[Implemented] Percentage of all players at the end of a song

[EvilAngel00]

Hey!

Little story of my life first and then actual suggestion :p

A week ago, there was a huge LAN at my school and this LAN is known for having a lot of small tournaments on small games that give points for an overall classification (the higher you are, bigger the prizes are). So I wanted to suggest Stepmania as a game we could play but I lacked time to test a safe environnement of play.

So here I am, I already knew about SMO but never really got in depth into it. And today I finally installed everything and I liked it. Except the fact that we can't see the scores of all players at the end of a song

I know that not everyone uses the same version of Stepmania but I know there is an .xls spreadsheet where we can manually input the steps judgements we got and it gives us the actual percentage (based on ITG calculation). Is it a possible feature to implement ?

I don't really know what the server gets from the players but judging by the fact that we can see the stats of the other players, I guess that it is possible to calculate an overall percentage based on that.

Thanks in advance for your feedback

I assume you are talking about the list of names to the right while playing a song in the game.

I know it is kind of silly, but it is possible with the way it is currently programmed to know how far they are into the song. The server itself gets a notification of when everyone started and if the song has been played before it can start a timer based on the song length.

In the song table in the database there isn't a column for notecount because it isn't determined until after they finish and send the score.

Assuming the server is waiting for everyone to start at the same time it seems like everyone should finish at the same time too. At least within a few seconds.

Either that list or the list at the end of the song (during the score screen).

From what I've seen so far, the list during the song shows the maximum possible note based on how good we are doing (I start with 4 stars but if I get an ex, I drop to 3 stars maximum possible note, etc...). Actually I don't really mind that system, but I would really like to have the percentage in the list at the end of a song. I saw it is calculated in the database when I go to a song I played, so my question was, is it possible to show that value in game, to every player ?

Exactly like that:

It isn't possible to show those percentages until the song is over. It doesn't know the total number of dance points until that point.

Hmm. I thought he meant like at the end, it shows the percentage that you got, but it stays the same for everyone else, and you can't see it.

Like on sm5, it shows your % on the bottom by the diff. It would say for example. 92.34% for you, but when you check someone elses score, it shows the same % even though it's obviously not the same at all.

Yes, I meant at the end of the song

Just to be able to see who did better because I would want to organize a tournament over SMO (well not tomorrow, it would be for april 2013 ). In the picture I sent, the song is over and we can see the scores of all the players. Actually this is a LAN ITG developped by an italian player where he can link 4 cabinets and 8 players can play simultaneously with real-time update of the scores. For what I'm asking, I don't need the real-time update (as you suggest, it's not possible at all) but I just want to be able to see the percentage of every player in one single screen (at the end)

[Izzy]

Ah yea. that scorelist is being sorted by dance percentage so those numbers are definitely right there. I'm not sure if it is a themeing issue or something on our end though. I'll as houkounchi when I can.

[EvilAngel00]

Any updates on that ?

We are discussing it currently, I think we are just gunna try to add it after the song is played to the chat box.

[EvilAngel00]

Okay!

Thanks for the feedback

The only string sent back to the clients is the modifiers so I added a percentage in the modifiers when you see the list at the end. This is about the best we can do other than chat in the room after the song is over.

[EvilAngel00]

The scores in the chat room would be great for what I need (reminder: it's for a tournament, and I want to be able to see the scores of everyplayer in one single place ).

Thanks for taking the time to do that
