracker.
-
They are tracked on battletarcker.
The only difference is, the score for the specific map won't be kept track of on battletracker.
We don't control battletracker so there is nothing we can do to change things there.
The reason they're not tracker "properly" is because their names start with [285] to indicate they were not originally in 2.5 and were ported from 2.8.5 to 2.5 manually.
-
I thought its just about taking the [285] away. So why was it like that before - people have stats about these maps
-
Sorry about invading your space - was just an idea - I am sure Homey could fix it if I ask him. Always got a reaction to my mails I sent to him. :rtfm:

Interesting... Didn't know he answered anyone.

Yea, blame me. I fucked that one up. I figured adding [285] to maps would make things more clear just like [AA3] and [mAAp]. Categorize them so they're easier to find. I didn't think at the time that it would mess with tracking.

I've alerted both ELiZ and You about this, right after the release of 285 maps.
-
I know. You should know that I don't care about tracking and with the work it took to organize things that way, I didn't want to change it back.

I told Eliz about this back in feb =p But seeing as they where still tracked per say (but map stats are not updated), doesnt really make much of a difference, unless people wanted to get their general ranking and what not. This would have made it a tad bit more achievable. Tracked or not the issue is trying to get ppl to play on them =p
-
so if spanky can change it back lets see what the people want :up: :down:
-
I would be open to removing [285] from the 285 maps.
We don't even have to touch Tours.ini.
-
you see - bob's your uncle :D
-
Then the issue is, what about getting all the maps tracked?
It's still beyond me why people care about Battletracker stats. It's not like you gain anything from it. No features in-game, no awards or unlocks. Nothing. No point.
-
if there are no stats about your performance what is the use of even playing a game - that is how man is since the beginning of time - a competitive being who wants to be better than the rest - even in the animal kingdom it is like that - survival of the fittest - just joking :D
Any game there is similar to AA you will find stats about it - its just more fun if you can monitor your achievements and improvements.
Said that a couple of times already lol :cool:
-
I know the whole point is to be competitive against the other players and you can judge how well you're doing but just view the in-game menu and take a look. Another gauge of how well you're doing is how much fun you're having. Having a high long-term number for K/D or Honor or Points on Battletracker does absolutely nothing. The only valuable metric there is "member since" so you can see how long you've been playing but that is generally highly inaccurate.
-
Another idiotic idea, but, oh well...
-
You know it's easy to criticize , but instead of calling it an idiotic idea and like a few of you can never contribute something constructive and only moan about everything why do you even bother to post something.This is even more idiotic.And yes I also have fun playing the game otherwise I wouldn't be here. I just tried to throw in a new idea and it is rather discouraging if you just enter miserable responses.I think it can be approached in a more positive way i.e. the answer from Eliz saying "yes it wouldn't be a big deal to take the [285] away". That is a more mature reply and leaves it open to discussion.
-
I think you just are not able to take a critique opinion.

Lord of war for admin
and in other news
Why not add, there is more frag whores in this game anyway, do it for them
-
I support Lord-of-War's motion to having all 2.8.5 maps available be tracked.
-
Then the issue is, what about getting all the maps tracked?
I was only talking about the 2.85 maps - the mAAp maps are just fun maps and in my opinion they shouldn't be tracked at all but that is another story to be discussed and the AA3 maps I also don't think belong in Battletracker's Map Stats , but the 2.85 maps would be nice - cause we all joined to play AA2 I believe.

Hi Spanky, Eliz, Dialects & Teddy
The Poll is unfortunately expiring on the 8th of Dec - I put the deadline too short.
I think the result of 90 percent in favour (263 of 292) is pretty obvious
and should be enough to take action on the topic.
Maybe you can prolong the poll by giving it a new deadline - I don't know how to do that.
I could delete poll and put in a new one with the votes so far but do not want to do that
without admins permission.
I assume the trend of voting so far wouldn't change much so I don't deem it really
necessary.
Please give me your thoughts on this and it would be nice
if map names could be altered soon ?!
Thank you

QFT!
OIC!

If you credit Battletracker with point counting (which you can), that's not strictly true. Points give you honor and better honor lets you choose a weapon faster.
Although I do agree with his general statement :)
-
No answer is also an answer !
I was just curious - but it seems like noone cares - so the 300 yes votes
just get ignored or what :shock:?
Lord-of-War :(
-
Well, I would agree to do it.
However, you must understand that this is not an official vote so only people on the forums could vote and that makes only a fraction of the people we have playing AA.
With that said, it's still a very one-sided vote. So I guess it's OK to change it if there's someone who can do it on our end.
-
This vote was official - it was in the polls - don't know how but it was - so if you don't mind just extend the deadline and in a month or so we have 600 votes with 80 or 90 percent of Yes Votes.
Anyway Eliz said he can do it and it wouldn't be a big deal to remove the [285] in the map names
The reason why I started the whole thing is a lot of us have these maps in their maps stats without ever having the chance to improve them.
So please ask Eliz or make the whole thing official or whatever - maybe I stepped on someones toes
by just going ahead with a poll that somehow ended up in the assist.
Lord-of-War :style:
-
There will be a small file update in a few days, I'll see what I can do by then.
-
Oh that's nice to hear Eliz
Thanks a lot - much appreciated :up:

You are correct.
Clearly I don't know everything. I thought the poll would have to be posted in the special board in order to show up as a Assist poll.
Although I can see that a total of 16 people on the forum have voted :D
-
well - once in a while I am correct lol :D
-
Thank you Eliz - Very nice
I am happy now :D

I don't know
I tried Interdiction and Rummage & Steamroller they seem to work (tracking)
also tried SF Floodgate & ESL Dusk they don't work (not tracking)
I let you know when i try out others
Lord-of-War :style:
-
I don't believe ESL Dusk was ever officially tracked on Battletracker. You can check this when you go to Battletracker's toplist and try to search for the map. It's not there.
As for Floodgate, I don't know what could be wrong...
-
ok roger - now you are correct about ESL Dusk :D
tried the swiss server Floodgate - doesnt work somehow
-
district is also fine
-
SF Floodgate & River Village are not tracking into map stats ??
can this be fixed somehow ??
TY

Lord-of-War :style:
I remember playing river village on assist, and it was tracked since I have it on my tracker, so it's weird that it doesn't track aymore.
-
floodgate was also tracked once the days back
have a look at bt:
SF Floodgate 110 2 2 1 0 110 00h 13m
-
Bare in mind tracker doesn't show the session if you played less than 15 minutes and had less than 10 kills.
It will show you playing when you're there but a session won't be recorded in this situation.
-
as you know, sometimes bt will not record your playtime in a correct way. but if its written there, it did count the honors.
-
well I am gonna try and mail the admin of BT about Floodgate and the other 2 maps.
(River Village and Refinery) - Haven't tried Oldtown yet but i think it's fine
This doesn't seem to be an assist problem.Strange that the other 285 maps work
Their names don't look any different
They all start with MP_
These are the 285 maps that exist in Battletracker:
Canyon :up:
District :up:
River Village
Rummage :up:
SF Floodgate
SF Hospital SE (noone seems to play that anymore)
SF Oldtown (haven't tried it yet)
SF Refinery
Steamroller :up:
Interdiction :up:

do you think you can fix that somehow?
Haven't written any mail to BT as yet.
Sorry I got no idea what these codes in the tours.ini all mean
I am not a programmer
but you seem to know all about it
Would be nice - thank you in advance
Lord-of-War :style:
-
I've verified that in 2.8.5, what stands in MissionMBSTitle, is what 2.8.5 responds with when queried by Gamespy(Witch BT does).
So I should be able to fix the issue rather easy.
I'll add the fix when I push out new files next time, there is too many logged on now to push the changes.
-
wow that's great news :D
Thank you very much - most aprecciated
Have tried for so long lol
Just take your time - there is no rush :up:
a few more days also don't make a difference
Lord-of-War :style:
-
wow, in fact, this would be nice to have...
-
does that mean i will sit now with my old SF Floodgate for example and a knew one
called SMU GH SF Floodgate meaning 2 lines in map stats or will it automatically be overwritten by the new info ??
Thank you very much for the fix anyway
Lord-of-War :style:
-
Ok I just checked with Floodgate
It works
Problem solved !! :D
Great Job Eliz
You make my day :cool:
Lord-of-War :style:

yes, thank you very much!

Thx nice upgrade
