Just one concern, say you finish first on a map and get the maximum number of points available, but then your time is beaten. Will you lose points since its no longer the number 1 time? Will everyone in the top lose points since they all moved down a level? This could potentially fuck people over and screw up the system it isn't addressed in some way, though I'm sure you have thought this through. Just making sure :P
Yeah don't worry. Everyone will get bumped down a rank and those that reach rank 11 will loose all of their points that they received from being in top 10.
One of the things that I do have to consider that is gay is that if someones time gets removed through admin plugin then I have to increase players points etc etc. So many little things to consider because of such a dynamic ranking system. You can't even imagine how many other things similar to that I had to consider regarding other aspects of the timer.
hopefully, this wouldnt be necessary!Quote:

Also, the !toggletimer command is nice and I assume you will keep it in some form. What is the possibility of having something where you can toggle the timer on someone you are spectating. Its kind of a nice feature on, and it makes it interesting if you are watching someone making a run for the record.
Time removal through admin plugin is not mainly there to remove cheaters lol. Its for convenience because accidents do happen and so on.
I have given some thought to the spectator hud timer. So far its at the bottom of my list of things to do so I may add it.
So far guys you haven't really suggested anything I havnet thought of yet but I appreciate it anyway. We need more people active so they can post their input, not simply "its great blahblah". You spectater hud timer was in the right direction but we need more ideas flowing because after all this is your surf timer. I'm not doing this for me and once its fanilized, good luck getting me to change anything.
Ohhhh one feature that would be nice is something like the !maplevels command, but it would not only tell you how many levels there are, but what tier difficulty, and how many points you will get for beating it. Another thing that would be cool but probably hard to do would be that if you typed rank or whatever, it would tell you your rank, and how many points you need to to pass the next person, so you wont have to type rank and then top. Also how many points the person behind you has would be cool. Though I dont think that if this is done top should be disabled or anything like that.
i got 1 quick question
even though you wont get points for top10 bonus, will there be a top10 for bonuses like a command to see the top times for the bonus
Daniel, ill implement some of the things you mentioned.
Yes there will be a top 10 command for bonuses. However since I don't want to give points for top10 ranked players in bonuses, is there something that we can do with the bonus ranks so its not just there as a useless piece of info. It seems that's what its turning out to do.
Also I may include 100% completion. Like x amount of maps out of total, x amount of bonuses out of total to add up to 100% so you can see your percent completion. Again this is probably gonna be useless so I don't want to add something useless.
Oh and I don't want to give points for top10 bonuses because we already have that for map completion. Don't need it to be more complicated)
Im not sure if this was said previously (tl;dr), but it would be cool if there was an achievement list of maps "completed". Its a nice nifty way to keep track of your maps you have done, and the ones you havent yet beaten. Achievement points like the xbox 360? that would be sort of cool.
