A minor update (way more minor than the ones by
@dreadnaut in last year's thread (https://forum.stunts.hu/index.php?topic=4310.0)): in the sent replays stats page (https://zak.stunts.hu/index.php?page=statreplay), the bar chart for specific races now includes days before the official start (a common case being the Sundays when a track is posted), and subtly highlights the days in which the different phases of the race begin (official start, non-public days, and quiet days).
Behind the scenes, we've moved all results and replays to a new database table. That sounds dry, but it cleans up a bunch of sharp edges, and will make things easier in the future.
Two minor changes are immediately visible:
- ties appear correctly on both track and season scoreboards
- teams on the track scoreboards are now links!
The scoreboards for 2001-2003 are currently empty. I'm waiting for the end of ZCT285 before I copy the old data to the new table. Once that is done, 2001-2003 submission will be included in the statistics!
Recent season scoreboard have gained tiny medals, showing podium results! (pre-2022 pages coming soon) The same medals also appear on the profile page 🥇🥈🥉

(as usual, you might need to hard-refresh the page to see the changes, e.g., Ctrl-F5)
Nice work! Thanks for the update!
niiiice work!!
Cool! 8)

As advertised, those scoreboard pages are now filled again, and several of the stats already pull 2001-2003 data :)

The statistics will also pick up some of the early years, although the number of submitted replay will remain artificially low — we don't have full records
@zaqrack designed most of the tracks in the first 15 years of the competition (
🤯) and, that being the default, the website didn't show his authorship. I've fixed this hole with the information I could find in the wiki (https://wiki.stunts.hu/wiki/ZCT), but I think at least one track (ZCT046 (https://zak.stunts.hu/tracks/ZCT046)) was incorrectly labelled there.
If those who might remember could have a look at the list, I can correct any mistakes! Otherwise, enjoy the long list of tracks created by Zak!

(argh, the "space in the name" bug is not entirely fixed, I'll look into the another day)
I've added Unicode support to the forum chat (https://forum.stunts.hu/chat/), bring all the emojis 🎉
At the same time, I've removed or turned off a bunch of things that made it behave more like IRC than a simple chat. Let me know what you think:
- Made the ChatBot less chatty, so it doesn't announce login / logout
- Disabled all channels except the main one: since 2008, there's been only ~100 messages in other channels, and the largest chunk were spam
Also:
- Removed the zebra background
- Removed the sound code, which required Flash and stopped working a decade ago
- Removed some extra bits we'll never use (e.g., Ruby server support, shoutbox support)
thank you for the updates

Thank you! Those scoreboards shows a lot of learning and fun!
I have finally built the coefficient chart I first dreamt of in 2023 (https://forum.stunts.hu/index.php?topic=4195.0). Head to the track pages to have a look.
Still a work in progress (in particular colours and getting car names in a good place), but let me know what you think!

It looks very good!
Very nice! Are you planning to have option to add/remove cars from the chart? Also would it be possible to add a subtle horizontal+vertical line inside the chart that intersect mouse pointer?

I considered initially, but it's not worth the complexity of the UI. You can already add cars by submitting a lap with the car you want ;D
Good idea about some kind of 'crosshair' to help compare results!

This is a really nice visualisation! At the moment, the main thing I'm wondering about is whether it would make sense to have the chart on a separate page, so that it doesn't have to fight for screen real estate with everything else on the scoreboard page, and we have room for extra eyecandy if we want it. (For instance, it might be cool to replicate the graphical scoreboard under the chart, as it lines up with the x-axis.)
Oooh, I think you just gave me a great idea. Let's see if I can make time this weekend!
Oh! This is super cool! 8) It's no longer just math in our mind; it's now visible :D
