New JK2 Log parser is out

*bump*...??...

 

I know what *ploink* means....but *bump* ?

Question answered, I just didn't know for certain if you had taken log-rotations into account in the parser.

 

I cron the job every 2 hours for the parser, that's plenty accurate for my tastes. I have a script that runs every morning at 7am now which brings down the server, parses/archives the log and restarts the server. It seems to be working quite well.

 

-h

[crazy_elmo]

Sorry if this sounds stupid, but i'm not very experienced with this.

 

I installed the script, and it seems to be running fine, i get no error messages and it generates the .html output file, except it stays empty. ( except for the stylesheet etc., just no data from log )

 

The log file excists and has player data in it,

 

What am I doing wrong ?

Which logfile are you specifying? By default, the script uses the information that the server writes to the jedi.log file (unless you have renamed it). You can specify the logfile on the command line to test it..

 

logparse.pl -logfile <path to your logfile>

Works and Looks great thanks!!

Thanks for the tip, it works great now !!!

 

I got it up and running with a cron job that update's the data every 20 minutes.

 

You can see it over here

If you still had a copy of the very first logparse script you made. I liked its simplicity.

 

And was also good to teach myself how to search strings for informationan and then how to manipulate that data using perl.

 

 

Thanx

I need help with this. I have a blank ftp server user i can make and have it in a empty folder so no one can mess. I'm not good at this stuff. Would someone help me install this master pice.

[kanehart]

Ok I will take that as no one cares

[Leo]

[kanehart]

it should show my info under what i say does not work oh well

[Leo]

I have added you at my list.

[Wintrmte]

* bump * .. I tried submitting this application to the guys here at jediknightii to add to their files database.. Hasn't made it there yet.

Is there currently any way of getting it to display only certain weapons? I run a duel server, and statistics of blasters and whatnot would be inappropriate. There seems to be an option in the logparse.pl itself, but it says that the feature should not be used, as it is broken at the moment. Is there another way?

It is broken in the sense that you cannot specify multiple weapons to ONLY display. But, it *should* work if you replace the all with MOD_SABER

 

This should only display lightsaber weapon stats..

[geronimo27]

I run a saber only server, so to make all non-saber weaps show I commented out the weapons in the weapon define block of ther perl script that I didn't want. Pretty easy.

 

So, I am at work, and don;t have the script on me, but if you look in the perl script where you can change the names from MOD_SABER to Lightsaber, for example, put a # character in front of every weapon line that you don't want.

 

 

I was wondering if there is a way to add in the choice of which stat to rank the main stats by? What I mean is this - the main stats are currently ranked by the number of kills. This doesn't necessarily mean that the top people are good - it just means they play a lot, and if the stats are up for awhile, then it might mean they are a regular on the server.

 

Because of this, I would like to rank the main stats by efficiency rating, so regardless of whether a player is a newb to the server or a regular, the top people listed in the stats are truly the top players.

You bet. The next version will generate different stats screens that are sorted by Rank, Skill, Death, Suicides, etc.

 

I would like to point out the reason why I am doing static .html vs. going the PHP, ASP route.. (Since I've been emailed numerous times about this).

 

Not everyone uses servers that support PHP, or ASP. Going the static .html route is the easiest route to take, since it guarentee's (sp?) that the user can display the pages.

[geronimo27]

Excellent - I'm really looking forward to that! I agree about the reasoning behind not using PHP or ASP.

 

Thanks for all your hard work - it is really appreciated!

I'm still having some flakey behavior with log rotations, tack that on to your list stoof.

 

If possible I'd love to see an additive mode of some kind that could be used on a per-file basis. The mode would parse a single log file in its entirety adding those stats to it's recorded stats.

 

No line count, no half-done games or anything. Just a parse from start to finish of a single file which would end at EOF or the last piece of good data (in the case of a server crash)

 

I'd rather cron that with my log rotator script than mess with the incremental stuff, it just seems to miss too much data within my current scheme.

Why would it be doing this.

 

I run logparse.pl -logfile jedi.log (as it sits in the same directory for now).

 

And I get the following error message -

 

Found the last line of the logfile

 

It writes the .html file, with no stats, just updates the time the stats were run.

I had the same problem, but with me it turned out that I was using the wrong logfile. The server creates 2 files, the one I use is called game.log ( by default ). Doesn't hurt to check this out...
