Testers needed

Post by -=VcL.Rajinn »

I am testing out a popular game ladder script that may even be used in tournaments or ladles some day if it works out like i think it will, or, maybe even be used for all clans to challenge each other and let the site keep up with rankings/wins/loses/scores.

http://vcl-clan.com/tc/index.php

Tron Challenge is the site name.

Login, create a team, and challenge someone smile.gif

It looks like one of those things that's just overly complicated at first, but maybe if you get rid of some of the superfluous features, it can be really good.

No, it isn't complicated, just takes some getting used to like anything new that you haven't seen before does. :P

EDIT: Cleaned the front page up a bit to make it look less intimidating to n00bs :P

Bug 1: The checkbox during registration says 'I'm 16 or older', if you don't check it, the error says 'you're not 13 or older'.
Dunno if this is a bug or intended behaviour, but I invited myself to a team and accepted. Umm, and now I'm the member of team "".

Holy shit, 600px max profile image width?

Also, are there docs on the system? I'm especially interested in whether it would be possible to automatically make match results known to it.

I'm confused... how did you invite yourself to my team and then accept it? It wont let me do that...

And i dunno what you mean by the last part.

You probably can't do that because you have a real team. All I did was
-register
-log in
-see my name on the invite list
-invite myself
-accept the invitation.

And by the last part I mean that 600px is still frigging large for an avatar.

Oh, whew, I thought you could send an invite to someone else and then it lets you invite yourself to the other team. Inviting yourself to your team isn't going to do anything anyway.

I see email addresses all over the place (Z-Man: .e TLD?). Intended?

Don't know if that's the case here, but some forums have a profile image separate from an avatar.

Which reminds me, this phpBB needs a hack that requires coprime image dimensions for avatars. We could then raise the maximum to annoy mathophobic-megavatarors.

One feature I liked was that when I created a test account to challenge the other team I created (considered cheating) it canceled it and contacted an admin stating their was cheating going on. Also won't let you register accounts more than once with the same IP, or perhaps it uses a cookie to identify whether you have registered or not before ;)

Another great feature :)
