[REL] PA Stats Matchmaking [66830]

Hey, I seem to have contracted a bad case of noob confusion. I've been using PA Stats to record matches, but only some of them seem to register, and only a single one of the 1v1 games I've played shows on the 1v1 ladder page for my username.

Ah... wait... I think I see it. Does the ladder page only show results from matches where both parties are using PA Stats? Is that what the bold-face font is for on the general stats page, to indicate which players were using the mod?

Hm. Looks that way. But then the question is why the last three or so games I've played (1v1 or otherwise) don't seem to be recorded.

Anyone want to straighten me out?

It seems not a single game has ended up on PA Stats since a few hours. And I think there was a patch.
So yeah... I wonder if I can get this fixed within 15min. If not it will have to wait for 12 hours or so.

Ah. Filed under technical difficulties. Thanks for the quick reply!

Fixed

That was exactly 12 hours. Are you a robot?

No I was off by 8 minutes.
I simply have a rough understanding of how long my daily works takes and I already had read the svn diff of what Uber did

Such... competence!

fix for 62857

pushed another update that cleans up some bugs in the game setup code.
There have been multiple reports of PA completely crashing while automatches try to load, I hope this fixes them.
If not please report as much info as you can to help me fix it.

Could you please either add a color select option or integrate it with the favorite color mod? It's a little annoying to spawn into a match with ugly colors.

I guess I can add it to the bottom of that todo list I have somewhere

Favourite colour mod.

That's the wrong end of the to do list to be adding such a needed feature! (But I understand you're busy and all.)

Look at my profile. I live in the USA where it is happily spelled FAVORITE COLOR!

But the mod is Made-in-Canada, therefore I named my mod "Favourite Colour"!
Yes, yes, I am just ruffling your feathers.

Excuse me while I go make a USA mod that fixes those issues...
jk, I don't really have time for that.

known to be broken in the new patch. E.T.A till I have a real look at it 20 hours

fixed for 63180

There appears to be some sort of issue that causes failed game starts. It somehow breaks internal state resulting in a player to not be able to be setup for a game anymore. If you constantly try to search and you get time outs after it says something like "wait for other players to load and join" you probably have this. Workaround seems to be to wait until the other person searches and then click search. So you need to be the second person to search. I am not sure if it persists after you played one game. This whole thing is just soooo messed up internally.
I may fix this somehow in the not too far future.
EDIT:
Also the issue is somehow created when you start the search first, it makes you the host of the game and your partner for whatever reasons leaves.

This map has mostly balanced starts and a good mix of water and land. It also has a lot of choke points and sneak attack routes.
