It's 2nd day of Easter and 1st of April a perfect day for a release I would say.

A lot has happened, but long story short.
The website is "finally" online and ready to be used.

What is HaloRank?
HaloRank is a website which keeps track of your HaloPC and HaloCE multi-player statistics. While at the same time providing additional fun, through achievements, challenges and best of all ranks!

How does it work?
Basically it uses a server application which tracks your score and send it to the HaloRank database. The database processes all the scores submitted and turn the scores into interesting and "usefull" stuff.

I'm an server admin what Server application will I need?
Currently the system only support Gandanur. Not the most popular app today, but it was a choice made way back.
Download Gandanur 13.3.0 for Halo here: http://www.gandanur.com/p/downloads.html

So how fast is this tracking mechanism?
Currently scores are processed within 15~30 seconds of an event happening.

I'm use a shared key/pirated the game or "HaloCE portable" (v1.00/v1.06) user, will my score be tracked?
Your score will be tracked but since this system is based on hash it will be quite hard to keep tracking your progress over time.
If you want to be tracked perfectly within in the system you'll need a legit install of Halo and a legit key. Measurements have been installed to filter out pirates hashes over time, however it can never be 100% perfect. This does not mean you can not play as a pirate, it just means I can't guarantee to accurately update your score over time.

As for the rest, just explore and find out.

I'm looking forward to all your feedback and critique.

That's correct, due to a forum being added which you automatically get access to on sign up.
I had to delete all previous accounts, but I promise this was the last time.

Also you can now sign up with specials chars and caps in your name.



I'll be sure to post again tomorrow ;)

i see on the web site says...

Inorder to sign-up we need you to play for a few minutes on a HaloRank server first.
See the "Games" tab for possible servers.

I think thats aittle odd how is this working exactly ip loging or what?

what if i let a frend play a game on my pc under a diffrent profile? dose that count on my rank?

btw the sine up button is not clickable. can you give more instuction?

Yes by matching your visitors IP on the website with that of the IP you used to play in a game, the system is able to determine if you are eligible for sign up.
After you signed up the system will link the hash it detected to your account thus no longer looking at the IP you are using but solely at your hash.
This avoids the problem of people having dynamic IPs.
Downside of this method is that the system does not support pirated keys, excluding quite a few people.



In this situation the stats would go to your account as the stats are tracked by your halo hash which is derived from the product key you installed with on your PC.

Profile names have no affect, so you can play under any name you like in game and it will still be counted towards your stats.



if you could send me the page url this is happening on with a printscreen that would help.
I'll look in to making the instructions more clear, you are not the first person asking for more instructions. :)

Don't mind me. Just subscribing for future updates.

Is SAPP for HaloRank being developed?

^this. Always looking for ways to get more people to play on my server. This seems like a really cool feature :)
