Stats, skill level... Options

[Jester]

I don't really understand the skill system in the stats... I have like 36 skill with a 1.5 ratio when guys with a negative ratio have skill points in the hundreds. It just doesn't really make sense to me.

Skill points are based on the kills / deaths received and weapon / location the kill was done

Each location and weapon are given a weighting

Skill = kill Skill - Death Skill - Suicide Skill

Kill Skill = Sum (Kills with a weapon * weapon weight) +
Sum (Kills to a location * location weight)

Death Skill = Sum (Kills with a weapon * weapon weight) +
Sum (Kills to a location * location weight)

Suicide Skill = 2.5 * Number suicides

so .....
If you had killed 3 people with an mp44, 1 head shot and 2 upper arm
and had died 3 times with a m1garand all head shots
and had killed yourself twice

following are the weapon rates
mp44=1
m1garand=2

location weights
head=5
upper arm=1

your kill skill would be
(3 * 1) + <--- 3 kills with an mp44
(1 * 5) + (2 * 1) <--- 1 head shot + 2 arm shots
= 10
your death skill would be
(3 * 2) + <--- 3 deaths by an m1garand
(3 * 5) <---- 3 deaths by headshot
=21

Suicide Skill would be
2.5 * 2
= 5

total skill would be
10 - 21 - 5
=-16

While I was looking up this info I found a post on the Serverstats site discussing a few mistakes in the skill modifier setup. I'll look at making a few changes over the next few days.
