I just thought of another feature that could be handy.

In the profiles could there be an option to see a particiapant's times in each system.

Like say I'd like to see DVM's times in NTSC. There would be a link above the list. Where you can switch between PAL and NTSC. Would that be possible?

Would this take a great deal more time?

LOL ... it all takes a great deal of time. But it's a good idea. I'll keep it in mind. Right now I'm going to be working on the SNES track rankings and then FZX track rankings in PHP. This is because those items aren't properly viewable in Netscape currently, and I know that the problem will be fixed with the switch to PHP.

After finishing those two projects, I'll start work on making the rankings pages sortable by country and total times. The country option will be a pull-down menu where you select a country and you'll get a page showing only the players from that country.

Only once those things are completed can I even consider creating the "opposite system times" idea. Plus I'll also still need to change the GBA track rankings, FZX and SNES profiles, all player rankings pages, and all records pages to PHP. Umm, not to mention building the ENTIRE Gamecube competition framework from scratch. This is why I suggested that everything may take months to complete. All of this has to be in my spare time ... I have a family and a full-time job to consider, plus helping my wife with her new business venture.

Wow, I'm even busier than I thought!

All this leaves almost no time to actually PLAY the games.

Whoa. I never knew you were that buzy! O.O

I noticed you had the snes profiles done. Next is F-Zero X?
Like I said before. Take all the time you need ^^. There's no rush.
I guess you intend to finish this by the time F-Zero GC comes out? ^^

EDIT: By the way, the pull down method for the Country sorting was excatly what I had in mind. What a coincidence huh?

I'd love to have it all done by then. Depends on what roadblocks life throws my way, ya know?

OK guys, give me some feedback on this test page:

http://www.fzerocentral.com/FZX/fzerotest.htm

Clicking on a country will bring up a ranking of players just from that country. Let me know what you think about it.

Jamie Thompson got the same thing. But it works fine for Leandro and myself. Very odd.

Just out of curiosity, tell me if this link works:

OK, try it now, I think my webhost was having some problems or doing some updating overnight. Seems to have cleared up for me, let me know if this works for you as well:

I've added other cool stuff to the test now.

http://www.fzerocentral.com/FZX/fzerotest.htm

Here's everything that the test is featuring:

*You'll have the ability to view a list of only the players from your country ... in overall player rank order.

*You'll be able to pull up sorted lists of the following:

Course total time (Overall, NTSC, and PAL)
Lap total time (Overall, NTSC, and PAL)
Speed total (Overall, NTSC, and PAL)
Course points (Overall, NTSC, and PAL)
Lap points (Overall, NTSC, and PAL)
Speed points (Overall, NTSC, and PAL)

I'm very excited about this project because I'm using PHP at a more advanced level than I have ever done previously. I can't wait to get these new features added to all three versions!

Dave, aquele é overwhelmingly AWESOME! Eu não posso esperar até que você faça aquele para o MV (os rankings dos EUA para mim devem ser mais impressive)

Now this is really Great!! I really like it! ^^

These organization ways are just incredible.

I seemed to have spotted an error in the page though, I'm not sure if I'm the only one but we'll see. It seems when you click on the lap organization there's a bunch of new, blank rectangles at the bottom of the page.
Should be easy to fix. Of what I've seen this problem only apears to be in the overall lap total area. ^^

Other than that This is awsome

EDIT: By the way, since you can view the 3 different organization ways for Overall, Ntsc and Pal. Would it be possible to do it for country as well? Or is the method of doing it quite different?

Thanks for the positive feedback guys!!

The error you mentioned is now fixed. Thanks for pointing it out.

Yes, I considered sorting Course, Lap, and Speed totals and points by country. It is certainly possible, but the amount of programming to do a country sort is quite large, so I decided that it's not worth it to me to create it. I feel that this new system will give you guys plenty of data to wrap your brains around ... IMHO, it's not all that important for someone to know that they moved from 17th to 16th in "USA Lap Total." And if you move from 4th to 3rd for example, that's pretty easy to see for yourself. Plus, I have to stop somewhere ... I have nightmares about seeing DVM's name on a "Belgium Joker Cup Speed Points set on a Tuesday" page.

Maybe I could add it in the future if I have nothing else to do, but right now I'm WAY behind in building the PHP pages. Not only do I need to create this new sorting system for SNES and FZMV, but I still need to convert the FZMV track rankings and profiles, plus the FZX profiles to PHP. And all of that is secondary to building the entire FZGX section!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Also, with this new PHP coding ability I've learned, in the distant future I will change the FZX track rankings to put course/lap/speed all on one page (just click the column header to re-sort), and also change all track rankings to include a country sort. I know that those of you who like this new country sort thing are now drooling at the thought of track ranking country sorts!
