The list of subscribed threads ( https://www.twingalaxies.com/usercp.php ) needs some TLC after the latest make over. It's unhelpfully massive. As to whether the submissions has been voted upon, it either isn't shown or is incorrect.

When navigated a game's leaderboard pages, could the bar with the search option remain at the top of the page (image and ESI table could be made floated also):



The reason for asking is that when you've scrolled down, it's a loong way to get back and there's a bunch of whitespace at the side longing to be filled in.

@swaggers has correctly pointed out that the Time Trial tracks are missing a piece of information which players require in order to find the relevant course in the game. Such a change does not affect the existing submissions (as the course remains the same in the title) - it is just a player navigation aid. With this in mind, could the following Title changes be made to Hill Climb Racing 2, please:

I like to disqualify myself on the following submissions.


Guitar Hero III (Playstation 2)


When You Were Young - Multiplayer - Easy Difficulty

Score: 77,807

Reason: Wrong track submitted


Super Valis IV (Super Nintendo)

Score: 69,600

Reason: Score Error

Looks like any MAME leaderboard with scores is displaying the "Wolfmame version" oddly in Chrome:

ex: https://www.twingalaxies.com/game/arabian/mame/points-tournament-mode

I know this isn't an issue specific to one leaderboard, but can't seem to find any other threads to post site issues.

Thanks!

Hi @Siliconian

I've corrected the track title/description as requested.

I've also tidied the rules slightly for this track as they were missing line-breaks and had a couple of typos. However, I'm just looking at some of the game's other tracks (likely derivatives), and they all have the same typos etc. The game has 122 pages of tracks so will be quite a few! I can see if IT can do a bulk edit so all the derivatives are similarly tidied too?

Question - on the third rule, it says "You must choose one but you can't use in the battle". Is this referring to online support or something else?

The game forces the user to select a "Support character" (but this can sometimes be blank). However, Rodrigo's rules are asserting the attempt must not use that support character.

Yes, before start a battle you must choose a random online player to join in the battle, but you must complete the quest using your own party, the online player cannot be used!

@admin staff

The entire Arcade Qix track is a complete joke.

The settings are wrong.

The top 3 scores were all written in (from various magazines) on the same weekend !

Basically Joystick magazine and others would give out Twin Galaxies postal address.

Players would then have a "witness" sign off on their high score and mail it in .

These write in scores aka magazine based scores have no place on twingalaxies.com. None.

Why were arcade Qix scores from 1982 added to the TG website 22 years later (2004) as "referee"?

#4 https://archive.org/details/joystik_magazine-1983-04/page/n63

#5 https://archive.org/details/joystik_magazine-1982-11/page/n63

#6 https://archive.org/details/joystik_magazine-1982-09/page/n63

It is very deceptive to have a date that is 22 years off.

It is also misleading to label these to the world as "REFEREE".

If you really want to fix this :

1. TG should change the rules to be identical to the Qix MAME track .

2. The top 6 scores should be removed .

Please advise, thank you.

So another update, more problems? Is it really an update if the update isn't as good theprevious version?

Anyway, @Stephen Daultrey , where you able to add the 10 minute time limit rule to the 4-3 boss fight in Tmnt for the 3DS? Thanks.

Why are the tracks for games (Android Google browser) so large? Wouldn't smaller be better? See more tracks at once, make the pages smaller which means faster load time, etc. They are just so....big. I really preferred the previous to the previous update. I even preferred the previous update to the current update.

I made these rules. Please explain why 10 minutes should be the limit to constantly leech off of the respawns? As the one who created the rules, I do believe I should be made aware of this. I'm not stating the change is good or bad, I just want some information as to why it is limited to 10minutes? I guess you don't use Facebook anymore either? I've kinda quit the whole social scene for a bit but this is a bit serious so I need some input. Thanks bud.


Edit: I can make a track with the additional title to limit the stage to 10 minutes but that wouldn't explain when the 10 minutes actually starts but I do have a little more ability to do this as a derivative track.

I think you were tagged in the first initial post regarding this track over a month ago. At any rate, the reason has more to do with someone could intentionally leach points for 5-6 minutes and not attack the boss, while another player could actually have the boss rng just not be in his favor to actually attack him. So one is leeching, one is bad RNG. I've gone a good minute and 10 seconds without even having the boss come forward for an attack. So rather get into a possible pissing match of "leeching vs not leeching" just making it a flat 10 minute max prevents that.

Also, the spawns of the krang droids is a random number as well, at least I couldn't see or force a pattern. There may very well be. Sometimes it's 2, sometimes it's 4, etc. Keeping your multiplier up while waiting for an opportunity to attack the boss becomes a big factor. I've done this fight about 20 times and I haven't found a way to "force" the boss into a position for attacking or not for attacking.

Basically, there are quite a few random factors for and against the player in this fight that completely taking the objectivity of the adjudicator out of it is the most simple way to adjudicate it without a class of the Titans adjudication scenario.

While the boss can be killed in 5-6 minutes, going for highest score takes skill to keep the multiplier up while waiting for those boss opportunities. Look at Splatter house submissions. Every time someone submits to that game it's a pissing match. However, if that game had a "10 minute boss fight" rule, no one could argue ( haha, yeah right), and it's becomes who can execute the best strategy within the time given.

Definitely nothing wrong with how you created the tracks, I just see it becoming a typical who can get away with more. Time limit for the level prevents that IMO. To me this level could be a speed run, and a time limited points run. Because I could technically attack the boss once every time I have the opportunity and that would point pressing.

10 minutes. Solves a bunch of possible headaches.

  • alarm

The 10 minutes would be the overall time to complete the level. I would say the in game timer that is displayed at the end of the level would be the used time.
