Commander scoring

[OuTLaWzSm]

I'm trying to get the commander badge, how does the point scoring system work for the commander? I kill someone and get no points or I heal and get no points. Hows it work and how do I get 40 points in one game?

Re: Commander scoring

Each time a member of your time neutralizes a flag = 1 pt, cap = 1 pt. Spot an enemy that gets killed = 1 pt.

And lead your men to the enemy flags.

NO!

The Commander's score is the average of the soldiers' scores. He gets no points in tandem with other players' scores, and he does not get points for ANYTHING he does. No Spotting, UAV, Scan, Artillery, Supplies, Orders or Common Scoring (using your gun or giving health) gives you points when you are a commander.

The key to getting commander points is to aid your team to the best of your strategic ability, because helping them get their score higher will make your score higher, and of course winning the round gets you double points.

Re: Commander scoring

actually i think no one will know until EA just realeses the dang stats stuff. They act like its top secret and stuff.

Re: Commander scoring

It's no secret, just watch the scoreboard while you command.

Of course I don't. I don't know anything.

I must have imagined looking at the python file that states exactly how the commander gets his score.

Yes you must have imagined it.

Re: Commander scoring

I always thought it was average. And I still think it is average.

Re: Commander scoring

# give commander score for every player score
def addScore(player, points, subScore = NORMAL, subPoints = -1):

	# commander doesnt get score for regular actions, only for pure commander tasks. he also gets punishing points.
	if not player.isCommander() or subScore == CMND or points < 0:
		player.score.score += points
		if subPoints == -1:
			subPoints = points
		
		# sub score
		if subScore == RPL:
			player.score.rplScore += subPoints
		if subScore == SKILL:
			player.score.skillScore += subPoints
		if subScore == CMND:
			player.score.cmdScore += subPoints
		
	# commander score
	commander = bf2.playerManager.getCommander(player.getTeam())
	if commander != None and commander.isValid() and subScore != CMND and player != commander and points > 0:
		preScore = commander.score.score
		numPlayers = bf2.playerManager.getNumberOfAlivePlayersInTeam(commander.getTeam())
		if numPlayers > 0:
			commander.score.score += float(points) / numPlayers
			scoreGotten = commander.score.score - preScore
			if scoreGotten > 0:
				commander.score.cmdScore += scoreGotten

So... if a player who isn't commander has a score of -1 or less, he does not get put into the average, how nice.

If one knows the procedure of averaging, that is the total of all object values divided by the number of objects (ex. (1+2+3)/3=2), you will notice "commander.score.score += float(points) / numPlayers".

The commander's score equals the total points divided by the number of soldiers. All of the code before that is code that accrues points from soldiers and exempts -1 scorers, the opposite team and the commander himself from the total points and makes the variable "points", which is then divided by the number of players on that side.

Nowhere else in "scoringCommon.py" in the "mods/bf2/game" folder shows that the commander gets points for actions (common or commmander facilities) he does, and that is the only python file that dictates how scoring works, because he doesn't, and it is only the average of his soldiers.

You are wrong, Gunner. You do not know what you are talking about. Stop telling lies to guys who may become good commanders and don't let me go all alone against an oppressive enemy force.

Care to tell us which python file and quote the part where it says how the score is calculated?


***EDIT***

Ah there we go. Just had to wait a while
