The new decimal system - an interview with omilo

By chrizZo·
As you've already noticed XJ is maybe planing to change the current demo system regarding the time. The current poll is already dealing with this question. That's why I met up with omilo to give you some information and some arguments for and against the change to a new system. Maybe you can form an opinion (if you haven't already done that) about the poll question while reading this little interview.

gonna read it later but big kiss to hazard for his spam, because that's why it's discussed again.

16/11/2009 22:16:00

ohai

16/11/2009 22:21:00

Its also my spam RemaKe`, I take 80% of the credit! Anyways I think its a GREAT THING that admins took this to consideration and I would just love my testicles if this was implemented.

If you need more arguments for the change check this thread out: http://xtreme-jumps.eu/e107_plugins/forum/forum_viewtopic.php?185605 . And there are good arguments for it in the poll comments.

You should have decimals!

+1 nikola ;]

By the way about that "more work for admins"-comment that everyone has is without a doubt true, but it will stabilize at some point, when the short maps are owned to the "lowest time possible". The long maps will still very likely be beaten by full seconds just as it was before, and the decimal system wont cause that much extra work except in the beginning of the implementation.

do big maps old system , maps under "0100" wr's decimels system. :) and we will see that will hapen.

16/11/2009 22:50:00

3ss, it should be all or nothing in my opinion. It wouldn't make sense that maps under 1 min get the decimal system since theoretically you can find shortcuts in a 20 min map like kz_world and do it in 12 seconds. Bad example but hey, who gives a fuck. Anyways, decimals for life!

16/11/2009 22:59:00

Yes, decimals all the way.

16/11/2009 23:05:00

ye , u right. but i think about this changes must talk only record holders , admins , old school players or players who can do wr's. it's my basic opinion. :)

17/11/2009 00:09:00

3ss anyone can do a wr if they tried to, and i think this would help accomplish that. only thing i would wonder is how do people check the realtime? agree with omilo. more change in fast maps is a good thing imo

17/11/2009 00:40:00

Nikola gave the full explication !

17/11/2009 00:52:00

formula 1 has decimals too and just this makes the competition. so welcome decimals.

17/11/2009 01:22:00

To be fair, but will lose the meaning of 30s maps Because every second on behalf of a person to bring new skills on 30...29..28....27....5...4...3... seconds Maps If you begin to decimal, the study skills, no longer has any meaning.As long as the wait for the emergence of new techniques , take the time to record the demo, and make quick 0.01 or 0.02 Miao I really can not imagine a situation in this uninteresting Although I never recorded less than one minute map haha

17/11/2009 01:25:00

n1 nikola

17/11/2009 01:35:00

Well!! +1 ~ ~ ~ Because maybe I can take the time to get one I was able to complete all skills, 30 seconds Map XD

17/11/2009 02:32:00

syler, in f1, they "geeked" cars to perfection, and spend millions on .1s a lap. they only get slowed down from the fia, and unless xj plans on banning stand ups for safety, its not really the same thing =D but i wouldn't mind seeing more fast maps broken more often.

Great, things are looking good. <3 omilo A suggestion (don't know if it's possible, but it would be less work for demoadmins): If we're gonna get a new program solely for checking the times on demos, it would be a cool feature to have a script in submitdemos.php that reads the times on the demos (for admins only ofc) so they can see the times when they either hold their mouse on the demos, or just next to them. This way they can just throw away a lot of demos without getting through the trouble of downloading, checking, blabla...

17/11/2009 08:12:00

another good news gj all Nikola <3

17/11/2009 10:07:00

ok, then we need a new timer, I mean timer which you dont have to push for start, Im talking about start lines or something, Its annoying to care about pushing timer if you want to get the fastest WR

17/11/2009 13:56:00

Made a post to the poll showing and explaining the concerns I'm still having.

17/11/2009 14:51:00

kz might be ruined.

17/11/2009 15:12:00

No it wont-.-

17/11/2009 15:12:00

It's a good change. This is more fair to the recorders who actually are faster than the previous record without having to hope to be lucky with an inaccurate ingame timer.

17/11/2009 15:29:00

i think xj should consider using only the first digit after the "." like 0019.9 shnz and 19.7 skizzo(for the earlier example)

17/11/2009 15:31:00

agreed ova :)

17/11/2009 16:27:00

new dr phil!

17/11/2009 18:29:00

no way

17/11/2009 19:08:00

+1 for 7d !

18/11/2009 01:25:00

[blockquote]Aaaand if they need help i'll step in myselfe. So it would be 3 admins.[/blockquote] You better get ready.
