Publishing old state.dat's
I've got a huge collection of old state.dat's (over 1000) and most of them are before 2007. Now and then some old players ask for them (edit: "their own ones") and I can only fulfil the requests when I'm "available" in Elma life.
Now I wonder if I could publish them all? Does someone see any problems with this? The collection is a nice piece of history and good for people who need their states. It would also remove the delay of my inactivity which can be sometimes too long.

Re: Publishing old state.dat's
I would like if it's uploaded, that would make much ezer to upload missing players to elmastats at least.
Re: Publishing old state.dat's
pls do, towards very objective int standings it would be mega
on the same note, maybe poss to fulfill this: "By submitting replay files you agree that the files may be published later in the future, although not sooner than five (5) years after submitting the files."

Re: Publishing old state.dat's
It's amazing that you have them! But rather than publishing the states, I think they should instead be simply batch-uploaded to both elmastats and the elmaonline database. Kopaka and Markku have actually been actively working on importing legacy times and displaying them on elma.online (from skintatious in Markku's case), and we've been talking about internals too, so this would be the perfect opportunity! And I'm sure jon would be keen to help import them into elmastats :)

Re: Publishing old state.dat's
The oldest (not timestamp cheated): Nikke.dat 2000-03-05. Elbono has 31.12.1987. Other legends from 2000: Mikko, StIkKy, Mandel, kuiva, zeth, Champi0N, KingKong (aka BoBBo). 2001: Dr_Luni, Ufo, mengerle, EML (aka mrDJ), YeeS. 2002: swos, NJU etc. This is fascinating indeed

Re: Publishing old state.dat's

Re: Publishing old state.dat's
due to jon's current inability to help, all stats with nicks of identifiable people will be manually uploaded to elmastats over the course of the following day. stay tuned!
Re: Publishing old state.dat's
Nice, thx! It is a good chance eventually for everyone who lost their stats in the past years and unable to get them back

Is there a way to get more fresh ones from px?
Re: Publishing old state.dat's
I've gone from A to Z and added most users that I could. Still have a few duplicates/unknown nick remaining, which I will try to sort out tomorrow.
Also magicman's state broke elmastats a bit, but hopefully jon will fix that soon.

Re: Publishing old state.dat's
Maybe but it would be more work because he doesn't have a collection but only the emails so lots of manual work. What were the benefits?

Re: Publishing old state.dat's
Benefit, as we could update elmastats (stats.sshoyer.net) with em. Arzenik uploaded all guys, but for many of them this is old state, with px ones some of them could be updated to more fresh times.
Re: Publishing old state.dat's
Can we limit the dataset somehow? Like some spefic players or last 5 years or something? It's a lot to ask to send them all because the state.dats are in emails and zips but maybe it's worth it?

Re: Publishing old state.dat's
Hm, i think the mostly missing data is from 2010-2018.

Re: Publishing old state.dat's
The totaltimes updating on moposite since 2010 has been so haphazard/strange (partially with the eol link) that it's unrealistic to expect that px's records are in any way accurate.
That said, I'm really pleased to see the progress in this mini-project. It's nice having a more complete picture of the current state of times since day 1.

Re: Publishing old state.dat's
ty for uploading all stats to elmastats, had great time comparing times made by old pros
Re: Publishing old state.dat's
Btw, if possible, fix the timestamps of those old players to the date of state.dat last modified time? It would improve statistics greatly

Re: Publishing old state.dat's
Found some czech and slovak state.dats from back in the day when I was updating cz and sk records (newest are from 2010-2011) so sent them to ArZeNiK who will upload them to elmastats <3
