Map Rank GL Support Bounty Competition

[sherkaner]

Hmm, as far as I know there haven't been any completed entries. I'm now trying to alter/simplify it a bit here: https://github.com/sherkaner/addons-for-Conquerclub
But you're free to either join me or start with that version of the script as the startpoint, and I'd advice you to look through the code first and then determine whether you still want to.

I have already standardized whole of the code, didn't start any editing yet, just standardized and formatted codes and it's now ready for my start, I will start from first but will be happy to hear any advises if you have, specially about that matrix variable, I didn't look at it fully but didn't figure it out too (Why some combinations of indexes of it's above array are defined in it but some aren't defined!?), just saw it when formatting ...

Ah, the medmatrix. I changed it into the following (and that seemed to work):

Code: Select all

var medmatrix = []; // possible combinations of settings to get medals.
for (var i = 0; i < 6; i++) { // 6 types of settings that could lead to medals
  for (var j = medmatrix.length - 1; j > -1; j--) {
    var temp = medmatrix[j].slice(0);
    temp.push(i);
    medmatrix.push(temp);
  }
  medmatrix.push([i]);
}
medmatrix.sort(function(a,b) { // longest combinations should be shown first
  return b.length - a.length;
});

So it's just really all possible combinations of settings that could get you to medals (medcombo and medcombourl seem related to the 6 settings btw). But I assume there is a better way that doesn't involve building the whole matrix though.

But I didn't put that in because I've made a breaking change somewhere else, now I've put it in the JSON branch (braking change: replaced eval/uneval with JSON.stringify and JSON.parse for storing/retrieving variables).

I might be missing something here? But it looks like clan achievements are already supported?

nm, I was pulling from the git repo... apparently that was a pretty small change, nice job sherkaner

Thanks for the code, still didn't start the work but seems if I want to add Map Rank med to combinations, then your code will make it easy ...

I realize that Map Rank is currently out of commission for updates, but I wanted to add something else to the list: Speed Games. They don't work anymore with the new speed game variations.

looking forward to see this work!
as a non cyborg, I have no idea of how complicated all this is to implement, but I know we are a lot out there wondering how many unique kills we have in random!
little question; while you are at it, if you add clan medals that should be simple, maybe you could also add the SOC medal and the 2 new super acheivement medals to have it complete?

I can't check right now as I am typing this on my new 3DS ( ) but aren't the training achievements already handled by Map Rank? I know I put them in the code I whipped up. (I never got the random map code finished up.) Adding the super achievements should not be too tough, IMHO.

yes, actually in map rank the medals not listed are the SOC, the random, the clans and the super acheivements. It seems to me that only the random would be complicated right? also the most useful , as we know how many of these other medals we have if we look it up on our wall! but since tournament acheivements ect are listed, and that map rank gives you a "total" amount of medals, it might be better to add these new ones?

You may be running an out-of-date version of Map Rank, because when I Map Rank you, the medals are all correct except for the Speed medals, which are probably broken temporarily by the recent changes in round length, which cause the API to report various numbers for round length, rather than the simple Y/N for speed games used in the past. The super achievements, apart from the Conqueror medal, have yet to be issued, but all of these should be dealt with.

Is there a private forum somewhere that we can work through this? I can be of help here, but this whole thing has me a little boggled. I've checked out the source on github, and I think that if we could put several minds to work (instead of a contest) we could make a difference.

I'll be available if help is needed, but since the github-setup hasn't lead to any commits other than my own, I'm kinda skeptical.
But if you have any questions or have any thoughts to share, just fire away at me first or put it in a thread in the tools development subforum.

[ThrushAAX]

Is the bounty competition still ongoing? I haven't worked on this since my submission... and I don't really want to do more work on something that someone else may be doing at the same time...

I am still trying to install git, so don't give up hope yet.

Do we have a stop-gap yet to move on from the old one even if a lot of new features aren't in yet?

From me, nothing yet, I could not even start working on it after tweaking the code ...
