It appears there is no working way to remove a clan. Trying to leave the clan as the admin always results in an Internal Server Error, followed by the message "The clan admin can not leave the clan." after refresh. Using the "Disband" option always results in the message "Could not destroy clan".

This happens even when the admin is the only member remaining in the clan.

junethack via hackedhead: on my junethack user page, i have a "manage clans" entry repeated, (i had two, and now that i added a third server, i have it 3 times)

The list of competition score entries should probably not show "No ascensions yet" for games where the player has never played a game in.

via allihaveismymind: why does it say under users i have 13 trophies, but 20 when i check my clanpage?

Trophy for defeating a new unique boss - Saint Michael (appears in purgatory, bright magenta boss Angel). In the xlogfile, will show up under 'killed_uniques' as 'Saint Michael'. Can use https://junethack.net/icons/m-astral.png as the icon, color could probably be bright magenta.

Trophy for entering Purgatory, shows up under achieveX as 'entered_purgatory'. Can use https://junethack.net/icons/c-highest-score.png as the icon, whatever color change makes sense.

Trophy for defeating another unique, Gollum. Shows under 'killed_uniques' as 'Gollum'. Can use https://junethack.net/icons/entered_the_gnomish_mines.png as the icon, maybe shade it light gray.

EDIT - this graphic https://junethack.net/icons/entered_moria.png recolored to bright magenta would be a great replacement for the goblin king glyph.

Thanks!

dNethack has one new role this year: the Madman (file code "Mad"), which will need to be added to the dNethack Tour trophy (I'm going to create a second suggesting the removal of the dNethack prince and king trophies, the tour one I kind of like the idea of).

All trophies now have names listed (which is clearly the important part, not the artwork <_<). I've separated out the new trophies from the old ones.

The first three trophies are straightforward achieveX tags, the first for finishing the Madman quest, the other two for defeating Lamashtu and Baalphegor (it seemed odd that Demogorgon and Asmodeus had trophies but those two didn't).

The last pair of trophies is a bit more complex, but I think still straightforward to add. There is a set of three _vault achieveX tags, and I'm proposing giving out the first trophy when a player earns any one of those tags, and the second trophy once a player has earned all three of those tags (across however many games that takes). If that's not actually straightforward to handle, there could just as easily be one trophy per _vault flag.

Currently 2011-07-18 07:30:00Z a game of zid http://junethack.rawrnix.com/user/zid is recorded 10 times.

That was to be expected as there is no real transaction handling and when something goes wrong while fetching games, it just stops with possibly some games already imported but the timestamp of the xlogfile not being updated (to not lose any games).

ie the string "~|:{" (and possibly other non-standard clan names) is preventing creation of clearspan on /home, ie div#clanmanager div.account-clan span.clear. Result is that the last section with the form that creates a new clan is not cleared. This causes it to be cut off outside the central content box.

making the trophy unmotivating for any other variant.

This could be on /scoreboard or /clans, or both. At the moment, the only way for a viewer to find out relative clan standing for any clans other than the top 3 is to visit two clans separately and remember the score or placing between them.

Possibilities:

• scoreboard: display all (or 10 for example) instead of 3 - since we have quite a few more than 3 clans.
• scoreboard: clickable option to "view more" clans and display more than 3
• clans: have additional column(s) with clan score and/or placing

Unless there's a good reason to keep it at 3, of course :)

Status

• /login and /register are not being validated clientside yet
• a very basic script has been written (see webmocks login.html, scripts.js), may not be symlinked to /public
• script gives feedback but does not prevent form submission.
• script currently performs whitespace trimming and checks for empty fields.

Maybe this could be achieved by taking the # junethack2011 username out of their rcfile - I have not tested this - but it would be nice to be able to deregister an account for the tournament within the tournament site too.

A page that describes the new features, new variants, lost oldhack, etc.?

Leaving no one as admin. Not sure how this works, just watching demilichens. Shouldn't this either disband the clan or leave someone else in charge?

• Better delineation between navigation items
• make the home logo more in line with the rest of the navigation, right now it seems to jut out
• left aligning the navigation means the centered logo and dividers now look odd come up with a less centred solution that stays true to the original spirit of the design. Maybe a more grid-like layout?
• add drop down menus to enable access to hierarchy of a lot of otherwise diverse pages

If you invite the same person more than once, there will be more than one invitation.

This was raised in irc, I don't remember by whom. The example was that "killed by a couatl" should be indistinct from "killed by a couatl of $DEITY". There are probably other examples.

If inviting somebody (e.g. Alice) fails, the error message says
"Could not find Alice on 1"
where 1 should really be the server display_name

With at least 6 different variants, it's reasonable to add cross-variant achievements when having done the cross-variant achievements in at least half the variants.

Webmocks I assume was originally some kind of drafts communication folder. It seems to have grown into far more than that, having images linked directly into there as well as much (presumed) clutter from previous years.

• How do we go about tidying it up? (Does anyone know?)
• Is it possible to move important graphics stuff into its own folder, reassigning links in the logic as we go?
• If not, what bits can we get rid of?

• At least 4 different designs of the logo are being used throughout the site (eg favicon)
• Some parts of the design are relatively polished, while others are barely styled at all.
• Some parts have one design aesthetic (eg, gradients with drop shadows and slightly round corners) while others use conflicting aesthetics (eg, flat shadowless sharp edges; very large round corners).

These may date from 2011 when the deadline was more urgent and branding/design was rather of a lesser importance. Eventually it would be nice to see a more coherent overall design.

It's got some server-only bug meaning you can't really play a game for any length of time before it crashes repeatedly and unrecoverably.

<Soviet5lo> As for the crashes Bluescreen and a few others all collectively agree it's due to random corruption in mons[]

In one game I had, whenever I tried to wish the game would crash. I was told (by Bluescreen) that as I continued playing the game would get progressively more corrupted and eventually would not even load. The next time I logged on to continue the game (I was going to die creatively), it had disappeared off the server completely and was not logged as part of Junethack. The game was not able to be recovered.

In the second game, I played as a doppelganger monk, but whenever I #youpoly, the game would crash. Hard to be a doppelganger who can't poly! Same bug, apparently. At least this time I was able to die before the game disappeared off the server, so as to have my achievements recorded for Junethack.

Anyhow, a game that is broken (not in terms of being too hard, but in terms of instability and crashes) should not be part of Junethack.

I would argue that it even be removed this month (how can I ascend in every variant when you cannot ascend in SlashTHEM because of corruption bugs? though let's be honest, I'm not going to ascend in every variant anyway). However, I do understand that many players have devoted time to it already(e.g. it's great for unique deaths simply due to the large number of monsters), and to remove SlashTHEM half way through the month would waste that time, so probably best to leave it in this year.

I never came round to write up what the conditions are for most unique deaths.

https://github.com/junethack/Junethack/blob/master/normalize_death.rb

Also, how the deaths were normalized was really ad-hoc and not really well thought out.

For example, I'm not sure if "hallucinogen-distorted" really needs to be stripped.

dNethack is the only variant with its own Prince and King trophies. While they served at least a theoretical purpose originally, they're now largely redundant with the per-role quest trophies and per-race ascension trophies, have been getting more difficult to earn with each passing year, and require special handling to award. They were also not earned last year, and have either never or almost never been earned.

Although basically all of those points apply to the dNethack Tour trophy, I still like it in theory because it doesn't require making it to the mid-to-late game. However, I would understand if you also dropped support for dNethack Tour. The bit where it's rarely-to-never actually earned certainly suggests that it serves no purpose.

http://junethack.rawrnix.com/clan/Team+Fountain takes about 6 seconds to load.

Not obvious why. Investigate.

Look at the proposed unique death normalization from these two posts:
http://mathematicalcoffee.blogspot.com.au/2014/07/junethack-2014-is-over.html http://74.135.83.0:8018/nethack-stuff/junethack-unique-deaths-comments-2014-jonadab.html

a faq would have been nice

entries:

• tournament duration
• what happens to games if I register late?
• etc

Add links to 2011 and 2012 static copies.

Would be best if hosted on same server as junethack 2013.

Original behavior was to allow a user to add multiple accounts on the same server to a user. What happened to this? Tjr would very much like it to be implemented.

Could be displayed better. These are non-essential changes.

• non-table format
• table format with more spacing and styling (eg no "accept" / "decline" table heading cell - not necessary)
• more consistent margins
• "accept"/"decline" links styled more elegantly
• "leave" link (for a current clan) styled so the user knows they are a separate clickable entity, not part of the clan name

Xaiph on nfi is in a different clan to xaiph on NAO, the two accounts belong to the same user. However, currently both clans receive all the points from both accounts.

Behaviour should either be restricted to:

• one clan per user across all their accounts, OR
• clan score consists only of scores of accounts that are in that clan, regardless what the account's user's other accounts' scores are. (whew)

For that, we need to know the URL of the new site first. :-)

An improvement to the Junethack site would be a simple summary of 1) Total ascensions per variant and 2) Total ascensions per player.

After registration, a user may experience a 404 error while adding a server account. I am told this is caused by the case sensitivity of the server account name parser and can be easily solved by the user giving the correct case of their server account. The error message should communicate this. A 404 error does not intuitively explain the problem or what the user can do to solve it.

Alternatively the name parser could be made case insensitive.

From IRC:

[21:55:50] Squolly\unfoog | dunno if it is fixed, but different users can link the same account
[21:56:08] Squolly\unfoog | and some strange inconsistency seems to happen in that case

Probably won't happen unless people co-operate to do this.

slextrophies2021.zip

This adds new trophies for SLASH'EM Extended 2.70, which are encoded in the achieveX xlogfile string. The new trophies are:
devnull_complete = s-devnull.png "visited all DevNull challenges"
killed_minotaur = s-minotaur.png "killed the Minotaur of the Maze"
killed_kalwina = s-kalwina.png "killed Kalwina"
killed_stahngnir = s-stahngnir.png "killed Lord Stahngnir"
killed_ariane = s-ariane.png "killed Lady Ariane"
completed_rivalquest = s-rivalquest.png "completed the Rival Quest"
completed_minusworld = s-minusworld.png "completed the Minus World"
killed_vera = s-vera.png "killed Vera the Ice Queen"
killed_elaine = s-elaine.png "killed Elaine the Enchantress"

On the Junethack trophies page for SLEX, please sort them such that the ones that aren't for killing specific monsters are sorted with the other misc trophies (imbued bell of opening, imbued amulet of yendor etc.) :-)

New clan trophies are best added before the tournament starts for transparency reasons.

"Most points" must be replaced as scoring is heavily broken in vanilla. We knew that already last year but there was no time to replace it then and we would have missed Berry's completely pwning of hist score ascensions.

In these files

views/_trophy_scores.haml
views/games_played.haml
views/user.haml
views/home.haml

there should be added a :alt => $trophy_names[...] at the appropiate places for having alt tags on the trophy images.

I'm not at home right now, so cannot really test it before comitting, so I'll log it here.

Still using inline style width/height - this needs to be removed and the structure of .trophycabinet > ul > li > a.imagelink > img.trophyright implemented, exactly as per /user/name.

Clan admins cannot leave their clan, eg, if they want to join another one.

Attached a pic for the trophy. I don't have the tools to make a lightened version.

In lib/junethack/models/trophy.rb around line 301, add:
achievements << [:defeated_goblin_king, 'defeated the Goblin King', "defeated_goblin_king.png", 10]

"claaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaan" has been made as a clan name, breaking the prettytable. usernames and clan names should be restricted to a certain char length.

• add notdnethack/evilhack
• add generic cross-variant achievements
• fix up text for cross-variant achievements on /trophies
• new pictures for cross-variant achievements
• update FAQ for 2019
• SpliceHack death messages
• remove lowest sum

Win condition: finish a game with the Valkyrie role and the "completed quest" vanilla achievement. (Same as the Arc quest trophy last year.)

Name: completed_arc_quest

Description: completed the revised Valkyrie quest

For example, trophy ideas, or ways to improve the website, or report bugs.

• Github: It is not intuitive to require a user to sign up to and navigate through github to report issues. The repo is primarily for people interested in development.

• junethack: This is somewhat intuitive, however it is a fleeting medium and issues reported here are either dealt with in passing or forgotten unless also reported at github. NB: If at the time of reporting the reporting user happens to meet with a developer who is present, capable and willing to solve the issue at that moment, it may be solved at that point, however:

  • this does not happen often (present, capable and willing)
  • this does not take advantage of the whole team's knowledge to provide an answer
  • this is not visible to future developers looking back at previous years' projects unless it was also noted in the log or issues page.

Suggestions

• Add a feedback/contact form on the website itself that would post issues to github
• Allow a bot in #junethack to post issues to github (would require moderation)
• Allow a bot in #junethack to collect suggestions and feedback from users for later perusal by developers willing to register or deal with the issues themselves.

As visible on http://junethack.rawrnix.com/user/Ykstort, the competition trophies for a variant (fastest gametime, fastest realtime, etc) are not being displayed, where they were before.
