    Because the ladder is an entirely different thing than pa stats.

    ya but why though?

    it's not because they are different that they shouldn't be one mod.

    plus it's not like you couldn't find a reason in the world to justify this or that the two are completely unrelated.

    i mean Automatch is the same mod, the charts is the same mod the end of game stats is the same mod...

    automatch - in game ratings ... you sure you can't see a link?

    PA Stats at least so far does not calculate any ratings itself (and most likely never will do it), so I fully agree that this would not be a part of PA Stats.
    Automatches are mostly a part of PA Stats because the only way to introduce an automatching mod is by pushing it out to hundreds of people without them having to do anything.

    For one thing, there are actually two different ladders that both use the same PA Stats data. Having PA Stats display the rank would force @cola_colin to choose a favorite ladder. As far as I know, PA Stats itself never actually keep any information related to ladders except the winners of each game. It's the other ladders that use the PA Stats web service to query that data and create ranks for players.

    The other big point I have is that PA Stats already tends to get pretty unstable at times as it is. Making it rely on another service outside of cola_colin's control would likely end up causing more problems than it would solve. I don't even see how lobby ranks being included in PA Stats would solve any problem anyway, since making a new mod is easy enough.

    Thinking further: If PA Stats should ever try to rate players I'd role my own system anyway. I don't want to create situation where my server plays ping pong with another server like that.

    You can write a mod that uses either the data from illmaren or Yrrep or the data from PA Stats itself right now. Nobody stops you. The data is right there to use it. I just never intended PA Stats to be a rating service.

    Illmaren's ladder allows you to send a request like this to get the player rating.
    http://ladder.pastats.tk/api.php?player_n=captain conundrum
    Code:
    {"id":"7553","data":{"name":"Captain Conundrum","1on1":{"rating":"2247"},"2on2":{"rating":"2002"}}}

    Yeah that can happen when some events get lost along the way. Especially if you disconnect and reconnect or visit the options.

    Hellos. I wonder why my mods don't work at all? I install mods using PA Mod Manager but none of them (Hotbuild2, In Game Timer and PA Stats) don't work. Perhaps I missed something but after looking for forums, I couldn't find anything.

    I bought this game from Steam and it should be up to date (version 64498 - win64).

    ps. I also tried to search proper place for this question but looks like everyone else can make their mods work :), so if this is wrong thread, moderators can move (or delete) this message.

    There is a report that PA Stats "prevents the main menu from showing up".
    Does anyone else have issues?

    EDIT:
    No matter if I use the launcher or directly pa.exe I cant see any issues and there have been a lot of games played since I last did an update.
