[REL] Planetary Automatic Ladder

Don't abandon the trueskill one abandon the elo one.

haha, i never said i would ;D
The New Page is still not fully finished

Good day everyone.

today i found something disturbing...
My Domain at dot.tk is down (was paid for 3 years) and noone in the Support could help me why this is...
with Customer number etc. where was nothing to be found in their System

So i´m going to get this time from my own money an domain...this will cost around 10-12$ (not sure because i´m paying it in €) but this will take some time because i got no money for that right now (other things got more priority.)

So be patient. around 2/1 - 2/4 the new domain is avaible.
sorry these problems.

for these people who can´t wait you can use this domain here: http://ladder.illmaren.de/
but this is 100% not the end domain for the ladder

New Domain: http://paladder.com
New E-Mail: support@paladder.com

Thank you for getting this back up! Kinda felt naked without it.

I´m partly releasing the new Ladder Page.
This got two purposes.

1. To give you the chance to look at the page and give me your opinion
2. To look for bugs within this Page.

Send bugs and Opinions to this E-Mail:

Or write something in this Theard.

Needs better contrast between background and text on the homepage.

'Chat' link should probably now point to palobby.com/chat, although keeping a reference to the IRC channel would be nice as well.

Firefox is the most used Browser for my Website.
As the matter of fact that PAlobby.com needs an Chrome browser i could do it, that i point below the page that there is an Ingame Chat for Chrome Users...

Also i´m adding the PALobby.com into my Footer.

I´m not quite sure what an better contrast would be. i mean yes its white on white/grey but argh ^^ try yourself with Firebug or something simliar.

Just some suggestions...

Yeah, a darker background would be better. All of that white hurts my eyes to look at.

Provide the ability to sort the players by the column headers in the Playerlist, so we could sort by Player, Games, W/L, or L as well as W.

Also, could you set it to show more than 40 players per page on the Playerlist? 40 is such an odd number. Making that configurable would be great. However, simply giving us the option to show ALL players in the full list on the same page might work too (you show all players on the 1on1 and UberSkill pages), or even some find feature that shows the players position in the list (instead of just loading up that players page).

Lastly, I kind of miss the interesting stats page that listed the top 10 players with the highest total game time, or the player who created the most units to date in 1 game, or the longest game to date, etc.

Can´t figure an Color / alternative for it just black is boring.

In Progress i had it at some point within the Page but patched it out

Its still there (checked it) on the old Page its still active and will also be on the new page

configurable would be possible but i´m not sure which way ( Account Cookie Session and so on)

I´ll show on Playerlist only 40 (which number would be better 100?) because i show there ALL Player so it would be to huge to show it.

You mean something where you write the name of an player and the page highlights then the line in the list?

That would be this page here: http://pastats.com/stats
i got only this here: http://beta.paladder.com/stats/month

How about Dark Blue background and White text? Or Green and white. Even Grey would be a better background than bright White.

I understand about the page getting too big for some people, if you listed them all by default. I was thinking of a show ALL link at the bottom, as an option, if people wanted that. If not, then 100 per page would be much better. The UberSkill page shows over 300 by default, so 100 shouldn't be a problem for most people. In this way, each page number would correspond to the rank number in hundreds.

And yes, highlighting the player on the list when you write the player name would be great as well.

Will the new page look more like the old one when you are done with it?
(Does Statistiken mean Statistics?)

i hate this whole color problem ;& i´ll try it Firebug is good for such things

Shows now on Beta 100 per page

the highlight thing would be Ajax need an bit for this ;/

First Page is not from me its from ColaColin he made PAStats.com
and what do you mean look like the old one? i mean it shows exact the same info (without hours) about how many games were played.

Huch wrote there in German sorry fixed that ;&


Edit:/

Its now possible to sort the Tables.

So what do you guys think? how does the new Playerpage look?

Good or bad? some suggestions for improvement?
Lg.

if you want to look at it yourself here is the direct link to Elodeas Profile

Looks awesome.

I agree. Awesome. Much better now. It's much faster than the original as well. Good job!

Edit: We can also choose to show all 1700+ players on the Playerlist and just do a find on the page for any player, which is perfect.

Edit2: And I almost forgot the column sorting! Nice!

One small suggestion is that you might not want to underline the player names and game numbers by default. That underline makes them a little harder to read. On your original pages, you underline upon a mouse over, which is probably the better way to do it for readability.

Thanks

Changed. you´re right its easyer to read

the new beta page looks great, maybe where you have the match number you should have this be the actual match number that player has played rather than going from 1 to 20?

Thanks and done.

You can see on the PlayerPage now the Number of Games each player has played.


Edit:/ Mistook you there argh but yes i´m changing this too ^^
