Re: Some Ducati League Statistics for 2010 (and overall)

Very interesting. You'd think that the activity peaked during the good ol' days, but it really increased until 2008.
[HoW] Hell On Wheels vs. "Deleted Team" 31-1 (30 min match)
They propably requested the deletion right after this match.

Re: GU site (UN)attracting players.

Most important reason for using bbcode is to avoid too complex html code (or css or scripts) in user comments and profiles. Making it more flexible decrease site security level. BTW. Maybe you don't know, but bbcode brings you a lot of stuff: http://www.bbcode.org/examples/ Sorry, my text was misle...

I really hope you plan on rejecting the bbcode stuff and replacing it with something more flexible. That one is an annoyance when it comes to versatile css.

Ducati X

Heres comes a new, ground-breaking map, Ducati X ! It sticks to the traditional ducati style, i.e. two team ctf, no jumping, two shot, rico, no superflags. bzfi0015.jpg bzfi0016.jpg As you can see, there is an upper level, the big X across the whole map. You can get there either by using one of the ...

Re: ?, thru, what? wtf? etc.

The solution to this is to create binaries with many "options" and "text configs" removed. This will give everyone a more equal client and much better representation of skill, and not config knowledge. Dear smooth please repeat that sentence 5 times: The options menu is just a g...

Hey fellas, while I was searching for my old config I found a game I made some time ago. I totally forgot about that, but im suprised how well it works.

Switch radarsize/opacity

Sometimes, when I watch a match, I switch to window mode. The problem is that the huge radar makes it impossible to read more than the first 5 players in the list, due to the small window and the unchanged font size. Does anyone know a way to easily switch between huge radar + full opacity and small...

Re: ?, thru, what? wtf? etc.

Another solution: just deem it an honour. It's only about the point of view. If your lag isn't extremely high, you may think : "wow, i'm such a tight dodger that he thinks he shots went through me." :)

Soundeffect when the countdown gets paused

During some matches, I notice that especially at gu, much players do not recognize when the game gets paused, and therefore they start shooting the tanks who are waiting. Recognizing the pause command can be hard especially when s.o. hides the console during a match. So one solution could be a speci...

The only thing is to link the match lenght with the "enjeu" (it's a french world I don't know in english. It means something close to prize/award/ value/given points) of the match. If it's possible to play a 2 hours mega-match, it should give (or take) much more "points" than th...

Maybe it would be easier if you just give every team a zelo of 1200 at the beginning of the season, then it could be computet 'normally'. However, that would just be a second, seasonal zelo, and it wouldn't affect the 'real' zelo. Just a thought. The current demo features this now, you can go and v...

I'd rather prefer a 'Hall Of Fame' instead of 'Season'. Both Standings and Seasons page serve as a "Hall Of Fame" list for the league. The reason why the name "Hall Of Fame" is not used, is that it's is simply to long for the navigation bar on the left :) Yes, your right. Maybe ...

Maybe having a minimum time limit before the cap limit ends the game? There are a few problems with this, but they seem kind of minor right now. It seems dangerous to end a match at 10-8 if there are 10 minutes on the clock still, wouldn't you all agree? Only if you keep thinking of the 10 minutes ...
