What do you guys think?

Seems sensible. I don't have too much time now and won't have so soon.

 

But I had a idea of using the game setup chat to share results. This way one can get faster to a bigger data base.

During the transmission one would spam the chat window one time with a big wall of text. So there may be some guard rails necessary against abuse, but then again any user can spam the chat.

So as I imagine it the broadcast would look something like this:
 

ffm: [LoacalRatings V0.28] Sharing my game results for team games:

Date Time (UTC+0) | Winnerteam | Loserteam

26.09.2026 20:00 | ffm(maur), a(iber), b(gaul), c(gaul) | d(gaul), e(gaul), f(gaul), g(gaul)

This data could then be separately saved and in doubt deleted if you believe someone gave false data or someone had weird settings.

Just as a sketch.

A downside could be that users snitch on other users how often they play, I don't know if that makes some uncomfortable. This data is already shared via the replays but to a smaller extend. I guess best would be not to share your gamer nick with your boss.

Edit: Actually this way whole replays could be transmitted. Don't know if one should. Maybe a new mod, share replays would be better. Host a game in the lobby for that purpose in the lobby, let some join that you want to share with and synchronize your data bases.

Is that something worth adding to replay pallas ?

A direct way down and up to replay pallas would be the best in long term.

Up: In bulk and with some save rails (e.g. no games under 4 min., no special setups for test with unlimited resources).

Down: In bulk, also with conditions (of players where I lack replays).

The current zip way over the web interface is limited AFAIK in the number of games and the user would select these games by hand currently.

What I described here was more peer to peer and easier to mod. A "share replays mod" could look like this: In the lobby one could have a new button "share replays" next to the others (host game, join game). Instead of the normal game setup one would have the normal setup chat, no game/map setup, but conditions of the games one would like to share. E.g. 4vs4, 3vs3, over 4 minutes etc.. With mod setting "incompatible" and only buddys able to join. That way RangerK and I could sync our data bases without wfg beeing involved (except of the game displayed in the lobby).

Both would benefit the LocalRatings mod
