Guild export field suggestion

Jenlor · Post by **Jenlor** » Mon Sep 12, 2005 11:17 am

First, thanks for the Guild export feature. It's a great help to guildmasters.

One thing that would help me would be if Honor Rank was one of the fileds exported out. An integer would be fine so you don't have to seperate Alliance/Horde ranks out. Either way.

Good idea, I'll see what I can do.

Yes, yes. That would be a great new feature to have! I def need it to keep my guild's roster's honor ranks update!

I added in pvp honor rank if available. It should be an integer that will correspond with the rank. If no rank is available, it will be empty (null).

hmm, I did a census yesterday afternoon, and did a guild export this morning and the only field in the spreadsheet are:

CharName,Race,Class,Level,LastSeen,GuildRank

Hrm... I'll have a look

Give it another shot now. It should be working correctly now.

another question:
in your BDD in what format are you stocking the race and classe
as plain text ie "night elfes" or as int value ?

Post by **Rollie** » Tue Oct 25, 2005 12:03 pm

It is currently in plain text.

thank for your answer
I looked for an easy way to translate the info in french
I think I will resort to string comparation

Thanks for adding this feature. However, when I look at the .csv file, if the user doesn't have a rank the field it black (which is ok), but if the user does have a PVPRank, the numeric value it 4 higher that it actually is. I always have to do a -4 if isnot nil to get the actual level.

The values are what are returned when you query someone's rank in game. There are actually lower ranks that I have not seen utilized in game. Things for negative honor. I suppose it might be possible to get them now, I don't know. Perhaps by accumulating lots of DKs. But anyway, that is the reason =)

Where do you put the "-4 if is not nil" in your code?

Post by **Rollie** » Mon Nov 07, 2005 9:29 am

I don't understand. What do you mean?

That question was directed to Jenlor. I do have a question for you Rollie. Is there a way for you to use the actual rank instead of the number like you do on the sigs? Btw youre site is great. I am very glad I found it.

Post by **Rollie** » Mon Nov 07, 2005 5:28 pm

The problem there is due to differing languages. Using the indexes that match up with the in game ranks works best imho.

Jenlor · Post by **Jenlor** » Thu Nov 10, 2005 12:25 pm

If you do a guild export on my guild, it has my toon "PVPRank" listed as "9" when I am actually "Rank 5". If you look at the whole spreadsheet, any toon with a PVPRank are all listed as 5 and above, no 1-4 at all.

In my spreadsheet I have to subtract 4 in that colum to get the person's actual PVP Rank.

Maybe they are saving those for some type of DK demotions?

The PvP page used to have the following information:

There are also dishonorable kills, and these would include killing lower level PCs and NPCs, and especially non-aggressive NPCs like gryphon masters and quest givers. If you repeatedly make dishonorable kills, you'll eventually go into the negative ranks, and lose experience and become attackable on sight by both factions. Our intention is to punish dishonorable behavior and reward honorable PvP play.

(See Google cache.)

It has since been changed to read:

However, should enough PvP combat occur in Battlegrounds or if the number of Dishonorable Kills escalates to such a degree that it hampers general gameplay, we may well step in and institute a penalty for Dishonorable Kills.

So yeah, there were negative ranks at one point, but they may not exist today.
