    Global Scoring Calculations - Help Wanted from Top Riders

    Sure, riding a bike through futuristic dystopian hellscapes is fun and all, but nothing compares to the sheer exhilarating joy of plugging numbers into Excel Spreadsheets. Now you may think making a Global Scoring sheet is a waste of time, but who are you going to turn to when the LBs go down and you don't know what's up with your score? No, not Batman for ****'s sake.

    Anyway, I'm almost done collecting all the data on medal time requirements (OH the tedium). I did stuff up and accidentally platted Ski or Ride so I missed the platinum requirement for that track. Does anyone know what it is?

    Next I need to calculate the Ultimate Times for each track (using GrantR's original calculations, thanks be unto him for working it all out). I'll be okay getting the data on everything up to the extremes but it might take me a while to plat those bastards so this is where you come in Mr Gun Rider. Here's what we need:

    Some global score data on a platinum run on the extreme tracks.

    • Your Time and Fault Count Before
    • Your Time after the run
    • Your Global Score Before
    • Your Global Score After

    That's it, only need one example from each extreme track. It doesn't matter if you've already platted it, data from an improved plat run is fine too.

    Like I said, I can probably get this data myself but this will save some time and any help you can give will be appreciated immensely.

    I'm going to bump this since it sunk like a stone from page 1 in the the ****storm the other day. I've now got everything figured out up to the extremes so if anyone can help with the above I'd appreciate it immensely.

    I figured out Ski or Ride's platinum time by deduction but I missed the Silver medal time required on The Greater Crater if anyone hasn't played that track yet.

    Thanks guys

    @Fanantic: Thanks mate, but just need the silver I'm afraid.

    @psycad:
    According to my calculations, your calculations are correct. Who shared the divine plan with you? I thought this was tip top secret.

    @Chaeron: RE sharing with everyone, that's the plan man. Free to all. Ain't that something? It is actually. Extra points be unto quote recognisers.

    Righto, jokes aside (I'm a little drunk), I've got everything except the silver medal time on Greater Crater and plat times on Frost Bite and Inferno 4. Also need to figure out the Ultimate Times on the final four extremes (unknowns highlighted red).



    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    I dont want to sound like a noob but what is 'ultimate' it seems excessively quicker than platinum. Does this only get enabled when all tracks are platinum?
    Sorry for being off topic but its the only place ive seen 'ultimate'

    The ultimate time is the time Redlynx put to help with scoring the track. Each track has a maximum of 360,000. To get 360,000 you have to get the ultimate time to the millisecond. This very rarely happens, but it is just a guideline for how much score you get on each track.
