http://www.blockstats.org/stats/user_TGM-Needle.html My real current rating is 7140. As of writing, it says my rank is 182nd. Which I also find a bit strange since the last time I looked I was something like 330th, and some time before that I was around 220th. Or is this fluctuation in rank (for more than 100 rank places) normal behavior?
Thanks Needle, Apparently, Nintendo does this thing when it's updating players that replaces there name with a placeholder. Kind of strange and I never noticed it in the code. The difference in pages was enough to stop the updater from continuing on it's marry way, so everywhere that it ran into this, often it didn't get to page 6 or 7. I've modified the code and am running a test now, It's only doing the 7000's so if your not updated in the next hour or so, wait til tomorrow, and it should be correct. Oh and as far as rank changing.. Yes, it should be constantly changing seeing as players are constantly moving up and down the latter... Right now the only thing set to update is the top 50 or so every 4 hours. The rest update daily.
A few things about the blockstats rank image..... I realize there are constraints based on size, but 1) Can you get it to also show rating? 2) Can you get it to say Tetris DS instead of TDS? Or is there simply not enough room?
But the Metroid Prime record keeper things that people put in their sigs mention that it's Metroid. :shrug:
For some reason I work fine on Blockstats, but i am nowhere to be seen on the hub at nintendowifi.com, don't know if this is solvable though as it isn't a Blockstats issue
Sully: Yes I can change it to say Tetris (It's used for idenification, not for a product, IE: the difference between say "This is your Tetris DS Rank" and "Check out my new Tetris Game System". Yes I can get it to show your Tetris points as well (assuming that's what you wanted). I've considered also pulling the rank according to Nintendo (aka, not the one I'm calculating.) This would remove some of the variance from people changing their name every 24 hours. We'll have to see. There has been a request for color change as well... I think that can be arranged. Just to ask one more time: Has anyone figured out if it works with the Nintendo Forums? (IE: Could you put it in a Sig)
Hm, Tetsting Gif. The problem with this is it's not my rank... Blockstats tells me that I'm ranked like 2,000 something not 40,000 yet the Gif still says 40,000. In fact I don't think that I've EVER been that low... I havn't even played online for like a weak, so it shouldn't be a time delay... Edit: Thanks it seems to have worked. <a href="http://www.blockstats.org/stats/user_X-Perts.html"><img src="http://www.blockstats.org/libraries/playerimage.php?pid=5c2abc0f6784cde68f4aac9bec506a26"></a>
Caps matter -- the link in your sig suggests that you're using "X-Perts" as your wifi username; try "X-perts".
About the rank image- this is a minor detail, but I've noticed that if your rating is composed of wide enough digits, then the "ones" digit (the one on the far right for the mathematically impaired) gets cropped. JJDB- can this be addressed in any way?
