JK2 Stats Program - Need testers

Wintrmte · April 5, 2002

I have written a small Perl app that goes throught the JK2 server logs and computes statistics for users. It generates a nice HTML output (which is customizable through a template).

I need testers though. I have tested this on my server which is running FFA mode, but have not tested it against any other game mode. SO... If you want to help test, please visit the following link:

Thanks.

I've always been one of those "experimental" people. I've got the stats running on my CTF Saber Only server. Obviously, there isn't much weapon data to look at because only MOD_SABER, MOD_FALLING, and MOD_DARK_FORCE...few other miscellaneous things.

I'd like to know if the script can tell the difference between falling because you were clumsy (suicide really) and being PUSHED. From what I can tell, the console output is identical...except that the victim name is the same as the killer name when it's just "oops".

Also, does the script maintain a database of it's own? Or does it need the full log file? I ask because the script appears to leave the log file intact (which is fine with me) and that would make me believe that it does not maintain any database. Thus, if you reset your log file then you lose all prior data. The only problem with that being once your log starts to get a bit large and you want to archive (or just delete it), you lose all the prior data. Not a big deal, but I was just wondering.

Is there any way to determine how much time a player has spent playing? That would make for a good analysis of frag/hour vs deaths/hour, etc. I know that the JO logs items with a timestamp that represents how long the server has been up...perhaps not the most useful.

Anyway, if you'd like to get a hold of me to collaborate in any way. I can be reached via icq (74850239), aim (MatrixCPA), or msn messenger/mail (matrixcpa@msn.com).

*UPDATE*

Yep, I did some grep parsing and figured out that it counts falling to death (suicide) the same as if you pushed someone else. I believe I added just a quick bit to fix that. I'll test it out some more.

*UPDATE 2*

Ok, I fixed that issue...suicides by any weapon are not counted as anything (for now). I think I'll add a piece to count them as "suicides".

BTW if you fall without being pushed a player called <world> kills you by MOD_FALLING. Making my own server stats program as well

http://www.puregamer.com and looks for them not hard

Oddly, that's not true very often. The vast majority of the time, it's logged as playerx killed playerx by MOD_FALLING. Although, there are a few ways the <world> does end up killing you as well, and MOD_FALLING and MOD_CRUSH are the two I've seen so far. Out of about 1000 MOD_FALLING kills...the world has so far only been responsible for about 5.

It would probably be a good idea if we all got together for a "log mapping project". I'm sure it would benefit all of us.

Just looking for a simple perl script.

I'm slowly teaching myself Perl and all I want is a small list that perhaps has top 10 players and kills...

Though the book I have I dont think it shows me how to extract data from a file or safe it back into a file, cause I would also like to use my website to show the total kills on the index.html page

*shrug*

Any ideas or URL's and stuff or if you wana make me a small script I'd be more than happy to learn from it

You definitely need to lookup filehandles then. That allows you to open files for reading, writing, appending, etc. Then you should look up regular expressions (basically how to pattern match.) That will get you a long way for sure.

Can someone add hw many times you healed or energized a teammate to that list?

Hopefully make the stats similar to Globa Ops' stats.

Kinda like that with everyone having a stat profile.

*edit*

I threw your parser up this morning, quite impressive for a first-run at things. It seems to work as intended under CTF with no modifications.

A few things I noticed is that it does not properly handle events which contain similar strings.

MOD_DISRUPTOR_SNIPER and MOD_DISRUPTOR for example appear to intermingle.

I noticed it's trying to pull an "Administrator" variable from somewhere - personally I'd prefer it to be either overridden by the config, or set outright.

I already extended the "Padawan" filter slightly to allow for more invisible people, preferably that would be read from a list...

Great work, I look forward to the next revisions!

Unfortunately, the logging system (like RtCW's) is lacking. The only things that get logged are:

Player Connects/Disconnects

Playing Info Changes (name/skin/team)

Kills/Suicides (what weapon/how/by whom)

Item Pickups (what item/by whom)

Flag Pick ups/Drops/Scores (by whom/team--but they all get logged the same)

Say/Teamsay

Round End w/Scores

Rcon Commands (just the command, eg rcon exec)

Nothing is logged regarding the use of force powers, only kills that result from them. To figure out when a flag is picked up vs. recovered vs. captures takes some work. It's kinda lame that item pickups were more important to log than the differences in flag actions. RtCW is the same way. The pickup of a medpack/ammopack is logged, but not which player provided it. It'll probably take a mod to "fix" that.

I will add to this because I have been looking for a program to log my server and create webstats for it. So far I have not found one that that was easy enough to convert to read the statslog file.

Here is some info for you on what was in the file I was using.

My servers create 2 seperate log files.

I have a question for you on the stats, and why not use the statlog file instead.

At the moment I have these log settings in my config file for the server

seta g_log "games.log" //Logs connects and pickups

seta g_logSync "0"

seta g_statLog "1"

seta g_statLogFile "statlog.log" // Logs death and kill stats

This produces a very large log covering all the types of kills and death on the server

Weapon Deaths per Player:

Weapon Damage per Player:

Weapon Kills per Player:

Typed Damage per Player:

Damage-Typed Kills per Player:

------------------------------------------

It seems to log for each map that is played so a fresh setting is created on each map restart.

It looks like to get the stats for who killed who the two files need to be merged together.

Maybe this will hold the information you seek.

In windows you need to view the log with wordpad or the formatting is out.

In Linux most of the editors show it correctly.

This is what is in the statslog file for one map (note will look messed up in post so probably better to check the file yourself)

The page would need to be about 5 pages wide to display correctly. I removed the scores and totals that the logs create and just left the headers so you can see what is included in this log file.
