Some recent multiplayer playtesting from my ̵a̵n̵i̵m̵e̵ ̵f̵i̵g̵h̵t̵i̵n̵g̵ ̵p̵o̵n̵g̵ ̵ tennis game. Alpha's available for free at sovgott.itch.io/paddlepunks.

@tangentarine Hopefully I'll get some time this weekend to work on it!

@tangentarine I've sadly been pretty busy this month. Basically, the issues are with the server, not the actual rating update code itself. Some updates broke the steam runtime on it and I need to figure out how to restore it to working order in order for it to pull data.

@sov_gott_games hey theo, didn't see an issue made so just checking in, is ratings update down?

@MorganHeartland Yep, the server broke but I didn't have time to deal with it over easter.

@sov_gott_games are you gonna fix ranking update ?

@ivy_sly_ The actual thing being called is Delegate.Combine.

@ivy_sly_ I suspect it's because they were originally just there to work with event handling, delegates in general are highly tied to them. If I'm not misremembering we had "typed" delegates before Action and Func were provided. Kinda like having record types without tuples.

why can you do this

@JuanitozWay This indicates high uncertainty about the outcome. If it's "80%?" then the function to determine odds is basically going "I dunno maybe 80%" If one or both players have high deviation then the result is less certain

@sov_gott_games What about the ? by the odds number…

@sov_gott_games I just wanted to ask how come I lose so much elo but I get soooo little when I win?

@JuanitozWay The amount of points gained or lost also depends on your deviation. You can play around with ratingupdate.info/rating_calcula… to get a feel for how it works.

@sov_gott_games Sometimes though I’ve had it be the opposite where I’m fighting some with a way higher elo but I still only get like 12 pts for the set.

@shiburizu I was actually looking for this feature a few weeks back to show how it works to some friends and was disappointed to see they didn't have it - glad it's implemented now.

Challonge FINALLY lets you make Swiss into cutoff elim bracket in a single tournament!!!

@Rayane_ROR Whoops, yeah, haven't updated that one in a while!

Website's updated for the changes, go get that first elphelt spot in the leaderboard

ratingupdate is up on a new server now, hopefully it's relatively stable. People's ratings have decayed in the time it was down so you'll experience slightly larger swings but not by much.

@EvilMadii Yeah, halvnykterist

Site seems to have trouble pulling replays, going to miss some games until I get it working again.

@Ashi_Vrchat No, deviation only goes up over time. Playing games always decreases it since the system becomes more sure about how good you are. Winning games against players your skill level or better is generally the best way to gain rating though.

@sov_gott_games So winning more games against players my skill level or higher will increase my deviation?

@sov_gott_games You probably get this alot sorry, but why am i getting so little score compared to other people on wins? (first is one of my games, i have 1200 games) (second is someone else with over 900 games)

@Ashi_Vrchat ±53 which you have is low, the system is very certain that you're at about the right rating and won't change it very much without good cause. Your opponent is ±253 which means it basically has no idea how good they really are and playing against someone like that isn't much info.

@Ashi_Vrchat The amount of points you gain or lose depends on both your deviation (the ± number) as well as your opponent's. This naturally increases over time, since the game gets less certain about your skill if you don't play.

@DepizzoDominic Website was having stability issues yesterday and might have missed some games

@sov_gott_games Hey, I think my profile in rating update is broken? It says the last guy I played was “Papa Squishy” but I played a lot more players after him.

ratingupdate seems to be running fine now after a version bump, hope this patch helps with the online experience
