Quake 4 Stats

Post by **{uZa}FreakOfNature** » Wed Mar 01, 2006 5:01 pm

Did anyone ever come up with a way to have stats generated to HTML so that users of your server can see how they're doing?

Now that our server's starting to populate nicely, I'd like to get some stats up on our website.

Xbattle
If you are using XBattle you can enable extended logging which create a logfile similar to Quake 3's games.log file, but with more information in it. Since we haven't finished the statistics program (we are working on it) there are currently no options to present stats like VSP. However since parsing a logfile and create some simple statistics are quite simple, there are probably many that can help you.

Note
The content of the logfile is still under development and might therefore change, but the current format is probably going to the final. In other words we might add and remove some of the information logged, but not change the way the content is written in the logfile.

Q4Max
Q4Max have also in the newest release created a xml logfile which contains "end of game statistics" (quote Q4Max) and they have created a php script which gives you statistics like this

See this page for more information about the Q4Max stats

g_statsLog only appears in server-commands.txt. Is there no way to get extended client-side logging? Server-side logging is OK for server admins that want stats of their server, but client-side logging is required for clans, for example, that want to be able to upload stats to their web site from games played in various places.

I'm guessing from your quote only covering XBM you're already aware of this, but the q4max stats dumps cover both client and serverside.

We've got XSL and PHP solutions for viewing the stats in a nice format via your web-browser, so does that mean we get that paypal donation?

I don't know if you were referring to me (That isn't my quote), but I'm looking for SERVER side Stats generation on Vanilla Quake 4 (No mods, just custom maps).
