Reallign internal and external match IDs. #96

Open chaos-lord opened 5 years ago

Felk commented 4 years ago

what even are "external" match ids?

red031000 commented 4 years ago

the ones on the tpp.chat's leaderboard website

Felk commented 4 years ago

why do they need to be aligned though?

red031000 commented 4 years ago

because internal IDs don't match with them, and it's often a lot quicker to just look up the match on the website than root through the db or api

red031000 commented 4 years ago

and as such we can't use the IDs for anything that accepts IDs

Felk commented 4 years ago

I don't quite understand. we expose the ID the matches have on our end. can't keredau just display those? why are they different in the first place?

This should be fixed in the new tppl design when i finally manage to finish the frontend code... I'll then need to backport all the matches that exist before TPP tracked matches.
