Hi. Nice thread.
Good luck with updating it and whatnot.

As rope physics tend to change in subtle ways across different versions of Hedgewars, I don't think it is fair to use old records. You either need to set up and display a leaderboard for each distinct release of Hedgewars or have it so that the leaderboard resets with each new release, having the records becoming fair game again. I'd recommend the latter.

Not only that, I recall tweaking start of trophyrace slightly. I think I fixed the start position a little, and set it to start w/ rope active.

Nice thread.

My current records:

Ropeknocking challenge ShoppaHell: 116,911 sec / video: http://www.mediafire.com/?9cc8v3lun74nvuv

Ropeknocking challenge Ropes: 111,486 sec / video: http://www.mediafire.com/?tdcvv8irgaxqji7

Roperace: 35,935 sec / video: http://www.mediafire.com/?y5c35hh5o8y71ll

Cowrace: 22,514 sec / video: http://www.mediafire.com/?olfpr44ubnfy3cs

Trophyrace: 27,906 sec / video: http://www.mediafire.com/?kopskvcr84gmxqx

[All records are made with 0.9.18]

I don't have a Trophyrace 2 record, because I suck at that race... :P
Where can I download Roperace 2? Because I don't have it yet. If someone could post a link that would be great. (:

[Edited several times]

Yeah I think you're right, if we do a new start it should be a REAL new start. So I'll have to work on new records

@Stef: http://www.mediafire.com/?oe8gud9hq024j38

If someone needs a single map and doesn't want to download the whole map-pack with all shoppa maps available just ask here and I'll post the link to download it.

And don't be afraid of posting you're records, there are FIVE positions to fill

Just have no time to record, upload and post my records at them moment, have lots of work with my drama club, I'll do that later.

Thanks for the map! Sorry, I forgot that the races are also included in your uploaded map pack.

I'm just a wannabe shoppsta, so here is the result of my quick 0.9.19 attempt at RKC: Ropes.
Got 114,132 sec. https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/15139166/hw-2013-04-20_11-25-06-814.mp4

Okay and here are my first records:
RKC ShoppaHell 109.968 secs http://www.mediafire.com/?6cqsjr6i75a7ma6
Trophyrace 2 28.17 secs http://www.mediafire.com/?zawq8r3i7y1r7wi

So finally I've got a lot of work to get good times on the other maps as well which will be a nice thing to do! I think the hardest thing will be to beat my old Cowrace record which was 16.07 and I still don't know how I could get so fast, my second best time was 17.8 or something :O

Anyway, I'm glad that you are posting very frequently, keep going guys

And congratz to your demos, some quite nice moves in there!! But I can't watch mikades demo, there is just a quicktime symbol and a questionmark, can anyobdy maybe upload it to mediafire? Would be nice

Thanks! :P Here ya go, mikades demo: http://www.mediafire.com/?fov9ona2m41orm2

EDIT: I've got a new Roperace record: 34,115 sec / video: http://www.mediafire.com/?b2xoqakgt1u74v2

Hmm... you were the one who suggested only using times from the same version, and now you used .19 for your record. Very slick.

Thanks Stef! Quite good mikade but I am absolutely sure you can do that faster and possibly stay under 100 seconds

Worked on a new Trophyrace record, here it is: 22.701, one second and a bit away of my old record. Let's see if I can beat that 21.5 the next time! http://www.mediafire.com/?ki9sxq4y1218eco

My records:

Roperace - 28.226s
TrophyRace - 21.326s
TrophyRace2 - 27.707s

Edited, and will further edit if needed.

Someone (ideally not me) should really rewrite most of of the races so they are less open to rope spam abuse. :P

Eh, you're right, sorry you were just referring to older versions, disregard that.

Roperace record SirToby: 28.547 secondshttp://www.mediafire.com/?h4uu237e2s010y7

New RKC: Ropes record: 110,39 sec / video: http://www.mediafire.com/?u8kom57u1mc1lsa

I still wasted much time though...

hi, 47 secs in Rope Race 2 (watch: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WLbsGmHwu5k ) 18 in Trophy and 27 in Rope Race 1. For the moment i only have the video in youtube of the record in Rope Race 2, when i make a better time in the other maps ill download (my demos were in the last version and now are deleted.) cheers

RKC Ropes: Hit a 96.281, not quite as well as possible but it's a start... http://www.mediafire.com/?1uy7hx3f3sv4315

And 21.059 in Trophyrace, improved my record 2 times that round. Let's see if i can hit a 20! Just had a problem with uploading it so I'll put me into the list when I managed to do that.

Also got 18.641 at Cowrace but as I said my mediafire is quite buggy at the moment so I'll upload that soon.

@bufon: Very beautiful play, really great record! Would be amazing if you could upload more demos of your other records so I can put you into the highscore list

//supplement: Just hit a 47.178 on Roperace 2 which you can see here: http://www.mediafire.com/?4zcb3zczgd0d2jk

//supplement 2: managed to upload Cowrace record, 18.641: http://www.mediafire.com/?ftbjc6x9r93gx6f and Trophyrace record, 21.059: http://www.mediafire.com/?rp57xu1o57rqji8
Updated all records, hope I didn't forget anything?!

Hey Stef, great stuff, you really deserve to be No.1 in at least one of these disciplines, obviously you spend a lot of time into that

I worked on my Trophyrace2 record and finally hit my first 26, precisely 26.468: http://www.mediafire.com/?30ojaya707l2jv0

// Just worked on my RKC ShoppaHell record, got an 85.657: http://www.mediafire.com/?c56s2uc41ogfl45

New Trophyrace record: 24,334 sec / video: http://www.mediafire.com/?z1zxb1w85vx9c1b
Demo: http://www.hedgewars.org/node/5312 (made on 0.9.19)

Broke it by 0,335 sec! xD

On the Roperace map I can't seem to get under the 30 sec anymore, I keep hitting 30-35 sec. I'm training on a Roperace 2 record, but it's only 62 sec now, so I still need much training... :P

Current Roperace 2 record: 57,99 sec / video: http://www.mediafire.com/?nlsplcr6r0v8i4r

Still nowhere near the top records but good enough for now.

EDITED: New record

Hey guys, got holidays and am in France for two and a half weeks, so please don't mind if I can't update the recs directly after your post. Thanks!

And have a nice time

You might want to check out what unc0rr has been working on @ http://hedgewars.org/records

Still a work in progress. He only collects stats if all players in a game are registered tho.
That top time is pretty astounding. Appears to be BeHappy playing on his own.

I tossed the demo on here:
http://m8y.org/hw/demos/behappy_20.4.45.hwd

But you can also watch any demo on that list on the official server by typing:
/watch 255

Where 255 would be any ID number from the ID column (that particular one is the BeHappy record).

Wow. That is an amazing function; all hail the hog-overlords. Can't wait to try it out! And that is a bretty gud time too, kudos to BeHappy!

My computer broke and I'm not able to play in this old 700Mhz Celeron D: D:

Congratulations david! Great record

Don't have any time to play so I'm just updating the records and that's it :P hope i'll have time to play and follow new things in the forum as soon as possible.

Well uh i just noticed the video he uploaded is from 2012 (ive watched it before, nice rec).
So its a different version. Maybe all players should tell the version the record was made in at the end of their post?
You all are probably aware, just pointing out then.
Nice page btw

Trophyrace 2 didn't work anymore in this version, but lollkiller made a fixed version and here is it:

It's a .hwp so you just have to put it in the Hedgewars Data folder, restart and you can enjoy the race.

2013-10-19 LOLLKILLER 18.374 2204

YEAAAAAAAaaaaaaaaa

Cheater LOLKILLEr!

Shooting in the air, "pauses" the timer.
Allowing players who practice doing that, to use it skillfully as to "pause time" and rope. (like lolkiller).

I think this is a bad bug that needs to be fixed. Lest such, "weird methods" be used.

Just joking about you being a cheater Lolkiller, but still !

Well. Almost all weapons pause the timer in normal game modes, no doubt to avoid interrupted shots, which is frustrating. Is true that that isn't that useful for rope, though, as it might be for bazooka, so I'll remove it.

That being said, I would call it creative use of game mechanics/rules, not a cheat...

In all seriousness, though, I /do/ actually kind of like the current behavior as it adds a sense of agency/urgency on missed shots in shoppa. In my opinion, a better approach would be to just use a generic timer in lieu of TurnTimeLeft to determine the "score" for racing maps. That said, I'm not thaaaat passionate about the issue and could easily live with it being "fixed", too.
