Staff Ghost Times
« Thread started on: Jun 11th, 2003, 09:50am »

Hey I was wondering, In F-Zero X would it be possible to implement the staff ghost time with all the participant's times in the track rankings?

When you would look at the track rankings there would be a spot where it would say "Show staff Ghost Time" above the charts (It would start with the Staff time hidden). And when it's showing it would say "Hide Staff time"

With php this implementing this should be a breeze. ^^
The staff wouldn't really count as a player, but I've always wanted to know where the staff is compared to everyone else.

How about this:

Right now, all the times are in black. What if I changed the color of the times that beat the staff ghost, and added that indicator to the "New/Up/Down" legend so that people would understand it. It would show you who beat the ghost without having to click on anything.

Ah I see what you mean. I'd see how the times would probably look like.

To be honest I'd probably prefer the times stay black, I guess they look better that way.

The link would be a handy little feature I find.

Of course if it's not really nececary I'll understand.

Or another possibility is that I could make times that beat the staff ghost still in black, but BOLD. I'm suggesting these options because they would be MUCH easier for me to implement than your suggestion. To do what you asked for, I'd have to add a staff ghost "member" and then change all my formulas so that the staff ghost member wouldn't count in the standings.

I'd like to add this feature, but I don't think it's such a crucial addition to warrant such an overhaul.

Why not just add the staff ghost times as a member, also counting in the ranking? Someone actually drove those times... We'll just name him Mr.Staff

Well, the Staff Ghost times are listed at http://www.fzerocentral.com/FZX/staffghosts.htm. Would it not just be easier to open that page and compare to specific profiles or your own?
