ET server stats

(MuffinMan) #1

i liked the player stats of some rtcw servers a lot and wonder if there’s something like that for ET, yet i didn’t find anything but systats which needs quite a lot prerquisites… what i am searching for is a quite simple php-mysql-only system or anything comparable to be installed on the gameserver or some separate webspace - does anybody have an idea?

If you need help setting up systats, you can email me at syrinxz@users.sourceforge.net .

thanks a lot for the offer but actually i can’t install it on my server as it’s a gameserver hosted at some company and i can’t tell them to install new php libraries…

SyRinX,

The more hype/cutting-edge is your software stuff, the less pple will be able to use it.
That s all …
I know this doesn t help but pple developping free open source software should take care of that.

Well, you can simply put the PHP libraries on your account and refer to them directly. There is no particular need to have them install for the whole system.

PHP libraries are simply tarballs that you extract and include in your code. There is no particular stuff to do.

Since it is now possible in config_inc.php to set the path for these PHP libraries, it is now pretty easy to set up.

Vaticool:
I don’t consider that systats is using hype/cutting-edge software. It’s using Apache/PHP/MySQL which is the most common trio on hosting servers. It’s only using 3 PHP libraries that you can download and extract in your account.

It saves a lot of work on the PHP side and allowed me to develop better features for the stats representation.

I think that these features are worth enough for the little extra trouble to set up systats the first time.

My 2 cents

ok didn’t know that copying the libraries would be enough - so i’ll give it a try now, although i can’t install it on the gameserver but only on my own webspace - is that possible at all? well i’ll see…

Well, if your own webspace allows to run PHP code, it should work. Unless it’s some old version of PHP. I think that over 4.3.1 is fine.

By the way, sorry it took a while for me to reply. I don’t check these forums quite often. For systats support, you should use the source forge web site : http://www.sf.net/projects/systats and go into Forums.

Good luck

that was quite fast actually, anyway i am trying at the moment and my head aches - posted over at the forums now - i’m quite lost with that little documentation… nevertheless thanks for support!

We’re using it at CompuGlobalMegaNet.com, and have nothing but praise for systats!

My only complaint is that it has to be run manually, or via cron script, and I can’t just point the executable at the logfile and have it slurp it all in real-time. :slight_smile: So, we have the stats updating at 4:00 am every day.

Yes I know that my documentation is not quite exhaustive enough to easily setup SyStats. There are some subtle details that I overlooked assuming that they were trivial. Sorry about that.

I’ll check the forums.

Another admin asked me if it was possible to have systats become a daemon process that wakes up at a specified interval. I’ll look into that and might come up with this feature in the next release.

s I just noticed on the forum that it was you who requested that feature. :slight_smile:

Well, I’ll look into it for the next release. It’ll probably be a feature which you can enable/disable.

(ndaberen) #12

Yes, it was me. Didn’t mean to inadvertently spam the fora where you hang out at… :slight_smile:

I’ll post more at sourceforge…
