Apperntly its broken and cant be fixed.

Not so. It tracks 2v2 matches correctly, it was just modified a long time ago to only rank registered "teams" but the registration feature is broken. It can be fixed but no consensus was ever reached on whether to revert it back to how it was or revive the team system or create some new system altogether.

I should show you all the pms I have with the other admins...

The whole thing needs to be redone I think. because the coding is too outdated or something.

Logic needs to be updated*

Your right.

should repair this double ladder considering 2v2 is the most funniest part of war2.

Just an advice like that.

not quite

no

it used to check a user's ip against the server database to verify if the person creating or managing a team was a team member. but for security reasons the ladder doesn't have access to the server db anymore, which is why those functions are no longer active.  so mousetopher sort of removed the custom team parts of it.  to some extent it still works - it still records games and catalogs them.  but there's a few things that aren't working because of these issues, like i see games in the game results page right now but if i click on one of the teams that played i don't see those games on their team page.  im not sure what change is causing that

for example
http://ladder.war2.ru/2s/player.php?player=^Tyrus^_and_braviet
this has their recent games
but if you click shotgun and ywfn, who they just played, that page doesn't have the same game
it may be because shotgun had previously been on a custom team or something.

im sort of too far away from the code to figure out how to do it although i had a few ideas how to get the custom teams back up and running that i posted.

however just as a reminder, nobody ever used the team ladder and it died of inactivity despite me putting in hours and hours of work to customize it per tk's specifications lol.  the only people that cared about it were like manzon and alf who didnt make custom teams but liked to look at their various game histories

[~ToRa~]

Ok, I realize you had a bad experience with it. Is there a way it can be fixed without spending hours trying to fix it?

i dont think it would take too long for someone knowledgeable but as i said im too far away from having coded it to know how to really do it anymore.  but like the smallest thing to do would be to get into the ladder database and remove all the custom teams, i dont have access to it but if i did i mean i dunno it would probably take like 2 minutes and once that's done it may start counting the games better

Well maybe you can ask IL to give you access to it then we can see how it is. And then maybe work from there to improve upon it.

yeah if i had db access and i removed all the teams i think it might start recording games better?  not sure but it's my theory to test.

i do have access to the code (as do you i guess, mousetopher posted the info on the admin forum).  a potential solution to the ip problem i said in there would be to just use the existing team creation except instead of verifying a person is who they say they are by their IP, do honor system the first time but let them set a password in the process.  however, as ive said a few times, i dont really remember how to program much anymore, not sure if i can really dig back into that.   when this came up in the admin forum i opened the code and looked at it and was just kinda like "durr" :/
