I was hoping to be a little farther along on this project before I announced it publicly, however, I wanted to do it before I left for LA, but I am pretty busy today getting ready for the trip. So, I'll just tell you now. The ladder is coming back!
Silent Kane has written a LadderServ which will eventually be running on XWIS. He's storing the data in a database, which I have used to create the actual rankings and a few pages of information. The ladder will eventually be displayed on RenegadeCommunity.com in colors more suitable there, but until that time, you can view the work-in-progress at our beta site:
http://renladder.blackhand-studios.net
Planned features:
- Ladder reporting in-game so we're not all "recruits" anymore
- A page that lists all the games stored for a particular server
- A page that lists all the players in a particular game and how they did.
- More statistical information on the player page such as avg ladder/game, hit/miss ratio...
I have a LOT of data available to me, so please suggest any other data you'd like to see. I love putting together complex SQL queries and the database structure I designed is ready for lots of different number crunching. While XWIS will host Silent Kane's LadderServ application, the website display of data will remain under our control and can be changed and updated at any time.
Please spread the word!
I'm the bawss.

I forgot to mention this as well: I want to extend a HUGE thank you to all the server owners who have directed their servers to point at our test LadderServ for the past few weeks. I'm thrilled with all the support -- it's been very encouraging. As you can see, we have had 60 servers send results to the ladder.
I also forgot to mention that currently, the Renegade FDS only sends the first 10 characters of each player's name. So, players who join a WOL server over WOLSpy who have long names will see them truncated. Silent Kane created a fix for that, along with a fix for the map which is currently sent to the ladder (the map changes before the ladder data goes out, so the NEXT map is reported instead of the current one). He will be releasing these fixes shortly, once he's done with everything he wanted to include. He's also having trouble with his internet connectivity at the moment.
I'm the bawss.

Is there a way so that confirmed cheaters can be removed from the ladder? Back in the Westwood day the top 20 people were all hackers, it was rather annoying that you could never, well without cheating yourself, get to be #1! That dragon guard that is in work, possible it can send a list of cheaters to the ladder thing?
