July 6, 2023 (Season 13)

• Changed diminishing returns to only affect non-endless missions. Endless missions are still counted towards the 6 most recent missions. That is, the multiplier for playing a mission multiple times in a row is now 0.5/0.25/0.125/0.0625/0.03125/0.015625 for campaign missions and bonus missions (the same as before), and 1/1/1/1/1/1 for endless missions.

July 1, 2023 (Season 13)

• Servers now check for updates to the addon list and scoring parameters on every level load. A server.dll update is no longer required to change the HoIAF mission or challenge lists.
• Created an official workshop collection replacing the previous collection used for marking addons for download on dedicated servers (2816464806).
• The scoring algorithm has been updated to account for endless missions.
  1. If the mission score is less than Min Score, the mission is considered to have been failed.
  2. If the mission score is at least Min Score and the mission allows leaderboard scores to be uploaded for failures, the mission is considered to have succeeded.
  3. The existing score calculation logic is run with the Base Multiplier defined for the mission.
  4. Before diminishing returns for repeating the same mission is checked:
  5. If the mission score is higher than Max Score, it is reduced to Max Score.
  6. The mission score is multiplied by Score Multiplier.
  7. The mission score is raised to the Exponent'th power.
  8. The mission score is multiplied by the difficulty base score for the current ruleset raised to the Difficulty Contribution'th power.
  9. The mission score is multiplied by the challenge multiplier raised to the Challenge Contribution'th power.
  10. If the mission has a multiplier for the ruleset, the mission score is multiplied by that value.
  11. The mission score is added to the points earned for the mission before diminishing returns for repeating a mission are calculated.
• Added a new system where dynamic multipliers can be assigned to challenges that change their difficulty based on factors other than mission settings.
• Initial endless mission ratings defined:

  Mission	Base Multiplier	Score Multiplier	Min Score	Max Score	Exponent	Difficulty Contribution	Challenge Contribution	ASBI Multiplier	Changes
  Infinite Landing Bay	0.001	1.4	1	25	1.35	1.0	1.0	1.0	New

April 20, 2022 (Season 1)

• Seasons last 3 months (March-April-May, June-July-August, September-October-November, December-January-February).
• First season begins April 20, 2022.
• Initial scoring algorithm is as follows:
  1. sv_cheats disallowed as is standard.
  2. Failing a mission records stats but does not update score.
  3. Remaining steps in algorithm do not run for failed mission attempts.
  4. Look up current challenge multiplier and ruleset. (Unrated challenges have a multiplier of 0.)
  5. Set score to base score for ruleset and difficulty setting.
  6. If the difficulty is at least Hard, at least 2 marines survived, and hardcore friendly fire is enabled, add Alive Bonus points for each surviving marine in the squad.
  7. If Onslaught is disabled, subtract 2 points.
  8. If the current score is at least 2, multiply by the mission multiplier. (Unrated missions have a multiplier of 0.01.)
  9. Multiply by the challenge multiplier.
  10. If the previous mission completion was during the current season and within the past 7200 seconds (two hours):
      1. Search circular buffer of past 6 completed missions for current mission.
      2. If the current mission appears, multiply score by 0.25.
  11. If the circular buffer was not checked in the previous step, clear the circular buffer.
  12. Add the current mission to the circular buffer.
  13. If the current score is less than 1, the current score is set to 1.
  14. Add the current score to the player's total for this season.
