kingneptune117 Posted June 4, 2010 Posted June 4, 2010 Is there any way to get stats to work in any of the MP servers?

Case Posted June 4, 2010 Posted June 4, 2010 Yes, but this is up to the server administrators to implement. Without a standardized log that is written by the game, it is hard to create a page showing the statistics of a server. However, this doesn't mean people are working on it :music_whistling: There are only 10 types of people in the world: Those who understand binary, and those who don't.
Moa Posted June 4, 2010 Posted June 4, 2010 (edited) Stats are more difficult in FC2 because the information you need is now spread between three files (debrief log, network log, and the mission file) rather than the two files in FC1 (mp_log and network log, although only the former was used by most). The upside of the FC2 stats is there is a lot more information available about what went on in a mission. For example, the missiles, shells and bombs fired are now recorded. This allows tracking player loadouts more accurately (cheaters with illegal loadouts can be detected) and the player's accuracy can be calculated eg. players making (legitimate) kills by spamming missiles will have a far worse efficiency than the sniper pilots out there who use one or two missiles per kill. This is just one of the statistics that can be used to distinguish the great pilots among us, and represents objective skill measurement which allows us to strive for more. There are several stats efforts going on at the moment (myself and 3Sqn are working on them AFAIK, perhaps Case is also?). I am trying to finish testing the port of my own FC1 stats system to FC2 by early July. It will operate substantially as the FC1 version does at http://stallturn.com/scores/ but with the addition of scoring for the Ka-50. My scoring software and its (platform-independent, Java) source code will be made available to all squadrons that want to use it. I also hope to get it to output a simpler FC1-like format which allows re-use of existing scoring systems (for example, the 51sts excellent inter-squadron Common Stats system). Accurately aggregating three sources of data (all with completely different structure) is quite an effort so is taking a while. Edited June 4, 2010 by Moa typos 1
