GRR high scores thread

Vindaloo, from level 1 to 39:

[starshipcommand]

Wahey... full Vindaloo run-through from level 1 to completion.

Didn't beat my previous Vindaloo level 1 start score of 8,097,784 though.



So, next thing to try... a Phaal run-through! Has anyone managed one of those yet?

[Dr. M]

OK first attempt at GRR...


That was my first game, considering I purchased it today.

MINTER, YOU CUNT!!!!

Excellent, but you do know that all scores are now uploaded to the online scoreboards? -->

Ah, thank you kindly!

You can view the online scores from within the game too by pressing C while viewing the score tables.

Ah, thank you kindly!

You dropped me down a place on the online score chart.

I just finally installed the high score update today and after a while noticed I have a clearly messed up Madras score that's currently sitting on top of the score table. Any way for it to be wiped?

[bcass]

Yeah, there's a problem in that it's possible to upload scores gained in the original bugged version. The details have been posted here:

But no action seems to have been decided on yet. I don't think it's going to be possible to fix without wiping everyones local and online high scores. As much as I'd hate to lose my magnificent (non-bugged) Endurance score, I think a full wipe is the only solution. Is this being looked at Giles? It would be a shame for the scoreboards to be ruined by bugged scores.

It could be a bit complex, in this very moment I don't have time to put it out together, the only "easy" way I could see would
be to add an option/something into GRR itself that allows to choose and entry and wipe it out, otherwise, the only way would
be to wipe out everything but still even that would mean you have some means to wipe out the online score board which
at the moment is not implemented.

I guess the easier/better way would be to add in the program a "choose this entry and press <something> to delete it"
but at the moment I really don't have time to code that, look forward to an update at some point that will allow you
to do that.

Even if I delete the scores on the server, it still would not fix the problem as long as they are locally stored, the local
score has to be fixed first or it would get re-uploaded.

As I said the ( only ) real thing to fix it would be an option like "choose that score and delete it" ( from local and
server ).

When I'll have some other time, I'll implement it, so far I am quite busy on a tour-de-force-other-thing

[bcass]

Cool, no probs. I guessed you'd be busy with other stuff right now. Your solution is definitely preferable to mine. Maybe you could control which local/online scores get deleted using the server instead of letting players do it manually? Add a column in your table (delete_flag) - if you suspect a score is not legit, set the flag and the game/server automatically deletes local and online scores.
