Great stuff, keep it coming!

[+]

Jizz all over screen !

thats really cool and useful [+]

added the file to the post, no need for one click hosters when you can have a direct download on esr

nice :)

Also, it being integrated into QLPrism would be cool

cool, have a + !

When I install it, it asks the path to the baseq3: it opens a tree-browser where appdata is not visible. I wish I could paste the path somewhere.

If you're on windows I suggest using this for easy access to your QL directory.

Hmm, its because you don't have "Show hidden files, folders and drives" selected in your Windows folder options. I will sort this out for the next version.

do you plan on releasing ladders for other gametypes?

tested it, seems to work..theres one little problem tho

it completely fucks up my config

rail settings, crosshairs, gunx, guny, you name it, everything is changed

hmm can you send me a copy of your autoexec.cfg ?

sure:

dropbox

its more or less noctis' config

Ok, im not sure about this one, I tried your autoexec.cfg and it setup fine on my PC with all of your settings including the QLRanks bind so I don't know whats wrong, can you send me a copy of the autoexec.cfg that messed up your settings?

let me do some more indepth testing on my end and i'll get back to you later today

okay so i was able to restore my original settings

/exec autoexec didnt change anything so i tried my backup config, wich is completely the same,(i checked), and it worked. now autoexec works, too. i checked the autoexec the elo announcer generated in home/baseq3 and it looks normal. the problem is definitely connected to the tool though...

anyway, i couldnt replicate the bug once i had my original settings restored and the tool still works, so i really dont know what went wrong. my autoexec.cfg is stored in quakelive/baseq3 btw, so i dont know if that interferes in any way with the autoexec generated by the tool in quakelive/home/baseq3

Hmm strange, I dno, well as long as its fine now and you cant replicate the bug there's not much else I can do, however if it returns please be sure to backup the autoexec.cfg which did it. ;)

hi szr pls, can u help me. I instal ql elo anonncer and when i find folder http://i57.tinypic.com/5xsj86.jpg it write me Error: wrong folder http://i59.tinypic.com/wuw5.jpg. Dont know why i think im in right folder with cfgs.
Much Thanks Fug4s

Oh My God

SYNCERROR CALL THIS GUY, HE WILL SAVE QUAKE!!!!111!

Very well done

And let's make this a news item instead of hiding it in the forum.

zomg inline img :(

Why?

Because it is news.

What isn't news than?

Old stuff.

So this post is news.

Argumentum e contrario results in a logical fallacy if you ask the wrong question.

If you ask what something isn't you cannot draw a logical conclusion just based on that. If you ask what length an ant isn't, and get the reply "one meter", you cannot draw the conclusion that everything that isn't one meter is an ant.

My post is not "Argumentum e contrario", its "proof by contrapositive".
Obviously my post isn't news, so obviously 'Old' or 'New' isn't the only relative factor. So, maybe you will tell me, why not? And I will say the same reasoning applies to this rogue forum post.

It is argumentum e contrario.
"Old stuff isn't news, that must mean everything that isn't old is news".

If you want to ask what something is, just ask what it is instead of what it isn't.

Are you deaf? I don't want to ask what it is. I'm telling you what it isn't.

"What isn't news than?"

Seems like a question to me.

As for the question if I am deaf, this is in written form and thus my hearing has no relevance.

When doesn't it matter that this is a written from?

This post isn't a question. You are doing it again however, asking what something isn't.

Pretty oddly put question. I suggest you rephrase it.

This post isn't a question.

You are doing it again however, asking what something isn't.

I'd like to think you're just being informative, but since English is not a context free grammar, I take it you don't like negating statements for some unknown reason.

Pretty oddly put question. I suggest you rephrase it.

Thanks for your odd suggestion, but I suggest you learn more latin words before making more suggestions and answer the question.

Why isn't it a question?

For it is the opposite, an answer.

Thanks for your odd suggestion, but I suggest you learn more latin words before making more suggestions and answer the question.

As a law student, I use "e contrario" daily and I am very well aware of its usage. I am even required to study some latin. It is however not a word but a phrase.

"When doesn't it matter that this is a written from?"
I am still not sure what you mean here. Are you asking when the question is from? If that is the case, I suggest you look at the timestamp provided by the site.

Please stop this rape.

...
:D

please continue entertaining me with this pointless banter

I have nothing more to say. Sorry good Sir. You can maybe reread Paladia handling Demiurges ass' to him?

:((

Due to public opinion and your very sad face, I've started to feel sympathy for you and as such decided that enough is enough (for now).

:(((((((((((((((((
First of all, that's just way more sad, because I really like my questions to be answered.
Second, why are you ignoring evidence that public opinion is split between two views?
Third, why are you concerned about public opinion and feelings? Are you admitting you do not care for the establishment of logical validity of your argument?

Could you please answer my questions? I'm asking politely (for now).

:))

For it is the opposite, an answer.

That's not an answer to my question, try again.

As a law student, I use "e contrario" daily and I am very well aware of its usage. I am even required to study some latin. It is however not a word but a phrase.

I didn't say 'word', I said 'words'. Is formal logic a requirement for a law student, or are you mainly learning about persuasion of the unintelligent public through logical fallacies and ignoring evidence? Because you seem not to be aware of what a proof by contrapositive is and its relation to 'e contrario', which is just a single statement of inference, not to mention the significance of the plural case.

I am still not sure what you mean here. Are you asking when the question is from? If that is the case, I suggest you look at the timestamp provided by the site.

Strange, I thought you were aware that English language relies on context. This implies that my question somehow references your statement, which contains "written form". I have words "written from" in my question, where 'from' doesn't even make any grammatical sense. Considering the above, are you simply not intelligent enough to make the correction or are you performing some sort of an intellectually dishonest trick?

badass, keep up.

edit: ah windows only :(
care to upload pk3's & share some manual installation tips? :>

pk3s? here is what it does:

bind P "clear; players; wait 100; condump condump.txt; bind P "exec qlr.cfg"; print ^2Wait until you hear the sound then press ^7'P' ^2again to display the response."

so from my understanding it uses the player list command and condump to extract the names of all players on the server into a text file. then the programm reads out the names, fetches their elo score and writes them into an echo command into the clr.cfg that you exec the next time you press the hotkey.

cool :o

brb making item timer :p

Noob, till now you must time pretty well. After all, how many years does it take? xD

indeed, i tried it out yesterday after i realized how it works and it took me 20 lines of code and 30 mins. and im really not a good programmer this is basic stuff :/

This was possible since ever, just play a 35sec wav when picking up MH.

/blau

sure, but thats different. just having times for ra and mh displayed as chat is way more convenient and gives more information. well there are real timing hacks around for ql since forever so it doesnt really matter, whoever wants to cheat, can do it.

inchat spawn timers are useless in quake, because of 25 and 35 second cycles... for armours it gives you 8 times till the cycle if full, and there is always possibility to delay armour...

20/30 spawn from ET was however perfect for such stuff :-)

i have no idea what you are talking about but i doubt that you understood what i meant ;)

i rarely have a clue what im talking about, that makes me decent troll... however this time i idd misunderstood you....

was sure you're talking about timer config, using only cvars to show item spawn time in chat... in such case you manually imput time when u picked item up, using numpad, and you see in chat when are the next spawn times

using only cvars to show item spawn time in chat

i was talking about using the same process as this elo ingame announcer to display item times. so with a combination of ql cvars and a third party tool altering the text in a config, without manual input

How did you bring the content of a configfile to the screen?

print "^1xx ^4xx"

is the content of the file i exec

sry, wrong question :)
How do you do that without manual input, so w/o hitting a key?
After you changed the cfg file externally, how do you trigger its exec?

oh that was unprecise, i mean manual input of the time, you still have to bind a key that you press when you pickup the item (pickups dont appear in the console automatically) and you have to bind the exec command somewhere aswell (though you could just use something you press a lot anyway)

I know, but that would be cheating, as u use external program to improve yours gameplay

you're funny guy

yes

and i will state the obv here: i am not using it. was just having fun trying it out as a proof of concept or whatever you wanna call it. its really disheartening though that anyone with really really basic knowledge of programming could write a "hack" like that in less than an hour

hey,

I do not need to state that I am not using it: look at my elo :-)

But again, first time I tried that was with q2, so not really any news there.

sad part idd

I'll report you, if you gonna win vs me in bundesliga :P

what did you think is going on right now? :/ we don't have an anticheat running of any sort, this kind of stuff has been possible for months.

well there are real timing hacks around for ql since forever so it doesnt really matter, whoever wants to cheat, can do it.

ok, ty.

Yes, if it's not written in .NET or something Windows-specific a console version for other platforms could be cool. As I see it, the GUI is just a nice way to cfg the program.

Also, having the source code would make me worry a bit less about viruses and shit.

Wondering how it detects that condump.txt has changed. Polling or filesystem hook?

I made it for windows because that's what most people use, I can send you the source then you can create a Linux version if you want :P but I don't think I will be making one.

i'd appreciate that :)

I write elo ranks for CA,DUEL,TDM in c# with silent mode on 64-bit. this a linux version. Program is placed under this address:
http://mg.ftp.sh/~ponczek/
run in ~/.quakelive/quakelive/home/baseq3
There is test version :) hf :)

You may want to try http://78.47.168.130/qlcfg

You need to adjust some path, ie the sound file, and may put something in place which increases your max_user_watches (thats the increasewatches script.

/blau

Elegance :)

:-0
Its shell code, write once, never read it.

/blau

Yeah, but it's well written and simple. Never knew about inotify :)

nice :) how about a match making system? :P

and what? force players to play all maps? YOU FOOOOOOOL!!

[+] qlranks/tdm doesnt seem to work tho.

the best is on top, the others isnt, seems to work fine to me

nice work ! cant wait for tdm/ctf/ca support as well ;)

I don't know if it binds it automatically to p if you dont have autoexec but you have to bind a key to this if you use autoexec:


bind P "clear; players; wait 100; condump condump.txt; bind P "exec qlr.cfg"; print ^2Wait until you hear the sound then press ^7'P' ^2again to display the response."


Which I got above off nukm. Shouldn't there be a readme with it explaining that :D?

No, its 100% automatic, even if you don't have autoexec.cfg it will create it for you with whatever bind you choose.

Great work szr! Very useful tool against stupid noob hunters :)

Great work!

hmm, can't get this to work. :( Error: No players found in condump.
And in the console: couldn't exec qlr.cfg

Just restart your game it should work, can you send me the bugged condump?

Sure, but there isn't much information in it. Restarting QL and the program didn't help. But i have the same problem like this guy in the QL forums. Maybe this has something to do with it?
http://www.quakelive.com/forum/showthread.php...ation-path
Condump: http://www.mediafire.com/?en7t1frte6wr488

Hehe, no its nothing to do with "Accentuated characters in Quake Live installation path".

This is happening because you have con_timestamps, for now just use con_timestamps 0 as a temporary fix. The next version will include a fix for this and I will probably release it tomorrow.

Cool, thanks. That was easier than expected. ;)

what an ugly hack. I wonder how people enjoyed dueling in qw/q2/q3/q4 without all those numbers and stuff.

both true, but its still useful

I just hate that id wont take that little effort to help those guys out to integrate qlranks in QL. Could make thousands of paying customers happy that way.

Irc, people would hang around specific servers, local communities, blaablaablaa.

It doesn't save "show elo to others" setting for me (it's always on after restarting the app)
Second thing is that when /players command doesn't work in default 100 ms time there is "no players" popup and you need to minimize ql and click it manually. (in my case /players failed because of huge lag)

Other than that - great job, thanks.

Nice stuff.

It would be useful to be able to use 2 binds: one to keep the result to ourself, one to show it to others players. Both can be used in different situations, so it would be great to chose on or the other without reconfiguring the program.

If anyone wants it here is QL Ranks script made by szr and syncore to integrate QLRanks with quakelive page. I added minor changes to display player's ELO in his profile in imho better way.

szr & syncore: if you like this enhancement, feel free to get it into official version for more users. I intentionally left there old code that shall be removed.

Attached Misc File: 84759-qlrankscom_display.user.js (25KB)

Looks good, however you will have to talk to wn to see if he will make it official because hes in charge of the script now hehe ;)

Awesome man, you're definitely helping QL :)

oh boy, this is big news isn't it! gratz szr xD

Mirror #3: fuxxored filename, can't add it on ESR.

added it as misc file again and it seems to work fine

That was a mirror to another website, with brackets in URL.

QL is saved!!

I, too, am sick of all these numbers determining fun BUT it is still helpful to see how good players are granting they have played enough and their ELO rating is appropriate.

Btw: can you make it so that you can copy/paste the url of the baseq3 folder in the setup file?

C:\Users\Kevin Mischker\AppData\LocalLow\id Software\quakelive\baseq3

kinda like that? so I dont have to look it up myself. it takes ages to click through all the folders.

Untill what you request gets implemented, you could make a shortcut to the quakelive folder, and place it wherever the program's browsing start, to ease the problem.

Mischker? are u some kinda hitler or what

Mischker is a Surname - a pretty rare one. It is derived from Russian i.e. "mischka" I think and means teddy bear of some sort. some can back that up?

Sure m8, wiki for the rescue http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Misha but i don't think it is the origin of your surname

too bad elo is useless outside of duel

There is Quake life outside of duel???

CA is probably just as active if not more than duel is imo. I dont see why its being left out.

yeah.................ctf has always been the best gametype imho. but like i've said before its completely dead in NA. the flags should be put on display in the museum of natural history.

dunno if i'm the only one, but every time i uncheck the "display ELO to everyone on the server", as soon as I minimize the window the tick beside the option is back.

any suggestions?

this works in wine if you create a dummy quakelive.dll in your home/baseq3 folder, thx szr for pointing this out.

finally something usefull

great stuff man

thanks!

If the script could take all the player ELO's and shuffle them respectively, and then post this into the game for players to manually perform this would be v useful in pickups/(maybe even) pub games.

Never say goodbye.

We need ctf elo :)

yea , !

2014?

Think there needs to be tutorial for when it just chooses not to work Xd

It says ive chosen the worn baseq3 folder but i try them both none work, any help?

yeah same for me

Also , use the ExtraQL version from:

http://sourceforge.net/projects/extraql/

C:\Users\YOURNAME\AppData\LocalLow\id Software\quakelive\home\baseq3

thats the folder. If it doesnt work right away when you restart quake, bring down the console and type "/web_reload" without the quotes.

Sometimes it takes more than one web_reload in order to get it to load hook.js
