17/07 18:23:56 <@sponge> waiora: its being tracked but its not public yet

Currently tracked on the public standard servers. Not tracked on Start-a-Match servers, given that they can be customized so greatly that you can create servers that are still ranked, but alter things that would affect race times.

Are you planning to extend tracking for non-standard servers in a future?

why would you? makes the times pointless

I meant extend tracking but prevent settings customization for this type of gameplay somehow on non-standard servers. Otherwise yeah, it's pointless.

yes. Can't be a big deal to restrict the server settings to standard settings where non-standard settings causes unranked matches?!

syncerror said in zoot's chat today that they have a ladder in testing for it

Leaderboard, not ladder.

^ not gonna edit

punk

what's dat?

LADDER FOR QL YOU HEARD IT HERE FIRST

Wouldn't leaderboard for Race also be a ladder?

Hi ESR dwellers! \o/ <3
Seeing as rankings aren't yet up, maybe let's start our own ranking list here? I'll call it ESRanks, haha (clever name :DDD).
So, my record for Campgrounds is 55.186 seconds, I even used some tricky so-called "strafe jumping" (learned this trick on youtube, but won't tell you link, search yourself :P), so it would be pretty hard to beat ;) But anyway, what's your records? Can't wait to see what you guys can do :o)))))))))))

.

what about rocketjump map?
and what about adding strafe only/plasma only maps?

havent checked the rocketjump map that much really, im guessing in the 20s is poss? i dunno :P ive seen some 32's i guess.

I honestly don't see any point in plasma only unless they add the gbing mechanic but strafe only... it would be nice to have strafe only records too, but i havent really kept an eye out for strafe only times.

"Theatre of Pain: 8sec? 7 maybe."


really? I can do 10.2 and i know where i lose the speed, but 3 seconds?

damn, i want to see that immediately. Syncerror, you should consider those implements. I mean, you got the right interface to do such things. That must be the benefit of quakelive in first place.
With so many nice features, like this or, and i will drop only keywords here: livestreaming + commentary function....
THIS would be absolutely interactive (but it is only an example)

I know that this would cause many more traffic and costs, but i am pretty sure that this would force ppl to buy a premium account cause they got simple BENEFIT from it.

I am a subscriber and well, we did several root servers with quake3 stuff back in the days and it was just awesome to do that. :)
If its a lack of manpower (what i think that this can be the only reason), then think about a new concept. Its not too late.

Ok, this is not the place to discuss such things, but i know it will be read at least :) Thats probably all i want

well ive only got an 8.5 at the moment, no skims or anything, those 2 corners are annoying af

Here are the top 3 Theatre of Pain times atm:

theatreofpain:
1. fraggedice: 8.798
2. justquake: 8.942
3. wichtl: 8.943

Wow not bad : O. I think you should add some rocketjumps, my time without rocketjump was 1:14.522 because i took the stairs from 2nd to 3rd Checkpoint, now i can rocket jump \o/ and it saves me a lot of time. My time is 54.616 with rocketjump. I dont think anyone can beat that :))

Dude I can do campgrounds in 15 seconds... easy

Bow to the master.

witness the fitness

figness 3 times wekly 2 times 4 wekly 3 times daily per wek

Bater...

Tracking Race would be super easy it's crime not to implement it if ql.com does not.

Step 1. Track players as usual
Step 2. Sort by map and time

end

race with normal physics and no rl\pg is so awesome

Race is terrible ,add more lightningstyles, gfx tweaks ,blood,hitsounds,models,qltv etc etc....fun stuff!

Get real ID.

race is awesome, fuck you

missing the obvious irony/sarcasm and getting 5x plussed

your world is so trivial that you cant discern irony and genuineness xD

i suggest you brush up on definitions of the two.

thanks for your genuineness

(srsly, might be either though)

New world record on Overlord by waiora

xtcgaming.co.za/waiora_overlord_8.5.zip

404 - File or directory not found.
The resource you are looking for might have been removed, had its name changed, or is temporarily unavailable.

try again, I zipped it up

new world record? thats a bit silly

how so?

saying he did a world record time, is like saying he is number 1 on elo rankings and he is the worlds best.. its pointless

if it aint done at a official comp, it aint world record or whatever.
in my view at least

but u are wrong

wrong?

nm, i read u wrong.

heartshit has worldrecord on thunderstruck!

World records can only be set in North America.

Last night he did a 8.444, but it wasnt recorded..

i mgiht be off, but i think this can be done in 7~

kiddy did it in 6.8 i think, i did in 7.4 and i'm bad at defrag :D http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=st2cOd_n2xw

that demo made qldt crash.

maybe by the sheer awesomeness

Are only PQL tracked or will vanilla movement also get a highscore? I sure hope vanilla is tracked aswell..

Came here expecting a thread about blacks or fast cars.
/Scuttles off disappointed.

I would play it if it would be CPM, not PQL. : (

elitism at its best

Nah. Gameplay at its best.

Nah, counter argument.

Whatever.

ok, lets say cpm is better than pql. could be very right according to many highly regarded opinions.

still, does that make pql bad? no, its maybe not the ful 100%, but probably the 90%.

that makes it fucking great. especially with race. and i see a lot of defraggers on race servers, having fun.

Not bitterly, just disappointed. Why would I be bitter anways, if I can play with CPM physics whenever I want?

ive mistaken you for someone elses post. my bad

No problem.

if you claim it's 90% you haven't played cpm : D

meh, just a rough figure to illustrate my analogy. make it 50%, still doesnt change that pql is a part of the cpm-familiy

you just dont get it because youre not good enough

give vq3 movement type for those races and I might try :(

it's id afterall let's try to not forget that...

If by "VQ3" you mean QL's normal movement system then you already can on Start-A-Match.

yeah but I assume the stats arent beeing recorded, nor will be shown on any leaderboard, according to sync's above message. Which is a shame ;(

It will appear in your profile but you are right, there won't be anything on the leaderboards. However, even these leaderboards are not public yet. Do you really play only to place first there? Play for the fun of it, man. Also, who knows... Maybe if some non-default Race rulesets are popular enough they will do something about it.

there's no point in racing alone imo :/ Like I wanna compare myself and see if I can match the best runners out there ! Because I certainly cant in cpm, as I've never liked/played this mode

racing in vql is only intersting @ ctf caps I guess :/

I'm no cpmer either, but it was a good decision after all

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IceLzW5XG1A

Overlord 8.1 seconds, can be done in 7.

oh god...im not even gona start racing then.. no reason

hes just rocketjumping in a almost straight line. even i started to get 9-10 times after a few rounds, despite no prior airstrafe experience

its fairly easy to learn and enjoyable, give it a try dude

(theres obviously harder maps tho. and if you are using low-sens, you probably wont have much fun)

well, that's discouraging :(

and where's aelololo?

obvious RJ bind is obvious

u do know that would mean he had to press the bind close to the same frame that he lands right? im very much impressed if he used a bind, otherwise its not very special at all

It's not a bind. In PQL, once you reach a certain speed (around 1200 ups), you can shoot rockets just a little in front of you instead of directly under or behind yourself. Try it. Looks like ninjascript, but it isn't.

http://www.quakelive.com/#!profile/summary/St...d90/race/1

very very disappointed at standard servers being PQL-weaps only.
barely anyone even plays using PQL physics (ie in CA/TDM/CTF), everyone is used to VQL (or vq3, whatever, you get the point) physics.

anyway, for what its worth, i've been running VQL priv server, and doing runs on that.

have broken aeol's ironworks record (my record is 7.489 now) and extremerz' reflux record (@ 9.938). am maintaining page of records here: http://4seasonsgaming.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=607

it would be really nice to have 2 types of servers: PQL with weaps, and VQL without weaps. best of both worlds :E

but pql is fun as speed run, vql not so much.

but thats my opinion

7.489, that's cute

4 modes available would be good: vql/pql with/without weapons, like defrag speedcapture does

I spawned other types of servers few times during weekend (vql with weapons, vql - strafe only, pql - strafe only).
pql strafe was the only one where at least someone connected.

well, you could say that about EVERY mod :D

yeah, but some people here are saying they'd like to see other modes :)

If they will only track PQL with weapons times I don't think there will be all that much interest in the other modes.

if you would keep the server open 24/7 then it would be recognized sooner or later ;)

QLRanks should host a section for for vQL, PQL, strafe only and weapons Records. I wouldn't mind helping to maintain it etc.

Huh? Is there a complete record of server settings used on every match played? There might be a flag for VQL/PQL and ranked/unranked (+ the amount shots fired) but I doubt there's everything QLRanks would need to avoid considering some "non-standard" rulesets that could give better times.

While most of that information can be checked from demos I meant they add the records and demos manually meaning someone would have to take their time authenticating each demo before updating the leaderboard. You can have only top 3 for each category so it makes the work easier on the validater. This is a job I can help with.

I see. It could work that way. I thought you were suggesting an automated process similar to the current match results capturing QLRanks uses.

Yeah sorry, guess I didn't make myself clear. Still the demos have to be checked by person just in case we have another W3sp incident where a bot is programmed too do all the strafing.

Race is not defrag. Keep it simple and without splitting the playerbase.

Split? You mean defraggers will be either be forced to join QL or not care at all and continue defragging?

i think hes talking about the ql base

can someone link a good tutorial to learn this kind of jumping?

thanks

after you get some speed (after 2 normal strafes, or after a rj acceleration) let go of +forward and just jump with +L or +R and mouse movement, don't make turns larger than 90 °

oh boy oh boy

someone step up and do a RACE OPEN CUP with groups and stuff <3
