LR2 Rival Ranking

Pre-built Executable

Latest released executable version: v2.1.
The download link is >> HERE <<.

It's built and tested on Windows 7 SP1 64bits with Python 2.7.

Overview

LR2 Rival Ranking(LR2RR) is a plug-in of Lunatic Rave 2(LR2).

When LR2RR is running, the ranking in LR2 will be replaced.
The new ranking will only show the score of your rivals and yourself.
It's easier to compare the scores with your rivals.

The LR2IR website is also modified.
You are able to view the scores of recent plays or difficulties.

Installation

The following tools or packages are needed to compile the python script:

Python 2.7
PyQt4
lxml
pywin32
py2exe

After installing all of above, just simply run:

python LR2RivalRanking.py

Or if you want to build a portable executable, please run:

python Setup.py

A single executable file LR2RivalRanking.exe will be located in the generated dist\ folder.

The program is only tested on Windows 7 and 8.
I'm not sure whether other platforms are well-supported or not.

Usage

run LR2RivalRanking.py or LR2RivalRanking.exe with administrator privilege before LR2.

If LR2 has been started before LR2RR, please close LR2 first.
(LR2RR needs to take the login procedure of LR2 to get the rival list of current player.)

In the app, there are some supplemental functions:

Ctrl+1: modify Ir/ folder of LR2
Ctrl+2: Update difficulties tables
Ctrl+3: Shortcut for opening LR2IR

For the first time to use, please update difficulties tables.
If the LR2IR modification function doesn't work properly, please refresh your web page.
If it's still not work, please check the browser DNS settings.

The rival data is saved in %APPDATA%\LR2RR.
You can delete this folder if you want to clean the previous saved data.

If the program is not closed correctly, it may cause connection error to LR2 server.
When the problem happens, just turn on LR2RR and close it again.
If it's still not solved, please check your hosts setting.
(%SystemRoot%\System32\drivers\etc\hosts)

The rivals can be registered on the LR2IR website:

not sure whether to implement:
- Remove not played record in ranking
