Title: MKW Stats Glitch
Post by MrL1193 on 09/02/12 at 20:49:18

I was looking at the stats pages recently, and I noticed that, starting from August 31st, they seem to be glitched in a rather strange way. Two players who were recently added to the site--Nafumo Chan and Prant San--don't appear at all in the stats, but "whitewhite" and "Nawhite " are listed as new players instead. Both these erroneous names, along with another new player, Bob Brannen, appear in very strange ways in the AF and SR sections (such as having a random rank and 0 AF, or having random SR's of 1 second or less), though none of these oddities appear on the actual site.

Could someone take a look at this? It doesn't seem like the problem is going away on its own, and I'm quite curious about what might have caused it.

It's because we crossed the 1000 mark. I'll fix it. ;D

shadow, any idea why that happened? I mean, whitewhite sounds like a cool guy and all, but is there a rationale behind his emergence on the charts? (Just curious why whitewhite appeared, and not something like redred, and why passing the 1000 mark is significant. lol)

Yeah, I'm kind of curious about that too. I'm also wondering if the "+/-nan" cuts were related to the name "Nawhite" in any way.

It's just a product of poor coding. I only made room for 1000 players 4 years ago and so data was trying to write and read memory areas it shouldn't, causing weird stuff to pop out. As for where exactly whitewhite came from, I have no idea...there are no mkwii players named white..maybe it was from the html it was generating, as the names are "white" in color.
To followup my poor initial decision, this exact problem will happen again when we reach 3000 players. ;D

Hmmm....I went on the MKWii PP AF Rankings, it looks like the AF change spazzed out. I had a 1.5 AF cut an hour ago, and now it went up.

It says -5.9 for Sean Owens on the af page.

Don't forget to reset that column back to 0 after making an update, or the numbers will carry over to the next update and you would have lost track of who did what. Reset the column via the updating pages where you update the times and click "Zero tables".

But that's the problem. I did right after I posted the news update...
