i thought i might post the first post in the thread detailing some of the rules in #battle, and also giving some help for noobs to find the place.

How to get in?
Do you want to get in #battle? It's easy, just connect to your Internet Service Provider's ircnet server and join channel #battle. The best irc program for beginners is probably mIRC, get it at www.mirc.com.

some rules:
-no flooding
-no colors
-no idiocy (u'll notice if ur too idiotic)
-op begging is not allowed
-there's few words that aren't allowed. (you'll find out which :))
-when playing battles you are allowed to change topic (putting level link there, and some other basic info if you want to)


hmm, that sums up the rules.

ppl with operator status are usually Antz, Cyre, Cloud, MagnusB, Karlis, and a few others.

#battle isn't as tightly moderated as #across but don't think you can mongo around forever there either.


to arrange a battle just make a level and ask in the channel whether there's people willing to play. now that the community has gotten bigger there's players almost around the clock. you can upload your level to your own web page, or if you don't have or want to, to http://vk.mine.nu/vkprivupload.php and http://sectorzero.zapto.org/pubupload/

remember that this is for fun. there's no points counted or anything (except of course the fame that comes from winning), that's for more serious contests.



to keep your excitement up
MORE TO COME LATER!
including
-shocking interviews
-devestating revelations (laazy battling nude?!!)
-embarrasing quotes (20:49 <???> i whane some hot ass <- who said this?!!)

Plans

1. We are working on a new system for telling your times. Instead of writing times directly in the channel as you do now, you will write your time to a bot. The bot will immediatly print the time together with your name in #battle. The reason why we want to do this is because it will greatly simplify making the battle statistics. Hopefully this will work out.

2. In the future we hope to be able to supply both the levels battled on and the winning recs here.

Slow battling day today. Note that 2fast is only 2 levels away from having made 100. Quite impressive, especially considering how short time he's been making levels.

Plans
The battlebot is constantly being worked on, and it has in fact already become a lot more extensive than what I had in mind. However, there's still a lot of work to be done, hopefully it will be ready this week, but I really can't promise anything. Read this post if you don't know what I'm talking about.

The Battles Won "championship" is actually very tight at the moment, with more than 5 people within reach of the top spot. The same can not be said about the Levels list, on which 2fast, despite today's valiant effort by 8-ball, is in a league of his own.

Regarding the Battlebot. I'm pretty much a newbie to scripting, yet I've managed to do everything necessary so far (with some help). One thing has me stumped, however; how to sort the times people post and post them in a list at the end of the battle (yes, the bot will hopefully do that). I have a certain idea of how to do it, but I'm unsure if I'll be able to. If you can and are willing to help me with this, please contact me on irc. Thanks.

Yeah, battlebot.

Stini and Markku are now tied for the lead with 9 wins each. STAY TUNED!!!!!11
Another good level-making day for players with nicks starting with numbers. 8-ball made an impressive 8 levels, 2fast, who still has more than twice as many levels as 8-ball in second, was today's runner-up with 4 levels.

Edit: 8-ball not Estonian. Sorry.
Edit2: Missed one battle by 8-ball, won by Markku.

I did very many stats at the same time, so there's a very good chance that there are errors in here.

Markku really distanced himself from the rest of the winners. He's performed well for several days, but the day when he really excelled was the 18th, with 8 victories. Interestingly enough, a fair share of these victories were made on 8-ball levels. Draw your own conclusions from that.

8-ball has caught up with 2fast. It must be said, however, that 8-ball's levels are horribly mass-produced. Sometimes they're a bit too quick, even for battle levels. Still, 14 levels in one day is impressive no matter what.

Approximate Battlebot Progress: 75%

I haven't worked any more on the battlebot. I'll get it done eventually, but maybe not very soon. If there's someone out there who wants to do the whole thing himself, that would be fine (by "fine", I mean "wonderful").

* I'm not 100% sure about the distribution of levels between Bonobo and DrPepper. I know that at least some, maybe all, are by DrPepper. I know this because Bonobo sometimes said so before posting a level, but when he didn't say who had made the level I assumed that he (Bonobo) had made them himself. Maybe he can clear this up.

Very good battling day today, the best so far during the stats gathering actually.

Markku is still leading by a lot in Battles Won, but behind him the competition is fierce. Stini is still clinging on to the second place, despite not having won any battles today. John was today's winner with 4 won battles.

2fast took back the Levels Made yellow shirt** from 8-ball by the smallest margin possible. Meanwhile, cyre has advanced to the front of the main heat. Perhaps we'll see soon if the breakaways will succumb to fatigue and be caught up with by the rest of the riders (ok, enough cycling analogies).

A tiny clarification about the bot:

Disregard what I said in my first post, you will not post your time in private to the bot. In fact, the battling process will be almost completely unchanged, except you will have to follow some tiny rules regarding the format of your time.

The time you post must:
  1. be the first word of the line (for example 17:58 sux will work, sucky 17:58 will not)
  2. not contain any other characters (¨17:58 or 17:58, sux will not work)
  3. follow a particular format...
Time format:
- x:xx if your time is under 10 seconds. (E.g 9:32)
- xx:xx if your time is between 10 seconds and 1 minute[/b]. (E.g 48:96)
- x:xx:xx if your time is over 1 minute. (E.g 1:53:19)
The x's represent any number from 0 to 9. The : (colon) can also be a , (comma) or a . (period).


If all this sounds intimidating, don't worry. It will be exactly as before.
The bot has some others features as well, type /msg battlebot !help in any window while you're connected to IRCnet, and the bot will list all its command (if it is online at the time). Note that some of the functions may be unavailable.

* I'm still not sure about this DrPepper/Bonobo stuff.
** No, there's no such thing.

Markku is still maintaining a solid lead among the winners. Stini couldn't decrease the gap to the sovereign Finn, and had to see himself caught up with by Jalli. 40 different players are now involved in the race for most battles won.

Meanwhile, 2fast broke away from 8-ball again, now leading by 7 levels. Bonobo seized the 3rd place, but is far behind the two leaders.

I'm pleased to announce that the battlebot, although still not finished, is being used in #battle. My theory - that players who do not use the bot will be told by those who do to do so - appears to be correct (to be honest I formed that theory right now, but that does not affect its validity).

The DrPepper/Bonobo ordeal has (technically) been solved. DrPepper sent me a PM, (which, by the way, was extremely verbose) explaining that 4 of the bontllxx.lev's are his. Even though it's unsure if all of these levels have been used it battles yet, I will simply clear the matter up by giving DrPepper 4 levels and Bonobo the rest. There will most likely be some errors regarding which days which levels were played, but, seriously, who cares?

If you find any errors in the standings, drop me a PM. You will have to supply some kind of evidence of that something has been counted wrong, IRC logs from the actual battle event are recommended (if you deem it necessary).

Nothing special happened in today's standings, except for Jeppe taking the 2nd place of the winners from Stini. Markku sits safely on his throne.

No sign of 8-ball today, nothing much to say about today's levels.

If you find any errors in the standings, drop me a PM. You will have to supply some kind of evidence of that something has been counted wrong, IRC logs from the actual battle event are recommended (if you deem it necessary).

* Note that axxu made one more level, but it sucked so bad that no one could finish it, even after the battle was over. Ironically, this battle was tonight's most interesting battle, in particular because of all the witty axxu-bashing. Nothing personal of course, but the level really was THAT horrible.

MagnusB won a whopping 7 battles today, and now shares the 2nd place with Jeppe and Stini. Markku is still a good deal ahead.

2fast's only real competitor, 8-ball, hasn't made any levels lately. This has allowed 2fast to regain some of the huge advantage he used to have, he's now leading by 42 levels to 8-ball's 31.

If you find any errors in the standings, drop me a PM. You will have to supply some kind of evidence of that something has been counted wrong, IRC logs from the actual battle event are recommended (if you deem it necessary).

Both of the days reported have been record breaking. First a new record of 23 battles played was made the 28th, and then it was broken with 24 the following day.

Jalli won an impressive 10 battles total, and moved right into 2nd place. However, there's still a great leap up to Markku. J-sim also climbed a lot, mostly thanks to his 6 victories the 29th.

FrenZy made no less than 9 levels the 28th, as well as 3 the 29th. This earned him a 3rd place in the total standings. 2fast made 9 battles during these two days, and passed 50 levels total during the stats gathering, which is basically out of reach for everyone. He really knows how to make A LOT of levels quickly, and many of them are excellent for their purpose (read: höylable).

* There was one level by axxu that no one completed (it was a pipe level); I'm still giving the win to Jalli, who (surprise surprise) was closest.

On the 30th, Jeppe won 7 battles and FrenZy made 7 levels. However, neither of them came much closer to catching up with Markku and 2fast, respectively. It's 4am and I'm pretty tired of making battle stats so I hope you'll forgive me for not writing any more than this.

Edit: Fixed error, thanks Ismo.

Markku is the best battler ever. It's that simple. Out of the approximately 18 battles he has participated in the last couple of days he has only lost (not won) 2. It's not just that he wins, he is also frequently so overwhelming that he completely discourages his opponents, often winning by several seconds (this depends on the length of the level of course). It's gotten to the point where you'll hear people saying, or at least thinking (in which case you'll not hear it), "what's the use, Markku will win anyway" in the middle of battles. It's a notable event in #battle when someone beats Markku, and it's taken for granted that he will win. 32 battles were played the last two days, Markku won 16 of them. That's 50%. Zweq, Orcc and Jalli were the only others to win more than 1 battle (they won 2), 10 other players won 1 battle.
Markku has a total of 59 won battles. Jalli is in second with 30, meaning that Markku is 1 victory short of having twice as many as him.

2fast made 5 levels the 2. and one more on the 3. He now has a total of 73, and frankly, no one seems to be capable of ever catching up with him. 8-ball has stagnated completely, and FrenZy in third place has less than a third of the levels 2fast has. Congratulations to our level making machine, 2fast.
In other news, dz entered the race with 6 levels August 3rd, and cyre captured the fourth place.

With an astonishing 29 battles played, August 4th broke the previous record of most battles by far. The 5th seemed more like a painful hangover from the day before, with only 14 battles.

Markku won 10 battles on the 4th, Jalli won 7. The next day, Markku won "only" 3 while Jalli won 7 again. In total, Jalli won 14 and Markku 13, but Jalli is still 28 wins behind in the standings. Apart from those two guys, only Jeppe and Zweq won more than one battle in these two days.

2fast won the 4th - the levels were very evenly spread out between different people on this day - with 5 battles. The 5th was worthy of notice in that it was the first time in more than two weeks that 2fast didn't make a single level. In his place, Jonas dominated with 7 levels.

cyre has, after having released 50 levels to be battled on (his levels are the Battl0r levels), made statistics from all the battles. I believe it's unprecedented in battle stats history that someone has not only made stats over the winners, but over everyone who participated in the battle. See the stats and download the levels here.

Battlebot was out of order for a couple of days of this reporting period, and there was a distinctly lower amount of battles during that period. It seems that people have gotten quite dependent on the bot already. It's back up now (and now it also does the results for the battle), but there's still some work that needs to be done (there always is).

Markku is ruling as usual. The only day he didn't completely outbattle everyone else was the 7th, on which he had to share the most battles won title with Jalli. Jalli is Markku's only real contender, but he's 44 wins behind in the standings. Markku will soon reach 100 wins.

2fast has made a habit of making about 3-5 levels every day. He made a total of 14 levels in the last 4 days, cyre followed with 6 levels. In the standings, 2fast is only one level short of having 3 times as many as 8-ball (who hasn't made a level in more than two weeks and still keeps his second place spot).

I'm posting here to remind you that two mopobattles will be played today. One at 18:00 EET (that's about 45 minutes from when I posted this), and another at 20:00 EET. Good luck.

The main channel #battle at IRCnet, is not serving you at the moment what comes to the battlebot. Instead, use #elmabattle for more exciting battles. We'll inform you when the the regular channel is in use again (if you don't want to check by yourself).

Keep on battling! :wink:

To clarify, we had to move to #elmabattle because everyone except Rawl lost op. Rawl, if you read this for some reason, please come to #battle.

The battlebot itself is not working at the moment either (I'm working on it right now). With some luck it'll be up by the end of the day. I haven't done battle statistics in some days because I need the logs from cyre's bot packard0, but neither cyre nor packard0 have been in #battle for a while. No need to panic (like you were going to), I'll get it done eventually.

Lastly, two mopobattles today. One at 19:00 and one at 23:59 (both EET). Be there, and don't forget to send rec. Some people have been banned for one battle (don't ask me who, skint0r knows) for repeatedly telling their times in #mopobattle but not sending rec after the battle. This creates a lot of extra work for skint0r, and it's unfair to everyone who got a better time than you. Good luck.

Mopobattle level #58 (by skint0r), which was arranged earilier today, was very nice level as a "battle" level. It was a pleasure to look at, as well as to play.

The winner was MP, once again. He has won three of the last five battles. I wonder if hes already catched me. :D
Second, with exactly same time losing to MP because telling time later, was Raider. He has done also pretty good. During last three battles hes been participated, he has been twice second and once seventh. Note, that the other second place was a loss to MP as well. ;)
Strong battlers LazY and Markku taking third and fourth places.

All in all, competition is still pretty tight, eventhough for some reason the number of competitors is not as high as it was earlier. I guess the reason for it is the lack of information. At the moment, pretty much the only place you can find about mopobattle dates is from skint0r's temprary mopobattle page. You can also check this topic, we try to inform you here as well. Also you can find out about next battles visiting #across and #mopobattle at ircnet. They should have times at the channel topic.

Mopobattle level #60 (by BarTek)

The scene of the level was brake+drop from high speed halfloops falling all the way to the bottom floor avoiding the annoy killers. It can be wheter pretty neat or quite stupid at the same time, depends on the person. I didn't like it too much but it was okay because I happened to win it HEHE!Z

Second was Jalli, not a suprise. Next three places by De||y, Sick_Mambo and Ismo.

Next mopobattle in 1 hour 40 minutes, at 21:00 EET today.
#mopobattle

Have phun.

Two mopobattles have been played earlier today. Unsurprisingly, MP won both. He's winning pretty much everything nowadays. Both levels were made by BarTek; both of them were decent, but could've been better.

There is another battle at 01:00 EET (omglate), about an hour and a half from when I'm writing this.

Battlebot News

Possible features:
  • Statistics, lots of statistics. My "dream" is to have an automatically updated site where you can find stats about players, teams, countries, individual battles, most battles won, most levels made, total users, etc... Of course, this is really, really, far into the future.
  • New "battle types":
    • Normal battle (obviously)
    • Impsy battle (e.g pipe levels, levels where players are expected to pick x apples, and not necessarily finish)
    • Tournament - multiple battles played in quick succession
    • Mystery battle - some of you may have tried this one already; channel is moderated, times are posted to battlebot, results posted in #battle when battle is finished.
  • The !user view command is not currently working, I'm going to add some new stuff for it (i.e the ability to view stats for teams and countries as well as individual users. In the end I'm going to make it a part of the !stats command.)
  • The aforementioned !stats command does not work at all, and since I'd rather try to make the stats site I mentioned, it's pretty far down on my "to do" list.
Known issues:
  • If someone says a time with which they would've won the battle, but then correct it a time with which they would not win, they still win because the way the winner is found is currently very silly. I've known how to fix this bug easily for ages, but I'm too lazy to actually do it. Besides, this doesn't happen very often.
  • There's an issue with the alignment of the times in the results posted in #battle by the bot at the end of the battle. I can fix this too, but again, I'm too lazy. This is a small, unimportant issue, which no one cares about, or indeed, is aware of.
  • Many many many other small, unimportant bugs.
Other stuff:
If you have any suggestions or questions or know about any bugs, send a PM here or message me on IRC, and I'll see what I can do.

Here are some battlebot statistics. Note that many of them probably contain errors, seeing as how I've done so much crap throughout the development of the bot. At least you get the general picture.

Stats

Finally, I also uploaded two packs containing most of the levels used in battles, and many of the winning replays. The replays' names follow the pattern XXYYZZNN.rec, where XX is the year (i.e 03), YY is the month, ZZ is the day, NN is battle number N played on that specific day, and .rec is .rec.

Levels
Replays, spilt into 4 packs because rec files take up surprisingly much space: 1, 2, 3, 4

Zebra has made some stats for the channel #battle, with help from cyre and his bot.

As you might have heard/noticed, battlebot is back online on the #battle channel at IRCnet.

As MagnusB has more or less quitted elma business, he never got his battlebot finished/fixed. This time it's skint0r who we can give our credits to.
It's not yet fully tested and configured but it seems to do its main job at least well. Now, theres a battle starting up in a minute so I gotta go. Why don't you join us? :wink:

Ok been a bit quiet here. Anyway, #battle channel has been serving hundreads of battles every week and the popularity is still increasing. Many battle levelmakers such as Rasken, jp, Fanatico, jallax, Juble, Jappe and many more gives us alot of fresh levels to battle every day.

The more or less offical page for battle statistics is hosted by Zebra and is located under the following link: http://koti.mbnet.fi/zebra/battles.html
Check out the interesting facts and statistics of past months.

Here are some basic rules and recommendations:

-Use only new levels which nobody has ever seen/played
-If you are the author of a level that is being battled, don't write any times that counts in results. In other words, don't play your own levels.
-When uploading a replay try to name it according to the battle level name. For example to upload a replay for 'lev23.lev' you could name the replay 'lev23dz.rec', for example.
-Never tell fake times. If you accidentally write a wrong time, correct it with the right time. But never write a fake time and fix it afterwards intentionally.
