Conquer Club Map Rank GL

by **waiting4oct** on Tue Jun 02, 2009 3:24 am

I'm sorry if this has already been brought up earlier in the thread. I skimmed through, but didn't see anything.

I just installed this script and when I click on "Map Rank" all that happens is that I get a blank tab open up. Using Map Rank GL 1.2.2; FF 3.0.10; GM 0.8.200901.23.1.

I"ve tried myself, other people, various maps, from the left panel, from the game finder page and I only get a blank tab. (Other than the icons being fritzed out) All other functions seem to work just fine.

It's in another thread:

Thank you, I was able to fix the issue. Fun script!

Map Rank Icons appear to have been reinstated for now.

Nobody can do anything about that. Some game information was deleted permanently so that data can't be recovered and is marked as missing.

Would it be possible to recreate the API for those games? I have no idea how many games are missing logs.

I don't think so, we've discussed many times. Some game logs were physically deleted. We also discussed means of reconstructing the missing data but no way was conceived.

There is a prize for the person who can come up with an accurate way to recalculate all the missing log data precisely - we think we have covered all bases but there is always some genius out there who can think out of the box...

I will have a look at a few of my missing log games and see what I see. I have a few thoughts. Do you have a way of getting that log into the database if I was able to come up with something?

I'm sure something can be done if a solution is arrived at, but again, this needs a lot of thought.

Ok, I'll need to understand what is actually needs to be replaced. Are we talking base API data eg <event> etc. I likely don't yet understand what good data looks like and what bad data looks like. It looks like some assumptions will have to be made, although the goal of minimizing them should be obvious. Using that, and information from other games, it would require a significant solver to back out points etc. I like a good puzzle.

Best Of Luck! If you need any info just ask.

The data in question is the game log data which you can see in every game.
This is missing for a lot of games because they are stored separately and were deleted.
It is the only record of point movement - your overall score is a running total.
Unfortunately there is critical information contained within.

For example - points won and lost and exact timestamps of game log events.
It is the timestamps that really screw attempts to reconstruct missing points.

Is there a way to find all the missing logs, and then list the players involved in the games? Starting with the lowest number by players, we might be able to work backwards into the larger problems. I think you and I need another working session. The last one went really well.

We can list all players in all missing logs, sure.
We need to cater for terminator games also.

lancehoch did come up with an idea that might actually work but nobody would want to do it because it is basically
a brute force sequence of guesses.

Sure, we can chat about it anytime.

If you want something fixed, let me know what to fix.

"It's not working" doesn't give me a hope in hell.

Firebug gives the error below, result is that the script can't access any of the games, which results in 'Scanning...0%' and not increasing..

This is a blocked cross-site AJAX req. Can you see the dropdown of maps in the left menu under Player?

Map Rank is working fine for me, so you will need to give me your environment please.

Firefox 3.5, windows. I don't think anything else influences it (except maybe security, but I have the standard settings).
I've seen and reported something similar in the site's javascript too.
And since this discussion started yesterday, could it have something to do with the moved static files?

Absolutely. The static files have been moved onto another site so if you are using an AJAX request even with a redirect it immediately becomes cross-site.
You can get around this in Greasemonkey using their custom request function, this will solve single AJAX reqs if this is the problem you are getting.

when i go to use maprank in game finder, with newest version of firefox, and only bob/greasemonkey installed, i hit the button to do a maprank, but it acts like its not doing anything at all.. if i do it from the side-bar it works fine. i can even bookmark a maprank, but cant actually do one from game-finder...
