So, rank 10/100 will be in 10%, rank 10/400 is 4%, etc. This is the best way because it takes into account the total number of ranks and ensure a distribution of players across all ranks rather than have everyone start at the bottom (in terms of points) and work their way up. If you dont feel like you can do this and you just want a quick and dirty system like the first system i discussed, go take a look at the config file from Influx timer and thats how he did his (but even the developer of that has said its a bad system). for comparison (w/o giving away private info), there is a private timer system from blacky that uses a rank config that allows you to assign tags based on various keyvalues.. steamid, admin flag, raw rank, percentage rank, etc. that way its a one-stop show with tags.. admins and mods and VIPs all get their tags and it doesnt conflict with rank tags becuase there is a priority system that dictates which tag should be assigned (say for a mod who also has a rank.. shoulkd he ge tthe rank tag or the 'mod' tag).

Oh i should be able to calculate players ranks based on %s quite easily. If you can supply me with some rank names and what percentages you want them at i can easily give you the code for it so you can use it. I can also code in a admin tag system for the chat if you would like. Ill also link a command to it so admins can turn it on and off.
