The Highscore Rankings

[EddyMataGallos]

Damn, didn't think it'd miss that many :P

Yeah go ahead ska, however, I'm assuming you've tried the classical fixes for NReality lag in modern Windows haven't you? If they didn't work, Meta recently posted a fix to use NReality with newer Flash versions, and according to him this worked great on modern OS's unlike the classic fixes:

Thanks... I'll give it a shot...

Hey guys; going to go back to using my new laptop which doesn't run NReality well, and use it to highscore using 1.4. I'm only going to do it though if it's cool with you guys, otherwise I'll probably just retire.

On my current laptop, NReality has always been beset with lagging. However, having audio or video+audio content running in the background always solves the problem. Even if I mute the speakers but keep the media content playing, the game will then always run smoothly.

Yeah, Wolfos.. that's really bizarre... I have heard about that fix before, but it doesn't seem to work for me, unfortunately.

Eddy, got another idea for you to try out. Don't know how long it would take, probably a lot of computing time, so its up to you if it's entirely worthwhile. How about seeing what levels/episodes have had the most unique 0th-holders through our available history? So, this would only count battles as 2 unique holders, since they're just trading the 0th between them.

I suspect that this will be difficult, if not impossible, to get an accurate figure on this, since record keeping pre-2006 is sketchy at best. It would also be when highscoring was rich with activity... Still, I guess it could be interesting to get a number from the data set we do have.

Hence why I said "through our available history". :)

Sorry, my concentration levels have been far from optimal lately.

Interesting stat, programmed it. Here's the output with my current file collection (1028 files): http://pastebin.com/5f5VVdBQ
At the end you have the average number of unique holders (which is around 6) and the processing time it took. It was surprisingly faster than the previous function I did, I guess I'll revise the other algorithm.

Wow, that was really quick for parsing through that much data. Is it possible to output the nicks of people who have held the 0th? Maybe just have that as a function similar to the "display top-20 for a level" type of idea, where it only outputs for a single level/ep instead of all of them (maybe with the score of when they first held the 0th?) Lots of 'maybe's there, guess I wasn't too sure about the feasibility of that idea :P

Also, I was guessing 7-4 would be near the top, since there was a huge flurry of activity on it after ninja_matt's crazy innov with the gold. Maybe that's part of the problem with limited .hs files, we don't have a complete record as that battle/cleaning was going on.

Interestingly enough, I also coded that function, and exactly outputting what you mentioned. In fact, I did that earlier, because I kind of need that for the global function. Here's 99-4 (the most battled, according to our file collection) by using this function:

Code: Select all

Total: 13 unique holders
Elapsed time: 154.442063 seconds

Note the elapsed time is comparable to the global function, which tells me that most of the time is actually taken just by loading the hs files.

Regarding 7-4, yeah if I recall correctly most of the exchanges ocurred the same day, so we probably don't have a single one except for xela's 0th run.

I'm also thinking on implementing these 2 functions, but including all exchages as opposed to just unique holders, just for shits and giggles. Won't be complete of course, but the more information and stats we have, the better.

EDIT: Oh, I forgot, just in case somebody wants to play around with all these recently created functions:

NHighUpdate.rar

(31.17 KiB) Downloaded 275 times

You just have to update both files. Backup your original NHigh files, of course.
Remember, NHigh files must be in a folder called "scores" in your NHigh folder. I haven't implemented a folder selection dialog yet xD
Also, all new functions are inside the "Reports -> Rankings over time" menu.
Anyways, there are way too many changes already, probably worth creating a topic as eru did. I'll design it at some point.

Cool, but I'm 99%% sure that Titan, TWA_MATO_by_Titan and TWA_MATO_Titan are all the same player.

Alright so I did this for a few players, obviously they list will be missing the 0ths that weren't registered in any file, but well. For instance, its apparently missing 8 0ths for eru.

Thanks for the hard work ;)

Comparing your list to mine, I was able to identify the discrepancies. I have missing 0ths probably because they were re-taken too quickly. I'm also credited with 0ths that I didn't count, especially on episodes. That's likely due to a poor reporting on my part, and for levels due to assuming a different list of cheaters.

Extra 0th : (the ones I consider I never held)

Code: Select all

episodes : 25, 26 (I may have hold them. Well, I should trust the data)
levels :
10-3 (Kool got the 156.000 run the day before. He was taking 2 spots on the leaderboards, one at 156.000, and one at 155.975)
17-2 (I was assuming Bonzai to be legit. It was 2008 !)

The ones I was counting (I had 44 levels 0th in total, instead of 43 as reported early : I subtracted line numbers without adding 1):

Code: Select all

episodes : 
01 I did have 01 (because golfkid took it from me)
20 I may have hold it, maybe not for long because of xaelar. Very old run anyway.
58, 75 (misreporting on my part - I surely never held neither 58 nor 75 because of Lim)
levels :
06-2 (maybe taken from Wolfos - or most likely wrongly assuming it was cheated. Anyway, it was a 196.x run with an old route.)
16-0 (quickly lost to xaelar)
39-2 (0ths war with xaelar at first, then macrohenry came to take one of its 1st 0th)
48-3 (0ths war with xaelar, vankusss and maybe even Eddy)
53-3 (lost to darkshadow within hours)
53-4 (assuming L3X not legit and probably lost to xaelar quickly)
60-4 (lost within hours to Izzy, we were on IRC and I got a lucky run out of nowhere)
81-4 (lost to xaelar pretty quickly - 0ths war with him and Analu)
87-2 (assuming crappi is a cheater and lost to xaelar pretty quickly and by 2 fucking seconds)

Overall, I may have add only 74 different episodes instead of 75 as I hold 25 and 26 instead of 20, 58 and 75. And 44 different level 0ths (trading 06-2 for 17-2 then).

Introduction

Hey there guys, here's a new installment of the Rankings. In total, we had 48 different 0ths changing this past month, of which 19 of them were battled for 54 times total, for a grand sum of 85 0th exchanges. We had a bunch of levels being innovated, plenty of big time savers, and many interesting battles.

Highscoring

Let's go through the innovated levels in descending order of time saved. In 44-2, jp developed a new route utilizing the through-the-door trick to grab the exit switch, which I then cleaned for a grand 2.075 net gain. For 75-1, macro conceived a new route to beat the final drone bottleneck, which after 4 exchanges ended up in my hands with a 1.925 net gain. This route, due to the nature of the level, still isn't absent of bottlenecks, but the waiting is now much more brief.

In 62-2, Hendor devised several innovs for the gold and right sections, which jp and then myself capitalized, for a final 1.825 net gain. In 38-4, jp came up with a complete route change which allowed to beat another half cycle of the final drones, which I cleaned for a total 1.700 gain. In 57-4, we first had jp innovating the top part with a faster method, and then, van posting an innovated beginning, which after an exchange with macro I secured with a final 1.300 net gain. In 13-2, ska came up with an innov to beat the drone, which macro then capitalized for a 1.250 gain. For 83-4, jp was again the brains of a complete route change, which I capitalized for a 1.200 secs gain.

ska also innovated 13-3 with a new route, which after 6 exchanges ended up in my hands with a 1.150 net gain. In 12-4, jp came up with an innov to skip the launchpad using a bb double, which I then capitalized, for a 0.800 gain. For 46-0, ska executed an innov at the beginning he had had in mind for some time, which after several exchanges he kept for himself, with a 0.725 gain. For 96-0, jp again came up with a cool corner kick innovation, after which, by applying yet another innov by TRO, I retook for a 0.625 net gain.

In 67-3, a level that was very close to max with its old route, macro devised a complete new route to smash xela's run. I then minimally improved on it for a final 0.575 gain. Finally, lets go through the smaller gains. On 82-1, I did a modification to beat a laser drone, and then the omnipotent jp designed an ending to deal with the laser properly, resulting in a 0.500 net gain. In 62-3, jp, who else, devised a route change in the middle to save some time, which I then consolidated for a 0.475 net gain. Then, in 90-0, jp completely changed the route in such a simple map, which macro and then myself secured for a final 0.375 net gain, note this used to be a framewar.

jp also innovated 14-2, another classic framewar, by doing something that seems so obvious you wouldn't believe nobody did that before. I then secured it for a 0.250 gain. In 39-4, jp was once again the author of a complete route change on the way up, with a faster method which still exudes potential, for a 0.100 gain. For 2-0, I came with an innov adding an rcj at the top part, for another 0.100 gain. Adding Raif's innov to 88-1 ending resulted in a 0.075 gain for me. To finish, macro added a modified ending to 17-2 to nab an extra frame from xaelar.

There were a couple more battles which didn't involve any innov. First we had 18-4, with golf retaking a 0th he held long ago, which then macro recovered and finally I stole. On the other hand we had 11-2, the only level which saw a brief return of van. I grabbed it later only to lose it a little later to macro, its original owner. Finally we had Ep 30, which jp grabbed from me, and I hurried up to put it back in my bag.

Alright, I think that's it. There were many other 0ths, which were taken by sheer cleaning of the current routes. There was also a bit more of episode activity on my part, which finally allowed me to reach 0th in 4/5 of all ep 0ths. Also, I want to take the opportunity to congratulate jp from here, for his astounding innovative ability, which you probably have noticed in the text above.

Finally, I'd like to mention, in case you reader haven't noticed, that Occupy xela movement was a huge success, with xela losing 60% of all his 0ths during this period of time, falling from 20 0ths to a mere 8 0ths! Something that hadn't happened for 7.5 years. In total, 4 people contributed to the movement, including macro, ska, jp and myself. I hope not to see the movement decline in the future. I for one, would like van making a move here.

Another quick thing. We had an N v2.0 highscorer, VotedStraw, come to the game and even take a couple 0ths. The problem though, is that he didn't use NReality, and it was a general consensus in the community to ignore him, based on his 90-3 run, so that's what I did. If you have any problem with this, don't hesitate in discussing it here. Also, if VotedStraw is reading this, and he is a legit player, please download and use NReality to prove yourself legit, ideally improving your 90-3 run with it, or getting close. When done, you'll be reincorporated to the rankings.

On the total score scene, golfkid is approaching Mr_Lim and the chunk of subsequent players after him. Hendor is standing about a minute away, and now that he's all set up in China, maybe we'll be able to see things start to get exciting when the two enter that mess of players in the mid 71.2k's. I'd also like to mention my arrival to the 72.1k mark on the TLS boards.

Conclusion

I'll finish the rankings, as usual, by pointing out the total game score gains. The community gained a total 19.500 secs of Total Level Score, averaging almost an awesome 0.450 secs gained per level, or 18 frames. On the episode territory, the community made an 18.175 sec gain of TES, averaging around 4.550 seconds per episode. For the first time in many rankings updates, we have gained slightly more TLS than TES, hence resulting in an increase of the difference between both, by just 1.325 secs.

Adjustments to the Rankings

When doing the rankings, some adjustments together with the ignoring list must be done in order to have absolutely proper and correct rankings. This extra adjustments are the following:

• Add Last_FairyTail 0ths to xaelar.
• Add van_come_to_irc 0ths to vankusss.
• Take into account that kryX's 25-2 tied 0th is Legit, even though he is ignored because the rest are cheated.

And thats all at the moment!

Thanks for the update Eddy, and for all the complements :)
Its kind of sad that I only gained 1 0th in what has probably been one of my most active months, but at least I'm climbing the top-5 rankings :)

[golf]

Thanks for the mention of my 18-4 amongst all the other pure cleaning 0ths, Eddy.

Thanks for the update Eddy, and for all the complements :)

I think you are the master innovator at the moment, jp. It's not just Eddy who's been complimenting you :) Also, I think its interesting how you're just outside the top 10 in the top5 rankings, but yet aren't anywhere to be seen in the top20 rankings! If you put that kind of time and effort into all 500 levels I think you'd have a pretty good chance of passing xela in total level score. Something to think about :)

Eddy, is there a chance to get a mini-rankings on New Years Day? And maybe make that an annual thing, so we can compare stats on a yearly basis. I know I'm right there for improving 100 levels this year, and would like to get a total score difference for the year as well. Otherwise, thanks for another comprehensive update and Merry Christmas!

[ska]

Excellent summary as always, Eddy! I like that you're very modest about your own achievements, and you take the time to accurately address and summarise all of the contributions of the players that aren't you!

[Izzy]

Really good read there. It's crazy how you all just keep finding even more innovations and route changes, as well as how clean some of those runs are.

[TheRealOne]

Excellent summary as always, Eddy! I like that you're very modest about your own achievements, and you take the time to accurately address and summarise all of the contributions of the players that aren't you!

Yes. It must be tough to remain humble when each line is "Player-X had an innovation, Players-Y&Z cleaned the run and added other innovations, then I took the 0th." lol. Eddy you do a great job with the run down. It is very interesting to read and always so well done. Thank you.

I am astounded the average time saved over that many 0ths was almost half a second. That is ridiculous. Well done everyone.

[EddyMataGallos]

Thanks guys, I'm glad you enjoyed it ^^

@golf I'll try to get that miniupdate done, with some annual stats and facts to compare. Unfortunately though, the closest NHigh file I have is from the 6th January 2013, so it won't be 100% accurate, unless someone can provide a file from last year's New Years Day.

[ToeFaceKiller]

You guys are crazy. And I still have 63-3 yo!

I'm still a little salty that you stole my first 0th from me in half an hour, with a completely new route even! What a welcome to the highscoring community, early lesson that we show no mercy lol
