    I'm working on a mod that queries the PA Stats Ladder and shows the player rank in the lobby. For now it only shows the raw rating score and not the rank, but once Illmaren gets me a way to ask for the rank I'll switch it.

    This might make me want to get my Ladder ranking up. Lol.

    The raw rating will pop up as a tooltip when you mouse over the rank. You will be able to choose the ladder (PA Stats Ladder or Uberskill ladder) in the settings.

    I'm trying not to clutter the UI with mod-related stuff. It makes it harder to see player names and the more I inject into the page, the more I need to fix when the game updates.

    I understand and agree with the principle of not showing too much information and derive from vanilla display, plus it means less maintenance if required after major game updates.

    Yet, I have to ask, could the Wins / Losses / Ratio, if available, be added along the rating, in this mouse-over tooltip ? (basically the same information shown in signatures, like yours)

    I think there are fundamental differences between 2 players like :
    54 mikey 5 4 1 4 2050
    55 Protz 38 21 17 1.24 2049
    They are following each other in the ladder, have almost the same rating, yet they have a different profile.
    I think this kind of info is relevant for the lambda player (which I count myself in)

    Forgot to mention that. Illmaren has that information available and there's no real limit to the space in a tooltip, so I'm sure I can do that.

    Draws are displayed as lost...donĀ“t forget that...so draw games get the ratio down..;)

    Mikey's a smurf. Smurfs will always be a hard thing to show meaningful stats about.

    So signatures are broken, or one is reading PTE and the other isn't?

    I like nice UI additions. This is a nice UI addition.

    Heck, I could see Uber nicking this. It's fundamental in how useful it is in a ranked lobby.

    I think I'd rather see the raw rating and have the rank in a tooltip.

    I guess people should start giving their opinion on rank vs. rating. I can maybe add an option in settings, but I'd rather keep this mod simple and make sure the right number is used.

    Stop being lazy. If you haven't used every framework by the time I get back you're not getting any dinner ;)

    Rank so and Rating trough tooltip is so ok.
    Because there are two ladders one with actual points one without them

    That was a lot of my reasoning behind putting the focus on rank. Right now this only uses Illmaren's ladder, but Yrrep's ladder will be available through settings and doesn't have a rating.
