Hi Riq,

The ranking is not working properly on "sevens".

point1
ive set "sevens" on the server to rank in ascending order so the lowest score has the highest ranking, but when i retrieve data from the server, the lower score shows up with a higher ranking number- the lowest score should have ranking 1.

point2;

if there are multiple users each with the same score are submitted they show up as equal ranking (as you'd expect) but when a different score is added, the assigned rank value does not follow sequentially. ie, 9 scores submitted with different name so you get rank1 for each user. adding another (different) score results in rank10 - this should be rank2

any help - -thanks
Nigel

Min: 0

Hi hanburyn,

If your game is using ascending order, then your max score is 0 and your min score is 500.000.

so what do i need to do? can the max/min be swapped?

what about the non-sequential numbering?

thanks

I can edit your rankings again, but to do so, I need that you delete all your scores.

regarding the non-sequentail numbering, I think that you are triggering the '2 transactions' bug. Please, search this forum. This bug was discussed in another thread.

yes, you need to delete them using the "edit scores" option.

Hi Riq,

Will it be a big job for you to remove the rogue entry in sevens?

Thanks
Nigel

just give a few hours.

done.
now it's possible to delete scores that has "issues".

I've already deleted that score for you, and I've switched the mix/max values in Rankings.
But I was wrong... since the Ranking is already created, the values that I've changed will have not effect.

I think that you should delete your game and create a new one (with the same name if you want).

Once the game is created, let me know and I will enable rankings for it.

Hi Riq,

sevens is re-created. If you could now enable ranking with max score is 0 and min score is 500.000.

Thanks

Hi Riq, are you a collective? I see no way possible that you have enough time to do all the stuff you do..

did you clone yourself before starting cocos2d?

just asking? ;)

Riq,

The ranking is still incorrect. lowest value score still has a higher ranking value. The list displays correctly in ascending order but the rank does not. ie, i need the lowest score to have ranking of 1.

ouch, it's bug :-(
I'll look at it.

and the ranking is still not sequential ie 4 2 2 1

Posted 2 years ago #

it's not sequential because position "3" is a tie.

2 entries have an score of 130... that's a tie. so they share the 2nd place. so the next score won't have position 3, but 4.

Hi Riq

Any idea as to when this bug will be fixed? Sorry to be a pain, but the update to my game is virtually done and im looking to release very soon. On a side note - when i submit my game, do i have to state any encryption usage?

Thanks
Nigel

hi hanburyn,

I'll look at this bug, but I don't think I'll be able to look at it during this week.

Could you open an issue here:
http://code.google.com/p/cocoslive/issues/list ?

thanks.

Thanks

No (as far as CocosLive is concerned).

I can't release the global scoreboard update without it.

Thanks

If ranking is turned off - will the score positions be in the correct order? as apposed to how they are now?

I need to get this update shipped so if the score positions will be in correct order then can you turn ranking off pls.

Nigel

Actually, don't turn ranking off. I can frig the data on the iphone side of things. Not ideal...

I'll order the data into descending order and have it ranked that way. Will you need to redo the max/min values?

Nigel

Yes, I think that if I disable the scores, the positions will be ok (no rankings).

If you keep using rankings, I prefer not to touch anything from it, because if you swap the max/min values, I think that you will need to delete all your scores.

can you turn ranking off - I can check to see if positions ok.

thanks
