GTP_WRS Leaderboard Discussion and Feedback

[Gravitron]

Thanks Joost. I'll quote myself from a few posts up:

Thanks Joost. You kick so much butt. 👍

Thanks Joost

I was thinking that maybe the leaderboard could show what tyres were used in a particular event? I'd imagine it wouldn't be too difficult to add (Though somewhat time consuming to backdate - but that isn't necessary).

Quote from suggestions thread. I think it's a fairly good idea.

I agree it's a nice addition, but it's a design decision not to include it.

The board currently doesn't show any week constraint. When we would include this, we would also have to include all the other constraints to avoid confusion. Otherwise guys would just check out the board, but forget to check the thread where it's also mentioned to upgrade the engine, refresh oil etc.

Besides this, if we included the tires the interface has to be changed, adding more rows to the information panel, this causes it to outgrow the track/car image creating an ugly layout.

So it's nice to have it on the board, but it's a choice not to include it.

The board isn't picking up week 32. It could be due to my mistake when posting it. The thread title showed week 31 for a few minutes, then I updated it to show week 32.

EDIT : Nevermind, it's working now. I had week 31 showing in the lap submission section, maybe that was the issue.

It could very well have been the issue. But glad it has solved itself

On my iPod the leaderboard has a pic of an RM golf and trial mountain's track map. All the other info is correct for this week tho...

The pics are manually created by a generous member, so there's always a bit of "lag" between the start of the week and the correct photos/track map.

And that's an RM Civic.

I asked Jordan about the PSN ID cut under Avatar. He replied it was intentional, and we just have to use that field for most used account... the one we want to be contacted with.

How about the WRS fetchbot? As I'm very short in time this week too I couldn't check myself. Is it able to read it directly from the database record? I fear not, and can't find a solution myself.
I don't want to remove papero1974. It's my historic account, my main and only created the GTP_ one for WRS. The alternative is an unwanted and useless flood of FRs to the wrong account. I see, looking at avatars, I'm not the only in this situation

Fetchy retrieves it's data from the official registry so it's no problem .

Do you mean it recovers mine (for example) from this post? https://www.gtplanet.net/forum/showthread.php?p=4730319#post4730319

Jep

Thanks Joost 👍
Very quick reply.

Hey Joost - Fanatec CSR - will it appear as wheel on the LB? I have one now

Matt

 

[JoostBaksteen]

I think that makes Fetchie jealous, ignoring your wheel

(I'll take a look, probably this weekend)

 

[poolhaas]

Also remember to update the LB pics

Matt has a wheel? Oh no, watch out leaderboard. Enjoy it Matt, it changes the game for you.👍

 

[JoostBaksteen]

D'oh! Sorry mate totally forgot (I've been very busy lately, moving in with my GF and all...)

The images have been fixed and Fanatec wheels are now supported 👍

If you look at an individual driver's history, for example http://wrs.gtplanet.net/driver/GTP_Gravitron/, the titles of the last 2 races are blank. Any ideas? Thanks.

wtf

That's strange....they're empty for the last 3 weeks, but I haven't seen this before.... i'll check this soon, thanks.

 

[Jordan]

I've just moved the WRS site over to a brand new server, so you guys may notice some problems or bugs. As usual, please just report them here!

 

[poolhaas]

It seems fetchy picked up my older splits posted some time ago.

 

[JoostBaksteen]

Thanks Jordan, you've already emailed me this, but it looks like *only* the index page is working. We're working on this.

 

[EDK]

It seems fetchbot has taken the last 3 hours off.

I'm sure he deserves the break, but couldn't he at least let us know he was going to be gone?

 

[JoostBaksteen]

Lol, Fetchy can be pretty stubborn and just goes away without any notice, as usual

I've manually poked Fetchy, but we should keep an eye out...

 

[JoostBaksteen]

Ok guys, i've rewritten some parts of the board to fix the problems so everything should be back to normal, apart from Fetchy not updating, but i've asked Jordan to check the crons.

 

[poolhaas]

👍 thanks for the hard work.

 

[JoostBaksteen]

Ok guys, Jordan has fixed the cron, so everything should be back to normal

PS: thanks Kristof

 

[cicua]

Thanks for keeping things running 👍

 

[EDK]

Seems like maybe he's doing OK with the split updates, but I had to give him a manual kick in the butt this morning to get him to grab my submission PM.
