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. :)

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.

The elo rating calculator (ladders.php?do=elorating) is wrong. The formula used to work out the change in elo rating has changed recently and I have yet to update the formula for elo rating calculator.

The elo rating system used in the ladder system, does not allow the working out of elo rating before match to change the match results.

i re-quote myself... please help me!

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

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?

This is a nice mod, thanks.

One question though. When someone is challenged, why does it show up like this in the pm?

it wasn't send me back

ladders.php?do=view&id=$id

if i click it, new error show

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.?

Fixed in attached file

Fixed in attached file

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.

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

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.

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.

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?

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.

same error

i think the problem is in template... ?

Still same problem. Probably because my style is custom made.

Disable template comments

Admincp -> vBulletin options -> General Settings -> Add Template Name in HTML Comments -> No

I've installed this product and followed the instructions but the links wont appear on the nav bar - I've checked all the usergroups and I went direct to the link and everything works - checked on both custom and standard styles - any ideas?

Have you enabled it in Vbulletin Options?

Tournament & Ladder Options -> Navbar Link -> Yes

Ok that was it. Thanks man.

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?

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.

Not on the tournament. The actual ladder is where the wrong information was posted.

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

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?

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.

Ok thanks.


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.

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.

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

Installed.

Thanks.

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!

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