Skill with this version of MohStats don't mean much. The next version skill will be based on who you kill. You kill a good player your skill rating goes up a lot, kill a newb and it barely goes up if at all. -------------------- Not a word was spoken to contradict or disagree with S@bot when he called me a.... bully, dictator, snide, hypocrite, arrogant, smartass and lets not forget, according to him the way I act is reprehensible.

I don't think any weight should be given to # of kills. Why should someone with no life that playes 30-40 rounds a day score higher than me and only has something like a 1.2 ratio? (not picking on anyone in particular, I'm just sayin') I think the best criterion are weapon, body hit location, ratio, and who you kill This post has been edited by Busta Nut: 04/27/04 6:04pm --------------------

Anyone can spend very little time visiting a server at the right times to avoid better players and get great scores. Thus, the more you play the much better chance of seeing the better players while trying to maintain a high kill/death ratio. Anyway, that's my take on it.

IIRC you also get skill boosts for ending kill streaks. EDIT: from the official site: Current weapon skill quotients (from weapons.txt): Pistol Whip 4.0 Pistol 2.0 Rifle 1.5 Sniper Rifle 1.0 Sub-Machine Gun 1.0 Machine Gun 1.0 Rocket 0.5 Shotgun 0.8 Grenade 1.0 Rifle Grenade 1.5 Gravity 0.5 Landmine 0.5 This quotients are adjustable from weapons.txt in program directory. After that number of death is calculated the same way. Number is suicides is calculated. Quotients for suicides are 1/kill_quotient. So for rocket it is 2 and 0.5 for pistol (if someone can kill himself with a pistol) Ratio is calculated as kills / (deaths + suicides) Skill is kills * ratio)) Skill is calculated as kills * (kills / (deaths + suicides)) if (deaths + suicides = 0) then skill = 0 This post has been edited by Shifty: 04/27/04 6:52pm --------------------

Anyway, that's my take on it.

that's the point, these palyers AREN'T holding high ratios throughout. Let's say i play 5 rounds and have a 7 to 1 ratio and i get mad points for that. And you play 100 rounds with a 2 to 1 ratio and get less points. You still surpass me in body location points, weapon points and "who you kill" points. # of kills will probably always indirectly affect stats, I'm just saying don't make it a factor in and of itself. emsayin'.

He has a beta version of his new stats program out. This weekend I'll run a few days worth through the old copy and through the new beta copy. Then everyone can get an idea of the difference it will make. -------------------- Not a word was spoken to contradict or disagree with S@bot when he called me a.... bully, dictator, snide, hypocrite, arrogant, smartass and lets not forget, according to him the way I act is reprehensible.
