Official: SSBPD unsupported; source code released.

[PGH Carroll]

I got a bunch of stuff to upload. If I could get my mod thing back so I can fix minor things and proscess them that would be super radtabular

 

[Nintendude]

Carroll I'll have to pass on the word to FoxLisk via skype later. He doesn't read smashboards anymore.

edit: Carroll you have mod powers now.

 

[xKobayashi]

yes! at kels being the highest ranking fox
i barely knew about him

 

[PGH Carroll]

how do I delete a tourney? I uploaded one and it said no entrants. i feel like this isnt the fist time this has happened

This almost always happens because for the "Game Played" section in Tio, it was either blank or not Melee. The only person that can delete an upload is FoxLisk. But you should be able to re upload the file after adding the game played section.

 

[DoH]

How long does it take for tournaments to get uploaded and stuff? I sent one in last week but it hasn't made it up there yet

 

[Redd]

I sent five in last week... nothing.

 

[Strong Badam]

A moderator has to approve it. Please be patient.

 

[DoH]

It's my first time! Don't yells

 

[Strong Badam]

 

[Slhoka]

Assuming it works, I'll approve a few tournaments tomorrow.

 

[Solaris1110]

I'm guessing it doesn't work?

 

[Slhoka]

I'm guessing it doesn't work?

I don't know, I ended up not being able to have an access to a computer using windows for the last few days, so I couldn't use tio to do it.
I'll try it ASAP (most likely during the weekend).

 

[Zivilyn Bane]

To the people who are worried/wondering about this project:

It will be going through some changes in the coming months. Please continue to upload new .tio files as they come along. They will likely not get processed and Elo will not be updated, but at least this way they are still saved to a central hub to be used for when we get this project moving again.

 

[Dan Salvato]

What is the current issue in processing .tio files?

 

[Zivilyn Bane]

What is the current issue in processing .tio files?

The main issue is that the creator FoxLisk is the only one with the powers to actually run the Elo, and he has lost interest.

 

[Nintendude]

To clarify, he's the only one that has access to ratings recalculation.

 

[The Good Doctor]

Then why have the site at all?
Lol

 

[Nintendude]

It's still currently an excellent database of past tournament results, which is arguably more important than the ratings aspect of it.

 

[The Good Doctor]

Would it be hard for him to transfer those powers to one of you, so we can make the ELO matter?

 

[Fortress | Sveet]

Foxlisk has told us that he will release his source so that we can continue this project. TOs should keep uploading results now, it will help us down the road.

 

[Nintendude]

Would it be hard for him to transfer those powers to one of you, so we can make the ELO matter?

You'd be surprised how difficult that has been lol

 

[Nintendude]

oooooops
10char

 

[TheCrimsonBlur]

Yeah, once we make this open source things can really hit the ground running. It was unrealistic to expect Foxlisk to do that much work on his own.

Whoever gets administrative control should keep things as transparent as possible; the smash community has proven to be rather efficient with group projects (project M)

 

[PGH Carroll]

Tim duncan dropping the truth

 

[Juggleguy]

It's gonna take a group effort not just to get the site fully functional again, but to regain that lost momentum the project had.

 

[Fortress | Sveet]

Don't be so pessimistic. Motivation seems fairly high right now and it appears we even have a complete team. Check the MBR forums for more, rob

 

[Purpletuce]

From an outside perspective, it appears that this project has been shut down for about half a year, when I first started smash I thought this was cool, but it has turned into nothing. Doesn't have a website for a long time -> doesn't seem to work at all for a long time -> seems to only half work for a long time. . .

Now I find out most of the project is run by one person who lost interest? Looks bad, really bad.

Good idea though.

 

[Zivilyn Bane]

Understandable that it wouldn't look too good. For now, lets look at the SSBPD as a rough draft. The final product is going to be amazing. We are working on it still, so be patient and await its awesomeness.

 

[Fortress | Sveet]

Yeah we have high aspirations for the final product. SSBPD was simply a first step.

 

[TheCrimsonBlur]

Yeah, I still think this is the greatest idea ever.

But the project just needs a new leader, and the work ought to be distributed more evenly. I really hope you all don't just keep everything in the backroom after he hands administrative privileges over.

Just have a couple trusted developers head the project, each with commit access, and host it on a git. Open source management is designed to be less strenuous on the maintainer, and that is vital for this project's long-term success.

 

[Fortress | Sveet]

There are already talks of the project being open source.

 

[Dan Salvato]

There are already talks of the project being open source.

I don't see why it wouldn't be. The community would only benefit from it and we're not trying to sell anything. SSBMO will later be open-source.

 

[baka4moé]

any chance we could have the full FC results on record too? idk how much kish has tho...

 

[PGH Carroll]

Bump to get this rollin again!!
BASED FOXLISK! SAVE US!!

 

[Mahie]

It is on the roll, just from a team of developers instead of just Foxlisk, and it'll take a little while.

 

[Twin_A]

subscribing. This is cool :D

 

[PGH Carroll]

how does one go about taking the sets from a player at one tourney and switching them to the real player

"Kitty" from carrollfest is "kittyMW"

the other tourneys under Kitty are some other kitty

 

[Stylez]

I would definitely help with this if it's needed. The programming I do at work is getting really....boring

I like to refer to it as FresYES. It's much more positive.
