vBulletin Mods

Is there any way I can take away the option to put in "Map" when you challenge someone on a ladder? I'm using this for Madden NFL 11 so there's no real point for that. If it's something small I can do, please let me know.

Thanks

Upgraded to latest version and when i clic k to view my tournaments that was created before the upgrade i get :

Many thanks mate, Worked a treat

I totally love this mod, best tournament script i ever tried, and still it has so much potential. I would like to see it become as good as Gamebattles.com wich is the best ladder site out there. Its good for inspiration :-)

Dont know if there is a roadmap for this mod?

There is a ton of things i would like to see added but dont want to seem to greedy.

Feature req.

1. when u play best of 3 to have the option to make people report 3 scores and summon up.

2. Add a date and a time on a challenge so people know when to be online.

3. Put on amount of hours(24 or 48) before u can challenge the same team, this is made to avoid cheat.

4. Make some widgets to put on frontpage of the cms (top 10 ranking, latest matches ect)

5. pay to play

6. create a player profile for singles as for teams

7 a more detailed team profile like http://gamebattles.com/xbox360/battl.../team/team-hk/.

8. Matchfinder is high on the wish list

9. League option

10. rules for each ladder/tournament and not as description

Good ideas.

Another suggestion is a warlight. Basically the team admin can click their warlight on, which means a icon appears beside their team on the ladder indicating they are looking for a match. Its a good idea to have the icon dissappear automatically after 1 hour.

Now that would be top class
Even if the players would be able to do this it would be a great add on

Another suggestion is a calendar on each teams page showing what matches they have accepted so people know when that team is free to challenge.

Is it ok to change this line or remove it:

Tournaments & Ladders Manager v4.2.3 Copyright by BananaLive

If ok where do i do that?

For me, it goes

Quarter-Finals -> Semi-Finals -> Final

With the Finals in the semi-finals column and winner in the finals

Is there any German Translation?

As an Admin, how can I see what was put in the Extra Fields? I'm using one of the fields as a game rules section, so how can I see to the rules they agreed on before the game?

Thanks

It would be easier to have a link to a rules page in the header paragragh of the ladder.

I know Im getting annoying now.

But how about warrning ticks beside a team/player on the ladder and on their profile page. The admin can give ticks, and say get 3 ticks and your team is disqualified.

Back on my old site Paniczoom, we had a reputation system. 1 to 5 stars. submitted after every match when the teams entered the score.

I dont think so, you are helping making this script better, like the rest of us :-)

Tournament admins are not about to move contestants up in the bracket.

I verified that the original template has the same problems to rule out my modifications. The arrow just isn't there. Double checked permissions, etc.

Can provide login if needed.

Donation of 50$ made ... But would have anyway just didnt know where :-)

Keep up the good work and ill donate some more

Worked, thanks!

How can I reset the information... Example: I want the points in postbit and everything to go back to installation default... How can I do that?

Have you tried uninstalling and then reinstalling?

Hi, I have 2 questions:

1, How do you update a match in the single elimination chart from tournament admin?

2, Can you put the score result in single elimination chart?

Thanks

Hi

i dont know what went wrong but when i start a tournament i cant find where to report scores? the arrows is on duble elimination tournament but not on the single...

can anyone help?

Well no, cause I don't want to erase the created ladders.

I downloaded this and testing the tourney feature. I setup the tourney - but no where for the teams to report the match results for their round? Can you point me where they are to report tourney match results at please?

Any chance of releasing it without the ELO system, and just having a points based system for win / loss?

more than happy to donate to look into this.

Or even better.. A way to change the point system to our desire

I can't seem to install it properly. Can anyone help? It keeps giving me this when I go to import the file:

How exactly do the Elo points work for ladders? I have a guy who is 1-0 with 1036 points and a guy who is 4-0 with 1016 points. I honestly have no idea what's going on with it. If it's relevant, I changed my K-Value from 50 to 100 before any games were played.

Also I'm using this for Madden 11 so does the score affect it? Because we get games like 56-21 or even more of a blow out.

Oh and finally, would you be willing to help come up with a new algorithm for determining Elo rating? I'd be willing to make a donation.

Thanks

is it correct that this only mod is using the primaryuser group to copy the rights??

as i have a friend that is additional in the Admin group but cant enter the competions mod, while i can and i'm in the primary admin group.

Currently all other groups are blocked to view it

How can I make the team logos bigger on the page?

Agree - would love a system where in admin setup you can set the points for a win and the negative points for a loss. Thanks!

See the READ ME file in the download files. You have to first upload with FTP to your root directory (see where and what files in the read me section) to your server. Then you try to import the product file.

Tried messing with the usergroup settings under Admin?

@rwolf64 edit your usergroups to let them view the mod,

For admin turn all Tournament and ladder permissions to yes, and set the maximum teams a user can create to a amount you want to let them create.

Do not set Tournament Moderator to Yes for registrated users or other usergroups you dont want to have full controll over all tournaments/ladders.

ELO Rating System - Explained

The ELO Rating System has been around for decades. It was originally used for rating chess players but is portable to other games and fits in well with web games. Here's what it does:

• ELO is used to rate players based on skill level. It is generally used for two player games like chess but can be modified.
• A new player is assigned a default rating, say 1200.
• Two players compete and end with one of three results: player 1 wins, player 2 wins, players 1 & 2 tie.
• The two player's ratings are fed into an algorithm along with the end state of the game and a new rating for each player is returned.

If two players both rated 1200 played and player 1 wins then player 1 will have a rating of about 1205 and player 2 will be 1195. What makes ELO so cool is what happens over time. Players that win a lot end up with higher ratings. But the higher rated player starts to see diminishing returns for defeating low ranked players. So in order for a high ranked player to increase his rank, he must defeat other higher ranked players. If a high ranked player loses to a low ranked player, he loses much more of his rating then he'd gain if he won the match. Over time the game players will end up being rated based on their skill level rather than other factors.

That's what I was thinking but at the same time I don't think someone who is 4-1 should be at the bottom of the ladder. And that's what is going on right now. Is there any way I can tweak the system? I was digging in the ladder file but I have no experience in javascript. I like the idea of Elo, but I don't like that a 4-1 player can be behind someone who is 0-3 and my site members don't like it either.

Elo rating is also based on who they play:

When players draw their scores, become closer together.

When player of higher rank wins, winner elo rating increases only little bit.

When player of lower rank wins, winner elo rating increases more.

Is it posible to change tournaments so that scores are reported by users... It very high ón the wish list

Hi, had a quick check of the last few pages and don't think this has been reported before;

I'm getting a DB error when trying to view "free agents" on v4.2.3b with vB 4.0.7.
Other than that looking pretty nice!

Nice, suggestion for a future update - when creating the team, can you have it send out PM's to all the players you want?

Upload attached file to forum directory, fix will be included in future releases

It is something i am looking into.

One important thing we have found missing is the ability for admins to delete challenges. Admins should be able to view all challenges and amend them as they see fit.

Also both teams should be allowed to delete accepted challenges if they both agree. Admins should also have these priviledges.

Admins can currently view all challenges. As of v4.2.4 admins will be able to delete challenges.

Ok thanks.

Bump

Ladder:
One more very impotent thing is to be able to set a certain time for when 2 teams can do a rematch. Normaly its set for 24 hours to secure that no one cheats. If this is not added people can play 10 times a day against a "fake" team to reach the playoff/final or whatever...

Tournament:
Add the abillity to add a date on top/bottom of each round in the tournement bracket. This could indicate when a match should be played within, if you dont want a one day tournament.

See link for example:

http://mw2.ps3.consolegaming.eu/tournaments.php?id=73

Ok running a beta ladder to get feedback from our users. This is what we have so far.

Ticket system. A button to send a PM to a certain staff of staff members responsible for that ladder. Possibily linked to the dispute feature.

Eligibility icon. Players should have to wait 24 hours before being able to play in a match.

Admin lock team. Ability to lock a team so no other player can join. This is to prevent ringers.

Admin delete challenges.

Players delete accepted challenges if both team leader confirm.

On a side nite, as Admin I cant view any challenges other than those regarding my own team. Any else having this problem?

umm how do I advance teams on the team tournament bracket? and dont say click the arrow. WHAT ARROW!?!?!?

And yes I gave myself all Permissions for my group including moderation permissions

Found a small bug.

When i goto a ladder through the different catergories I get this

http://www.play2compete.com/forums/l...p?do=view&id=7

where the Rules link displayed correctly

but if I click ladder list i get this

http://www.play2compete.com/forums/ladders.php

where the Rules link displays as text instead of a link

Any ideas how to fix this?

There was a bug with the category description, displaying a ladder description instead (fixed in next version).

All links (and all other bb code) gets removed from ladders description on ladders list so that it stays tidy.

In next version (beta released tomorrow) new challenges will have date/time field, which links into timezones.

Team profile pages will have a new tab for upcoming challenges.

A new limit on challenging same player in same ladder is being introduced. Setting controlled in admincp options.

You can also change how ladders are ranked in admincp options.

For tournaments losing player can now report their lose, progressing their opponent to next round. (Single elimination tournaments only)

There will also some other minor changes/fixes.

Sounds great. Keep up the amazing work.

i get this error when clicking a username in the hall of fame

Not sure what causing that. Hopefully it will be fixed from changing link format.

If you've got any improvements i'll happily add them.

For those who have edited tmnt_bracket template to include extra user details in tournament brackets (and are finding bracket lines to be incomplete) this is now fixed for next version.

I have seen 2 basic methods for scoring.

1) SIMPLE METHOD - So much for Win and so much for Loss. We use this. 100 XP pts for Win and -33 for Loss. Regardless of team rank it is the same.

2) COMPELX METHOD - where the scoring is effected by rank. A higher rank team losses more XP points to a loss to a lower rank team and a Higher rank team wins fewer points for a win over a lower ranked team. The theory is to keep the higher ranked teams playing more higher ranked teams and not the lower ranked teams just to stay on the top of the ladder. However, the down side is the higher ranked team will not want to play a lower ranked team due to more points lost if they lose. I believe this system or something similiar is used by ladder sites.

In either method developed, would be wonderful if in the admin section each team can choose which system they want to use or can change the point values themselves. We used to set the point values on the table format (method 2) so no matter what method the result was still 100 pts for Win and -33 for loss. Just to keep it simple.

Just in case you are interested - here is some more info. on the #2 complex system:

SUMMARY:

If you play a team that has the same "Level" number as you, the winner increases XP by 100 points and the loser decreases XP by 100 points.

If the level of difference is 1, there is a check for who has more points. If the winners points is greater then the losers, the winner gets 90 and loser loses 90 but if the losers xp points is greater then the winner xp points. The winner gets 120 and the loser losses 110.

If the level of difference is 2, there is a check for who has more points. If the winners points is greater then the losers, the winner gets 80 and loser loses 80 but if the losers xp points is greater then the winner xp points. The winner gets 140 and the loser losses 120.

If the level of difference is 3, there is a check for who has more points. If the winners points is greater then the losers, the winner gets 70 and loser loses 70 but if the losers xp points is greater then the winner xp points. The winner gets 160 and the loser losses 130.

If the level of difference is 4, there is a check for who has more points. If the winners points is greater then the losers, the winner gets 60 and loser loses 60 but if the losers xp points is greater then the winner xp points. The winner gets 175 and the loser losses 140.

If the level of difference is 5, there is a check for who has more points. If the winners points is greater then the losers, the winner gets 50 and loser loses 50 but if the losers xp points is greater then the winner xp points. The winner gets 190 and the loser losses 150.

If the level of difference is 6, there is a check for who has more points. If the winners points is greater then the losers, the winner gets 40 and loser loses 40 but if the losers xp points is greater then the winner xp points. The winner gets 205 and the loser losses 160.

If the level of difference is 7, there is a check for who has more points. If the winners points is greater then the losers, the winner gets 30 and loser loses 30 but if the losers xp points is greater then the winner xp points. The winner gets 215 and the loser losses 170.

If the level of difference is 8, there is a check for who has more points. If the winners points is greater then the losers, the winner gets 20 and loser loses 20 but if the losers xp points is greater then the winner xp points. The winner gets 215 and the loser losses 170.

If the level of difference is 9, there is a check for who has more points. If the winners points is greater then the losers, the winner gets 10 and loser loses 10 but if the losers xp points is greater then the winner xp points. The winner gets 215 and the loser losses 170.

If the level of difference is 10, there is a check for who has more points. If the winners points is greater then the losers, the winner gets 5 and loser loses 5 but if the losers xp points is greater then the winner xp points. The winner gets 215 and the loser losses 170.


Bananalive - I will send you a PM with some more info. that may be useful on system 2 just in case you are interested in it.

Nice one SB...

I can't seem to find the dispute button for a challenge, and I get a database error when I create a Ladder for Players.

vBulletin 4.0.6
Tournament Plugin 4.2.4

I can't change a players points back to 0? Any idea why?

I figured out why I got a database error. It shows the database error after turning the: "Join User Tables to User Profile Tables" on.

- Also I can only dispute matches in a Ladder with players. In the team Ladder there is no dispute option.

- The submit a lose button is also only available in a tournament with players. Its not there in a tournament with teams.

- The screenshot of proof field is only available in player Ladders, and not in team Ladders for some reason.

Also it would be nice if we could turn off the private message notification, and only have the challenge notification. Every time someone gets challenged now they get 2 notifications.

If a moderator inserts a challenge they can't pick a map or anything. It just creates the challenge. It would be nice if they could.

Loving your plugin keep up the good work!

Could you maybe tweak the rating system to experience isn't as much of a factor. It would just depend on the result of the game (win or loss) and the relative skill levels. Also is there a way to cancel a challenge without calling it a draw if it never happens?

Got some questions:

Is it possible for a player to play on 2 teams on the same ladder/tournament?

Can we modify the help pages ourselves?

Can we have an update list for v4.3 or v4.2.5 please?

Plus whats the difference between this script and this one http://www.vbulletin.org/forum/showt...89375&page=139

I would like to see some widgets souch as

1. Latest match (box with 2 team logos and score in the middle)

2. Ranking (top 10 maybe with tabs to show xbox, ps3 etc)

3. Latest laddets/tournaments (box that shows ladders and a join buttom)

To get an idea look gamebattles.com :-)

I really like the that you Can set date and time on challenges but it would be cool if there was resend the Challenge with a new date and time

High on the wish list.

Option to change wrong reported scores

Elo rating causes some weird stuff :-(

how do i add 2. system ?

How is this done?

Hi mate. Great great plugin you made here

Have a suggestion I hope you will consider - a way to seed people (I figure a number from 1-max players joined), where you can tell the system the way you figure the end result will be.
This way you could maybe change the matchups from random, to place people accordingly to the seeding value.

Seed 1 and 2 will be placed on each side of bracket and have a big chance of meeting in final.

This could help to avoid the 2 best players from meeting in round 1,2,3

Great suggestion +1

Some needs.

1. Brackets need to show the score of each match. (Other bracket systems have this. We need to emulate what they have, if not improve on it)
2. Tournaments need to have a substitute(back ups) sign up system. (Tournaments do not run smoothly if substitutes are not accepted. Organizers know this.)

I think the most importen thing is to be able to fix if a wrong score is added. And it should be done in the backend :-(

Agree - only an Admin should be able to fix by edit/delete match reports, edit/delete challenges, delete team, etc.

And look this, and that cool unranked button:
http://mw2.ps3.consolegaming.eu/ladders.php?id=87

And all unranked player Rank 0 -> Last in list.

Whens the next update?

Thanks again only just got around to doing the update but all went well and working fine on 4.6
