Gish time trial!

[madd-dawgg]

I don't mean to be rude, but how can you get point five eight? The game only does tenths of seconds not hundreths.

[Jonathan_NL]

It displays .1, but internally it uses .02, which it stores in its high-score file as well.

[madd-dawgg]

1 . 0 4 . 6X  Baby! Took only two hours this time. I don't know how to check the hiscore file so I don't know what my hundreths are, but it's probably .60. Either way, I don't know how I did that.

Cool. I'll have to check it out.

[Jonathan_NL]

If you send me the gish.his file (or put it on some webspace) I can verify it (am at my PowerBook now, so no Windows replays). Tell me if you also want all other times in the his file.

[Jonathan_NL]

I'm trying to write a gish.his reader now...

[madd-dawgg]

I'm surprised you didn't post a better score instead. I just nailed it again: got 1:05.3.  Here's the hiscore file:

Thanks a lot by the way.

Ya, I first tried just converting to .txt... just garbage. Then I used a hex-editor. Man, I'm not much of a programmer, heh.

Your program would be mighty nifty.

[Jonathan_NL]

Actually I just DID beat you: 1:05.76!

Your times on level 12 are:

 1 1:05.32
 2 1:04.42
 3 1:04.38
 4 1:03.48
 5 1:03.02
 6 1:02.90
 7 1:02.64
 8 1:02.42
 9 1:02.40
10 1:02.24
11 1:01.72
12 1:01.66

(but where's 1:04.6x?)

[Jonathan_NL]

The format looks really simple, but I haven't found a real structure yet. If I see a certain number of non-Empty names (I'm the only one playing it on this computer) with certain times (game-reported time == decoded gish.his time with last digit cut off, for all times for that level) I know I have the right one, but telling a computer to do that is harder than figuring out the exact format, I think...

[madd-dawgg]

Dang back to killing myself trying to beat another score for that level. I swear you must be using a different method. Would you mind sending me your mac replay? I could load it on my friend's mac or at school. Otherwise, I think I might just end up forfeiting because I spend hours trying to get a good time and you spent five minutes ::sadness::.

I have Gish installed on two of my comps. Some1 was using my main comp for an mmog, so I was using old comp. That's why that score wasn't on that hiscore file.

[madd-dawgg]

Maybe the best solution is for the next patch to just include the last digit?

How about this? http://www.pontifex2.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':D'>

-- Times for level 12 --
 1 1:04.58 Jonathan
 2 1:04.30 Jonathan
 3 1:03.88 Jonathan
 4 1:03.72 Jonathan
 5 1:03.70 Jonathan
 6 1:03.58 Jonathan
 7 1:03.56 Jonathan
 8 1:03.56 Jonathan
 9 1:02.94 Jonathan
10 1:02.94 Jonathan
11 1:02.66 Jonathan
12 1:02.50 Jonathan
13 0:00.00 Empty
14 0:00.00 Empty
15 0:00.00 Empty
16 0:00.00 Empty

So 16 times (clipped to 12, only 10 displayed) are stored for 0-31 (1-23 used) levels.

1:06.00 currently. http://www.pontifex2.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'>
