50883, Beobj's PBF seems incorrect
Posted by highbutterfly on Wed 31-Dec-69 07:00 PM
It seems like his total wins, losses, win/loss by cabal, are all off.
51267, Eidiol's is clipped too

Not by much, but he con died as Dreadlord with a custom title, which the PBF doesn't show.
51046, In case you missed it, this is finally sorted out (nt)

So I had a look and I'm not sure what happened here, but the good news is the pfile doesn't look corrupt, so we should be able to get a correct PBF posted soon.
50904, Cool thanks! n/t

Didn't mean to be a pest but figured I was helping by pointing it out :)

50892, What are the technical issues with getting accurate PBFs?
Posted by -flso on Wed 31-Dec-69 07:00 PM
One would imagine they would be easy to solve. I would also like to see more
information in pbfs, not less. There is potential for all sorts of statistics
and graphs. Maybe even entire events that the user could initiate logging for
on the server-end (say a record start/ record stop command).

On a related note, have you thought about producing pbfs in a different
form, say a PDF?

There are open-source libraries that make PDF generation a breeze and I wouldn't
mind paying more for a nicely formatted PDF with a TOC, that I can keep around
or publish, to remind me/show others of a char I played. Maybe, the fact that
they can get this sort of 'permanent reward' would even encourage players to
develop their characters more and not delete in trivial ways.

Can you be more specific? At first glance it looks fine to me.
50885, It seems clipped at level 37, Beobj was 51.
Posted by Murphy on Wed 31-Dec-69 07:00 PM
And he wasn't anathema. And actually the character hasn't been deleted yet, or at least his DT hasn't appeared.
50891, Same for Arratok
Posted by Beer on Wed 31-Dec-69 07:00 PM
Lots of PK missing...he pked me in June...no pkdeath or win there.
50894, Beobj's is buggy, Arratok's seems fine.
Posted by highbutterfly on Wed 31-Dec-69 07:00 PM
Easiest way is to check the "leveling" timeline for each character.

Beobj's stops at level 37 even though the character played a lot (and died a lot) at hero. Moreover, I've seen the character killed by members of cabals which don't show up on his pk page. (Hard to mistake your buddy killed by deathblow, but he doesn't have a battle cabal loss).

There's a finite amount of space allocated to the PK Win/Loss pages, which is I presume is why Arratok's are cut off. Any character with plenty of wins/losses has the same cut-off. Hard to tell if Arratok's buggy.
51105, Yeah there's such in Beobj's pbf too. It's fine.
Posted by Murphy on Wed 31-Dec-69 07:00 PM
I wonder if the allocated space can be increased. Any PK-successful character or a character that con-dies is going to have the majority of their wins/losses not displayed.

Or at least display the latest ones instead of earliest I guess!
51165, Yes, Beobj's now fixed, as V said.

50896, I emailed imps about this
Posted by Asthiss on Wed 31-Dec-69 07:00 PM
As pointed out by other here it seems it stopped at 37. But Beobj was 51 when I deleted him.

I was never anathema was still Elite Blade when I deleted.
Had a lot more deaths and maybe a kill or two more.
Had more edges. Had 2 specs and 2 legacies.
And hopefully (the one I was looking for when buying it) a Imm comment on why I got the Elite spot.
