Yeah I should update the !help2 command.
Here is how it works:
How does the ranking system work?
First of all, the ranking system without extra points is very skill based and rewards SKILL! The system doesn't reward play time or number of completed maps. Good ranks, that's what it's all about. You get points for map ranks, top 20 ranks and challenges.
Once you finished a map, you can get only points by improving your rank!
You can also lose points when other surfers have beaten your map ranks. The calculation part should explain why.
Your points (for ranks) will be updated immediately by the system after you entered the game, finished a map or lost a challenge.
(Admins have also the possibility to recalculate player profiles with an admin command)
Calculating player points:
(Map rank percentage * 200) + (extra points * 2) + (finished bonuses * 150) + Ranks 1-20 get extra points per map.
Extra points:
ck_ranking_extra_points_improvements: Gives players x extra points for improving their time. Default 15.0
ck_ranking_extra_points_firsttime: Gives the player this amount of extra points for finishing a map for the first time. Default 25.0
Skill groups (percentage and name can be modified by an admin):
To achieve ranks, you need to achieve the set threshold of points:
Default skill groups and percentage of points required
NEW
SCRUB
0.005%
TRAINEE
0.01%
CASUAL
0.030%
REGULAR
0.05%
SKILLED
0.1%
EXPERT
0.15%
SEMIPRO
0.22%
PRO
0.4%
Point requirement for these ranks are calculated as: percentage * MaxPointsFromMaps
MaxPointsFromMaps = Map Count (mapcycle.txt) * 700 + (Bonus Stage Count * 150)
For an example, when a player reaches over 0.22% of the maximum amount of points available on the server, he achieves rank SEMIPRO.
