[LCN2007]

Interesting no actual games right?

This is just a may to make rosters correct?

correct

[PGAmerica]

So, this does not create the tournament game, just the tournament listing? does it match up players to compete with each other?

[Antek]

Nice mod, but... how can I join to tournament??

features 4 next version:
- turn off/on script in admin cp,
- ban user ID option,
- calendar script in Create Tournament page - not a date field like now.

Anyway good job bananalive

Thanks for ideas.

Edit Permissions in Tournament so that your usergroup can 'Join Tournaments' and then click on tournament you want to join, and under tournament details there is link to 'Join Tournament'.

[schlottkej]

allow for individual scoring (admin can add type of score and points)
stats management (save users stats)

VERY awesome start :)

[RK1gaming]

I like this add-in ... just have to think where it would fit - what we have been looking for is something that would do gaming nights with certain games .. and people would sign up to play them.

The tie into the calender would be sweet

[AzzidReign]

What does LMS mean?

Could we get an option for teams? And if that is selected, slots open up to add players names so you know the roster per team? That would be SO awesome :)

Great start! I'll definitely be using this even if this doesn't add anything for teams.

- Call of Duty 5 World at War Glitches (http://www.se7ensins.com/forums/call-duty-5-glitches/)

[christicehurst]

LMS means Last Man Standing

[Antek]

Edit Permissions in Tournament so that your usergroup can 'Join Tournaments' and then click on tournament you want to join, and under tournament details there is link to 'Join Tournament'.

I can't see this link on my board :( Any idea? Permissions are OK.

[Jezlad]

Woah, this looks awesome.

I'll consider adding this bad boy once i've chatted with my team. Good job by the look of it.

[stickskills]

I'm loving the idea, but I'll install once the next version comes out :). A few things to think about:

- Adding teams or players, depending on tournament.
- Add game brackets in (Call of Duty 4 tourny category, Halo 3 tourny category, etc.)
- Have it tie in where users can view how many tournaments a user has been in, career wins/losses/etc.

Great mod though!

[Antek]

Next good ideas, btw CoD4 rox! :D
Maybe this features:
- auto create thread or announcement with details about tournament,
- send PM to users with info about competition ;)

[Hornstar]

How do people progress through the tournaments? who decides on the winner in each round?

What are some examples of tournaments you could have?

[hjogi]

very interesting, my compliments!

but i'm waiting next realease.

[schlottkej]

- The ability to add additional forum types
- data output


Check out www.trackwrestling.com for other ways to display the tournaments :)

[EWGF]

Fi-na-lly someone has made this for vB!

I need this very much, will check it immediately.



Edit: I can't join any tournaments, even with the permissions set correct :confused:

Also you have a doctype several times in the body:
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">

[cmmguy]

I can see this used for Softball or baseball tournaments(you would be amazed at how many of these go on each weekend!)

Need Bye bracket.
Need double elimination.
Need multiple sub-tournaments that lead to a main tournament.
Need multiple fields to describe the contestant. (maybe use profile fields?)

Nice job!

[OcR Envy]

Edit: I can't join any tournaments, even with the permissions set correct :confused:



Yea I'm not seeing the join option as well.

Nominated and Installed, I've been waiting a long time for a new tournament addon. Please please please keep developing this.

Additional Requests:

Ladder Display as Tournament Progresses
Team Tournament Option
Double Elimination Option
Keep users tournament record for display on profile page etc..

[valendono]

the pharse gone. how to join the tournament. 3.7.3 tested and buggy.

[OcR Envy]

Thank you for the update banana, join tournament is now working.

However player stats(tournament.php?do=playerstats&id=) is returning a blank white page.

[bananalive]

Thank you for the update banana, join tournament is now working.

However player stats(tournament.php?do=playerstats&id=) is returning a blank white page.
have you re-uploaded tournament.php allowing overwrite

[OcR Envy]

Guess not working now, ty.

[EWGF]

Nice, working now. Nominated.

I'd like to see an option to edit the participants list. I've experienced there are always a couple of people who don't show up or retrait on the last moment. Also when editing a tournament, options like LMS can't be changed. Would be handy, if you accidently click the wrong option.

Hmm, furthermore brackets would be a sweet addition. Also the players stats are great, I hope it can be displayed in the profiles in the future :)

[PGAmerica]

Does anybody actually have this working now? I would love to see this in action before I install it.

[AzzidReign]

Here's a few more suggestions:
- Create Game Category (so we can add our own games to it)
- Keep a history of each game to show who took 1st, 2nd, and 3rd.

[bananalive]

Does anybody actually have this working now? I would love to see this in action before I install it.
It is fully working.

[siveriano]

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '/', expecting T_STRING or T_VARIABLE or T_NUM_STRING in /my_patch/tournament.php(297) : eval()'d code on line 1

Somebody can help me?

[Reinhart]

That was quick, thanks :)

Already looking forward for the next release.

Great work on this, and I'll be finally installing it my vBulletin once I finish upgrading a few things and tweaking a few things first. Nominated for MOTM.

[bananalive]

hello!

installed and no problems ( ver. 1.3a)

will ask how can get this tabels like you have i exampletournament.jpg (screen shoot here)
and what is 1v1 and lms?
set up a 1v1 tournament and once all the slots are full, it will show you the results grid

1v1 - a series of rounds where the winner of the match progresses to next round
LMS - is essentially a list of scores with the person gaining the highest score is the winner


really need some table like that and will manually put players names. have tournira on my site (belot - card game) http://libar-libar.com
i will be adding feature for tournament moderators to add players

[macc]

thanks ...really need this feature to add players in this " results grid " and is it possible to have this grid before to add players and all can see how tournament looks and progress?

Exactly what I am going to to.

Feature requests

I'd like the comments to be editable with a master switch in Admincp to cut off editing.
Also after creating a tourney, when re-editing the tourney, I'd like to be able to edit the number of players. That way If I have people joining the tourney, and I don't know how many from the start will sign up, I can edit it, or just start it.
From the main tourney page where it lists all tourneys, be able to delete tourneys.


Changes

In LMS, restrict usergroups from editing points.
Also, just testing, but LMS does not indicate a tie if there is one.
Comment Display Mode set to Oldest First
Add Avatars to comments

[mlthmp]

Installed. Works PERFECT on my 3.7.2!

I am very excited about this mod, as I have been looking for something like this! Only suggestion I have for the next version (which I hope there will be one!) is to allow the tournament creator to input players, or teams into the brackets (instead of just joining)

That would make this mod PERFECT! However, its very very close as-is.

Thank you SO much =)

*EDIT*

Also, another suggestion would be a "Previous Tournaments page" of some sort. A place where the last tournament results can be found / reviewed / stored, etc.

[abu9al7]

thanks a lot

but how to translate it to another language ? (Arabic for example)

[KrU$ty]

This is a great mod, but these should be the option for the tournament starter to start the tournament, even if the player count isnt high enough. I can see people starting tournaments but player interest is lacking, resulting in the tournament not starting.

Everything works as described with no errors.

[glorify]

This is what I have done so far with comments and description. Not done yet tho. With comments, I need to figure out how to sort by oldest first.

Nice, it's working now. Loving the profile stats, but the stats on the playerstats page are different of the stats in the regular profiles. Or maybe not updated yet..?

Keep it up anyway :up:

I like what you have done. Comments have been 'fixed' on v1.4



Comments still newest first on 1.4a and I set to 'allow overwrite'

Row Numbers disappear in the competitors/results block. Just periods show.

[P.Jackson]

would be great for teams to be able to signup for 5v5's and they have to enter the game id's i.e STEAM_ ,PB Guild etc

Double elim would also be a great addition

updated to 1.4a and no database error but cannot create any new tournament (when i click on new tournament - nothing happens - just page without any text or tables to create tournament - like was before in 1.3a)

I'm having the same issue as macc.. When I click Create Tournament it doesn't bring up the same options to do so as before.

I uploaded the new files (overwrote old ones) and imported the product, allowing over write. Suggestions?

[macc]

i tested (added players manually) in one of tornaments before created ...(1v1) and i see statistics and after i clicked on one username (should win ) i got the grid but can not get again statistics (to put another winner in the grid) - will attach link to you to see that http://libar-libar.com/libar/vb/tournament.php?do=view&id=4

I'm not sure where you mean.

What kind of tournament are you taking about and what stage is it in?

Now that part of it is working (Create Tournament) but I'm seeing another error.

I just created a 4 person tournament.. when I went to move one player ahead (advance him) it marks the tournament as finished. Example Below.. Am I missing a step here?

I used real member IDs, but changed the names to numbers (to represent team numbers)

Nice additions!
Id love the ability to do Teams as well.. plus REMOVING players is essential.

Well, I pretty much finished the style I was looking for. More of a threaded look with a collapsible tourney info box at the top. Finalize, edit, and delete buttons all appear at appropriate times.

The last thing to wait on is post order by last post, and an option to have an indefinite number of players, or be able to start the tourney whenever. As soon as i get that nailed down, I can go live. Also still getting the sql error when trying to go to 1.4b. I also have a question. Do the comments paginate or do they just go on and on? Haven't screwed with it.

bananalive, great mod. If yer interested in my templates, lemme know. I'd release them, but they are pretty messy lol.

I've found the error you were talking about, the javascript was redirecting to wrong url and finishing the tournament instead of progressing the player. It will be included with version v1.6 (coming out very soon)

Great Additions!
Keep them coming!
MOTM for sure!

Still waiting to "remove players" to go live on my board..
Too many noobs just "joining" for fun or to test it out and no way to get them out!

[mlthmp]

Excellent! I thank you so much for this mod!
Worked perfectly, and leaves me very excited to see where this one goes in the future!

Suggestions for future versions (none of these are very important.. just extras)
The option to not link a player or "team" to a forum member ID.
Less confusing bracket administration process (maybe a space between each macthup when you select a winner)
Brackets on each side of page for 16,32 player brackets.
"Score Field", place to enter a final score for each matchup

Like I said, none of these are major IMO, and this mod is already quite fantastic! I'm sure you already have a test board.. but if you ever needed another "Teastdummy" let me know =)

[Reinhart]

Yeah with Teams and being able to fully control the membership of the tournament by removing or kicking or subbing players.. then Id be good to go!

but seriously.. GREAT FREAKING WORK MAN!

[schlottkej]

Unfortunately not all of the issues have been resolved yet. The FPSS module still is automatically displayed from some call within your code. I can't seem to figure out why!?!

[merk_aus]

Great Mod man,
Was about to install but was sick for the weekend come back on and its raced up to 1.6 with many added features look forward to adding it to my board after work today (unless there is another update then i will add that one)

I have to hand it to you for the dedication you have showed to the mod it gives us all some hope that mods aren't just being made put on here and forgotten about. Your a real person some of these other mod creators can learn from. Good job!

If I have any issues I will let you know - not to make your life a living hell but to help you improve it - if at all it needs to be!

Which templates handle the front of /tournament.php ?? I, for some very strange reason, I have FPSS displaying the most recent thread from that forum above the Tournament Listing.

The problem lies somewhere within $html < where is that edited?

banana--I am working on a php edit/ tmnt_edit combo to edit players, slots, status.

I can get everything to work so far except for one thing. I can't get a value of 0 to save in the freeslots field. I can save any other number.

any ideas to make it work?

*EDIT*
Got it! Continued testing and I think I'll have it figured out. I can save new status, players, and freeslots. Now I gotta see if they all work when adding a player after an edit ;)

[siveriano]

banana, how do you delete tourney wins/joined? I did a bunch of testing, deleted the tourneys, but the info still shows in my postbit/memberinfo stats. I'd like to request pagination for the comments. My comment list is really long with guys picking a whole weeks games. Doable?

Also made a Who's Online plugin. Attached.

Would there be any way to have an DOUBLE ELIMINATION option?

Also, could there be a way for an admin to define the value of a tournament? (Local tournaments worth 100 points. Regional tournaments worth 400 points, National tournaments worth 2000 points)... then distribute the points based on custom algorithms? Like I would want 1st place gets 50% of the points, 2nd place gets 20% of the points, 3rd place gets 10% of the points, and both 5th place players (double elimination remember?) get 5% each of the points, and all remaining players get the remaining 10% of the points distributed evenly amongst them (with a maximum of 1% each)?

Sort of the way the Tennis Circuits do it. This way we could have true rankings?

Also, lots of uncached templates.

[Blackhat]

for the score type you should have a drop down and not a text box or can you put whatever you like in there ?

[bananalive]

for the score type you should have a drop down and not a text box or can you put whatever you like in there ?
You can put whatever you like in there. Eg. Point, Kill, Death, etc.
(Put it in singular form as the modification works out if number of points is plural and adds 's' to end of word if it is.)

Oops, that will be fixed in v1.7

[Jaxel]

Well would there be a way for you to set it up so that we could do double elimination tourmanents? Single elimination tournaments in the video game scene are non-existant, or tournaments that no one cares about. Frankly, unless there is double elimination, I cant use this. Also, is there a Round Robin option? Dont need Last Man Standing or Single Elimination.

To clarify the scoring system... this would be with double elimination... In double elimination tournaments, there is no 4th place, instead there are two 5th placed players. Everything in parenthesis should be admin definable; even the min and max of the ranking allocations.

Tournament Categories (point values definable)
- Local Tournaments (100 points)
- Regional Tournaments (500 points)
- National Tournaments (2000 points)

Ranking Allocations (percentages definable)
- 1st Place (50% points)
- 2nd Place (20% points)
- 3rd Place (10% points)
- 5th Place (5% points each to both players)
- The remaining 10% gets split up evenly between all other players (1 point min - 1% max)

Also, any chance to support up to 128 players? How about the ability to limit people to creating only ONE tournament a month?

[Chris B]

Any way to change the LMS option, or even add new options?

[Chris B]

Also is is possible to remove the Tournament details from the postbit?

Just so everyone knows..
On 3.6 banana uses div variables for the comments that are only defined by 3.7.. so you'll have some template work ahead of you if you want to get this thing to work properly :)..
But otherwise its running fine!

about the phrase after submit comment.. sumtin like cannot find phrase.. only me or still on dev about that phrase ?

[mlthmp]

Think there may be anyway to add "Scores" for 1<vs>1 matches?

Like I said before, all my suggestions / ideas are minor ones, I plan on using this anyway this script is exactly what I've been looking for! I really like it.

[stickskills]

I see pagination for comments! Looks like it isn't too far from me downloading, unless there's major progress on the ladder mod :P.

Honestly, I'd like to see the ladder & tournament mods released as a package.

Get a DB error when trying to add player:

Invalid SQL:
SELECT COUNT(*) AS countrows FROM user WHERE userid=Luke;

MySQL Error : Unknown column 'Luke' in 'where clause'

Luke was the member i was trying to add :)

[schlottkej]

A couple thoughts that I have not seen mentioned yet:

Allow admin to create tournament categories to organize them in.
Allow 1v1 scoring and ability to add types of scores
Ability to add guest users

[Jaxel]

Okay, I have an additional change to the ranking system... Remember, in double elimination tournaments, there is no 4th place, instead there are two 5th placed players. Everything in parenthesis should be admin definable; even the min and max of the ranking allocations.

Tournament Categories (point values definable)
- Local Tournaments (100 points)
- Regional Tournaments (500 points)
- National Tournaments (2000 points)

Ranking Allocations (percentages definable)
- 1st Place (50% points)
- 2nd Place (20% points)
- 3rd Place (10% points)
- 5th Place (5% points each to both players)
- The remaining 10% gets split up evenly between all other players (1 point min - 1% max)

Players shouldn't be ranked by their total number of points. Instead, they should be ranked by the top 10 scores (admin definable number) during the course of the past year. This way it doesn't require a person to attend every tournament, and ranks them simply by their best 10 performances in the past year. It would also automatically prune out retired players who don't attend events anymore; and give preference to regional and national tournaments since they are worth more points. Maybe setup a cronjob once a week to recalculate rankings?

Also, let me reiterate, that I need the ability to make it so tournaments have a MINIMUM of 16 players, and maximum of 128... with double elimination.

[bananalive]

Get a DB error when trying to add player:

Invalid SQL:

I've fixed this 'error' in v1.8
Userid is meant to be number, for example, my userid on (this forum) is 223075 and my username is bananalive

You can find a user's userid by putting your mouse over their name and you will see link in status bar to their profile. The number after member.php?u= is their unique userid, this is the number you want to use if asked for userid

[Reinhart]

Sorry to keep replying but I really love this mod..
Another suggestion that should be really easy yet really helpful..

Tournament Creators can "PM ALL" Participants.. to either let them know its starting.. let them know who won.. next round... last minute changes etc.

Whatddya think?!

[mlthmp]

I am just amazed at how quickly this mod if progressing!

Installed 1.8.

Few more suggestions.
1st, Might it be possible for the tournament winner to be shown in another color? Maybe the player or team that wins be shown in red, etc?
2nd, I still really think a space between "pairings" on the administrative side of the event would be helpful.. to minimize confusion. (For the first round)
3rd, Ability to show in user profiles Tournaments won.

[EWGF]

Keeps getting better and better :D

[glorify]

Looks GREAT banana. Excellent work. Voted MOTM, btw. Anyone running a live demo of default 1.8?

If I install 1.8, will it overwrite old custom templates? Will it keep current tourneys in place? I know I'll have to edit the old ones to match the new features.

Oh yeah totally.. Im loving the daily updates :)

[glorify]

Got it upgraded. First class work. banana, even on the default templates, the competitors are showing as 'Tournament Winner'

Can we have something showing (an edited by message and time) if someone edits their posts? Not saying people like to change their entries after a tourney starts or anything ;)

[Chris11987]

Is it possible to make it so a user can advance their opponent, basically admitting their own defeat, instead of needing a person that can edit to do it?

edit: The comments seem to be glitchy. My usergroup has YES for everything and can't post comments. I hit submit and nothing gets added. People in my same usergroup are able to post them, but mine won't show up.

[glorify]

I can delete a comment, but the redirect says "error, Tournament does not exist."

[jjmf]

I have translated the mod using the VB language manager.
Problems I?ve noticed so far:
1 - When using Portuguese (my primary language) the "Join tournament" link does not appear, even with it translated. If I switch to English, it appears fine.
2 - The same happens to the "Add player" link witch is also translated.
3 - There is no way to translate the "PM me the detais" string.
4 - The + and - buttons to increase/decrease the numbers of players doesn't appear also when using Portuguese language, only when using English.
5 - When I tried to join a tournament, got this mysql error:
Invalid SQL:
UPDATE vb3_user SET tmnt_joins = tmnt_joins + 1 WHERE userid=36;

MySQL Error : Unknown column 'tmnt_joins' in 'field list'

Thats all for now.
Keep the good work!

[bananalive]

Yikes. I'll back up. Didn't see any images with the dload package you spoke of. Any screen?

There was minor error which i've found with WYSIWYG comments which is fixed in next release

If you change translate the phrases related to tournament status ($vbphrase['tmnt_waiting'], $vbphrase['tmnt_inprogress'], $vbphrase['tmnt_finished']) then it wont work. I will be changing this in later version.

HA! I had the exact same idea last night!
Crazy.

I also second the idea of Randomizing brackets upon starting the tourney.. or at least being able to ajax reorder them manually.. whatevers easier to code! :)

Thanks again for the wonderful work.
I know I'll be clicking that "Support Developer" Button soon!

[Hitterman]

Is it like the Tournament add-on for v3arcade?

[Chris11987]

I was going to suggest putting then randomly as well, but then I discovered it already does that. I didn't check, but I assume you could reorganize them manually by editing the database. Not too important, but any plans of letting us set the brackets up our own custom way?

[JeffreySmith]

Great mod, thank you.

*installed*

[mlthmp]

1.8.1 Installed.

Again, I'd like to thank you for all the recent updates. This mod seems to be getting better with each one!

Few questions. I've setup several test events (as Im sure most have) during testing of this mod. I've removed all the brackets now, but in the HOF its still showing as having winners. Is there a way to remove these records (even if through myphpadmin?)

Also, I read that there is already a way to have stats show in profiles? If so, how? I've not yet been able to figure that one out if its even possible yet.

Like I said before, this mod is without a doubt my new favorite VB addon. Thank you very much!

[Varsh]

Amazing mod, been looking for something like this. #1!

[Alien]

Hey, this is pretty awesome!

I gotta admit however, what I was really looking for was a mod that lays out just like this but allows for, say, the opening thread that is created to serve as the "ready, get set, go!" thread where people can battle whether it was a flame war, rap contest, etc. that people could score or use a thumbs up or thumbs down on but that probably goes far beyond the planned capabilities of this hack.

I was really hoping for some sort of scoring ability that regular members could give the people involved in the tournament.

I do have to say that it's already awesome, just throwing my thoughts out there. ;)

[Chris11987]

^ What you're describing sounds more like a contest than a tournament.

[schlottkej]

how do you add more players to the LMS tournament?

[OcR Envy]

Watching patiently.

Still needs a Team Tournament option, Ability for players to admit their defeat or submit a win.

Edit:

How do I delete an entire tournament?

[Reinhart]

You can remove players.. just not after it has started.

To delete go into the tournament and scroll down to the bottom right.

[bananalive]

how do you add more players to the LMS tournament?
On right hand side there is link to 'Add Player'
To add slots click the + or - buttons next to number of slots
Once tournament has started it is not possible to add players.
How do I delete an entire tournament?
Open tournament and at the bottom right hand side is [Delete] link.

[Chris11987]

Can you add an option to allow us to start the tournament when we choose to as well? I'd like registration for tournaments to open at a certain time and then start the whole thing at another time.

edit: Also, *Installed* and *Nominated*

[x4a]

hello

thank you for the graet mod

i dont know were is the border and the box that show on the uesr name or the team name?

you can see the ile attach file

[Darksky]

There's a way to manage "mixed-mode" tournament ? I mean tournament made by a preliminary group of ladder/division and then only the fist xx of each ladder/division go to the next tournamente phase, the 1vs1 "eliminatory" matches.
Just to make an exmample: the European or Mondial Football Champ

[glorify]

Thanks for the edit message banana.

One last thing from me as far as requests go. I am editing my php file each upgrade so that I can do a mass edit to a tourney. When I edit a tourney, I can edit number of players/freeslots/status.

It's a really handy feature especially if a tourney goes full and you need to add players. Can this be added as a standard feature? Tired of editing the php file lol.

Pretty simple to do, just edit the .php file and template tmnt_edit. Just think it'd be a great standard feature.

[MonkYZ]

After installing this lovely mod, i can't seem to find it anywhere in navbar links or forum links. If i go directly to www.mywebsite.com/forum/tournament.php i can see it... but, isn't there any other way ?

[abu9al7]

I have installed the 1.9

but the same problem

there is no way to join the Tournament !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Queball_Beast]

Is it possible to add the option for members to submit a win/loss ?

Also in the LMS the option to have a beginning date and ending date

Also any to have the ability to have a lifeline added

Example:
Player A has 3 points
Player B has 3 points
Player A defeats Player B
Player A gains 1 point making his total points to 4
Player B loses 1 point reducing his points to 2

Whom ever reaches 0 point is eliminated from the event
All players with lets say 10 points or more will be entered into the Featured tournament for the Event

Just hoping...

Thanks

[MonkYZ]

Thx for this mod !

Can you please tell me how to remove
Tournament Joined: 2
Tournament Wins: 1

Yeah just go into your plugin Mgr and uncheck the "Active" buttons under the tournament mod for "Postbit" and "Membeinfo" if you want to remove those.

The link is under tournament details
Check the tournament isn't full
Make sure your usergroup permissions allow you to join tournament
Make sure the template (tmnt_display is not edited... if it is click 'revert template')

It should auto-insert link into both navbar and quick links if you have permissions to view tournaments
If it doesnt then open up navbar template
Find
$vbphrase[faq]</a></td>
Place After
<a href="tournament.php$session[sessionurl_q]">$vbphrase[tmnts]</a></td>

This you please support 5v5 6v6 or 8v8 team play. Online tournanments like cs/tf2

Also put a block/restriction, so that it stops users joining "same" tournanment multiple times.

[KHALIK]

can you also add a team ladder


5v5 open team ladder
http://www.enemydown.co.uk/ladder.php?ladder=28

2v2 open team ladder
http://www.enemydown.co.uk/ladder.php?ladder=71

something like the link above, were all the teams start at 1,000 points

win +3 points
draw +1
loss 0 points

+plus if they bet top ranked teams they get added bonus points, depending how ladder position.

etc.

I'll probably be adding teams next

[KHALIK]

Once a event goes active, with 1v1 etc..

It there a system in place to replace a userid/user if they drop out with another player (replacement) aka reserve.

Can this be introduced, as it will allow admins to add players to replace exiting players who are unable to play.

where do you change from "lms" mode to 1v1, etc?

upon tournament creation and also editing tournament (link at bottom right) when it hasnt started.

[mlthmp]

My biggest suggestion at this point.. is to keep this simple. OR, if you do decide to add the above suggestions, consider including a way to disable them.

Im sure there are board where such would be overkill or unused features. The bracket system alone makes this a killer modification.

My final suggestions at the moment,

Give the system its own AdminCP menu, where you don't alway shave to go through VB Options.

Consider adding the ability for an administrator to create events from the Admin CP.

May it be possible in the future, to make some events "Invite Only" ? So only the people you want to join can do so (without having to add them yourself) OR just a way to disable joining for some events?

[x YNWA x]

fantastic hack, absolutely what i needed for my gaming forum, and i hope u release the league one to. I have a few idea for future releases:


Being able to name players like by there gamertag/username instead of players 1,2,3,4,5,6

more statistics in profile/postbit i use it for pro evolution soccer so i would like to see, goals scored, goals conceeded wins, losses etc etc..... (maybe more suitable for a league structure than tournament but u get the idea)

more categories but u alread said ur doing this



al try think of some more

[Chris11987]

For the ladders, I STRONGLY urge you to use the ELO Rating System. It's the best way to calculate points IMO, and it used by all the big ladder and tournament sites:

yes, the user ID along with username needs to go away. it takes twice the time to create a tournament. besides...users are too incompetent to know what their id is, and how to find it.

[Queball_Beast]

I agree with "snapoff " it should be either username or user ID either one entered should be sufficient.

But is there an update coming with any of these suggestions implimented?

[mlthmp]

I'd be patient. There have already been TONS of updates since the original version came out. While im no coder, im sure it takes quite a bit of time to implement even smaller changes / updates.. much less such large ones.

Give him some time.. he has already issued more updates, in far less time than most modifications ever get =)

[KHALIK]

also will there be a feature to correct any mistakes, Example, wrong player put forward to the next round as an error.

Can I not just delete him and redo it again?

Great Hack! Nominated for MOTM.

Question regarding Custom Score Type for LMS Tournaments: For the LMS Tourney, ex. A Race determine by best lap time.

Is there a way to set winner to be the person with the fastest time instead of showing the winner who has the highest number?

Not sure if this has already been asked. Thanks for the great hack!

Also on the 1v1, how do you add scores once a match is complete and the player advances to the next round?

Thats all for now. Thanks again! :)

I manage lots of online events/competitons, one common problem is that, some players go AWOL, and don't play (go missing) after the event has gone live (first round) when there are lots of other users who want to play but cannot because he/she has taken the slot.



This is a important feature, I believe that will benefit the users and oragnisers.

the option of replacing a player is a good idea by tournament mods, but allowing signups after the tournament has started with 1v1 would problem results in errors

[VGPelega]

Hi Banana, I came here to see that the mod had been updated, and after upgrading, the current tournaments I had set up, had the dates set to 01-01-1970 at 1am.

When I go to edit the events, I can no longer edit the date of the event.

As much as I appreciate the addition of an actual date, I did prefer the older version of typing something into the box (Such as "TBC") as this allows for a free range of players able to sign up. And then a date can be added afterwards when the slots are filled up.

Just simple re-enable the editing of the date would be sweet fella. This mod is aiming straight for MOTM from me. :up:

I would also like to add my own calendar to this, to show on the tournaments page, and tie this into the date selection. Would I be allowed to go ahead and do that?

Players get randomly paired and you (tournament moderators) progress players to next round

I believe some people are using it on 3.6.x but you will need extra css for comments. Its memberinfo_css template from v3.7.x (I would give it to you but my website has gone down)

I guess random pairs are ok, I thought about handling the "pair lottery" myself but this will do...

1v1 tournament is brackets system sometimes called direct elimination, where if a player loses a game, they are out. If they win a game, they are moved into the next round. The winner is last won left.
(example screenshot here (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/attachment.php?attachmentid=86308))

LMS is where all players are competing together and the winner is the player with highest score

Thanks, Bananalive. I have found three critical bugs:

1. Once a tournament is "In Progress", how do you finish it? I clicked on "Finish", but got an error message ("Wrong top score."). Thoughts? I also don't see any way to finish any tournaments or input any scores. Help!

2. If you edit the Tournament after it has received all players, its status will change erroneously from "In Progress" to "Awaiting Players" (even though it is already maxed out on players), preventing you from finishing it. This can be fixed by increasing and then decreasing the number of slots, which then boots the game back to "In Progress". Is this intentional?

3. When I start a Tournament (1v1) between a couple of players, in the Results, I see no names (and have two arrow [>] buttons, but no names telling me who I would be advancing).

[Kaelon]

So, it looks like this mod isn't even working. Here's what's happening. I go and create my Tournament (a 1v1, which I have renamed the phrase to "Royal"), and when my test user account joins it, they see an empty series of brackets:

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/attachment.php?attachmentid=86785&stc=1&d=1221174625

Then, when I look at the tournament using my Creator/Editor account, I see the following:

As you can see, there are no contestant names, and hence, no way to compute results and finish the competition. Did I do something wrong, or is there a fix that I haven't applied? I'm having the same issue with LMS's (which I rephrased to "Competitions"), in that no results pages are being shown at all.

Best of all, when I refresh (navigate away, come back later, etc.), these "empty results" pages totally go away - and nothing shows up. The Tournament is just shown as being "In Progress" without any way to progress/conclude it. (And when I refresh on the end-user account, the empty boxes also disappear.)

And I just figured it out: apparently, this has something to do with the Language Phrases. Because I had translated the 1v1 and LMS phrases to English Language versions (just so that users could see them displayed as something else), none of the results would show.

I was able to fix half of it and get LMS events working with translations. The following changes should be made:

Change the template tmnt_new, find:

<th width="150">$vbphrase[tmnt_type]</th>
<td width="80"> <select name="type" id="type"><option>$vbphrase[tmnt_lms]</option><option>$vbphrase[tmnt_1v1]</option></select></td>

replace with:

<th width="150">$vbphrase[tmnt_type]</th>
<td width="80"> <select name="type" id="type"><option value="LMS">$vbphrase[tmnt_lms]</option><option value="1v1">$vbphrase[tmnt_1v1]</option></select></td>

Change the template tmnt_display, find:

$tmnt[type] $vbphrase[tmnt]: $tmnt[title]

replace with:

<if condition="$tmnt[type] == 'LMS'">$vbphrase[tmnt_lms]</if>
<if condition="$tmnt[type] == '1v1'">$vbphrase[tmnt_1v1]</if> $vbphrase[tmnt]: $tmnt[title]

and again, same template, find:

<b>$vbphrase[tmnt_type]:</b></td>
<td class="alt2"><span style="text-align: center;">$tmnt[type] </span></td>

replace with:

<b>$vbphrase[tmnt_type]:</b></td>
<td class="alt2"><span style="text-align: center;"><if condition="$tmnt[type] == 'LMS'">$vbphrase[tmnt_lms]</if>
<if condition="$tmnt[type] == '1v1'">$vbphrase[tmnt_1v1]</if> </span></td>

This will, at the least, enable the system to record "LMS" and "1v1", even if you're using translated phrases for these two variables. But like I said, I've only gotten this to work with LMS-type Tournaments; my 1v1 Tournaments aren't working yet -- players can join just fine, but afterwards, there is no resultant screen to moderate or show progress. I'm guessing there is another place where the '1v1' value is hard-coded somehow.

Just call it Single Elimination, and Double Elimination as it should be.

[Kaelon]

Just call it Single Elimination, and Double Elimination as it should be.
Except it's really 1v1 = Single Elimination, and LMS = just a general multi-purpose competition.

1. Once a tournament is "In Progress", how do you finish it? I clicked on "Finish", but got an error message ("Wrong top score."). Thoughts? I also don't see any way to finish any tournaments or input any scores. Help! It wont let you finish a tournament where you havent put it any results. To input results click Edit in the row corresponding to the players name.
2. If you edit the Tournament after it has received all players, its status will change erroneously from "In Progress" to "Awaiting Players" (even though it is already maxed out on players), preventing you from finishing it. This can be fixed by increasing and then decreasing the number of slots, which then boots the game back to "In Progress". Is this intentional? No, fixed in v2.2 (to be released in few hours)

The popup confirmation is meant to stop mistakes but I'll probably add this feature soonHas this been incorporated in the new release ?

This is now in v2.2.1

I have a small issue with the description box, displaying the opening text in the tournaments listing page.

Its a good Idea, but because there is no "Intro area" into the tournament information, I use a main headline banner-image followed by text, in the description, to make it more appealing to the members.

But thing is, the description now takes just the text from the description box, and it starts the description off by spitting out the URL where the image is meant to be, then continues on with displaying the rest of the text.

Does this make sense?

Suggestion: Perhaps an option to either disable it, or add a custom field in for a short description of text to add underneath the tournament name?

This would avoid the URL of the image being spit out onto the tournaments listing page? :confused:

^ I haven't installed the new version yet, but I had that same problem originally, and I think in this case you would just have to set the limit of the caption to 0, so it doesn't show on the listings page.

As Chris says just go into vbulletin options -> Tournament (at bottom of list) -> Description length => 0

UserID fetch inputs HTML header information into the USERID feild which, of course doesn't work.

I'm using 3.7.3 and just did a new install of this hack.

Would you like a screenshot to see what it's doing or are you already familiar with what I'm describing?

I am having the same issue. Everything else in this mod works very well.

When I try and add a member, I have two boxes, one for ID one for username. When I enter a name and click fetch, I get this,

<HTML><HEAD><TITLE>404 Not Found</TITLE></HEAD><BODY><H1>Not Found</H1>The requested document was not found on this server.<P><HR><ADDRESS>Web Server at warriornation.net</ADDRESS></BODY></HTML><!-- - Unfortunately, Microsoft has added a clever new - "feature" to Internet Explorer. If the text of - an error's message is "too small", specifically - less than 512 bytes, Internet Explorer returns - its own error message. You can turn that off, - but it's pretty tricky to find switch called - "smart error messages". That means, of course, - that short error messages are censored by default. - IIS always returns error messages that are long - enough to make Internet Explorer happy. The - workaround is pretty simple: pad the error - message with a big comment like this to push it - over the five hundred and twelve bytes minimum. - Of course, that's exactly what you're reading - right now. -->

I learned that the only way to bypass and add a member is if I enter both their username and go hunting down their userID.

How do I resolve this issue?

I haven't installed the newest version yet, but I have some issues/suggestions:

1) Tournament creator doesn't see an actual bracket. He/She just sees it in a list form. They are in the correct order so you can still figure out the bracket by going down the line and pairing them up, but this is extremely annoying if it is a large tournament. Also, if the tournament creator is also in the tournament, they don't have an option to submit their score the same way everyone else does. Of course they could just use their power to make themselves advance, but thats not what I want.

2) It doesn't handle byes correctly. For example, in a 12 person tournament, there should be 4 matches in round 1 in order to get the field down to an even 8 (with the rest of the people getting byes). Instead, it will will out a 16 person bracket from the top down, leaving a very awkward bracket, which results in very unfair byes in multiple rounds.

3) Tournaments start automatically when they fill up. There should be an option for it to start automatically, or for it to require the creator to start it manually. There are some tournaments I want to start on a certain date, or to start maybe the day after it fills up, or some other time other than as soon as it fills.

I think I had more suggestions, but they are escaping me. I will post if I think of some I believe to be useful.
