[IDEA] Ranking

[FraNcoTirAdoR]

pfff thats gonna be much work, i need some help, tell me what is need to make, what symbols etc.

anyway nice list, and btw where are the "frags in a row" achievements

well there are some in the frag combo section btw thats right there are many medals that i wrote up, but these are mostly all the ideas could pop into my mind. so tell what you think shouldnt be included and tell what should be kept, and this way the number of medals can be reduced dramtically so that only good medals will be at the end I think about 6 into each categories would be enough, or what is your opinion?
After the awards are chosen, we need to ask wether they are possible to code at all (or at least not way too hard), and then we can give them name, and based on the name you can start creating the graphics to it

VERY nice Kay! I love the new image A LOT! BTW, about it being a lot of time.. Don't worry, coding this is going to take a very long time too.. So.

Nice list too, FraNcoTirAdoR.. Although a good deal of those are either 1: impossible, or 2: unreasonable. I ask you, please keep them reasonable. Something that is detectable. Certain things will just never be possible to detect without gameplay changes.

Anyway as an update, I began work (SLIGHTLY) on the logging system, but haven't had much time with other developing i've been doing (Keepaway, new build system, new motionblur feature).

[FraNcoTirAdoR]

Okey I added some names to the list element that already popped into my mind, so now awards are not nameless anymore If anyone has ideas what to change, what to add etc feel free to share!
Samual I know some of them are not possible to code, thats the reason why I created such a huge list, we can collect stuffs out and you can tell wether they are possible to implement or not. The list I wrote will be updated frequently if others have ideas too, I will also post to the topic if I make an update on it. Please check it out the current list, and sort out which ones are not possible to implement

Maybe there could be some awards promoting team play, like switching to the loosing team and score the deciding point.
Kill the enemy fc an x amount of times in one match.
Pick up lost a lost flag and cap x times in a match.
Protecting FC. (kill x amount of enemies who are shooting* at the FC.)
Protecting onslaught points. (kill x amount of enemies who are shooting* at the ons. point.)
Win a match where the enemy never recaptures a onslaught point.
Give an x amount of team members (by dropping it, and them taking it) a better weapon then they are holding.

Useful stuff like that.

and how about, if you made the logging system you'll be able to add friends, then you can see if your friends are playing, save them by player-name and IP address. is this possible?

And if they are playing, have one simple button that you click which launches Nexuiz in that server: definite WIN WIN WIN!

Heh, don't get carried away here I'm only one person.

Ok but now serious, is that possible

I've been giving this idea some thought, and I feel that a global achievements setup is a somewhat weird setup. Most importantly because servers with modified settings will be discarded. Most of the servers run slight tweaks to make the game more interesting for certain players, and some of them do make it easier or even impossible to get a certain achievement. Also a lot of achievements only make sense for a certain game type.

Since I also host a couple of servers with odd settings (nexball/nexrun/lasersumo), it would be nice to have the ability to code your own achievements that only make sense on that particular server. Also the idea of sending my logs (with possibly privacy sensitive information) to a third party host doesn't appeal much to me, it wastes bandwidth and doesn't really provide that much protection.

Instead I would like to propose a concept where achievements are acquired on a per-server basis. Using some concepts of cryptography it is easy to secure this and store the information client side. The server would need a longterm keyphrase used to sign a certain achievement, and when it pushes the achievement to the client it sends this following data:

Code: Select all

achievementname, time, nickname, MD4SUM

The MD4SUM is already supported in DP and would be the sum of the concatenation of achievementname, time, nickname and the keyphrase. Clients could store this in a file and send to the server when they reconnect, if they messed with the file in between - the server can detect it and revoke the achievement. If it notices that the achievement is used by multiple people (they copied the files), it may also permanently revoke the achievement by means of the time field.

This system could easily be adapted and make it possible to add achievement detection in both the QC code and as a rcon2irc plugin. Also it can be adapted to the standards on a server, if you got all the stars for CTF/DM - that doesn't mean that you're any good at nexball.

As for displaying this client side, the best way would probably be to add another button in the serverlist where people can view their achievements for that particular server, and this can all be done locally without querying a server out on the internet.

Also I believe that this would be a LOT less work to create, as it needs less security for untrustworthy servers - their achievements only affect their server anyway. I could probably get the backend coded in a couple nights, just need to find the time for it .
