Competition 246

Congrats to clouded for winning (although the ladder doesn't show it).

I'm not sure what pav did - I pointed him at this post of yours.

Excellent! How are the winning dumps detected? If it's through looking for a message in character dump, I'll have to list some more unique winning/losing messages.

[Nick]

So pav has updated the ladder to include score, and order by score. He's updated winner detection too, but that will only kick in for new dumps (and so is untested).

[Cryomaniac]

Looks like winners still aren't being parsed properly; how does the server determine if a character dump is a winning one?

[Nick]

Also changing the character name will do it.

There's a link under the comment box that says "protect dump from being overwritten"

[Cryomaniac]

If I've posted a post game over dump, can I upload further attempts in that competition? If yes, how do I make it so that the old dump won't get overwritten?

Competition 246 is now up - it is a Hengband Touhou Katteban Mighty Celestial Magic-Knight with the Enchantment realm. Winner is fastest real-time game winner, ladder ordered by score (or that's the plan, anyway).
