Added private leagues.
Download at projectcalc.org/download.php

First, you must go to projectcalc.org/settings.php. Enter gamertag, set platform, controller, then you can either create or join a league.
Only laps done after this will register in the league.
On leaderboard page, click "Filters" and select league name, then Show leaderboard to show only that leagues lap times (for selected car - track of course).
Not fully tested, so please try it, and leave feedback!

The idea of cross-platform leagues is very exciting. How will this work for the Steam users? Will they just register for the league with their Steam name on this page and let the Steam leaderboards do the work or is this only for the console users who use the UDP tool?

[Maskmagog]

Good question, haven't given Steam users that much thought tbh. They could wait for the site to download Steam leaderboards, but that wouldn't be much fun I think. That might take up to a week. (It is possible to force updates to any leaderboard though, by adding &update=y to the url.)

I could change the database indexes. Then Steam users could run the PCalcUpdater tool too, and get their times in the database in realtime, like console users. The indexes would keep it from accepting double entries. The downside is that if people change username, the same lap might appear several times in the db. There might be a way to clean out those though, not sure.

I'm obviously all for cross-platform stuff, so I'll probably make some changes to the database indexes. Then Steam users can join the fun too, in the same way console master race enjoy it

Ok, I've edited the database indexes. Steam players can also download PCalcUpdater (from here) and use it just like console users. Their laptimes will instantly be inserted into the database, and they can use the Race Mode screen too, to follow their way up the leaderboard.

Just like console players, first go to projectcalc.org/settings.php and enter your Steam username, and set your preferences (platform, controller etc).

So, cross-platform leagues is on! As usual, I'd love to hear some feedback, good or bad.

Just realized that I made an error when adding a simple check in the php scripts, which made the server not accept any laps. I forgot a $ sign at one place. Sorry if you have tried it over the weekend! Fixing the error now.

[Maskmagog]

Problem fixed, apologies if you have tried it this weekend and it didn't work.
psFiNCH, I see in the database that a few of your friends (I guess, since you have chosen the same combo) have tried it lately. Please let them know that it should work properly now.
Again sorry.

Just wanted to say great work with this. I'm going to start to use this when I'm on next. I've been having private monthly TT's with guys in work who are all on PC and it's been a pain not to see my times alongside theirs. This is perfect, well done
