are the different team compositions counted in different rankings or all in the same ranking?
The website counts every Player combination as a different Team.
So if you play 3 times with 3 different teams, you would have 3 rows in the Ranking of the website.For Prizes: Only the highest (ranking) one of the 3 would be used
13 minutes ago, NullSeed said:From what I can tell it is individual ranking as the prizes are per person. So highest ranking per person counts over all the teams they are in.
So the question is, what happens in case the 1st place is gotten by a team of 4. Do they all 4 get 1st place price or do they need to divide between them (as the tiebreaker wouldn't break any tie as they would all have the same total time)
I can confirmer. All players for the 1st place team will get 5 Boosters.
Same for the other ranks. -
VIdeos would be cool, then you could jump on the time line and dont have to watch 32x Speed
(or restart replay if you were to fast) -

Funny indeed. Still assuming it ain't counting for the competition right 😅
Yes TestStriker is now a Ban Card on my Website 🙂

Honestly was just replying to Warchief stating there was a rule missing. As it seems obvious to me that you shouldn't be doing an event on a testserver or something like that 😆
funny enough -> Kubiks replay is from Productions server and the TestStrike is live on Produktions Server ...

Great greetings, people of the Sky
Battle of Tactics goes into the fourth round. This time we are focusing on Twilight and the Transformation ability.
Winners / Ranking / Stream recording:
Rules:
1. You are only allowed to play Twilight cards.
(Not the Edition Twilight, I mean Fire-Nature-Cards)
2. You are not allowed to play flying units.
3. You are only allowed to play one Affinity of a Card.
4. You can play every card only once.
So if you play Slaver and he dies, you can not re-summon it. He is gone forever.
Same goes for buildings and spells can only be cast once as well.
--> But you can transform your Units as much as you like. <--
When You transform you often get buffs. Also, transformation is cheaper than casting. (See FAQ)An example deck could look like this:MNXTYVWQaDTWZRaMTrWoYLTaYUaSXmXOTAZ3X0YkW
Use "/importdeck [Deckcode]" in the chat

Audio stamp: “There it is! Come, ancient soul,”Section 4: From “Viridya arrived at the Soultree” till “End of the map”
Audio stamp: [You won screen]
Checking for a valid run:
There are two ways to check the run:
1. I added check in to the map. But since I'm not a map/LUA-programme, so there might be still a bug.
2. The funny BOT-Website. --> www.t1421.tk <--
On the page, you also find live rankings for the Main-Ranking, as well as your numbers for the Stamp-Rankings and Style-Ranking.Of course, the website is optional! You can join without using it to check your replay.
You don’t enter the event by uploading, you have to send me your replay via the Forum or Discord!

PS: there are 4 small changes I made to the map. Can you find them?
FAQ:
SpoilerTransformation is cheaper the a new Unit?
If you transform your Twilight unit into another, you only pay a part of the power costs:
In a T2 Unit: 85%
In a T3 Unit: 80%
In a T4 Unit: 75%Can I play Amii Monument?
No only twilight cards.Can I play Enlightenment?
No only twilight cards.How can I only play Twilight units? I need a pure card for T1.
On this map you start on T2. No need for T1 Units in your deck.The game is crashing when is try to start the map!
1. Close the game
2. Remove ALL *.PAK Files from the map folder (C:\Users\xxx\Documents\BattleForge\map\)
3. Re-download the map and try againCan I play for example Play Abomination [B] and transform another unit into Abomination [P]?
No. I short: You are only allowed do have one Affinity per card in your deck.At what point do you record my PvE Rank?
When you send in your replay I check in game. If you send in a new Replay i check again.
You may levelled up and might not be considered a new player anymoreMetagross31, Kapo and RadicalX like this -

autosave.pmv This is an sub 10 minutes replay... I think the rules are missing 1 point 😄 and that the website is counting cost of the cards wrong 😛
my checker I just made have the correct number I believe. Can you please check it?
Yeah well, indeed. The website is not expecting someone playing Test Striker in an Event 🤷♂️

This happened to me too, the other day. In my case the unit died between using the Transformation and the actively switch.
Like sacriefice, i was switching to a un-upgraded XL card. So there was only one charge to begin with. (in my case Abomination) -

"Spitfire, crashing down"haha was reading the CU, scrolling down to to defend my Spitfire and realized Majora was saw that coming 🤣
Still a very interesting card - cant wait to test this on flyer heavy maps.
And really like the LS changes -

8 bytes each would mean they overlap quite a lot with map file name, so no way they would be 162/153 in my example.
oh you mean 8 bits, not bytes... well these 16 bits are seed.interesting 😮 my interpretation looks like this
Spoiler
And for the Gold:
Cant get gold is Action-ID: 4043
Opening Gold is Action-ID: 4006Metagross31 likes this -

I start preparing something like this (as downloadable open source application), is it worth finishing?
few bugs:
- "DifficultyID:" is not filled for rPvE
- "GroupCount:", "DifficultyID2:", "Playtime2:", "PlayModeID2:", "PMVPlayerID2:", "ActionBlock:", "Unknow3:", "Unknow4:", "MatrixCount:", "TeamCount:" seems useless and confusing
- What even is "Unknow3:", and "Unknow4:"? I was not able to find matching values in the file
- "GameVersion:" should be 4 bytes earlier, and these 4 bytes should be "Client files version" (if you would like to match terminology used by the team)
- "WinningTeam:" shows loosing team for me
- "MapID:" using actual map name instead of ID seems like an good idea.
- 🤔 generating "not existing actions like "Build orb" seems weird
- What is action "Cant get Gold"?
- Renaming surrender to "Leave game" seems weird, because I do not need to leave the game yet
- showing "players" like "pl_Enemy1", "pl_EnemySpawned", "pl_Player1", "pl_Player2", "pl_Player4" seems confusing, because it shows no actions for them, so maybe filter out players without actions out? or maybe better, list only human players?
- movie_deck.pmv This replay causes error 520 which is not shown to the user, but the page is just reloaded after some time.I hope the "bug"/"suggestion"/"question" list isn't too long 🙂
xD yeah nice,
i should had to add in the first post that its currently in debug mode.
So it shows more information then you normally need + stuff which is still in development like WinningTeamI think i will add an option so "normal" mode is default.
Unknow3 and Unknow4 are 8 bytes each, before the MapID. Do you know what they are?
im not sure what you mean with GameVersion
My called GameVersion field is the current Patch level like 400039
The 4 bytes before that are call FileVersion in my code and is not show on the website at the moment, value something like 259"Cant get Gold" is when click on a chest, but your units is occupied.
4 hours ago, Kubik said:I start preparing something like this (as downloadable open source application), is it worth finishing?
You most certainly should continue / finish in my opinion.
As you have seen first hand, my website is by fare not good and needs some more fixing and polishing.
Having a tool form someone with insight, how BF is creating the replay files makes a way trustworthy applications, then a page made by a random guy.THX for you feed back

Hello there, People of the Sky,
Since the first Battle of Tactics I provide a website, on which you could check your replay if it is valid for the event. But why stop there!
So let me share with you the: Skylords Rebore Replay Checker:
--> https://www.t1421.de <--
On this page you can upload a replay and all information which can be read out of the file will be shown on the page.
At the moment I tested a lot with PvE replays, but PvP should work as well.There are tree tabs:
1. Head:
Here you can find the main information about the game
Map name, time, game version, etc.2. Deck:
Here you can see the cards from the decks.
The replay files only contain the full deck of the player who saved the file
For that player, cards which has not been played will be shown in gray.
For the other players only played cards a visible.3. Acti: (Actions)
Here you can see all actions of all players.
In short, an action is every time you click. Like play a card, switch the gate, move a unit,…
You can filter by player and action type.Please keep in mind, this is not an official website and I’m not part of the SLR-Team.
Some of the date could be wrong because in never encounter that specific scenario.I will continue working on the website at some point, but I’d like to share this first version with you, since some gave me feedback, that this early version is already very useful.
I what to give a BIG THANK YOU to @Maze
I´m using his API from the SMJ-Website for Card information’s, as well as for the card images.If you encounter a bug, feel free to contact me.
You also can request features, but implementations may take a long time.
(keep in mind I can only read date from the replay file, so stuff like “How many units died?” is not possible, because it’s calculated while you are watching the replay on your PC)See you in the Forge 😊

As example invest more of the Cards in booster. Why giving them a card to sell instead of a booster? Like u are getting Frost-Mage but yours is already full. Would u realy be happy about that? Or you get a Thunderwagon(R) but don't touch fire, I definitly would prefer a Booster because of Gambling or sell booster. Also that would make it easier for price Pool like 1-3 getting special prices, 4-10 nearly same amount of boosters and maybe something special and 11-20 the same+all the others the same like a price that everyone gets that take part.
With unsold cards u can make Give Aways during stream also with boosters or BFP leftovers. Because if u calculate the Values of the Cards u will definitly see there would had been enough BFP. Also the selling isn't that hard. +When u start the Stream of the event u anyway know how much players took part in the event and also u can say ok there wasn't so much players in the Event so we increase the price pool and start Stream Surveys with solutions how to increase it. So later on the peoples decide what happens not a Streamer.I agree withe you on that point too -> I like to open boosters too!!!
And thats the point why i dont have any left over booster, but instead i have left over cards i can share. (like a lot of other player too i guess 😅)About the streams. Im not sure if you joined one of my stream, but normally i have around 10 to 20 views.
Last BOT had 30 Player joining so, my streams are not a good indicator of how much are joining.
I think the @ everyone in Discord and the mention in the CU are the best advertisement BOT.Giveaways in the streams are nice and there will be boosters at the stream after the event.
But giveaways always slows the stream down. Player join the stream to see action and not me working out what the ingame name of a player is hehe 😐SpoilerBOT1 Stream was ~1h
and around 13 min where giveaways --> 20%
We could have watched another replay in that time
ALSO: For an event i want to give something back to the player who joined the event.
A lot of people cant watch my stream live and watch the VOD so they would never have a chance to get anything 😞
+ i know form some player who dont like my stream (which is totally ok) but the like my events.BUT!!!
The SLR Team send 20 more boosters
So players 11 and lower have a good chance to get one of them.Metagross31 likes this -

By the way if It should be more attractive to beginners u should adapt the price pools. As example High placed should get lesser reward because anyway get that High value Promo. Like 3 Boosters would be fine. Split the booster so that it would slighty Increase for Top ranking in BFP value gain. So that the lower ranks also get more rewards. I play a lot with a community and also a lot of new players. The Bad Harvest event was a good example, how Prices Could have worked. It was fun even for the newer players, because they said we want to get at least 3k points or Hey help me get 7k points for more booster. I think if everyone gets Booster, a lot of more players would do it.
An example:
Place Reward
1 Construct (Promo)+2booster
2 Rogan Kayle (Promo)+2booster
.....
everyone that take part will get A Booster, just for sending in replay. That Booster doesn't count into Price pool what means as example place 1 to 3 get 3booster. All below rank 11 get one of the Random card. If there isn't enough players for the Price Pool with the Random cards they get randomly chosen.
So the beginners would say ok I will do it just for the booster and the Random cards. A lot of players will see ok it is doable and i can optimise it a bit. So a lot of more players would take part of it and enjoy the event to be better or at least better than their low level friends. Like a small competition between the newer player.THX for the feed back. Im totally on your side: getting new players in the event is always nice.
But keep in mind: its a event hosted by a community member and not by the SLR-Team.I dont have the resources to send out boosters to all players.
I can only work with the 20 Boosters i get from the Team -> rank 1-10I already put in 15k of BFP in cards to the price pool and Octochicken, Bupyc, Trando and Kapo provided a total of 18k in cards
--> But i can not plan that. Im just luck and happy that they help me out here. And im lucky that i got the Promo Construct. (which i could have sold and keep the BFP for my self 😏 )I think the random draw for place 11 - 35 is a good middle way. (with the community support)
So players who join get something, even if they are not in the top 10. (and a Mine is more BFP the the place ten 1xBooster 😐 )
Thats why i increased the cards from BOT1 = 8 Cards -> BOT2 = 16 Cards -> BOT3 = 25 CardsBut as fare as i know, the SLR-Event-Team is investigating the Event-Prize-Thematic so we may see changes in the future 👍
