Best Map Algorithm?

[shrode]

What kind of algorithm do you use to determine best map?

The reason I ask is that think 4-0 is better than 3-0

[ryebone]

My guess is by percentage, and if there's a tie then it goes to map that was initially played first (in your case, cave) because it goes into the database first. Complete guess.

i always thought it was average points gained

[shrode]

well it should be reworked!

honestly i have no effing clue. eth did this a while ago. i'll look into it later.

[shrode]

ideally it should should be win% and then if multiple are tied it should go into win count and then lastly average rating change and then if still tied who cares i guess lol.

[nobodyhome]

the problem with that is your win% for a map is inherently tied to whether or not you happen to be overrated or underrated at that moment. i'm not sure there is a good way to resolve this.

just make it the one u have most wins on

would be cool, actually, to be like best map: ball_cave (54-50)

strongly disagree. everybody's best would be roids or cave on tbd.

nah it's not this. I just had my first game as mayhem2 and now it's my 'Best Map' even though I'm still undefeated on cave. I honestly think it's the map with the least games played if it's tied for some broken reason.

Shrode you just want ball_ufo listed as your best map don't you??

[shrode]

ladderlobby imo

[shrode]

Another thing that is related- how does one have a worst map/worst enemy if they are undefeated? That seems silly, and would be solved fairly easily it seems.

if (number_of_losses == 0)
{
     worstMap = "None";
     worstEnemy = "None";
}

I understand this could be complicated by the fact that "None" isn't technically a map, but I'm sure you could figure something out.

Oh, also the reverse should be true for having no wins and bestMap/bestTeammate

Useful code is useful

[shrode]

cause it took so long to type
