Any way to figure out which maps have been completed towards the CrossMap medal?

Any way to figure out which maps have been completed towards the CrossMap medal?

The easiest way is to use the MapRank add-on utility.

The current patched version of MapRank can be found HERE. It works for me both with Firefox and and up-to-date Greasemonkey and with Chrome and an up-to-date Tampermonkey. (Keep in mind, if you want to use it in Game Finder, it must be the olde version of Game Finder, NOT the new one.)

lol, nietzsche wins this thread... .

[mrs1329]

Thanks all!

I already use MapRank and see that it thinks I have 50 cross-maps complete (thanks Nietzche for the list).

However: The medal tracker disagrees:

Cross-Map Achievement
Awarded to members that defeated 5 unique opponents by winning on each of X maps medal Gold 60 42


So I'm trying to figure out which are the 8 maps showing up in MapRank that aren't being counted by the Medal Counter.


Thoughts anyone?

Not sure of the etiquette on this Forum, but bumping once in case someone has any thoughts.

[Mad777]

have you ask king achilles to reset yo medals boards and see if it bump? i know in the past was some glitch were CC missed some games and resetting the medals board helped going closer to MapRank, even though MapRank can’t be trust 100% time but should be accurate as far I know...i will try on mine and see if any difference, i have 240 and will see what MapRank says...

[mrs1329]

thanks. I PMed King Achilles. Hoping he can help.

[mrs1329]

Okay. King Achilles reset the medal stats but it still shows 42 crossmaps vs. MapRank's 50.

Any other thoughts?

You'll might have to count them manually. It's slow and painstaking work, but if you want to get to the bottom of it that might be the only solution.

You don't have to count all your games on all maps, just on the 50 that MapRank lists as cross-mapped.

One other possible thought -- some of those might be against bots. Medal Stats doesn't count bots (except for the bot medals, obviously) but maybe MapRank erroneously does. MapRank was created long before there were bots in the game, so maybe it just treats them as real players. I honestly don't know if it does, but it's worth finding out. In that case, you wouldn't have to go through the whole list of 50 -- just go through them until you fine one map where you don't have 5 wins against live people. Finding just one such map would be presumptive evidence for my hypothesis, and then you'd just have to win one or two extra games against live players on those maps.

where is this medal counter?

I think this is it. Looking at my "Quad Cities' victories (which is credited on my MapRank Crossmap tally), I have 5 unique wins, but 3 of them are against bots. I'll try to beat 3 additional opponents on this map to confirm, but I like this theory.

[mrs1329]

Confirmed! Thanks all for the help.

Confirmed! Thanks all for the help.

You're welcome, and thank you for doing the legwork to test it.

Good to hear this story has a happy ending.
