Program that sorts your levelrank from best to worst

[Guest15937]

This is a product of some boredom + about 2 hrs of spare time

This takes your levelrank line-by-line, gives each score a rating (called the "AAA-equivalent", or the difficulty of song the score is equivalent to an AAA of), then sorts them from best to worst and spits out a file containing the results.

The formula it uses is actually really simple:

([Raw score]/[Raw score for an AAA of the song])^10 * [Song's difficulty]

How to run this:

1. Download the Java file from here and put it in a folder: The Java File
2. Download the list of songs and the number of notes in each one that I have compiled for this program's use, and put it in the same folder: The Master List of FFR Songs and their # of Notes
3. Copy-paste your levelranks into a text file, save it in the same folder as "Levelrank.txt" (note: if you ctrl-a your levelranks, you MUST delete all the extra stuff or it won't work)
4. Run the program. It will generate a file in the same folder called "AnalyzedLevelranks.txt". This will contain your AAA-eq's.

This is a sample of the output (only showing the top 20, because no one wants to see a wall of numbers):

Starlight (57) 57.0 [709-0-0-0-0]
Fei Longer (57) 56.3851192037817 [737-1-0-0-3]

Note that the program skips over unplayed files (they won't show up in the results file.)

Also, only public songs are included (obviously, because that's all that is in the levelranks.)

Update: Here is a link to Oni-Paranoia's Python version of this program. It uses a different formula that seems to rate higher-difficulty FC's more strongly than my program, but requires neither the JDK nor the master list file. To run his, just download it, copy your levelranks into a file called "rank.txt" and save it to the desktop, then run the executable. (Note: the file is much larger than mine, in the 3 mb range. Also, his only displays your top 10 scores, rather than your entire levelranks, and does not display the PA or difficulty of the songs.)

I expected a worse result from that metric, but it actually gives reasonable results.

You placed quite a burden on the user to run the program though, uploading separate small text files on Mega, having to use Java, parsing the levelrank page for the program...

analyzeSong(Double.parseDouble(thing.get(1)),thing.get(2),Double.parseDouble(thing.get(4)),Double.parseDouble(thing.get(5)),Double.parseDouble(thing.get(6)),Double.parseDouble(thing.get(7)),Double.parseDouble(thing.get(8)));

And god, this statement.

Constructive criticism will help him learn d:

Neat overall, though I think some way to see the "compared" scores would be quite useful. For example that 73 compared to the 75, what were the PA scores on the songs? Is my 50 comparable to your 50? I think it'd be neat to see what kinds of scores are actually comparable on different songs.

[gabrieljd]

Would be nice having something that can be run by someone who isn't a computer science graduate.

[Guest15937]

Update: The difficulty and PA of the song is included.

Link to new version: here (will also be updated in the OP)

New output sample:

Starlight (57) 57.0 [709-0-0-0-0]
Fei Longer (57) 56.3851192037817 [737-1-0-0-3]
Survive (60) 55.93710204585523 [1767-19-3-0-3]
World Tour 2004 (74) 55.75158787688937 [3759-156-15-10-65]
Camel (65) 52.50507406528722 [1037-25-3-5-14]

And I know it's a bit cumbersome to run...but it's really not that big a deal, it's just a matter of a couple of files. I guess I could put the two files together in a rar...

[YoshL]

you're assuming that people have the jdk downloaded; if they don't, they won't be able to run the program.

also, the formula feels quite arbitrary, and probably would result in a bunch of "ratings" that wouldn't make sense given the expanse of levelranks that everyone has

Well there's never going to be one catch-all, end-all formula for rating one score over another that will satisfy everyone. People may always disagree on whether a 2g on a 60 is better or worse than a 12-0-1-2 on a 64. I can agree that the 10th power was picked rather arbitrarily, but it produced results that match, or nearly match, which scores I think are my best ones.

As for the JDK thing...crap. I never even thought of that.

Main reason I pretty much halted java development.

Also, %.2f PLEASE.

I thought about implementing something like this into my levelrank analysis program, but never got around to it. I also wanted to make it give a rough division placement calculator, but figured that would cause a bit of controversy. I don't know how I feel about the equation you chose, though.

[YoshL]

i do like the concept of the formula though.

by taking the % of the max raw score and multiplying some factor of it by the difficulty is a nice idea, just would probably need some fine tuning, and maybe/probably incorporation of other aspects of the song, like perhaps max NPS, average NPS, etc.

[rushyrulz]

I tried doing an average NPS calc by pulling note data from each file, but the program ran longer than my connection to my school's UNIX server would last. I might have been going about it wrong, though. All you would really need is like a text file containing NPS data tho to do calculations based on it.

You hardly need to know anything about computer science to make this work. The inherent issue with this program is precisely what YoshL mentioned: you need the Java Development Kit (JDK) installed on your computer for the program to execute.

Once you have that, download the files accordingly and follow instructions. If it doesn't execute anything (no errors, nothing), you likely need to create an association between the .java file and javac.exe found in the JDK (that's the simple way; you could just execute through command prompt). At least, that's what I think you need to do...

...it's been quite a while.

[YoshL]

even if you execute through command prompt, you still need to set up the proper path so that you can actually use the javac command

Cooooould you 2 maybe collab on this with the same concept? I could run rushys without concern I remember but i know this laptop doesnt have JDK and Im the lazy... so this is a terrible inconvenience for me that I really wanna do.

Edit: Or 20K to the first person to run it on my levelranks and PM me the results dohohoho

I followed the directions and used javac to run LevelrankAnalyzer, and it opened a file called 'AnalyzedLevelranks.class'. I've tried to open it with notepad, but it shows up as a bunch of unrecognizable symbols and characters. I have also tried to open the .class file with jd-gui because this website told me that the program can read .class files.

However, when I used that program to open AnalyzedLevelranks.class, it only showed me the original java code instead of the results. Does anyone know what I'm doing incorrectly?

[Guest15937]

Did the program produce a file called "AnalyzedLevelranks.txt"? That's where your results would be.

[rushyrulz]

lol if I got the source code for this, I could convert it to executable.

[YoshL]

the .java file, just open with notepad++ or something lol

[Guest15937]

Yeah the source code is just the .java file. :P

[YoshL]

how do you convert to executable for java files anyways?
