The Highscore Rankings

[ska]

Just thought I should point out that I believe 11 0ths is my lowest 0th tally since July 16, 2007, which was more than seven years ago!

[MiBeM]

Incidentally, July 16, 2007 was my 11th birthday. Damn, that was a long time ago :P

Couple suggestions as I'm looking through this again for the 10 millionth time in the last couple days... First, think about adding Knu to the total 0ths rankings. I know you dropped everybody on 59-0 where that was their only 0th, but he is on the top of the list so I think he deserves some credit.

Second, there's something just a tad outdated in your post that should be fixed for the next rankings. See if you can spot the problem :)

0th Changes by Player since last Update (12th October, 2012)

Otherwise, very solid report as always and it looks like there's a bit of competition coming back :)

[EddyMataGallos]

Whops, forgot to change that from the basic model I use :P Fixed.

I also like that Knu suggestion, consider him added from now on ;) Chronologically he will also be the first on the list.

hey all, long time no see. Stumbled upon this forum during a bored moment at work! Can't believe there is still so much competition going on!

I'm just interested ... what level is my remaining 0th on? How safe is it?......

[ska]

Not really, I'm just playing; but this might not be a joke after a few hours...

75-0 Thanks to the N wikia page... (I can't get python running on Windows 8)

Well, I'm not sure there's a whole lot of competition; mostly its Eddy taking 0ths, and macro will sometimes take a few as well. Otherwise, its mostly me trying to improve my total level score, and pass the whole grouping of Lim/lat/eru. Hendor has come back in the last month or so, and has been picking highscores back up to tie me at 598, and he just passed 71k TLS last night. You should make a comeback and join the 71k club! We even have cookies :)

I've poisoned one of the cookies, but I'm not saying which one it was.

Getting a little jealous, are we?

[ska]

I could be ricin to the occasion if I so desired.

[zapkt]

Hey there!

I recall that zapkt consistently made new hs files on a regular basis back when he was active. If someone can get in touch with him and presuming he still has a copy of them (by no means a certainty) you may be able to get some more of the older files.

I have more than 500 .hs stored somewhere on my HDD. Do you still want those?

Damn, am I still on those charts ? :D That's incredible.

I seem to have missed the release of N v2... Finally, after all those years! \o/

Hell yes, we do! That would really enrich our collection, plus there are many gaps/lacunas in the rankings through the years which would be cool to fill with more NHigh files.

By the way, nice to see you here. You should do like Hendor and do a comeback, take some top20s and stuff.

[ska]

I don't know what's crazier; that zapkt has come back from the blue, or Eddy knows an English word that I have never heard before. (lacuna, meaning an unfilled space or interval; a gap.)

[Wolfos]

Hey there!

Hi! Good to see your name on here again. Must have been a while since both of us last checked in the same week.

[Hendor]

zapkt! Hey man, nice to see you. Another old timer returns.

I would also love to see some old NHigh save files if you have them.

[EddyMataGallos]

I don't know what's crazier; that zapkt has come back from the blue, or Eddy knows an English word that I have never heard before. (lacuna, meaning an unfilled space or interval; a gap.)

Heh, I know it because of the spanish version (laguna), seems like its not a common word in english :P

Anyway, agreed it has to have been long since Wolfos and zapkt coincided on the forums, damn. Interestingly, I recently contacted clux via Twitter. Whats next, johnny making a quick comeback?

Great to hear from you zapkt. Always love a visit from the old timers. And Yes we would love to have those files if you could find them. Eddy and Eru have done a lot of work with nHigh as well so a lot more cool rankings and information can be extracted from those files.

I'd like to hear from xaelar and maybe get to see a few 0ths out of him, which I think is far more likely than Johnny ever showing up.

Hey there!

Hey bro! It's so strange hearing from you past legendary highscorers, Zapkt, Hendor and Wolfos for me - once just mysterious players who's runs i watch on the highscoring boards.

Hell yes, we do! That would really enrich our collection, plus there are many gaps/lacunas in the rankings through the years which would be cool to fill with more NHigh files.

Is there an official topic with all the highscoring records?

I don't think we have one place where they all live, I started the trend of attaching the .hs file to each rankings I did and Eddy continued it when he picked up the rankings. So on each rankings there should be a file. I believe I also uploaded my whole collection at one point for ska and Eddy. I believe this is the .rar of them.

There's not, but I did compile a collection by gathering all of TRO's, ska's and myself files. The one TRO posted above is only his pack.

That was almost 2 years ago though, so I just recompiled it for you :P I only adds the new files from 2013 and 2014 I downloaded though, so if anyone has new files (or old files that aren't yet on the collection, *cough* zapkt *cough*), I'm sure stat lovers like me would be really grateful if they shared them. Anyway, here you go:

https://mega.co.nz/#!VAg3wDia!sWZwZ1Jwi ... ocsMQ7235I

Code: Select all

Files by year:
2006 - 3
2007 - 5
2008 - 6
2009 - 8
2010 - 93
2011 - 61
2012 - 48
2013 - 13
2014 - 41
Total: 278

As you can see, 2013 is lacking files compared to the rest of recent years, mainly because it only includes my files and as you know I was pretty absent during 2013. So files from this year would be very appreciated too. And definitely, definitely, files from the old days (06-09) would be greatly appreciated.

What about macro btw? Don't you have an NHigh file collection too?

Mwhaha!
You will be glad to learn that I have:
- 253 files for 2006 (250 different days)
- 280 files for 2007
They stop suddenly on december 29th, and I wonder why I stopped keeping them after that date (did I stop playing precisely for the new year ?)

So I did a bit of sorting and renaming so that they're easier to handle (I had a strange naming scheme including french month names), and here they are. The total is quite big (180 MB), so I made a torrent file (please keep seeding after downloading).

I hope someone will make some graphs with all those data :D

Edit: damn, I can't upload a simple .torrent file here.

Wow, that is brutal! Awesome man, that's a lot of info, and precisely from the 2 years we were missing the most (and when there were more changes), thanks man :D I'll seed for as long as my computer is on.

I've thought on doing some kind of program/modification to NHigh to collate several files and elaborate graphs, but this will just be some fantasy until I finally get to it (not sure how/when I'll be able to).

[TheRealOne]

Well I know what I am going to be doing for the next two hours... Oh the history!

[Hendor]

All this history got to me... I finally put some work in on a project I've been meaning to do. I made a full, more formal thread, but here are the end results: 0th and Top-20.

Anyone want to help me make them better? It would amount to loading NHigh saves, checking scorers totals, recording them in Excel and then repeating, hundreds of times.

[ska]

This is obviously awesome; however, even when I renamed the .zip extension to .torrent, my torrent client wouldn't let me open it.
It said:


Edit: I'm a dummy! I didn't realise I needed to extract the zip's contents first. I thought you were implementing the old fake extension trick... which is funny, because back in the day it was the zip extension that was usually banned, and fake extensions needed to be used; i.e. "notazip"... anyway... nice work!

Edit 2: there appears to be no seeders, so can someone else put them on mediafire or some shit? cheers.
