I am trying to find a way of keeping everybody happy all of the time (well at least when it comes to the arcade)
Alot of forum members simply do not play the arcade as they see that some of the high scores are extremely high and difficult to beat. However I don't want to reset all scores as this will clear the highscores that some people have put alot of work into.
When I started to look into this I noticed that the games have a "Best score of all time" and "Actual Highscore Champion". Now this looks like what I need. However I am not sure how to reset the "Actual" highscore while still keeping the "Best" score, and for obvious reasons I don't want play around with settings just incase I wipe everything by accident.
Can anybody point me in the right direction for these options (if they exist)
note to self: setup a test server
EDIT : Found the solution, just incase anybody is searching the forums in the future:
Goto: AdminCP -> Arcade -> Games List
Filter the list so it shows the games you want to reset, place a check agaisnt each one (last column after "delete")
In the "Functions to execute with selected Games" below, select:
"Reset SCORES"
Click "Start".
So if you game summary original said:
best Score of all Time
UserX
with a score of 151030
actual Highscore Champion
UserX
with a score of 151030
It will now say:
best Score of all Time
UserX
with a score of 33
actual Highscore Champion
- no score -
So that resets the playing field and the best scorer gets to keep the "virtual" kudos
