Combat Arms Rankings

Updated: Good news!

Well, after 13 days working how to solve this, I’m doing tests and the last test is working so good, slow but it’s working.

Now I have 2 problems:

• Memory load: the load of this new bot is not so optimized and the load at start is 100mb, too high for my server
• I need the help of all of you to do this better

This 2 problems have solutions, to the first issue I have to optimize it and upgrade the server to have more memory, and the second can be resolved only if you want to help me and all of that players that used to use the page to check their progress day to day.

So please, contact me using contact form or ingame if you want to help.

Thank you to all those who are helping to this page.

Update:

The memory leaks has been solved and the tests are more than good, now I have another problem… sometimes a player is not well parsed so I have to add error control to solve this, maybe tomorrow a final version of the bot will be working and in a couple of days the rankings will be updated again

And again, thanks to all of those who want to help.

Updated: Server issues

We are up again!

On friday 04/9 there were some problems with the server where this page is located, the cpu load of the bot that makes the rankings was too high and the company closed the server to move to another node, they have been working all the weekend to give us their best service so I hope now we won’t have any issue again.

Now I have to recode the bot again in other language to try to decrease that cpu load but it’s not so easy and the number of players ranked is rising too fast (the last update has 477k players ranked) so I don’t discard to ask for the help of all of you.

This night I will see how is working the bot in this new server, and then I will decide what should I do with this.

Thanks to all of you that use to visit this page, you will see some updates soon

Update:

The server issues was caused by the bot of the rankings, today I have recoded it (what I made in 1 month I have made in 1 day) and i have been doing tests to get the best of it, I think the test are more than good and maybe tomorrow you will enjot a new update of the rankings.

Once again, sorry for the issues.

Update 2:

As i said in the forum, the ip of the server has been blocked by nexon, so this site is not going to be updated anymore.

I hope you enjoyed the page while it was online

Do you have an idea? just write it in a comment!

Stats about the new bans

Today a massive ban has been done and i’ve created a new stats page to know everything about these bans. You can see:

• Number of rangs banned with the percent of banned in each rang.
• Number of players banned of each country with his percent.
• Clans with banned members, the number of members banned with the percent and if the leader has been banned

You can check this in this page: http://www.combatarms-rank.com/banned.php (yes, i know the deisgn is very poor).

And keep checking the page, i will add new things along the day

UPDATE:

Now you can check the players banned in each rang, country and clan, just click over the link and a window will be displayed showing that info, in some categories with lots of players banned, there are pages to navigate through the bans.

Minor update and bug fix

Today, a new version of the page has been published with some changes:

• Animation system changed: The page was using script.aculo.us and now it has been changed to jQuery that it’s faster and it has more animations to add.
• Bug fixes: The bug in the dropdown menu has been fixed with the use of jQuery, also the autocompleter is better and not bugged, it also works in IE. The bug in the pages with IE was fixed some time ago (there is still a bug to fix when you search and you try to change the page).
• Flag tooltips changed to jQuery ones, here there is a bug with IE6.
• Added a news box to display some interesting news of the page.
• Contact form changed to another form integrated in wordpress.

And nothing more, i’m working in a big update but i don’t know where i will be able to release.

Please, report any bug you see in the page using the contact form, you also can comment in the forum to do this better.

Hello Combat Arms!

Hi, as many of you know I’m dvil, the creator and owner of CombatArms-Rank. First of all I’m going to introduce myself to let you know a bit more about me:

My real name is Diego but I don’t like it, I prefer dvil (which comes from my name and surname), I’m 21 years old and I’m still a student, I love computers and web developing and I use to code bots and AI scripts too.

I started with CombatArms-Rank because I wanted to know what was my ranking in Spain, so I did a page to show the rankings of Spain, it was very simple but very useful, some days after the release I changed the system to store the rankings in a database and do the searches faster, so with that I released the rankings of all the countries, but only with Experience rankings. In the next update new rankings were released, ratio and exp recorded very day to catch powerlevelers but then, Nexon made their own version…

I was angry because all my work was trampled with that but I didn’t give it up and I started to write a new version of rankings. After 1 month working I finished the new script to make the new rankings, 23 new categories and 4 type of rankings in the time (daily, weekly, monthly and overall), this was going to be my attack to the move of Nexon, and it was checkmate because they didn’t have flag rankings (now they have them…).

Now, 1 year after that first version I’m here writing in a blog to let you know more about this project.
