Leaderboard
A top 10 PvP leaderboard for each server on the player website, with your own podium colours and an optional timed top-players post in game chat.
01Free and Premium
- Free: the top 10 page on the player website.
- Premium: adds your own podium colours and the timed post in game chat.
02What it does
The Leaderboard ranks the top 10 players on your server by PvP kills. Players can check it on the Surge player website, and the bot can also post the top players in game chat on a timer.
It's on by default. The numbers come straight from the Killfeed's PvP tracking, so the two systems go hand in hand.
03What players see
On the player side of the website, each server has a Leaderboard card. Opening it shows a podium for the top three (2nd, 1st, 3rd, like a real podium) with kills, deaths and K/D for each, then a list for ranks 4 to 10.
- Empty spots show as Awaiting contender until enough people have kills.
- The page refreshes on its own every few seconds, so players can watch it change during a fight.
- If you switch the Leaderboard off, players see Leaderboard off with a note that the admin has turned it off.
04How ranking works
- Players are ordered by PvP kills, most first.
- Ties are broken by higher K/D, then fewer deaths, then name.
- You need at least one PvP kill to appear.
- Fall deaths, scientists, animals and vehicles never get a spot. Surge cleans out anything like that automatically.
Kills are only recorded while Killfeed is switched on. If Killfeed is off, the Leaderboard stays frozen at whatever it had.
05Podium and list colours
Under Podium & list colors you can match the player page to your server branding. Each one has a colour picker and a hex box.
- 1st (Gold): default
#FFD700 - 2nd (Silver): default
#C0C0C0 - 3rd (Bronze): default
#CD7F32 - Accent (4 to 10): default
#00F0FF - Titles / text: default
#FFE600
Press Save colors when you're done. Colours need to be full six-digit hex codes like #FF4D6D. Anything else is ignored and the old colour stays.
06The auto message
The Leaderboard Auto message posts your top players in game chat on a timer. The default shows the top 4 with their kills, deaths and K/D, each line in its own colour.
The placeholders work in order. The first {playername} is rank 1, the second is rank 2, and so on up to rank 4. Same idea for {totalkills}, {totaldeaths} and {kd}. If a rank is still empty it shows a dash and zeros.
- Message interval: a whole number, 1 or more.
- Unit: Hours or Days. Default is every 1 hour.
Press Save auto message to keep your changes. The first post lands one full interval after you save, so players never get a burst of leaderboard spam out of nowhere.
Only the top 4 can be placed in the auto message. Adding a fifth {playername} just repeats rank 4.
07Good to know
- The admin panel has a Live top 10 preview at the bottom so you can check the standings without leaving the dashboard.
- Switching the Leaderboard off hides the player page and stops the auto message. Your stats aren't deleted.
- Stats are per server. A kill on your main server does nothing to your 2x server's board.
- If you clear the auto message box and save, it goes back to the default message.
