Leagues General / How to find an specific game (Leagues Search)
« on: May 17, 2009, 08:28 AM »
First I wanted to code some "advanced" search which gives a lot of options. I thought to make 1 field for search and include all the "advanced" things inside it.

In all of the leagues pages you can see the search field :


The search field combine all the words you type together, Tries to find all the words.
If you have doubts about your words, you can include !or in your search words, so that the system tries to find games that have at least one of your words.

For example:
MonkeyIsland WxW Roper !or

Will give you all the games containing: MonkeyIsland OR WxW OR Roper

But this one:
MonkeyIsland WxW Roper
Will give you all the games containing: MonkeyIsland AND WxW AND Roper

If you are looking for a sentence you can put it in the double quotes:
"The Ultimate Site"
will give you games containing that line. but
The Ultimate Site
Gives you games with word The AND Ultimate AND Site.

The words you enter are being searched in the :

  • Game IDs
  • Players names
  • Schemes
  • League type (Classic, TNL, Free ...)
  • Game type (1vs1, 2vs2, 3vs3)
  • Game style (Single, Clanner, Country, Squad)
  • The uploaded replay name
  • In-game chat  (You must include !chat in your keyword, otherwise the search won't look into game chats)
That's all. nothing hard ;)

Just some examples how to search :


1. Are you looking for a game you know its ID? then its the easiest search :
     e.g.  Type  "4365"  (without the quotes)

2. Looking for games for specific players?
     e.g.  Type  "pr f4st"  (without the quotes)

3. Looking for games for specific players and specific scheme?
     e.g.  Type  "pr f4st ttrr"  (without the quotes)

4. Looking for games for specific players and specific scheme and specific game style?
     e.g.  Type  "pr chelsea ttrr clanner"  (without the quotes)

5. Looking for games for specific players and specific game type?
     e.g.  Type  "pr chelsea 2vs2"  (without the quotes)

6. Looking for games for specific clans?
     e.g.  Type  "pp clanner"  (without the quotes)

You can combine as many words as you want and the order doesn't matter.

An example of game replay search:
I searched for "pr", in the last page :
https://www.tus-wa.com/leagues/search/pr-16/

There's a game (last one when I'm writing this),  KeKkO vs Artharas.
If you download the replay you will see that pr was watching their game. ;)

Leagues General / Intermediate on Test
« on: March 10, 2009, 10:17 AM »
The situation to me looks like this :

1. When I put the poll there, it was 10, 7 in favour of Intermediate. Now it is 34 to 26 in favour of Intermediate. But the point is some people do not enter TUS because it has Intermediate. So they won't poll minus for Intermediate. I can say 34 is the true poll for Intermediate, But 25 is not. 

2. In this season out of 150 games there were only 17 Intermediate games so far.

3. Free league has  few games in it. I'm thinking if we move Intermediate to the free league, Would it give more activity to the free league? If so, Intermediate players can have their own playoffs in the free league since Intermediate would be the most scheme being played there.

4. Intermediate was in 3 seasons on TUS. I'd like to test to see how things change with it being in the free league.

I'll be moving it to the free league. in 1 or 2 days. and probably will add 10 more days to this season and We'll try it for season 4 and 5.  If there were no big changes we'll move back.

Those 4 are main reasons.
This thread is for the people who still thinks we shouldn't move intermediate AND have some better reasons than those 4.

Cups and Tournaments General / Integrate Cups with Leagues?
« on: February 26, 2009, 04:26 PM »
Here's the idea.

TUS give points like leagues to cup games. Having that the tie problem in groups might be solved easily. If 2 members have done same in their group, The one with the lower rank will proceed.

If so, Maybe we can mix members league points with their cups points (probably their tourney points too in the future).

Pros and cons? shoot! ^^

Cups and Tournaments General / Finishing cups
« on: February 06, 2009, 07:49 AM »
Seems that cups are getting out of control. and look crappy to me -.-

I'll stop any coding process on TUS, And I'll finish Cups v1.0 in the few incoming days.

Schemes / How to save scheme to your account and more!
« on: February 02, 2009, 12:02 PM »
To make it short,

Everybody on TUS have a "scheme Inbox". He/she can save as many schemes as he wants in this inbox. You can modify your schemes online anytime, and If you want you can make that scheme "go public" so that others can see or download it too, otherwise they are your private schemes.
the TUS scheme editor/Maker will do the changes to your scheme file too. So there's no need to run W:A or any other program. the only thing you have to do is editing it online, TUS will do the rest.

To make it long ^^
I'll do it step by step:

1. Go to TUS scheme editor/Maker. It is a place which you can save your schemes. Its link is on the main navigation menu under schemes. There's also a link in your user panel called "Submit a scheme" :



Enter your scheme name in the first field.
ok, Now you have 3 options.

1. Select a scheme file from your hard drive, after selecting, hit "Load".
2. Enter a scheme ID that is already on TUS, In case you wanna do some changes in it, then hit on "Load".
3. Leave these field alone. System by default will load the game Intermediate scheme.

I want to upload a Bungee Scheme, I select it and I hit "Load" :



System will load your scheme, gameoptions and weapons.
If I want, I can do a little change to it, before saving it to my Inbox. In game options part, The explanation on how to change their value will be written on the information box when you put your mouse on it. In the weapons options, All boxes acts the same.

For example I want to make my Teleport infinite, I click on the weapons options bar, after it got open :



I can click on the weapon image (or the bottom of the ammo image) to increase its value like the game, so after 9, it will give you infinite ammo.
By right clicking on this box, the value decreases. (Sorry opera users, they can't use right click ^^, Opera believes that right click in your browser is so important that no one must mess around with it ;) )

OR you can simply type the amount you'd like on the top of the image. That is an input field there. (not just a text).


Done editing your scheme? You can click on "Save this scheme to my inbox". It will save your scheme file to your inbox, and it will redirect you to your scheme inbox :



This is showing the list of schemes that you have saved to your account. The Book (bible ;D)  image is your file, you can click on it to download.

On the right, You have 2 links : Edit and Delete.
Delete is clear enough.

On the edit page,
You will have your scheme full control in case you wanted to make that scheme public.
You can set :
Scheme name,
Scheme full name,
Scheme type, being Battle, Race or ...
Scheme image, You can set an image for it. As scheme symbol?
Scheme examples : Up to 3 replays on how to play your scheme.
Scheme full explanation.
and editing your scheme file.

and at the end You have this button to make your scheme public :



By clicking it, Your scheme will be viewed in the TUS schemes lists. Note that once it is set to be viewed on public, You can't delete this scheme anymore. But you will have access to all kind of modifing it.

Please post after your poll, that if the system must be changed in this season, OR the changes must go for the next season.

before you go on, the last stats which is by the formula, is not sharp. but close to reality. notice "face" was 9th in stats and he is 17th in the last. it refers to, he claimed he gained lot of points cause he was new in the second season.

Cups and Tournaments General / Current accepted Ideas for tourneys
« on: January 08, 2009, 06:04 PM »
On this post I will be showing the accepted ideas for the tourneys.

Unique's post needs more reviewing, So the accepted parts on that will be here later.

1. Verifying code.
In your tourneys settings page, You will be asked for a 5 digit code that you can change it anytime. Since TUS already knows your nick, clan, country or any other information, You can tell the tourney mods this code. By entering this code to the system, TUS will register you in that tourney. It is for preventing faking your nick.  MODS are trusted in TUS, But you can change this code after each tourney you play.

2. Replay uploads
After EACH game you won, you can tell the mod that you won it, and mod enter that in TUS system. This will open up a field for you, which you must upload the game replay. Since most of the time after you win a game you have to wait for the next round, You can use this time for uploading your game replays.
As it is right after the game, So almost no replay gets lost in time. However mods will be able to force a game to win without uploading the replay in some cases, but that player will receive minus points.

3. The tourney page
The tourney page will announce current status for that tourney.
For example, If tourney hasn't started yet, If you view that tourney page, you will see how much you have to wait for the tourney to start.
If you view the page after registration are opened, You will see the people already registered in that tourney, So that you won't bother the mod asking him : List of players please...  or ask him 3 times "Am I in? Am I in ?"  (So that Dario won't yell at you ;) jk )
If you view it after signups are closed, you will see the pairing.
If you view it in tourney round 2, you will see the results for the round one.
If you view it after the tourney, You will see the tourney and how the tourney went.

4. MODs rating
After a tourney is finished, You can rate how the mod acted in that tourney.
There must be some element for "Trusted mods".

* This page will get updated each time.

Why does the system still calculate new points with the old score, if there was a reset?

*System calculates your rank by all the games you have done no matter in what season*

- To make people play with their nearest rank.

Imagine some player reached the rank elite.  It means that he is great player in that scheme, right?
Now he plays in the next season. He starts off at 1000 pts. But should the system count him as absolute beginner too?

If so, Then he can play with noobs and gain enough points. Since he is elite in that scheme, he can beat lots of noobs, and go up easy ...
But if the system count him as an elite player, he better play with higher ranked players to gain enough points, than noob bashing.

It is not a total solution for noob bashing, But still it decreases some.

TUS Discussion / Next Part on TUS, Map database?
« on: January 03, 2009, 08:00 AM »
I'm thinking about having a map database on TUS, before I start coding the Tourneys part.

Why? There are a few map database sites already!


Reasons :   :D

  • I have promised Big Billy before I start coding TUS about making a map database :D
  • Connecting Leagues, Tourneys and Cups to Map database :

    I've been checking replays. I see most of the time, the host takes advantage of hosting "His Maps".
    For example, In the WfW if you know the map well and your opponent is not familiar with the map, I say he is dead already before the game starts. I gotta say almost in EVERY scheme there's this advantage that the host can take. It is not his fault. Someone must host!

    So I'm saying TUS can pick up a map by random for the players.
    For this, The system must have :

    1. Rated by being standard maps :
    People can vote for the maps if they are standard to be play for a serious game.

    2. Rated by difficulty maps:
    Is a map easy, normal or hard?  System can pick a map for them in the normal categorized maps. e.g a normal wxw map.

    Another advantage I guess we would have by this is :
    When picking maps, 1st player goes to some page maybe "Map picker".  He request a map, then his opponent must go to that page and confirm, and then system will give them a map.
    So if someone is faking somebody else's name, he can't come to site and confirm his map.

Leagues General / Prize on the leagues
« on: January 03, 2009, 07:35 AM »
Actually this is not new idea.
People who know a bit of the history of TUS, would smile and say "Finally!"
(Yea yea I will write a history about TUS)

New year started, and TUS showed its potential though there were so many negative advertising about it.
I'd like to lift TUS up to the next level.

*10 dollars as a prize for the winner of season #2 classic league singles*

You don't need any new registration or any payment. As stated, It is only a prize to win, So nothing to lose.

I don't want to make any big deal out of it. So please do not shout on roofs about it.
On the other side, we will be collecting stats for this prize about :

  • How many more complaints we receive?
  • How much (more) sucky attitudes, insulting ...
  • How much people will act crazy, So how many people we have to ban?
  • Can we handle it, So that does it worth it?
  • Will there be any games for the free league?

However,
If people can't hold themselves together and start to act crazy
OR
If the poll says "no" :
it will get canceled. (TUS is still a site made by people)

p.s I still hear people complain about the points system. I will be finalizing leagues in the next week. If it really bothers you, put your opinion in leagues ideas.

Leagues General / How to browse previous leagues (Time Machine)
« on: January 01, 2009, 09:21 AM »
There's a Time Machine select box at the top of most league pages :



Select the season you want, and click on the "Set, GO!". It changes the leagues time to that season in all pages. For example If you set the time machine to season #1 in recent games page, The stats page will show you the season #1 result too, so does every other page.

There's another option called "Show me the overall stats". This will show you ALL the seasons together, Without any time limitation. For example if you want to see players stats by every single game they've played, not only by 1 season, OR you want to see a player rank in TUS, Set the Time Machine to this option.

I guess this is be the easiest way to find something in previous leagues or maybe to compare same page in different leagues.

255
Leagues General / Rates level changed
« on: December 27, 2008, 08:50 PM »
Today rates level changed.

As some people asked about it, I changed it to each 60 pts 1 level. So that the difference between people becomes more so more points can be gained/lost in games.

We'll see how it effects the results. I guess it will decrease noob bashing.

(It may change back to what it was before.)
