Custom leaderboard goodies!

More good stuff for custom leaderboards; some improved navigation and now each custom leaderboard has it's own page of overall stats.

Easier Navigation

Finding particular leaderboards should be much easier now. A new Class/Ships leaderboard page gives a rough and ready index to all the class and ship specific leaderboards. A search page for custom leaderboards should be up soon too.

You can only fly what I say

Continuing the work on custom leaderboards, it's now possible to restrict the kind of ships that can be flown by the winning pilot on any kill.

If this goes ok, restricting the loosing pilot shiptypes will follow soon(tm)

Friends can shoot friends did you say?

Leaderboards now let you exclude (or not..) kills from the rankings based on wether the kill was against a pilot from the same alliance or corp (allow friendly kills), or another leaderboard competitor (allow competitor kills).

If your names not down, your not coming in

Want to stop the unwashed masses from tramping all over your leaderboard? Run a competition .. or make it a friends only club perhaps? Now you can prevent the unwanted from walking mud all through the house and restrict entrance to leaderboards based on alliance / corp membership or by pilot name.

Next up, restricting eligible kills by shiptypes or systems..

Accounts Purge!

We have recently purged a lot of inactive user accounts from the database.  Any registered users that had no players or pilots associated with their name will need to re-register.

Custom Leaderboards are Go!

Ok, a feature I wanted for a long time has been rolled out to Evesolo - Custom Leaderboards!

You can now setup your own leaderboard and get the same ranking page and pilot summary pages per leaderboard that Evesolo currently generates globally for all posted kills! Just login, goto 'Your Boards' and add a board.. the rest is faily simple to work out :)

There are a couple of 'restrictions' in place at the moment - they will be lifted, but we have decided to release with these restrictions so we can spot and iron out any teething troubles or buggettes that crop up. So, for now:-

• All created boards are public - anyone can enter / view them.
• You cannot restrict eligible kills by winning/loosing shiptype, date or system.

We recognise that this means you are missing a chunk of what could make the custom leaderboards super-awesome, but releasing with these restrictions allows us to test out the core functionality before getting fancy.

Assuming things go fine for the next 7 days, we will then roll out:-

• Invite-Only boards based on Alliance / Corp / Player lists.
• Publicly / Privatley viewable boards.
• Restrict valid kills by Ship-Type (Winner or Looser), System name/s, date.
• Leaderboard focused stats page.

Down for some maintenance

The site will be intermittently available for the next 12 hours as we change some infrastructure, update some of the code and do some testing..
