We are back! The new SL has arrived! Options

[sl.Binaural]

Long awaited, but finally as we announced it has arrived, the tuned and pimped up SL! Better than ever and for us a quantum jump. Even fairer, faster, more individual and more objective!

But first an important info:

From now on the new statistics counts! Whose playing now, plays under the new rating-criteria! Isn't played immediately, you will drop out of ranking after seven days! It is said to some players in the ranking increase or fall by the rearrangement. Also the awards have been disabled due to the new ranking-estimation.

The heart! The brand-new trackercore!

Without him, the SL would not exist. He is the center with his complete new structure, as well as the biggest change in our huge update. He was programmed that way manipulation of the ranking-lists is impossible. Many hot discussions were the cause to over-work that precisely to give every player a rank which he has truley deserved. Therefore it is meaningless on which server you are playing or which mod is running on that server. With the new core we placed the headstone for upcomming games like QuakeWars. Also new ranking-lists become possible in future.

Improved session-calculation and more statistics

Until now the player could only see his own statistics about a session in the playerinfo-tab. The performance of other players was only visible through exausting clicks. With the new trackercore we implement a detailed round-statistic, the so called 'map-session', which is calculated after every closed session. It reflects the session with all players and their spm (score per minute). After every session there will be a round-based ranking-list from which you can see with one view who has performed how. The session-calculation is based on the ELO rating system. From this benefits a more objective view and we are able to gather once again all the maps (except trickjump) for the ranking. The same applies to server we had to disable due to a change of the xp-rating. That means, every sever-operator may configure his server freely and must never fear to dropp out of ranking, because everything is collected in a session-calculation and does not affect directly the global ranking.

Individual configurable permanent server-list and detailed server-view

The enormous pimped up serverlist was a construction-site, now interlarded with many new features. This will lead you more comfortable through the server-jungle than ever before. You are now able to select and sort after every possible criteria (quasi ET-like), like used server-settings, current utilisation or server-origin. That means a server-list according to your wishes and needs will be created. Not the SL is saying what you will see, you will tell her! Also the displaying has been over-worked and contains now an extended possibility for sorting the list and more facts at one view. In the detailed server-view you will see additionally the last twenty played maps. So you have a fast overview which maps are running on that server.

The turboscanner

Fast, faster, fastest! The SL charges the turbo! The '30 second-scan' has arrived! (Former known as the 'lazy 90 second scan')
Hence there are more detailed statistics than ever before.

The most important faqs, summed up in a changelog:

• 30 second scan intervall, a maximum of five minutes with empty servers (old: 90 seconds and max. of scan of 90 minutes)
• changed global ranking
  The new ranking is based now on the differences within a session (map-session). It does not matter which mod or map is running. The new ranking has been made compatible to the used numbers.
  -> a minimum of eight players in the valuation of a session
  -> it is a alike the ELO rating system
  -> sessions will be calculated immediately after a 'map-session'
  -> two session boni (player and global niveau boni)
• viewable session-history from the server-view
• detailed session-info
• server-ranking (beta-test)
• prearrangement for mod-ranking
• third tab of player-info -> mod-overview (mod-data has to been collected first)
• third tab of player-info -> server-based player ranking (ranking data has to been collected first)
• multiple playing names (like "ETPlayer or "Jimmy") will be displayed correctly now
• new filterable severlist/permanentfilter
• sever-load (beta-test)

We hope we created with our big service pack a SL which is liked the same way as we do. Tell us your opinion and give us your feedback to stay on your number one. If you discover any bugs or errors please let us know so we can eliminate them promptly.

Best regards and have a lot of fun with your freshly polished SL!

Your SL-Team!

Hi SL Team,

Thank u for all that stats that let us see our perf.

[sunone]

ok so everybody are happy...
when is the party to celebrate changes and good work ?

[Messenger]

yeah let's party

[WTF!-Gambl3]

i like what you all did and a great improvement overall

however, i do prefer the red/green arrows per sessions to easily see if you did better or worse then normally, any chance of them coming back?

[do$e]

congrats dudes, overall a better rating system! (and also better serversearch.)
small rather unimportant thingy tho, ur flag could use a little adjustment:
'to less players! session not ranked!'
change it to something like: 'too few players! session not ranked!' and it would actually make sense

[boondock]

Wow!! Great job guys!!

One thing what I still would like to see is the average player ranking for a server...

[ukbud]

is there only me that think the new rating sucks all evry one gets now is reds reds reds bah crap goin down like a stone and it aint jus me seems majority of players are in the reds and goin down down down gonna have to stop lookin at this website startin to depress me already bah was good while it lasted !!!!!!!!!!

could be we all were a tad overrated in the past m8
guess after a short period of time rankings prolly will settle on a level which make sense, a lot of players havent even played since the ratings changed.

Here's why I think...and it IS a problem, correct me if Im wrong. Because the new system is ELO, any unregistered fool who changes his/her name comes into the game with a rating of ONE and brings everyone down. I played a map and had the second highest point-rate, but the top one had come in with a new name and a rating of 1...I lost MANY points.
