Forum Tournaments & Ladders

[rase2]

Still having the same problem even with the update, the progress button does nothing in tournaments. And in fact, now that I look, there's no regress player button.

[DoDe]

Hi,

First of all... Great mod.
Secondly I have two questions:

1. Is there a possibility to add a game/category icon or it will be implemented in the future version because I don't see any options to do it.

2. Is there a possibility for players/teams in the tournament to submit the score or to confirm who won the match same like in the ladder? I see that only the admin has the possibility to put the player/team to the next round.

Thank you

[vash911]

Upgrades, so far so good. I noticed Tournaments Won, and Tournaments joined in the posbit. Is there a way to get Wins/Losses also?

Nope, they are stored in extra fields of user table, win loss data isn't

1. yes possibly

2. the way that single elimination is currently set up means that this isn't possible. In the future i might change it somehow to make this possible.

Thanks for quick answer.
I hope to see the second answer implemented soon.

ah thank you for the help, i assumed it had been extracted with the rest. thanks

[s8glive]

bug found when i go to delete a tournement it says deleting but it never deletes it.

[bananalive]

bug found when i go to delete a tournement it says deleting but it never deletes it.

weird i just tested it and it deleted fine for me. Can you still view tournament?

[s8glive]

yeah it says its deleted but i can still see it and its still joinable and everything

[DoDe]

In addition to submit the score and to accept it byt the opponent team, I find interesting to add an option to choose a country flag for the team.

Regards!

[H3C x Nevz]

I have 2.8.3, yet it stilll stretches out the board on some screens. The full VBEditor along with the letters on the Teams List (A, B, C) slightly stretch in out. Thank you for the great mod, that's the only real problem I have with it. I'd also love to see the feature where participating teams can report a win.

[Gleedo]

Is it ok to upgrade from 2.74 to the current version?

[Booyakan]

is there an easy way to add code myself to make members have a minimum post count to enter a tournament? or if not, if it could be added i could send a small donation if it's not a big task.

[vash911]

Thanks banana that was a great help.

[H3C x Nevz]

It won't allow me to add a ladder. After I fill in all the fields, it just returns you to the ladders page.

I've verified that it works with v2.8.4. upgrade and then test if it works.

[peleh]

Hi, how do i upgrade?

I uploaded the files via ftp(overright), and imported the xml, but didn't went well...

I'm running a translated v2.8.3 to "Português-BR" that i changed myself, when i change the language part of the new file, the left menu side becomes empty, does the new language part inside the xml file contain new or changed variables?

[H3C x Nevz]

Thank you so much for your dedication to this mod. It really works amazingly. I'd definitely like to see a double-elimination tournament set up for the future, and the My Teams page sounds good too.

[uprentiss]

yo i click tourney thread n it says this

country, you do not have permission to access this page. This could be due to one of several reasons:

1. Your user account may not have sufficient privileges to access this page. Are you trying to edit someone else's post, access administrative features or some other privileged system?
2. If you are trying to post, the administrator may have disabled your account, or it may be awaiting activation.

wtf i own the site

Did you get an error?

If you get the error 'No file uploaded or selected', then try again.

No there are no new phrases.

Check forum which you have selected in Tournament & Ladder Options.


Then check your usergroup permissions for viewing that forum.

Also check if you browse through forums whether you can access thread/ forum.

[Gamelobby]

I'm not sure if it is supposed to work this way or not, but i never noticed until now that on the team pages there is a place to put your team website, but it links to.. www.domain.com/forum/www.clansite.com

Am i supposed to put a social group linik in there instead of an actual clan website, or is there something wrong.?
Also what is "Team Gamertag"..?



PS. is there an easy way to change the skin for the tourney (competition.php) section.

Thanks

Add http:// to url when editing team so http://www.clansite.com

Some user requested team gamertag

there is currently no way to force style for mod

[bjkinzluvr]

Downloaded your file today. Uploaded all files. Installed product. Have set all options. Have NO links anywhere on my forum to even access this. Nothing in navbar. No link in Quick Links. No navigation. How do I use it?

BTW, I run vBulletin 3.8.2. PHP is 4.4.1. Is that ok?

It should be fine with php 4

[jojo77]

when I comment in a tournament, the avatar that display is too large for it's comment. It over overlaps the comment next to it.

I'm trying to keep all avatars a certain with but I can't find where to add the cod "width=60" in the tournaments.php.

[jojo77]

also on the ladders page is there a way to default having all the rows expanded so you can see everyone's avatars and info?

[robdawg]

I am having a problem adding a tournament. Here is the error that I am getting:

PHP Fatal error: Call to undefined function cal_days_in_month() in /home/XXXX/XXXX.com_new/forum/tournaments.php on line 921

Nevermind, had to rebuild PHP with the Calendar attribute enabled.

[robdawg]

Is there a way for me to auto assign people into a tournament without those people having to click join?

EDIT

NEVERMIND! Just took a little more playing around! DOH!

[robdawg]

Okay I search this thread for awhile and I finally have a legit QUESTION!

Is there a way to display a users avatar inside the bracket?

Thanks.

[robdawg]

I just need to figure out how to get all this stuff "configurable" and then it should be golden. Hardcoding is so yesterday...

[Gleedo]

Could displaying the avatar inside the brackets be a config option? Looks good :)

[robdawg]

Yes it could, just need to make sure the bracket display is dynamic enough to handle an avatar.

[Big-Pete]

[nda n9ne 9]

i have installed this but i cannot see it on my forum how do i find it

[aztecboi2003]

robdawg how did you make the people advance in the tournament? I like this mod but I need it to be able to allow other users to vote on who advances. That would be sweet.

[Gamelobby]

What do you do with old closed tournaments.?
I mean onviously we can just delete them, but i was wondering what others do.. Do you just delete them or just close them & keep the current stuff stickied.?

Would be great if we could have an archieve.. or something like the opposite of "seperated sticky" posts, only stickied on the bottom instead of stickied to the top.

[adc-arab]

great mod nice work i love it installed :)

i'm still working on *configing* it before making it available to members i got this error when i try to delete member of a team but still seems fine the member got deleted but dunno why this error appeared

Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in [path]/includes/functions_tal.php on line 150

P.S: also there are words doesn't have phrases lang like " Team Statistics" i got to hard translate it from the mod

still this is one of the greatest mods gonna use as a mean feature for my forum

thank you bananalive ^^

[jaryx]

Thank you bananalive. I use almost all of your mods.

Is it or can you do a mod for vBadvanced?
For example: mod which will display the first 5 places in ladder (Ladder Leaders) or Last Scores etc.

[robdawg]

robdawg how did you make the people advance in the tournament? I like this mod but I need it to be able to allow other users to vote on who advances. That would be sweet.

What we normally do for our brackets is create a poll in the forum and whoever wins the poll, we just push the advance button feature that already comes with this mod.

There is no dynamic plugin to auto advance people based off of a vote. Would be nice addition but that would be a decent amount of work for someone... :)

[robdawg]

It could, but I am lazy right now and just don't have the time to set that up.

Maybe the original developer will adopt the idea. :) (hint, hint)

You could create a category called 'Archive' or 'Archived Tournaments'

The member's team info way not in an array. Don't worry, it won't have affected anything.

And i am gradually finding the remaining hard coded text and making it into phrases.

[bananalive]

Thank you bananalive. I use almost all of your mods.

For example: mod which will display the first 5 places in ladder (Ladder Leaders) or Last Scores etc.

I haven't and I don't think anyone has done one and released it. But if you go to vBadvanced website then there is a really simple tutorial to follow to create a custom module.

[s8glive]

i have a suggestion what about having a little forum built into the tourney system just for everything tourney related for convience.

[evotion]

I noticed EliteLadders.com (http://www.eliteladders.com) now has full VBulletin integration with full migration of existing users over to their script.

Has anyone tried migrating this products information over our of interest as I'd like to mkae the jump now rather than waiting until all my tourneys are over?

[Gamelobby]

You could create a category called 'Archive' or 'Archived Tournaments'I noticed that there was an option to select a category, but have yet to find where we add/edit categories..?

VERY INTERESTING.!

[bananalive]

There are three ways to Create New Categories:


In left navigation menu under Admin
Or under New in top navigation
Manage Categories (competitions.php?do=categories) then at bottom click New Category

Is there a way to make a ladder private, or so that only the Administrator or someone with the permission can keep a ladder upgraded?

I need it so that only my staff can upgrade certain ladders to keep the integrity intact.

If you close a ladder then you/ your staff could use 'Admin Add Challenge' and then 'Admin Insert Score' to manage ladder.

no, i have also bought a new skin a few weeks ago, but the problem is the same. i have also upgrade the version from 2.8.0 to 2.8.4...

[Shadawg]

Got an idea for future addons, will help alot and cut work load down for everyone, An auto pm as soon as the tournament starts to everyone on the tournament, after 3 days the user gets a reminder, after 7 days the user gets disqualified, i noticed all this on the IBpArcade im using, and thought hell this would be awesome if the tournaments and ladders did this..... Im sure you can look at the coding on there and figure it out.....

[john102774]

This hack just keeps on getting better and better.

Out of curiousity, is there a way for competitors to add a score similar to that of a tennis Match and have that score shown on the ladder? ex. 6-4 7-5 6-1

And/or the Tournament brackets right under their name?

[OttawaGolf]

Would it be possible to allow admins to edit a ladder match score?
I am having a few requests to fix errors in score entries.

[Brathamike]

i dont understand this. I get the tournament concept but whats it for? What does a user have to do to win the tournament? post, creat a post, or/and upload a picture? i just dont get it? i installed it and have 5 members. So now what the members do to advance to the next round?

waiting on ur reply

great mod though i just dont get the whole concept

[P.Jackson]

An admin has to advances them to the next round at the moment, i think a user report win is being worked on

[peleh]

The calculator shows:

A-1000 Vs B-1000 (A wins) -> A-1012 Vs B-987 So far so good.

But when i try this on the ladder, it goes:

A-1000 Vs B-1000 ( A wins)> -> A-1003 Vs B-997.

Is this ok? The value os "K" is 50.

[Brathamike]

Ahh yes i noticed that while i was playing with this. This mod would be the best of the
best mods if you could

1. make it were when a user post or do given activity through out the site will advance
the user to the next round

or even set it up like the points system

[Sam Wiltshire]

Thanks :)

[Gamelobby]

One thing id like to throw out there for future releases..

Making it mandatory to have some of thier info on their profile filled out. so when someone tries to join, they have to have certain things filled out.

AIM
MSN
PSN
Xbox
etc..

And be able to set those things for each tournament.!!
I'm finding it hard to get people to stay on top of their matches, and to get a hold of them.

I have to award forfeits in every round, which means only about half of the people that registered are actually playing.

Mike.. most people use this mod for video games, so the actual matches or game is played on Xbox or Playstation or wherever.

This mod isn't the game, it is just used to keep track of the scores, & ranks, etc.

It can be used for anything you want, but you have to set it up to work for whatever it is that you are doing.
I have seen people use it for many different things. Robdog, just did it for a hot girl contest, so it is open to use for any kind of competition you want.

I think that is what you were asking. :)

[aztecboi2003]

I'd like the ability to have numbers appear next to the users names in the tournament. So we could seed the teams 1-16. Similar to how the NCAA Brackets are. Not sure if it already has this or not, but it would be a great feature. IMO.

This is an excellent mod for what all it does... Unfortunately, it is not quite what I am looking for. I'm looking for something that will allow single player games... for instance Classic Arcade games and pinball tables.

I just need something that will allow a person to join the tournament, submit their high score along with a screen shot attachment. They also need to be able to update their score up to a specified cut off time/date. The system would then rank a person based on their submitted score.

Anyone know if such a system exists?

Is there a way to edit the users name in the ladder section? I had a dummy join as 1 name and then 2 days later he changed to another name. Now his record is attached to his old name. It shows his userid but the name is still the older one.

I've altered code in attached file so that the username is collated against user table.

Here's the latest files (same as i run on my server)

no way...the issue it's not solved... how can i do for advance a player manually?

[hyperspin]

Where do they play the Arcade, or Pinball game.?
At an arcade.? (real life, not computer or game system.?)
Or is it something installed on your site.?We play on our own arcade cabinets and pinball machines....

Most people use emulated via MAME on computers, but several have real arcade and pinball machines. We just require them to post their high score along with an image or screen shot. It is really just an honor system that we play on, but I would like to have something more automated like this tournament/ladder system. We have found a way to use the ladder system, but using the ladder it doesn't allow for people to play whenever they want and update their score.

[Gamelobby]

Very cool.!
Just have them make posts with score & picture, and you update the ladder to reflect. :)

Make a ladder for each game, & the ladder will keep track of each game.
If that will work.


*edit*
I meant LMS tourney not Ladder.

[aztecboi2003]

Is there any way to have the field of 64 appear like the attached image and not like the way it is on your site demo?

[Gamelobby]

No that is 4 seperate bracket tournaments.. That would be very cool, but no it cant do that.
You could just set up 4 seperate single elimination brackets then take the winner of each into a 4 man single elim bracket.

i think the problem is in template... ?

Is there a way to remove a Ladder match once it has taken place.

I have Guy A at 0-1
and
Guy B is at 1-0

The person in charge of the ladder made and error and Guy A is supposed to be at
1-0

I went to rectify the situation and it seems the only way I can is by removing both players and then putting them in again. Is there any way for an admin to remove a game once it has taken place and been submitted?

[Gamelobby]

Is it a Ladder.?
I dont think so.. but I'm not sure how the ladder works, i dont use it.


If it a single elimination bracket.? then Yes.
You hit the red x to regress the player, & hit the button to progress a player.

Wrong information cannot be corrected with ladders as there is no way to work out the old elo rating.

[Stifmeister2]

Hey bananalive,

I currently have version 2.6.9 installed. I thought about upgrading.. From what I understood, tournaments and ladders are now two separate things?? How do I upgrade?? Simply upload new files and import the product file (with allow overwrite of course)??

And I don't lose any data (especially ongoing tournaments)?

The reason why I want to upgrade is that when you edit team's name, it doesn't change the name in that tournament bracket/tree. I wonder if that is fixed in the newest release?

I wonder if that is fixed in the newest release?Tournaments and ladders have always been seperate. There is however added options to disable each individually for forum admins who only require part of the script.

Upgrading is simple, just upload all files, over-writing ones on your server. Then import product file, again allowing overwrite. Then check vBulletin Options -> tournament & Ladder Settings and Usergroup Permissions.

No data will be deleted during upgrade process.

I've looked at the source and both types of tournament now display team name changes.

I mean tourneys and ladders are on two separate pages, in my 2.6.9 version they're all under tournaments.php. ;)

If I create a tournament, they have to be members of my site? I have some people I'd like to have in the tourney but there not members.

This an amazing addon. I really appreciate all your hard work on this! It is working well with my forums. Just need something to manage my clan members and wars now.

[Gamelobby]

Whats the point if they are not members.?
They can just cheat & play/enter multiple times to different tournaments & you would never know who is who.
Without registering it is pointless to bother.

Why would want to let people play in your tournaments, who are not willing to register on your site.?

If you're talking about a team vs team situation than the whole team doesn't have to register.. just someone to report.

Im going to use this mod the way Robdawg does. By having my members vote on babes/women. Then I would advance the winners. Some of these ladies are members of my site and some are members of a rival site. They prefer that site over mine, so they won't join my site.

[Gamelobby]

I see.. well maybe you just make dummy accounts for them.?
But that seems like a bad idea to me, never going to win over the competition by doing that. lol

[theforumplace]

Installed.

Thanks.

[tjhanes]

I just installed this and love it! Its taking the place of a previous ladder system i was using. My question is this. As an admin, i want to manually add members to a ladder and rank them manually as well, so i can migrate from my old ladder to this one.

However, i don't see where i can do either of these things....add members to a ladder and change current ladder users ranks.

Thanx in advance, and again its a wonderful mod!

[aztecboi2003]

Any timetable of when a newer version will roll out? Thats all I'm waiting for before I install this mod.

[tjhanes]

I run a golfing ladder, so the highest score doesnt win...the lowest does. Can someone give me some direction as how to change that functionality? is it possible?

Also want to repeat a previous question. Is there any way to manually add players to a ladder as an admin? and secondly a way to reorder/rerank players as the admin?

Thanx.

Is there an error with the Elo Calculator?

I have a guy who is 3-0 he didn't get to #1.

He fought someone who is 2-0 and is now 3-1 and he has dropped down to 25 he is actually now behind someone who is 0-3. In addition it says his longest winning streak is 4, when in reality its 3 since he is 3-1.

That seems off.

[biglamb]

I have a few suggestions, I love this mod and I see great potential with it.

The admin should be allowed to decide what score each player on a specific ladder starts with. In other words instead of starting with 1000 points maybe I want them to start with a big goose egg.

I also like the idea posted earlier about a manual ranking style or a possible vote ranking style maybe based off ip address or user or something of that nature. Anyway, keep up the good work.

You (the admin) will advance players to next round, hence you have the power... And there are no "scores" in this mod.

[tjhanes]

Yes, see that applying to a tournament. But what about a ladder....being able to manually place people on a ladder/adjust their rank?

Also, the mod does request a score when you report a match. It asks for the winning/losing score. And thats how it determines who the winner is of that match.

[OttawaGolf]

Something doesn't seem right with the ELO calculator:
http://forum.ottawagolf.com/ladders.php?do=elorating

No matter what the score is, the resulting ratings are always the same if the beginning ratings are the same and the winner of the match is the same.

Also, the larger the margin of difference is between opponents is the less gain a winning underdog gets. Example:
If a 1000 beats a 1001 the resulting ratings are 1024.92(winner) and 988.46(loser)
If a 1000 beats a 1030 the resulting ratings are 1022.84(winner) and 1016.42(loser)
and so on up to 1000 beating 2000 resulting in ratings of 1000.15 (winner) and 1975.07(loser)
Shouldn't beating a better opponent result in a higher rating than beating a lesser opponent?
Something just seems wrong with this calculator to me.

[bananalive]

I've checked elo formula and found only one error with longest winning streak always increasing by 1 in some circumstances.

I've played around with my test ladder with different scores and here are the results:

player 1 starts on 1083 and player 2 on 1000; p1 loses 2-3; new elo-ranks are 1057 and 1026

p1 starts on 1000 and p2 on 1057; p1 wins 4-2; new elo-ranks are 1026 and 1031

p1 starts on 1050 and p2 on 1000; game is draw; new elo-ranks are 1047 and 1003

p1 starts with 1047 and p2 with 1031; p1 wins 3-2; new elo-ranks are 1050 and 1025


These are all correct. (A higher k-value will mean one match will alter elo-rating more)

The player encountering problems should click the report image https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/ on the right hand side of the challenge. Then you (or any other ladder admins) can confirm the score. There is option for player reporting the match to provide a screenshot as proof of score.

Who has the best D, etc ,etc. you could allow the admin to determine what stats users must enter. and only the winner would have to enter the stats.

Suggestion: Allow admins to choose certain users to be moderators over certain Tournaments.

Ex: User A can only be a moderator over Tournament 1. User B can only be a moderator over Tournament 2 and 3.

This would help us a lot in managing the tournaments.

You could create a team tournament with min members 1 max members 10 (hoping for teams of ten). Then write in the description... join empty teams by clicking on the team you wish to join and then clicking Join team on next page (requires confirmation by team leader).
If you wish to create your own team, click here (http://forums.jetgaming.org/competitions.php?do=addteam) and join tournament.

(Members would need to be given usergroup permission to create teams)

Great Mod, voted for MOTM

[Covert-OPs_]

I am checking back in to find out if there has been any progress on the following:

Feature Request: Ladder Add-on

1. I think it would be great if there was a way to set a date cut-off for ladders. Once that date is hit then the ladder gives the admin/mod the ability to create a tournament based on the results of the ladder. The top teams would be placed high on the bracket with bye's into the second round/third round depending on the number of participants. It would also matchup teams based on their record from the ladder, so the lowest ranked teams would face the strongest teams(assuming that a bye system is not possible or doesn't make sense). This would create a league/playoff atmosphere around the mod and would be VERY helpful in my opinion.

2. Challenge Details are needed for the ladder. Basically, a place to put in the details of the match in question. A few suggestions would be Map Name, Mode, Number of players needed, Date & Time, Notes.

Feature Request: Tournament Add-on

The ability to seed players/teams in the tournament bracket.

[MotMann]

• The URL to the Avatar is wrong.

• And the Text is not full phrased. Maybe "Current Tournament Datum in your Timezone" is not to translate in the ACP (Phrase).

• How i can reset the results?
• The Time is wrong.

What shell i do?

[zombietom]

I have trouble with people being able to access the page with tournaments. It says they dont have access. Even if I have given them access. What am I missing? are there any more options somewhere?

[zombietom]

I figured it out. Just had a setting wrong...thanks it seems to be very good .

[bananalive]

? The URL to the Avatar is wrong.

? And the Text is not full phrased. Maybe "Current Tournament Datum in your Timezone" is not to translate in the ACP (Phrase).

? How i can reset the results?
? The Time is wrong.

What shell i do?
The avatar url is based around the folder selected in vbulletin options.

Added as phrase for next version.

You cannot reset user's wins/ joins tournaments.

Which time?

[BlueNinjaGo]

You cannot reset user's wins/ joins tournaments.



I actually managed to do this in the database...

Assuming you don't have to change a lot of people's, it's not that big of a deal. There should be a way to reset the field for everyone to 0, but I'm not that familiar with database coding.

[KoV Mr Awesome]

I followed the instructions in the read-me that came with the download, but I cannot find a link or anything to the tournaments/ladders on my website. I can see the tournament/ladder permissions for user groups in my admincp. Anyone have an idea of what's going on?

EDIT: My vB is set up in a forum sub-directory folder. That is where I installed the files, was this correct? I also contacted my webhost and had them change the \image\teamlogos directory to CH MOD 777) and still couldn't find anything on my site

[BlueNinjaGo]

go to YourSiteURL.com/subfolder/competitions.php

[KoV Mr Awesome]

BlueNinjaGo... Thanks man. LOL, this is my first time ever working with vBulletin. Again, thanks for the help, I appreciate it

[zombietom]

I have some tournaments and ladders up if you want to view it...You don't have to reg. unless you want to joina tounrament or ladder..These are live active ladders for gamers ..so only join if you really are going to play.

See how it looks

Forum Tournaments & Ladders is now included as CDP as a part of the final vBExperience 3.8.4 package:

Which time?

German +1 :-) for the turniersystemstart

And when comes the Update, because i can't start the Turnier if some Phrases in wrong language..

Nice job :)

[baco84]

hi! do you can create on this mod a mvp list on the team ladder?

[cbehan]

I might sound dumb in asking this....but I'm still trying to figure it out.

How are winners decided in a tournament?

[a marked man 70]

Permissions are set in Usergroup Permissions.

Make sure you have the modification enabled and Banned Users is empty both in Tournament and Ladder Options.

ok, as admin, i can access the tournaments/ladders bit, but no other groups can, even though i have given them all the same permissions as i have. the mod is enabled and the banned users is empty, but still no other groups can access the page. it just comes up with "you do not have permission to access this page, bla, bla, bla"

Can somebody help us out. i am using 3.8.4

[a marked man 70]

ok, finally got it working. nice mod

[LWS]

is there any way to clear the tournament stats ? I cant seem to find where to do it...

[KorsatH]

The banana's forum is now closed, end of the updates? :(

[ArnyVee]

I hope that someone can put together something like an NCAA brackets setup/competition where you can create a tourney for anything from pictures on the site or favorite member or anything like that.

[KorsatH]

game over? :(

[JGreig]

Hey, could you please tell me how to edit the posbit legacy for this mod?

I want to put a border round the wins and loses etc, but I cannot find it in the template.

[uprentiss]

how can i center the tournaments joined and won information in the postbit_legacy?

[NoKSouLz]

When clicking on a team thats been created the following error appears:

You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near '' at line 1

How do i fix this?

This is stopping teams from adding a roster and joining the ladder.

[glorify]

banana--deleting a finished tourney doesn't take away from the Hall of Fame Stats. Any way to reset the Hall of Fame?

[crazymilk]

Great mod ty works great wo0h0o

[Tricky4]

I'm looking for a mod for race events, so individuals/teams have finishing positions in a race which relate to points and a position in a ladder. Is there any scope for handling this? My PHP is reasonable, could game type be added?

[ProFifaLeagues]

Great and easy install thanks

[Neomega]

Hey Banana, I just wanted to let you know I'm going to try to use your system to start a Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2(and other games to come) FPS competition site at www.gamescrim.com

Kudos on all the work on this, it's really impressive and I think we could have a good time using it as it already exists. Other competition/tournament/ladder sites are basically the same functionality, even less in some cases.

I was wondering how hard it would be to make a few tweaks, I've been doing vb for many years and am familiar with editing and tweaking but I'm not a code expert or anything. Here are the things I would like to do, they are pretty simple:

1. Be able to have 'players' show up as 'teams', since it will be a teams only website. There are a few places where it still shows up as players, even though I have selected it to be a teams tourney. I know this is really simple, I can probably do this on my own.

2. Gaming Team logos, you already have it setup where a logo can be setup for every entrant, which is awesome, is there an easy way to display it on the teams list? I think that would be nifty.

3. I know I'm wishing for the stars, but there aren't any plans to be able to add player stats tracking to this system is there? It would be great if we could not only track the wins and losses of the teams but also track the kills, deaths, assists, flags, points, etc. of every player. If you don't think it would be very difficult to set up, I could even try to create the mod myself if you could point me in the right direction.

4. So you can create teams, and players can join that team.....I don't think there is currently a way to associate teams, as well as players that are on a team, with a usergroup security policy is there? For example, a user creates a team, and vb automatically puts them into a 'team leader' usergroup without any admin interaction, and then if some other players join that team they automatically get upgraded to a 'team member' usergroup?

Anyways, these are just ideas, I really love your mod it has come a long way. :up: :) :up:

[Nephalim]

nice looking mod. I know it works.. Ive seen one working, but we cant get people to show up on a team after they've joined. Set all permissions. and we get the same error message as NoKSouLz

any help appreciated

[cbehan]

I might sound dumb in asking this....but I'm still trying to figure it out.


How are winners decided in a tournament?


anyone?

[Neomega]

anyone?

It appears the team leaders/admins put in a score, say 4 points for team a beats 1 point for team b. Team a moves on. If it's the last pairing, then team a is the winner. I haven't gotten enough players to help me test it out yet, seems pretty simple though.

[masterwebguy]

Is there a way to remove teams from brackets, or replace them with another team once the bracket is produced?

We hvae a team that isn't able to play and one to take it's place, but i cannot figure out how to do this.

[ti07shadow]

What you should do is add a thing for entry fees on w/e tournament you decide to have a entry fee on, you should also make a ladder system, basically challenge another team or player to a match and if they accept then it adds it and they play and report the scores.

I would so use it if it at least added a entry fee thing or maybe the ladder setup I described

[Neomega]

Doesn't it already have that ladder system? Teams can challenge each other to matches, then accept, the game is put in, and I think the teams can even input their scores and the higher score wins.

[S8G blondii]

This is awesome! Thank you!

[ti07shadow]

oh didn't notice the ladder thing :p

still be cool to add a entry fee tourneys to

but otherwise *pardon my language but*

this is a kick ass system :p

[djlotus]

I was having a problem with the "PM me the Details" link, under the Tournament Tools, drop down. I was getting the error "Please complete both the subject and message fields." To fix, make the following easy change to "tournaments.php"

change on line 216:
eval('$message = "' . fetch_template('tmnt_template') . '";');to read:
eval('$message = "' . fetch_template('tmnt_threadtemplate') . '";');:up:

[djlotus]

I have read every post in this thread and still can not find the answer too:

Why are PM's not being sent during the challenge process?

Any ideas/fixes?

Also, I am curious if there is a way to separate "Categories" by a new variable called "Consoles"?
Basically adding a new sort value to the listing of Categories. As of now, the heirarchy is as follows:


Categories
|
Game1 Game 2
/| |\
Ladder1 Ladder2 Ladder1 Ladder2

I would like to be able to add a value above "Categories" so it would sort as follows:


Console
/ \

Categories Categories
| |
Game1 Game 2 Game 1 Game2
/| |\ /| |\
Ladder1 Ladder2 Ladder1 Ladder2 Ladder1 Ladder2 Ladder1 Ladder2


Any ideas?

[MrHyde]

Hi all,

we have found a strange problem, when a ladder list has more than one page. For example we had "25" as people per side for the ladders and what happens now:


People on positions 1-25 can only challenge people from 1-25
People from 26 on side 2 can only challenge people on side 2


When you go to another page than you are listed on, it will also give you the option to "join the ladder" again.

What it did now was changing the 25 in the settings to 200, so I don't have the problem... but it would be nice, to have the possibilty to show the ladder rankings on more than one page.

Any ideas?

Thanks! :)

[mikeinjersey]

hello, can someone tell me how I can edit the number of players allowed in a tournament ? The drop-down thingee that only allows , 4 , 8 , 16, etc to be selected. I need to input a 12 there so I can add COD4 to the list.

also, i'd like to change 'single elimination' name to 'team deathmatch'.

any help is much appreciated.

[mikeinjersey]

anybody ? I'd really like to know how to adjust this.

[MrHyde]

anybody ? I'd really like to know how to adjust this.

You should be able to adjust this afterwards. Start with 16 and after the creation you can klick on the minus or plus next to the number of players to go down to 12.

For the names I don't know but you shouldn't care and just name it in the title and put it in the details of the description. That would be a workaround, I guess ;)

[Mike21]

I get this everytime i post in the description:

<input id="gwProxy" type="hidden"><!--Session data--><input onclick="jsCall();" id="jsProxy" type="hidden">

[Neomega]

There's a plus and minus icon to the right on the tournament/ladder details page where you can finetune the number of players allowed.

I'll be trying to use this system to start a modern warfare 2 competition league November 10th when the game launches, I guess I'll find out how well it works for a large number of teams haha. One thing I would like is to know how to change some of the terms, like change 'players' to 'teams', etc.

[Nephalim]

ive had a few problems too. cant report matches. Ive just read thru all 130+ pages here. seems like around page 113-115 people were talking about this too before the last update.but we cant even see the red button.help please

[epp_forum]

I have a very basic question, the product adds a button to the navbar but there is not code in the navbar template! When I check the source code of the rendered site I can find this: <td class="vbmenu_control"><a href="http://www.easyplayforum.com/competitions.php">Competitions</a></td>


Unfortunately the vbmenu_control should be "navigation" but I cant find it anywhere. Any one shed some light on this please?

[Jimbolosey]

Ya, I'm having troubles as well. It seems like there is very little support for mods that are already out :(. I just installed this and I have seen that the mod doesn't even create a link in the navbar, it will not show the brackets, can't report tournaments, the pm details was messed up (a member here gave a fix for it...would'a thought the creator could do something), and a few things here and there that I can live with.

overall, I'm really not that satisfied with it...purely because of there are 133 pages as of now and most problems aren't fixed in the Download...

[Neomega]

Works great for me, was a very simple install and all the features have worked well on my site. After installing it all I had to do was configure it a little in vboptions(you can enable or disable navbar link there I think), and you definitely have to set permissions for every usergroup. Unless a mod is interfering with it I don't know where your problems are coming from.

I have about 7 major add-ons on gamescrim.com, but I definitely found one or two that were either poorly coded or just interfered with my main mods and I had to disable them.

[betts02]

without reading all these post,as there are too many.lol
can anyone tell me if this has been updated ? with the following which was sad to be on the todo list :
•Add more Different Tournament Types (Double Elimination and Round Robin)
•Allowing a player to only join one team per ladder
•Use 3.7/3.8 notification system
•My Teams page
•Easy way to Re-arrange users in tournament
•Limit number of challenges per week/day
•Ladder match finder
•Custom message included in challenge pm sent to user

[floggerss]

I have a problem, the thread tah is automatically created shows a bit of the template code

<!-- BEGIN TEMPLATE: tmnt_threadtemplate -->
Prueba

No Players: 4
Type: LMS

Description:
Hola probando probando
View all Tournaments Here

<!-- END TEMPLATE: tmnt_threadtemplate -->

Other thing i want to know where is the code in the postbit template to add some color.

[floggerss]

Other question whats the difference between LADDER and TEAM?

[floggerss]

None?¿

[rizvihot]

does it incorporate with voting/poll thread, so if a contender won the vote then she can move to next ladder? e.g photo battle

[Neomega]

A. A ladder is a competition, i.e. you have 10 teams let's say, if team at the number 2 'rung' on the ladder beats the team at the number 1 'rung', then the team moves up a notch and becomes 'king of the ladder' until someone beats them to knock them back down. You could also call this king of the hill, the object is to win your way to the top and defend your top spot as long as you can.

A. I don't think it incorporates the voting/poll, it's pretty much it's own system.

This is a great league/ladder mod, and thanks again for making it BananaLive. I know you're busy with other mods and other things, and I know you've been asked this a lot probably but here goes:

Do you plan on updating this for vbulletin 4 when it is released?
