TWDT 24 Season schedule and (new) website

[Dwopple]

The regular season schedule has been posted on the TWDT Site. You may need to visit the site and refresh, or clear your browser's cache if it's still displaying the old TWDT site.

HUGE shoutout to Sprackle and Wirah for getting Sprackle's new TWDT site up and running. The new site adds historical TWDT season stats, improved match / players stats, and the ability to watch replays of match recordings (if they exist)!

Thanks to everyone pouring time and effort into getting the bots, website, and team graphics looking amazing. We're getting close!

Thank you Wirah, Sprackle and BIET. New graphics and site both look great!

Wow amazing work! Thanks for all the time our volunteers put into this. Not enough credit given. Special shout out to wirah for not only putting in time/knowledge to this but on top of if putting money into the game.

Piggy back to this, it makes me wonder if twd.org site can be revamped in a similar style rather than looking like a website from 1998?

Can we filter the schedule by team plz? used that all the time on the old site.

[Turban]

Also sorting options by rating on a per league basis could be a decent additional feature.

[Rab]

The TWDT site now has a new tool to help you maximize the star cap.
Insights will provide you with the "top" 3 options, with varying star slots, of every team's lineup for any division: https://twdt.trenchwars.com/insights!

It will first find your optimal lineup based on players' ratings and then group up players with equal stars at the respective star slot.

Sample of possible Malevolent's TWDT-D roster:

Thanks, pretty neat

Nice idea, needs refinement.
e.g. Terrorist wb it suggests 42/37/37 when there are clearly better options than the 37s. (It thinks fielding Cyclone is our 2nd best line lul)

Might be good to be able to exclude players,
e.g. if Tripin didn't show there'd be no viable line suggested, so we would have to tell it to exclude him.

Very cool idea, but seems to be broken, suggests same people multiple times for lineups. For example each Phoenix lineup has 2 Saiyans and 2 Dwopples.

I thought that too, but it's just the way the UI is. It's really saying "this is an 8* slot and these are the players you could put in it". Imagine it tried to only select one of those 8* players - it wouldn't have the data to do it (yet?) and people would feel bad about not being the player selected.

[Sprackle]

That's right, as Rab mentioned, it just shows you the possible player options by star slot. The reason I did this was so that we could see a few more lineup varieties (various star slots) that weren't just having the same star slots and simply swapping players of the same star slot. This means that per generated lineup, you can possibly have a few actual lineup options by swapping players.

Note: updated the arithmetic a bit, it was subtracting too much when it couldn't find a possible 42* lineup. It'll now show correctly (i.e., the above screenshot with Malevolent's lineup will show a 41.5* lineup instead of 37* now).
