Hi All,

I'm new to BTPro... spoke to St2 briefly and he mentioned that i could find information about how BTPRO points are awarded on the froum. Had a look and a search and cannot find any info? So just wondered, apart from taking part and winning how can you get more points?

For example does having higher profits retrieve more points?
Or Does moving more cargo make you get more points?
Or maybe giving competition to others?

Thanks,

I'll quote myself, on a post that I found with a quick search:

Therefore, we use a ScoreMultiplier, per server, to keep things balanced! And, fun fact about our points formula: on CV servers there's a CompanyValue (obviously) that's replaced for the Population if the Goal is CB, for BBGoals if server #33 or Cargo if for #31. So, the Company Value is only used directly if the goal is CV. Other secondary values used on points calculation are, and I'll start for the most important (that many players ignore): Performance , playedFor (time played), valueToPlaytimeRelation (some math to check Company Value evolution with the time played), companyVehicles (this number is set to 100, if below, because of very short goals), playtimeRelation (comparison between played time and game length). Basically are this ones, the rest are kinda residual, like number of competitors, due the map sizes we use.

I think the basics are all said there ^^

haha, I knew that your nickname sounded kinda familiar: www.n-ice.org/openttd/rules.php

damn, that was ages ago xD

NOOOOooooo HAHA! This is amazing. I'm glad my name lives on as a reminder so folk follow the rules xD!

Yeah that must of been 7(ish) years ago?! I dip in and out of games.... no idea why I'm dipping back into OTTD though, it consumes my life every time!

& thanks for the info ST2, you're definitely an OG at this, do you still play or just admin?

I'm just waiting for alex to pop up now...

I play from times to times, maybe a couple times a year... sadly

and alex won't pop, seems like he's the new north pole inhabitant ^^
