PPM Maker

[Mccloud]

yea but lets say this "washing machine" is only for 1 or 2 people in the world, or he shares his washing machine with his friends only, while others have to do it manually, does that make alot of fair sense? no, which is my point, its unfair, and cheap. he should do his "clothes" manually like everyone else (he should rate like everyone else) and if he's too dumb to not know how to do clothes manually, then that's his problem (can't use a calculator and play at the same time)

SQuix is the only 1 who made this config, I made this thread to alert and know if there was such a thing to see if squix isn't bullshiting us, clearly he isn't, and he's not sharing with anyone, so let him wash his clothes with his machine, while us (raters) do our clothes manually, lol seriously. and btw I have sent whatever I could to admins on this site, its up to squix to give them this cfg

And that's why you called it "PPM Maker"?

I didn't name the cfg, I didnt make it, I don't know anything about it or how to make it, squix does. I got this info from him, as I said many times I made this thread to know if admins here, or other raters know about this type of cfg

[Spl@$h~]

yeah lets wait for Paul's answer abou that , anyway there are stuffs coming for soon which should be much appreciated and that cfg will be useless or almost

sounds bullshit to me. i think that this cfg would be much more "usefull" than the new stuff comming soon, if you need these stuff to rate, which is already far away from what rate should be, if you ask me.
and it seems like some others still didnt got what this cfg is. im not even rating and can see the danger in it.

lol at this discussion. And if you consider a config like that a "cheat" or "unfair" i would agree that play-lock is the same thing. You can just keep your shit on lock all day and open it right at end of map to get plus. If you are rating you leave it unlocked and and lock at end of day or whenever your done, open up next day and keep playing. It's advantage because you can compare your score with others at end of map to see if you had most ppm or k/d. Adding period you stop at 2/3 of map and have to wait till next map and in the last part of map you could actually get better score that would get you a plus - instead your playing with non rating nick. I see the high ranked players abusing this feature - it's anot a big deal really its part of the system of TB, but it definitely does give an edge on others who don't play using/abusing the lock feature the way it was meant to be used. Instead of using lock on FA2 or other high rated server, you could just go to WOOD server and toss ammo packs all map and be ranked in top 50 like you got good skills or somethin lolz still waiting for that shit to be addressed (I heard soon, so hopefully)

playlock doesn't show your ppm from start to end. playlock doesn't show OTHERS ppm from start to end, highest frag or k/d doesn't determine 100% you will get a +, open a new thread about this "playlock" abuse, this is about whether this cfg is legit or not, don't compare two things in a one-topic discussion, it was already going off topic on page 2

[Shagileo]

Playlock debates have been going on in the past and the benefits of the system outweigh the negative points.
So yes, let's keep this thread focused on one point, please. If you feel like debating about playlock once again, feel free to open a new thread.

In the meanwhile, we'll wait for Paul's response.
Now, I haven't heard or seen such a cfg before. But apparently it does exist (or something similar) which was used for the SL tracker (informed by Paul). So Dragon, hopefully that answers your question
Once again, these cfg's don't manipulate the PPM, so it's not a maker, but something like a displayer. I understand your concern about not everyone being able to use such a cfg, but it's for the best, I'm sure.

Our TB coding team has been working on enhancing our tracker against abuse. It sounds promising, but it's still in testing phase, before we actually launch it into public. I hope you understand this.

The only point I want to make is that playlocking is also unfair if you use it and feel a config that calculates such XP/Ratings is also when anyone can just look at previous map and who was there before and the avg. rate for that session. In any case a good rater shouldn't be "counting" XP but instead just counting their K/D ratio which is a good determinant of the xp they have earned including sprees etc..

[Paul]

I guess we can't check if a player uses this "PPM Maker", personally I think this should not be allowed, but since you can't check it, what do you want to do?
Besides, we're already trying with new algorithms in the background, soon more about this!

I dont care about config I saw it a few years ago when Honey had put it out, but I know the playlock feature is being misused by many high raters. I am not sure if there is a way to limit the amount of times a player can lock/unlock their nicks?

[Omnipotent]

I dont care about config

Maybe you should try reading what Shagileo said about creating a new thread if ya wish to talk about the playlock. So perhaps you should care or are too special so you don't have to do so?
