so i got 38 new notificaitons, but when i click on them, none show. i then check "all notifications" and the first two pages are blank and just going to them slows things so much i can click on anything and have to close the browser and reopen. this isnt catastrophic, but it is annoying

  • alarm

So any progress on this request... a response is appreciated!

Here's another submission that was accepted but not visible on the scoreboard or factored into the ESI calcuation.

Note the last link is not related to the recent server transitions. It was a score that was accepted while a self-dispute was pending / closed. The new TGSAP approved score never made it to the scoreboard -

The following 4 tracks need these rules added to them:

• Virtua Racing Mode (Fastest Race), Normal Level, Any Transmission, Any Car, and Any Controller configuration.
• The race must be completed for your fastest time to count.

Then, this track that I set up a while ago could use an edit in its rules..

https://www.twingalaxies.com/game/virtua-racing-deluxe/sega-32x/ntsc-acropolis/page/2?ref=fbshare

The following part can be removed from the rules, as it's not needed anymore:

"Note: The other four fastest race tracks with empty rule sets are following these rules as well. Also, this is indeed Virtua Racing Deluxe, although it's incorrectly spelled "Virtual" causing it to appear as two different games on the score board."



Thanks!

Thanks, but one little bit more.. The 4 tracks that you added the rules to need this part removed now:

"This game has no settings for the player to select, therefore no specific rules apply. Please use default settings."

so i think its been reported before, but a certain loser forum troll has learned if he likes and unlikes my stuff over and over again i'll still get the number indicator of notivications, but the fake likes actually override pushed back and hid my real notifications. i get this isnt top priority, just be aware of it

We currently have the following game entry...
https://www.twingalaxies.com/game/berzerk/mame/

... which covers both the fast bullets & slow bullets variations. Note that these are separate ROMsets.

Historically, there was some confusion in the rules about the correct ROMset for each. While this appears to have since been corrected, with the ROMset renames at the newly released version 0.216, it's probably a good time to sort the tracks into separate game entry URLs.

If possible, I propose that the entry above be renamed to...
https://www.twingalaxies.com/game/berzerk-set-1/mame/

... which will house the following FAST BULLET tracks only...
https://www.twingalaxies.com/scores.php?scores=7686
https://www.twingalaxies.com/scores.php?scores=9867
https://www.twingalaxies.com/scores.php?scores=131845
https://www.twingalaxies.com/scores.php?scores=131846


The SLOW BULLET tracks can be moved to a newly created game entry...
https://www.twingalaxies.com/game/berzerk-set-2/mame/

... the relevant tracks being...
https://www.twingalaxies.com/scores.php?scores=7685
https://www.twingalaxies.com/scores.php?scores=131843
https://www.twingalaxies.com/scores.php?scores=131844
https://www.twingalaxies.com/scores.php?scores=131847

Footnote that while the "set 1" & "set 2" descriptors were deprecated at 0.216, the convention used for MAME game entries at TG appears to be to use the titles as known at 0.106, hence my suggestions above.

Thanks.

Track should be deleted. This is not a highest points game, it is a fastest time game. The object is the fastest time to 10 points. You will always score 10 points.

Any more "magic 60s" that need removing?

Score removal via dispute thread does not seem to trigger any automated re-evaluation of the other scores for the same player.

The rules for this track need editing:

https://www.twingalaxies.com/game/taito-legends/playstation-2/ntsc-operation-thunderbolt-points/

The rules state "Munitions at Start = 6 Magazines and 6 Rockets" - but that is not a possible setting. The first rule, "Skill Level = Easy", dictates the settings of all other rules, and for skill level easy, the setting is 8 magazines and 6 rockets.

And as I demonstrate in the video for my recent submission (https://www.twingalaxies.com/showthread.php/211834) there is, in fact, no option available for 6 and 6. The rule is a typo and should be changed to 8 and 6.

As you know , I cannot add a track, anymore it has been over a year. How long do I have to wait, to be able to add a track?


So I am asking @admin staff to help me here Thank you and God Bless you and have a nice weekend
