Leagues is the Leaderboard.

You pre-determine how many points a member scores for achieving a highscore,you can dedicate points for (upto) the top 10 positions in each games highscore chart. For example 1st Place - 10 points, 2nd place - 9 points and so forth..

The points are then accumulated to give an overall arcade champion (based on total points scored) and individual category champions (the person wit the best average ranking in all your categories will be the overall arcade category champion).

Fix leagues lets you run an updater to make sure all the leagues are up-to-date (like a cron job) - and should be run regularly or if you have jus moved games from one category to another

Hope that helps

hey thanks alot for the quick response. that sure helped. do you also know:

where exactly are the scores for the tournaments stored? as they dont show up in the games_scores table.

[Gemma]

Tournament scores are stored in the tournament_players table (in the rungscore field)

I have made a few limitations like post count requiered for the users and all I get is this error.

There is a SQL error.
You can contact the board administrator by clicking here

Error Returned

mySQL query error: SELECT COUNT(pid) AS amount FROM forum_posts WHERE post_date>1131310800 AND author_id=43

mySQL error: Table 'mgsz_forum.forum_posts' doesn't exist

RC4.5: Leaderboard wont load in v3 skin as that skin appears to have no "function cat_select"

Fatal error: Call to undefined function: cat_select() in /home/bla/public_html/portal/forums/arcade/modules/mod_league.php on line 39

I had a better Idea on this and I hope someone could make this add-on or what not. Let users join a team team XBOX, team Sony, Team Nintendo for my forum or whatever and let them compete against the other groups and have something in the postbit for those teams like a trophy for a week that they are on team X.

what option? you mean the leagues? there are no leagues it just stands for the leaderboard. it's under score tools.

ggiersdorf nice thought!

is there anyway to enable smilies in the arcade comments?

[MrZeropage]

Nice idea, but this should be an AddOn - or does anyone of you Testers get's this done within a short period then provide it to me for the final release

[Sooner95]

I myself would just put that stuff to addons.. You've done enuff and I think anything else would only delay the Final release.

Just my 2cents..
