should be possible the way the same way maprank does.

im not home ATM. so i can not create it for you

http://www.conquerclub.com/api.php?mode ... =Y&names=Y

use the api. gn is comma separated

is it a xls file you are wondering? or just as maprank?

ill check it when i get home in the weekend

*****

idk how xls works with getting information from the internet. but ill look into it when i have time. tho ill only look into it because im intressted. so if i lose intrest there will not be a finished product.

I've written some vba code that gets data from api into an xls document... but that's at work right now... If nobody else gets around to it, I might look at it over the weekend.

I'd be interested to see that as well, if you find it!

This will indeed be harder than you want as the points won/lost are not given by the API at this time. You'll need to use the API to get the players in the game and then download each games log and find the points rewarded sections to get this working. Your looking at some very scary macros. I've never written an Office App before, maybe I should...

the API shows the scorechange for player number if you add &events=Y

<events>
<event timestamp="1141717372">3 eliminated 1 from the game</event>
<event timestamp="1141718708">3 eliminated 2 from the game</event>
<event timestamp="1141718708">3 won the game</event>
<event timestamp="1141718708">1 loses 18 points</event>
<event timestamp="1141718708">2 loses 19 points</event>
<event timestamp="1141718708">3 gains 37 points</event>
</events>

are you using windows? ill maybe create an program for it. i dont know how it will end

I have about 150 games Im trying to compile the data for and this would be sweet.

I would look through the Dave's Tips archive:
http://www.conquerclub.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=89&t=178308
He did pretty much all of his tournament scoring through macros in Excel.

Or, contact Dave directly. (But check his archive first. What you're looking for might already be covered.)

One solution based on copying the data from each game is as follows:

Say Game 14191088; the Points Total section has the summary of the points:

Points Totals
SuicidalSnowman scored -13 points in this game
BGtheBrain scored 49 points in this game
Steve The Mighty scored -17 points in this game
Vid_FISO scored -19 points in this game

(Note Igave you an extra 100 points to test that scores over 100 would be picked up!)
If the 4 lines are copied to a spreadsheet, then a couple of simple excel formulas can be used to extract the relevant information. i.e.

Game	Points Totals	Player	Points
14191088	SuicidalSnowman scored -13 points in this game	SuicidalSnowman	-13
	BGtheBrain scored 149 points in this game	BGtheBrain	149
	Steve The Mighty scored -17 points in this game	Steve The Mighty	-17
	Vid_FISO scored -19 points in this game	Vid_FISO	-19

Here I have written the game number as well, though this may not be necessary.

The formula in the player column is

Code: Select all

=LEFT(B2,FIND("scored",B2,1)-2)

and in the points column

Code: Select all

=MID(B2,FIND("scored",B2,1)+7,FIND("points",B2,1)-1-FIND("scored",B2,1)-7)

Then you could have a macro from a button that would scan down all the player names and summarise the points for each player. (If you want me to write a macro to do this I am happy to do it)

I'll post this in your thread as well and perhaps ythere may be a solution posted to extract the game info non-manually.

If MrBenn could share his code for getting data directly from Internet to spreadsheet I would also appreciate it!

If you have an Excel workbook with a column (A) of Game Numbers (with a column heading), the following vba code looks up each game number and brings back each player, who won, points won/lost, no of kills, and the elimination order.

In order to get this to work, you'll first need to open the Visual Basic Editor (Macros menu or Alt+F11), and make sure you have enabled XML support (Tools > References > tick Microsoft XML 6.0 (or whatever your latest version is). Once that's done, copy and paste the following code into a module

Code: Select all

Set FindCell = SrchRange.Find(What:="*", after:=SrchRange.Cells(1), searchorder:=xlByRows, searchdirection:=xlPrevious)

The Function 'ccGameAPI(GameNo As String)' pulls the data from the CC api, and picks out some of the specific data that I think you were looking for.

The subroutine 'get_cc_gamedata()' handles the spreadsheet side of things, and picking out game numbers and writing the results from the function.

I haven't tested it extensively, and could stick in some more formatting and error-handling options, but hopefully this will be useful.

Just tested it on a couple of BR's (lots of players, lots of points exchanged, etc), and had to make a small tweak... I'll update the code above.

MrB

Wonderful! I have just found the Excel import functions, which I was not aware of before now, but your code saves a lot of additional work.

Opens a whole number of future possibilities!

The added routine SumScores takes the player and points columns and puts them into columns 11 and 12 and then adds and sorts.

To include the macros into your spreadsheet, the easiest way is to go to Developer tab and click Record Macro. Enter to start to run the macro and then immediately stop the macro.
Now go to Macros and select Edit for the macro just recorded. Copy all and paste in the above code for the three routines.

When you have the list of game numbers in column A go to Developer/Macros and Run "SumScores",

Good spot on the cumulative terminator points!

I've had a couple of other thoughts as to how this could be improved for tournaments - it could be possible to populate a list of game numbers from the tournament name... With some variables to control scoring mechanisms, it should be possible to fully automate league tables etc.

I'll look at it again tonight. It would be good to collate some different/typical scoring methods to incorporate into something comprehensive.

Finding on Tournament names would be great - perhaps the "game label" as well, though bringing that information to the spreadsheet would also work.

I had wondered if the round number that players were eliminated in might lead to additional scoring methods for some TO's. Also players' starting points - otherwise I can't think that there is any other information that would be needed. I can see some complex scoring methods coming up in my future tournaments!

I am so impressed with the elegance of it - and sorry that my additions are not in the same league!

I have added some formatting to put lines under each separate game to make it easier to see - the lines don't show up on my table routine, so I can't print the output appearance here

I've got some other bits of code at work that would be useful for getting a unique list of names, and you could use some other formulae to sum your results etc. It would be worth changing some of the variable names to help with consistency across the different procedures. I don't have time tonight but might be able to look at it during the week.
