other than ADDING scrimbot as a friend and messaging him MMR ?
Yes. Along time ago Ashfire decided to limit the number of MMR checks a user could do per hour using scrimbot (because people were checking MMR after every round), I set about to find a way to get MMR without having to be forced to comply with his restrictions as I wanted to track exactly how much MMR was won or lost in real time. His system also incorporates a significant delay that I was unhappy with, meaning that if you check the MMR with scrimbot right after the match ends, it doesn't return the correct updated result due to some sort of caching in the way his system works. My system doesn't suffer from that delay issue, it shows whatever the current player stats are.
i mean an ap that does that would be handy
you should make that app windows based... also posting it would be great...
Well, I don't really know how handy it actually is, you can get the same info from various means, I just wanted to be able to get it more than the restrictive number of times when I played. Just one of those things I wanted and I doubt many other people cared about. Shrug.
Its already completed, working and has been for years. I never even bother to use it anymore honestly. Its just unsatisfactory watching your MMR climb by .1 after MVPing a match. Just another one of my many programming projects that clutters up this HD.
Its a 2 part system, a client/server and a remote display app. At first it started out by being a tiny windoze application that sits alongside Hawken, running in the background, and displays whatever fields I wanted to see mostly current MMR, and the MMR delta over X amount of matches that its logged. Just so I could monitor my own progress and watch it change after every round. Later on I decided to use the base application to funnel the same info that was displayed to an old android phone I had laying around after I upgraded my phone contract, that way I no longer had to alt-tab out, due to not being able to use a 2nd or 3rd monitor.
I doubt I will make it available to anyone as really there is no purpose for it other than novelty. It was mostly just an experiment and a programming project that kept my mind busy to see if I could actually do it.
I mean it would def help to be able to check a name and see just how quick their MMR has raised, this can be a tell tale of smurfing i guess.
+10 for putting the effort into that btw
Just a correction here so you know, its purpose is NOT to be able to look up and track other peoples MMR as I feel that is an invasion of privacy, it is designed to only display and track your own account that you are currently playing Hawken on. The thing I stumbled onto while working on it was how to GET other peoples MMR, that part is NOT part of my application. I can do it with a few changes to my original program, but I would never publish a program that could do it.
Thats another reason why I feel it won't ever get released to the general public, because of the lack of respect returned by some of the fellow members of this forum. I don't feel they would genuinely appreciate it, or the hours I wasted working on it. If I were to ever release it, they'd have a nice little easter egg surprise, if you will, if they ever downloaded and opened up one of my apps. lol.
