damageinc86 Posted April 13, 2020 Share Posted April 13, 2020 Is there a timeframe before your scores show up? I signed into LB database, have hiscore enabled, no cheats, everything ticked, and it doesn't seem to be updating my scores. Does it have to surpass your score that you previously had before enabling all this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If all else fails, turn on Debug logging and take a look at the log file (or share it here). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
damageinc86 Posted April 13, 2020 Share Posted April 13, 2020 Ms. Pacman. Well I haven't been able to beat my hi score since i have been signed in. That's why I was wondering if any score is taken, or if it has to be one that is beating your previous one. Its higher than some people on there, but its not higher than the one I did before I was signed in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CDBlue Posted April 13, 2020 Share Posted April 13, 2020 Thought it would be worth mentioning this again, as not doing this would prevent hiscores from submitting properly. For the hiscores to be submitted properly you need to do the following two steps: 1) be logged into a Launchbox Games Database/cloud account (via Cloud/Connect to Launchbox Games Database via the main menu 2) have submit hiscores enabled in the Mame option setting in LB. I'm sure you already followed the instructions to get it to work properly, but just in case I thought it would be worth repeating, if not for you, then for others who are trying out the beta's at a later stage in the process Hopefully, it's just something you missed there, and not an issue with the code.

Yeah the score wont be submitted if it doesnt beat your own previous score, even if it's good enough to get onto the leaderboard. Your highest score is the only one submitted, so as you got that score before high scores were implemented you need to beat that score to get on the leaderboard now.

If you want, you can remove the high score file from MAME in order to reset it for that game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LaunchRoo Posted April 13, 2020 Share Posted April 13, 2020 High Scores are my favourite new feature! Thanks for adding it. Time to go beat some of my old high scores. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
damageinc86 Posted April 13, 2020 Share Posted April 13, 2020 (edited) Ok I decided to pick a game that had no hi score yet (omega race), and i've never even played it before. Got a score and restarted launchbox just in case. They don't show. How often does launchbox pull from the files? I can see my omegrace.hi file was updated a few minutes ago. Wait,...do i have to sync my collection? Edited April 13, 2020 by damageinc86 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's possible that there may be a broken game or two. If it didn't upload, it probably won't. That said, you can turn on debug logging to figure out exactly what is happening.

All the other games i have tried work fine, so its specifically that game in this case. I placed third on the in game leaderboard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

damageinc86 Posted April 13, 2020 Share Posted April 13, 2020 (edited) got the log: 2020-04-13 12:16:54 PM Aborting MameHighScores.Parse: Required hiscore.dat file not found in plugins\hiscore subfolder of MAME emulator directory. It isn't looking in the right spot. my .dat is in \dats not \plugins\hiscore. it's mameuifx from way back, and the hiscore saves work just fine for the emulator itself. Could i just make a copy of it and put it where launchbox wants to look for it? Edited April 13, 2020 by damageinc86 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure if it's related to that, or is just that the paths settings were changed away from the defaults. It's worth a shot to copy the file.
