Is it possible to tell if a game was played in QS or Game Browser?

Post by Interjection »

I was wondering if there's any way to verify how a game was played (Quick search / Game browser) using the JP Community ELO rating site or some other service that tracks game stats?

Obviously I could ask the players but I'd like a system better than that :P

Maybe something that tells you if trade monopoly was available, because I think in QS trade monopoly is unavailable.

Ahh that's actually interesting. But there's nothing that will directly verify it? Because TP Monopoly comes with the problem of also including game browser games where it was disabled

Pretty sure when there is a capital letter it's a qs map, and without it's hosted lobby. At least worked for gp

Maybe there's some game script or something in the files that would tell you, @aizamk

If a game lasted less than 2 min, it was 100% qs although it's not a very solid criterion.
The capital-lettered maps trick can't be generalized.

Games played via quick search have trade monopoly disabled. But you obviously can't check this if trade monopoly is never a factor.

Buckethead has been working on a recorded game analyser. Maybe there's a discrepancy between games played via QS and game lobby, so maybe he can help you.

This works with most RE maps but not on EP.
If someone sends me a QS recorded game I can check if have have something different.

Edit:
Mimsy sent me some games QS recorded games (ty).
QS and Lobby games have some different things but as you want check in JP Elo this is not very useful, although this discovery is interesting

Thanks for all the help! Got some pretty exciting stuff planned if I can find a way to verify this, I'll write up a forum post in the next few weeks or so

You can tell the difference between a picked map, written in small letters, and a map randomly picked from a mappool, written with capital letters at start. So if someone picks great plains you can tell its a game browser game, but you cant tell a game browser game hosted on standard maps apart from a qs game

There is a trick with rec rename app. I think it shows -1 for hc level if the game was played on qs, and a real lvl if it was hosted.

just a side note: fast speed automatically makes the game unrated
