Ok, now that I have enabled the Leaderboards for the Hardcore Festival from my point of view we are feature complete - but I am open for suggestions :)

I have enabled the manual update for MS:MV!
I found Cirrus' AVTA thread and stole the times from there as a start (hope you dont mind!) Additionally I added the MS:A and MS:MV Olympics and Highscore pages to the No Frames views drop down menu. These pages were accessible when using frames for some time already but I simply forgot to add them for those of you that don't use frames. For the sake of completeness I added these too yesterday ;)
Since there is no internet accessible data source (I know of) the times must be entered manually by you. Just like it is for now with the Apocalypse Leaderboards. I have hope that I find someone who collected times I can import as a start. To not interfere with that I have deactivated the manual update and just filled the database with some fake times so you can play around with it a bit. I'll activate the update page as soon as the import is done (or in about a week if I don't find useful data). I implemented the merged account feature for MSA queries.
As you all know, many of us, including me, could not do TA with our primary accounts before the recent MSA update. So there are many second accounts on the MSA TA leaderboards. To get rid of them and attribute all times to the racer who has done them, I thought, I give this priority over the hardcore leaderboards. For those unfamiliar with that feature from the MSPR pages: If your accounts are merged, you see only the primary account name on the leaderboard, but the fastest times of all your accounts are used to calculate the sum and rank. ...and while I was at it, I also added the Olympics and the Highscore pages for MSA. These are so many new features, that obviously I couldn't test enough. But I'm quite confident its already useful. So I've thrown it out as is for you to check. So, if you enter your MSA TA times on my site, please enter the account you really used so we have the same times and names here and in the game. If your second account (or third, fourth, ...) is not merged yet on my site, just let me know and I'll arrange for it. well, more or less. Of course we could also have history, olympics or highscore like for MS:PR. But first I will focus on hardcore races.
Thanks for inserting times - leaderboards are getting more and more useful :) and Jagerade only needs to give us his Financial Ruin time to be the first to appear with a sum for all tracks!
Hi again,
I was fed up with waiting for a MS:A website with results and stats from Evolution Studios, so I started developing 5 days ago without it. What I have now is enough to show you a first glimpse on what my MS:A leaderboards will look like. The MS:PR veterans will feel at home immediately because I did not reinvent the wheel. The only available leaderboard so far is MSA All Summed and because I only have three times in the database yet, you have to select the right track and vehicle to see anything (choose A Bridge Too Far/Big Rig, Wargames/Big Rig or Jailhouse Rock/Dirt Bike). Since there is no official site with data yet, the only way your times will get into my leaderboards is if you enter them. So expect the update page soon. It is next on my list. Then you can see via the Stats link how many times we have entered so far. Of course, should there be a possibility to automate the time imports later on, then I will do that. Here is a direct link to get you started: http://joban123.110mb.com/mainframe.php?vip=&vehicles=1&tracks=34&mode=msa_all&ok=OK&msa=1&frames=0 |
