well i needed to make a ranking system for my stuff and the Kespa rank was a good one,heres a example.

01. (Z)Jaedong 2,806.0 -
02. (T)Flash 2,329.8 ▲2
03. (Z)Calm 2,049.8 -
04. (Z)EffOrt 1,794.8 ▽2
05. (Z)ZerO 1,679.3 ▲2
06. (Z)Kwanro 1,672.5 ▲2
07. (P)Stork 1,450.5 ▲3
08. (P)Bisu 1,415.3 ▽3
09. (T)fantasy 1,356.8 ▽3
10. (T)Hwasin 1,304.3 ▲2


I was wondering how to type the "arrows" I dont have a single clue to those special symbols.

Regarding the ranking,it seems like Microsoft excel cant create the ranking system i wanted,is there a program to create a ranking system similar to the one kespa is using? help appreciated thanks.

You don't necessarily need to type it out, but simply know how to make use of the Character Map. Start -> Programs -> Accessories -> Character Map.

Make sure the fonts are the same (ie Times New Roman) and scroll down until you see the arrows or any desired symbol. You should be able to Select and Copy using the Character Map application to copy it to your clipboard. Simply go about pasting. The symbols that are able to appear by typing will show up on the bottom right of their character map with their keystroke syntax.

Man I'm having a hard time understanding what you're asking? The arrows are ALT characters: http://www.tedmontgomery.com/tutorial/ALTchrc-a.html

By 'create ranking' you mean sorting the entries by points?

I believe you can easily do that in Excel.

I dont have Excel installed, instead I use OpenOffice Calc (sort of a free Excel), so here are the steps:

1. First fill your sheet with the data
2. Select all columns and rows you want to sort
3. Menu -> Data -> Sort
4. It will open an window allowing you to specify the sorting criteria, do it and press Ok
5. Your data is now sorted

Should be something similar to it in Excel.

Ah, I see.

Sorry, dont know how to do that. If I had some time now I would write you a program in Java, but rightnow I'm kinda busy with some issues in my University

So, I just used some spare time to write this for you :D

Its really, REALLY, REALLY lame build, but it works.

Instructions:

1. Download the rar in this link http://www.mediafire.com/?24ciup5b25zugpp

2. Inside this rar there are 2 files: current.txt and PowerRank.jar, extract them to the same folder

3. The file current.txt is empty, its up to you to fill it with the name and points of the players you want to make the ranking for. Fill it this way (player name<space>points):


Player1 2200
Player2 1850
Player3 2250
Player4 1600


Notice each new line of the file corresponds to a different player and the name and points are separated by 1 white space. Notice the file doesnt need to be sorted.

4. Double click PowerRank.jar to start the app.

5. Create a new file in the same folder with the new ranking (dont need to be sorted), just like above.

6. In the text field, enter the filename created in the step 5 and its extension (newrank.txt for example) and press the button to update.

7. The text area will show you the new and sorted ranking with the player name, points and who went up/down

8. Thats it

Also, notice that the file current.txt is always used as parameter to generate the new ranking, so this file must always be present.

When I get more free time I could improve this if you want me to. Any questions, send me a PM.

If you have created the file 'newrank.txt' with the new ratings of the players, type newrank.txt in the 'update to' box and press update.

Example to make it clearer:

In your 'current.txt' file you have the ranking for the month of november. We are in december, so the ranking is outdated and you want to update it (with the arrows up/down). To do that, you create a new file (lets say 'december.txt') in the same folder with the player/points list. After creating the file, type 'december.txt' in the update to box and press the update button. The rank will be shown in the text area below.
