I (don't) see dead people...

The ironman contest ladder doesn't list dead players who had scores.  Is this intentional?
Are you not entertained?
Is this not what you came here for?

Ah, actually, now I do, but Bump, who played and died earlier, is not listed.  a level restriction, minimum score... no suicides listed?....

Dead player information on the online high score chart is obtained by parsing a copy of the scores.raw file from the game.  As you know this is by default limited to 100 players... so I guess bump didn't make the top 100.

Living player info is obtained by greping the save files.

Perhaps I should increase this limit of 100 dead player scores on the Ironman server ?

To be honest, when the high score chart was originally put together I thought I would have months before we hit the 100 limit. As it standards, there have been well over 600 deaths already.

This has been resolved, and the online high score chart now has no limit on the number of characters listed.

It does however ignore dead characters who scored less than 100.
