Updated first post, added some tracks. I think that we'll settle using the xSRtng. for now. It seems quite reliable on the long run and it fits perfectly on the type of cups we are planning to host. Look at the standing right now: 01. [x] Mike Nike 1.000 02. [+] dede 0.905 03. Wolf 0.852 04. Kyna_Mu...

Updated first post. Small improvements to the ranking script, some randomization on display, added some tracks. BTW, you are all giving valid thoughts on the ranking system. I'm trying to take into account all your suggestions. Testing is almost done, some more fine tuning and we're ready to host ou...

Well, to be honest, I share olio's point of view regarding the record thing. I think it's quite safe to say that, in today's small community, there's a high probability that the fastest player is even the best one in terms of overall results. It's a small community, where all the top players are lon...

Updated first post. Removed TSB-F2 and added Antislider, now it's all about default cars. people who would try to play for most rankingtypes would probably start leaving servers if they dont improve in ranking if there are playing too many good players and that kinda sucks. when i drove with janne o...

Also, I think that using number of players for the base of ranking could be really problematic. It's harder to beat 1 or 2 good players than 19 averages. So, in this situation, some player should just have a luck and join the server when it's full of losers. :wink: There must be a better solution. ...

-The point system is too much based on players activity, which is bad. Somebody could be first by collecting tons of points 1 by 1. So, I suggest you to make somehow that only first 10 race points counts. While it's true that somebody could be first slowly gaining position one point by another, it'...

Ok so, we began the public testing for the new ranking script on the server. I won't enter in the details here, just an outline of how it works: basically, after every race, points are given dynamically, based on how many players have raced on the track. So, for example, if we have 4 players racing,...

First post updated.
We decided to get rid of Easyslider and Speeder, Antislider is back by popular demand, so now we have Antislider, Slider and TSB-F2.
New tracks were added too.

Thx for posting, all requests have been fullfilled.
As for the records, probably we'll reset them once we got the new ranking working so no problems.

xS^ The Xtreme Sliders Server - NEWS & INFO thread

So, as some of you may have noticed we have a new 24/7 server dedicated to the good old days of TurboSliders. We'll use this post to keep everybody informed on every change or adjustment made to it in order to have some feedback from the community. Our goal is to revive the oldschool competitions wi...

Of course, we're open to all possibilities right now, as we're still evaluating what kind of competition should be better for everyone. I don't feel like giving out rules at the moment, simply because we're still at an early stage of testing. Just race and have fun, we'll see what to do about "...

Got it, good idea. Maybe it will boost the competition a little bit.
Now it's random fixed and I've put up a selection of oldschool tracks on it.

Have a nice day!

OK so.. I've put up VANILLA TS, a simple, classic server with pure TS on it (default cars, default tracks, etc..). Let's see how it goes.. I would like to test the interest in this project, as well as some ideas for some ranking formulas so feel free to write down what you think. I hope that some of...

How to bring back old the oldschool ;)

Hey everyone, first post on the boards, but I'm really not new to the game. I consider myself as a long time newbie (:P) that has played most of the time offline against the AI players. You may ask why.. Well, answer is that I love the original TS, and that perfect mix of variety and competition tha...
