* NEW: GWF 2087 is locked and loaded! Look for it to show up in the Filsinger Games store in the near future.
* NEW: Title prestige has been added. The more prestigious a title is, the more the title victory will matter to the ranking personalities. There are four levels of prestige: Low, Medium, High, and Epic. You won't see any rankings increase because of a belt's prestige from where they are now, but you will see them go down. Standard belt prestige has been assigned as follows:
Galaxian Championship - Epic
Galaxian Tag Team Championship - High
GWF Interplanetary Championship - Medium
GWF Women's Championship - Low
GWF Heavy Metal Championship - Low
GWF Cruiserweight Championship - Low
aCe Championship - High
aCe Tag Team Championship - High
aCe Battlefield Title - High
All custom created belts have defaulted to Low. If you want a belt that you have previously created to be more prestigous than that, you will need to update it yourself using the modification tools in the system.
* NEW: You can choose to use shorter memories for the ranking personalities when generating your rankings. This will effectively cut the number of months that they count when looking back and determining their rankings in half. I recommend using this feature if you run several cards per month or if you would prefer to have old results drop off faster.
* TWEAK: Some unnecessary text has been removed.
* FIX: You can no longer assign a title change without for the "none" title.
* FIX: A rare problem with putting multiple title changes on the same card should be fixed.
* FIX: Several incorrect characters have been removed from card entries. Stupid Apache server not recognizing Osk's ellipses grumble grumble ...
Two notes. First off, because of the new features added to the ranking system, I've decided to hold off on tweaking the ranking personalities for the time being. We'll see how these changes work for everyone and then go from there.
Secondly, there will be no more scheduled Wednesday updates until October. I'll be spending the month of September working on the redesign of the Filsinger Games websites as well as taking a long-overdue vacation in there somewhere. I will still do small patches throughout the month, but those patches will be bug fixes only as I keep hacking at the list here in the forum.
