Hello Kia! Can you convert this code to PAWN? https://github.com/moserware/Skills/...ills/TrueSkill
I think TrueSkill system a bit better then regular ELO =)

I'll look at it and do my best.

//EDIT : ö___o

[Kia]

What?

I'd recommend using this over Elo formula, mostly because as you've said, ELO system is made to be used for 1 versus 1 duels. It's pointless when more than two players are taken into account, because the rating gained is independent on the player's skill, but rather the success of the whole team. Which basically means that one player depends on the success of other players in his team.

I contacted Microsoft and asked them if its allowed to use it. They've said that they have no license system for TrueSkill, so they can't give me permission or the concrete formula. They're open-source implementations of TrueSkill, but it's too hard for me to translate to Pawn.

[Backstabnoob]

I'm planning on using it anyway, so I might as well post a snippet when I'm done. All the formulas are on the page I sent.

[Kia]

Would be great.

I also believe that Microsoft allows the usage of TrueSkill as long as the project is non-commercial.

Great, so that only confirms my theory. I'll start working on it soon.
