Hi players! Today I am pulling the wraps off a little project I've been working on to support community involvement in Old World.
Old World Leaderboards!
In the past, a community member used to run an Old World GOTW ladder, where every week players submitted their save files, and they were rated on turn number to win. Unfortunately this community member has moved on and no longer runs these weekly ladders. So the past few months I have been working on a leaderboard website, so players can again upload their saves and compete for bragging rights against their fellow players!
I'm sure there's still a bug or two, so I apologise in advance.
How it works:
1. Visit the site: http://dales.world/OldWorldLeaderboards.aspx
2. Find your completed save in /Documents/MyGames/OldWorld/Saves/Completed/ using the save file browse button.
3. If you created a timeline gif you may also attach it using the appropriate browse button.
4. Enter a name to be known as on the leaderboard.
5. Hit UPLOAD!
Your save file (and timeline gif if included) will be uploaded and added to the leaderboards. Leaderboards are separated by game name, so each GOTW will automatically hook into the correct leaderboard. If you have a community save with its own "GameName" set in the save file, they will have their own leaderboard. If you just submit a normal SP game, it'll go on the "Standard New Game" leaderboard.
If there are any errors, blame @Solver . I do.
