Hello everyone!
We've been working a lot recently, and a lot of new features finally made it onto the website. This is probably the biggest batch of updates we've shipped in a few months. Without further ado, here are the new additions.
|
|
Revamped demo analysis on the WR page
The analysis block on world record pages got a proper refresh. More techniques are detected, and the chat from the demo is included too - so you can see what was said during the run, not only the movement.
|
|
Comments on every world record
You can now leave a comment directly on a WR. Nice for reacting to a time, or just saying “insane run”!
|
|
Fresh look on some record page sections
A few parts of the record page were cleaned up so it feels less cramped. Same information, just easier to look at.
|
|
Pagination for similar maps and same-author maps
Similar maps and maps by the same author used to stop after a short list. You can now page through all of them, which helps a lot on maps with a huge family of variants.
|
Historical records cleaned up
A lot of old records were corrected, 65 to be precise, and so the overall dataset is closer to reality. It's still not perfect, and that work is ongoing - but it should already feel more trustworthy when you browse old times. This includes many fixes on maps like slD_bside_winter, that have special uppercases in their name, which caused issues.
|
New all-time leaderboard
There's a new all-time leaderboard that lists every record a player has ever done, not only current WRs. You get unique maps, overall percentage share of demos, first and last demos, and a few other stats that are fun to scroll through.

|
New WR technique stats
WR technique stats look at current world records and break down techniques like longjump, bhopjump, jumpbug, or even chat messages. You can browse it per player or per technique: average strafes, sync, distance, and so on, with a link to the exact moment it happened in the demo. Note that this is still work-in-progress, as it is mostly based on reverse engineering the known demo checking tool. Some techniques like longjump are more trustworthy than others.
|
|
New rank 1 history page
The rank 1 history page shows who held #1 on kreedz.com over time. You can see who stayed the longest, how many demos they had, and how the top of the leaderboard moved through the years.

|
|
KZ Servers page improved
The KZ Servers page is faster and now has filters, so it's easier to find a server that actually matches what you want to play.
|
|
New Movies page
There's a Movies page with a lot of films from kreedz.com history. You can search by tag, player, or author instead of digging through old news posts. Clicking on a movie also provides lot of information about the movie (description, songs, players...). Kudos to CyniuThunder for his ongoing work on referencing those.

|
New Polls system
Polls now have a dedicated page with all previous ones, plus a section on the home page. Feel free to leave a vote!
|
|
Demo Analyzer revamp
The demo analyzer got a large revamp and is closer to the traditional demo checking you may know. It's still experimental though; things like edgebug or highjump still have a lot of discrepancies. If you'd like to help, feel free to reach out to g-Lp, it is sometimes hard knowing the math behind a specific technique.

More info on profile pages
On a player's profile you can now check their chatbox comments, news comments, and which movies they made or were part of. Nice if you want the full picture of someone beyond records.
|
And probably more that I forgot!
Overall we spent a lot of time on speed and user experience, so everything should feel smoother. We also kept working on SEO so that maps, records, and the rest of the site show up a bit better in search.
Huge thanks to everyone in the community. Whether you click a button, try a new feature, leave a comment, or just visit the website - that really means everything to us! If you have any feedback or things you'd like to see, do not hesitate to share them in the comments :)
