My badges work

Thank you guys. I removed admin permissions and now it works like a charm.
I have a question about the 5 minutes mode. Do I need to finish a game and exit within 5 minutes?
Because when I'm in the middle of a play and reach 5 minutes, the game will auto exit, that score will be recorded even if the play didn't finish?

[Mike DA Spike]

Yes indeed. If you exit a 5 minutes game before the time reach it, it will be uploaded as 5 min game.
Scutters made a good plugin for starting the challange and 5 min challange for PinballX.

[dacstyle]

What if I'm still playing the first game when reach 5 minutes and the game closes itself. That partial score will be noted?

Yes, thats the meaning of 5 min game. It closes the game and the score for player 1 will be extracted and send to DNA's website.

I thought that for the score to be recorded the game had to end.

Looks like you have experience in these procedures. It was painful?

that was with the beta test....now the program also wipes your  memory of the whole ordeal
toilet visits might be stressfull though for a few days

Nope, never had that problem, i am long done before the 5 minutes is up.

There is something rare on my profile. I get 3rd position on F-14 tomcat weekly normal mode but that isn't noted on my profile, but I have one 3rd position on "5 minute mode" though I never played before. The first "5 minutes mode" for me is still live (Silverball Mania).

You simply do not remember, due to the probing

I have often that my 5 minute mode is showed as 'normal'. The 5 minute isn't turned off yet (Yes @DNADisturber, I have my audio on now to check it/ Although my neighbors doesn't like when I'm playing around 5:00 AM )

Even when the game is ended by the PINemHi_Leaderboard.exe it still post occasionally the score to a normal game, even when the 5 minute mode is still toggled.

 

but never had the other way around.

 

You can check the pinemhi_leaderboard_log.txt to see if you didn't accidentally start a 5 min game

Just two minutes before the deadline of the weekly challenge, I was in the 3rd position. It was correctly recorded because I checked it several times during the day. Also I never played "lights camera action" in my life.

Hi dacstyle,

if the weekly challenge ends only the winner of the weekly challenge gets credited for it.
You'll see that one below when you activate the new weekly challenge

You did do a score on 5min mode challenge from this week, that is on silverball mania
The lights camera action score probably is the previous winner (1 week earlier) below the list of the current weekly challenge
So if you saw that one you were in 5min mode..pressing the key again for 5 minute mode activation to disable it and when you do a weekly challenge the new "normal" one will appear

If you think you still have issues then probably a screenshot/picture would be nice to see what's going on

Hi Mike , still think this is caused by the challenge launcher though
I'm not sure how you start and end your games but in my logging i sometimes see some strange behaviour with it (only happens with your username ),
Think it's related to the launcher as it are games from the challenges (normal and 5min)
maybe this could also be the cause?

The blank sent scores only appear in the logs near your scores... happens in normal and 5min mode 
It's always the tech guys with their homebrew solutions 

  haha
Maybe this helps in figuring it out

Hello DnaDisturber:

This is what I mean:

https://prnt.sc/HZiQxMl-pQ39

 

I never get that 3rd place in the 5 minutes mode.

And I got 3rd place in normal mode, but it is not noted in the normal mode table: 

https://prnt.sc/HnyLlWCTY5Kz

 

This is because I think the 1, 2 and 3 columns are for the top 3 places counted. Maybe I'm wrong and those columns are for other uses.

https://prnt.sc/uMOu6RZfX5tP

 

Sorry for the links to screenshots, but the forum don't allow me to upload images.

[DnaDisturber]

Hi dacstyle,

These have nothing to do with the weekly challenges.

This is how much 1st, 2nd and 3rd places you have on the scores of tables

So you have a 3d place on 5min mode because of this

Hopes this clears it up.
In hiscore section you can see the scores for a table (using the pulldown menu's)
Or on your computer if you selected the top 10 hiscores overall for that table (in the ini file)

Totally clear now. Thank you and sorry for my missunderstanding.
