User made tracks leaderboard | Forums

Would be cool if they made a leaderboard for custom made tracks, so everyone could see who played it, their replay, their time and so on

There are leaderboards for custom tracks.

RedLynx has confirmed the inclusion of Custom Track Leaderboards in Trials Evolution. But you should still join TrialsHD.net and compete on Trials HD customs.

I believe that while the custom tracks will have score-based leaderboards in Trials Evolution, they won't have a top 5000 replays viewable like in-game tracks.

Only the track creator's original replay will be viewable, and your own (since your replay is stored on your own console).

I can totally understand not having 5000 replays for each track.....but not even the #1 time?? I know my own time for a track I build wont end up being the best example.

I don't think a Showcase Replay should show the best time/route. It should show people what the track is about.

There's definitely been a heated debate on 1000 HeroZ about that exact thing.

Is it confirmed that the replays on customs, whether it's just the top replays or whatever, won't be viewable? I've wondered this myself. My spontaneous feeling is that it's bad, but on second thought it does make the game purer and rewards creativity more than before.

Found the official word on custom track leaderboards in the TrialsHD.NET developer interview:

1. Can you explain how the leaderboards and matchmaking will work across the various game types (will skill and race leaderboards be separate? How does matchmaking work? Do Custom Tracks have leaderboard replays)?

Each trials track has its own separate leaderboard. Tournaments, which are races where the user must ride through several tracks in one go, also have their own leaderboards. There is also a Global Ranking leaderboard that basically counts together all the user’s separate track results, including Tournaments, into one score. And then each Skill Game has its own ranking board, these however are not part of the overall Global Ranking, since each one is so unique and over-the-top.

The Global Ranking leaderboard also has a feature we call Medal Level: a strip of five medals that correspond to each of the five track difficulty levels: Beginner, Easy, Medium, Hard and Extreme. If a user has at least a Bronze from all Beginner and Easy tracks, and at least a Silver from all Mediums, that user’s Medal Level strip will read bronze-bronze-silver-empty-empty. This lets you check out another player’s Trials skills at a glance.

Multiplayer leaderboards will be divided by game type/playlist: Supercross, Trials and Hardcore Trials. Custom tracks each have their own leaderboard with leaderboard ghosts (the in-game markers with a gamertag and arrow), as well as one showcase replay recorded by the track’s creator.

Matchmaking has three playlists: Supercross, Trials and Hardcore Trials. Each playlist has ranked matches of max 4 players. Users can use a My Group function to join public matchmaking as a pair with one friend. The Supercross playlist has just Supercross tracks, the Trials playlist has easy-to-medium Trials tracks, and the Hardcore Trials playlist has hard-to-extreme Trials tracks. Players in a lobby can vote between two tracks offered from the playlist before each match. We are currently working on the match specifics: each match will probably feature more than one track and/or more than one heat (run) per track. With multiple races per match, players are awarded points and the winner determined by total points in the end.

So unless this has changed since the article was published in October, leaderboards on custom track: YES. "Leaderboard ghosts": YES (although we haven't seen exactly how that will look/work). Custom track leaderboard replays: NO (only the one from the original creator before upload).
