    Do you have a REST interface that would let me call a url and get back some stats for a specific player or game? This could be useful in a project I'm working on. The ladder would get credit for providing that data, of course.

    Someone could also use this to show ranks in-game.

    actually someone asked me already about this.
    http://ladder.pastats.tk/api.php?player=12672 as example Rocket Jump ;D

    i got there an idea for the 1on1 ladder

    Inactive Player who don´t play within a week lose 10% (from the points above 2000 (You Got 2200 Points so you lose 20Points (2200 - 2000 = 200 - 10% = 180 = 2180))) from their rating points.

    The points will not be lost they go to an bank where the points will be contained until someone plays a game.
    When Points are in the bank 1-5 (only as placeholder) will be added to the points you get in this game (only the winner player the player who lost get nothing more or less than before.

    Example
    Normal: Player A gets 15 points to win against Player B
    In Bank are 200 points: Player A gets 17 points to win against Player B // Now in Bank are 198 points.
    In Bank are 400 points: Player A gets 19 points to win against Player B // Now in Bank are 396 points.

    The points within the bank remain there until they are used they will not vanish.

    What do you think of this idea?
    sorry for my bad english at some places.

    Thanks for the api! We will probably use it on the PACE website.

    I love it!

    Obviously its biased to regular players, but its annoying to have the top slots of the ladder clogged with infrequent players...

    Sounds overly complex. Haven't played for two weeks? Your name disappears. Play again? Welcome back.

    I thought this too, but the problem is you have a fixed number of points in the system (2000 x players). If people leave, especially high-ranked players, it effectively makes those points unavailable to be taken back by other players. While I don't agree with the proposal above (and I had a chat with Illmaren yesterday about a possible alternative), there does need to be a way to free up points so they can be recycled.

    But your score is meaningful only relative to the scores of others, so I don't why that's an issue.

    This would be true if there was no way to re-join after leaving. But if you leave with a high score, and before you come back everyone's actual score drops due to a reduced point pool, then when you return you've effectively been given a point boost relative to the other players.

    has someone any other options for that problem? raevn the solution we got in the IRC is not possible because theere are going to be more players...and in sometime there will be such an huge anmount of rating points needed to give all one..that the points are technially lost.

    You really should make the image a link to help drive traffic to the ladder. Plus, you know, include it in your own sig :p

    @Illmaren

    I have a quick question, I'm trying to configure my Profile Pic Fixer mod to use the sig pic from your ladder and display it on the home screen of PA. I was using the URL format: http://pastats-ladder.gamestown24.de/avatars/LavaSnake.png
    But that seams to only work for legacy accounts from your old system. Could you tell me a simple way to get the new player ID to use in the new URL format? Thanks!

    I think that's the player id from PA Stats. You can find it by hand by searching for your profile and checking the URL of your player page.
    There is no API for it

    ufff...an easy way to get the userid...
    surely? i don´t know a proper way
    i programmed already an API: http://ladder.pastats.tk/api.php?player=12672

    but there you need the ID again..
    i can make an interface that displays all PlayerIDs and you can look after the name you want and use his ID then..
    that would be an API for sure

    example
    Code:
    {"id":"12672","name":"Rocket Jump"}
    
    {"id":"7222","name":"Illmaren"}

    Is it worth it? We don't even know if PA Stats will still even be relevant after the gamma release.
