1. My CFM profile seems to have just updated (it was different when I first looked at it a few minutes ago). Comparing it to my in-game profile, I found that several stats are wrong - more precisely, the numbers of saved mice and bootcamp completions are too high. CFM shows 12 more saves (normal/divine, haven't used hard mode in a while) and 35 more bootcamps than I actually have. Other profiles that I checked show the same errors (for example, someone with 15.000-something bootcamps shows as over 18.000).

Hey! Glad to know you've been using CFM. I am the backend developer of the systems and I'll gladly answer all your questions.
Firstly, to show players' statistics, we don't use transformice profiles, it'd be a heavy task making it take ages for a bot to collect data. Instead, Tigrounette and Melibellule gives us access to a read-only with limited access database. We track our data from here. It is not our fault if your cfm profile doesn't show correct data, it is the way it is stored in this database. Regarding bootcamps, strangely, you need to complete the map twice to count it in your profile, but once in your cfm account.

2. The "Games won" in the Racing category on CFM is actually the number of podiums on the in-game profile.

What an eye! I am gonna check if it is in our updater system and if it is not, it is a frontend problem.
Edit: In fact, I gave it a fast look and it is a frontend bug

3. Another odd thing I've noticed is the way bot accounts are handled. They (correctly) are not shown on the leaderboard as far as I can see, but still seem to be taken into account when calculating the leaderboard positions displayed on each player's profile. For example, the player Popzim currently ranks highest on the leaderboard for shaman saves, but the "Mice saved" category on their profile shows them as rank 2. Number 1 is (unsurprisingly) Holzinator, the former racing bot.

Yeah we're still developing a hack detection algorithm, so we receive the warn and manually disqualify them from the leaderboards. It will probably detect bots too.

4. Some players' maps don't show up on their profiles. I was looking for an old bootcamp map (@155628) by Scottish, but his profile has no maps at all, even though the above-mentioned map exists in CFM's database and shows him as creator.

This seems to be mostly a database bug. Transformice stores and gives maps by username, while we must store them by id so if the user changes their name, it will not affect the map, since an id is unique. The problem here is that transformice doesn't update the author of some maps when they change their name and this is in fact, a problem, since we don't have any "old name tracker" so we can't know if this old map is from a specified player. Then, we store the map in another table, which accepts a username instead of an id, flagging it as corrupt. Filtering by player only filters by id, not by name, but accessing the map by the raw link is in fact possible.
Anyway, there is a way to make a map hidden, by verifying your forum account with your transformice one and accessing your profile you can select which map you want to be filtered by author and which map you don't want to. We won't delete the map from our database nor make it unreachable by anyone, but it won't be listed in your profile making it harder to be found.

Any news on when the map database is going to be available?

That's the feature I'm most looking forward to. While maps are already being shown on player profiles (uh, mostly - see above...), it would be very nice to have an overview of the perm maps, which appears to not be functional as of yet.

Anyway, what's currently available on CFM is already much appreciated.

Hey! As I've announced in the discord server, even if our frontend is not really working as it should (you know, I am a backend dev so it is pretty hard for me to do frontend and that's why it is taking so long), you can use our public API. Currently it has a few bugs but once I fix these frontend bugs, I will take a look at our API. It is open source and it is hosted in our website. You can take a look at it by accessing this link. I guess it has a few more stuff than the ones we show in our website, and a bit more complex filters, like getting a tribe's data by a member on a single request and so on. However, we do not support rankings yet in it.

Edit: The games won text has been replaced to "Podium". The filtering by perm tool is now fixed.

Thanks for taking the time to reply and explain everything. And I just saw that the perm map overview is working now. Yay!

I actually played around with your API a bit after I first read your post earlier today and managed to come up with some crude map display, but yours is (of course) MUCH better. Great job!

I had kinda suspected that the deviating bootcamp numbers might have something to do with the first completion after entering the room not counting, thanks for confirming this. (Now I'm surprised that TFM even keeps track of all completions instead of discarding the ones that are not supposed to count...)

Remember to check your Transformice stats @ Cheese-For-Mice !

hello, update TOTAL EXP in cheese formice pls :(

is there any alternatives now that this has closed?

It doesn't look closed to me.

Ah ok, I only checked the forum...

Tuco stopped updating CFM bots and the CFM website, Fawxy gave ownership to Collum, and Collum is neglecting CFM, therefore CFM is dead and shut down....

Hi all,

With the site being shut down again and development halted, I have removed the link to the website and closed this thread
