Leading zeros, and trailing zeros don't change the value of the number. Leading zeros are zeros that are on the leftmost of a number before the decimal place -> 00 1.1 is the same number as 1.1 Tailing zeros are zeros that are on the rightmost of a number after the decimal place -> 1.1 00 is the sam...

How are tapes with identical scores, etc sorted? Why is 6.8s is coming before 6.13s? Looking at the list some more it seems that it's sorted by decimal representation of the time N.N (no trailing zeros) via version sort instead of like it should being sorted by the unconverted binary values of the ...

For 'Niko Böhm's Tutorial · Level 001 · Emeralds & diamonds' 'anonymous' playback ranked #1 actually has more spaces traveled on playback, and playback shows more tape time than the next 11(+?) rank scores, despite having a better time listed in R'n'D score server. There is an extra space moved ...

Don't know if it'll help find the tape issue problem, but here's a tape in team mode that's messed up.
Seems to mess up around 1:24

Save this as something like (adjust for your setup)
~/.rocksndiamonds/tapes/emc_per_one_mine_1/038.tape
Play with
EMERALD MINE CLUB > PER ONE MINE 1 > 038

So for a levelset like this 001.level 001.20250803.level 001.alternative ending.level 001.bad.level 001.Tues.level 002.level, mode 'Only use numerically-named levels' would jump between 001.level and 002.level 'Only use numerically-named levels' I get what you're saying, but imagine you're a user a...

And if you still wanted to have a numeric sort, you would only need to make sure that each level had a unique number at the start of its name, eg 001 falling rocks.level 002 beaucoup de diamonds.level 003 chasing fireflies.level 004.enter the butterfly level 005,amoeba!!!.level Note that as long as...

DATE OF RECORDING info displayed isn't updated when new level is chosen from HALL OF FAME. In the MAIN MENU there's a box that has "DATE OF RECORDING", and a time for that tape. It's updated with <- or -> around the level number, and when the level is selected from the click number select ...

Looking at the 'HELP' for the one in the subfolder I see "ESE VERSION 1.2 UPDATED AUGUST 2006." and "FOR ROCKS & DIAMONDS VERSION 3.2.0", for the one outside I see "ESE VERSION 1.1" and "FOR ROCKS & DIAMONDS VERSION 3.0.8". I'll call these 1.2 version...

I think this would still allow levelsets of numerically named levels to work as normal, as the numeric ordering is also alphabetical, in a sense. There's more than one way to sort... uppercase first the lowercase then numbers... ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZabcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz0123456789 Numbers...

Are you perhaps asking about adding this feature?

The "level set identifier" is simply the name of the level set sub-directory. Unless one of the two level sets is unknown on the high score server! This can probably (hopefully) be fixed on the high score server directly, so that you should get the correct score entries in the "hall ...

Here's some diff files, replaced home directory in output with ~ diff -q ~/.rocksndiamonds/levels/Earth_Shaker_Collection/Earth\ Shaker\ Explosions/ ~/.rocksndiamonds/levels/Earth_Shaker_Explosions Earth_Shaker_Explosions_diff.txt diff -q ~/.rocksndiamonds/levels/Earth_Shaker_Collection/Earth_Shaker...

To be able to better test this special case, could you please zip both folders "Earth_Shaker_Collection" (including folder "Earth Shaker Explosions") and "Earth_Shaker_Explosions" and attach them to your reply? Then I should be able to perfectly reproduce the problem h...

Back when I installed levels (a long time ago, forgot if anything special was done) I ended up with identical(as far as I can quickly tell) levelsets accessible from the choose levelset menu. With one of the identical levelsets pairs there's a levelset that new scores seam to appear to be showing on...

So, any hints on specific steps on a specific level (probably with specific points during playing where to save or load snapshots) that have a high probability to produce a broken tape situation (therefore being able to reproduce this bug with a relatively high probability) would be highly apprecia...
