Skin Tracker

I just finished writing a script that tracks what skins players are using.
I wrote this to help manage the skin overload that comes with downloading the skin packs. I plan on using this information to also purge out skins that are not used.
When I get my new website up, I'll see about maintaining an up to date skin pack.

very nice. is there a way to extract each individual skin and make a skin pack from that?

I just wrote to the keybind thread on this very topic... what did you do to get this list?

dommi wrote:

it is a linux bash script ran on one of my servers
I am working to convert it to python before i start adding more features to it.

ah, ok.

does it only work on servers or linux?

right now yes, but you could use a linux emulator if you want to go through the trouble.

What is it that you are looking for?

Updated the list and my script to remove some of the standard skins.

I was just wondering if I could run it on my computer, but I don't have linux on my computer

You would need a bash emulator: cygwin or win-bash

It really isn't very user friendly at the moment, and I can't guarantee that it will work since I don't use any emulators at the moment.

Sorry for the messy code...it was written pretty quickly.
The output file is a csv file so you can import it into a spreadsheet.
It is also designed to run continuously. To stop it delete the run file it creates...that will cause it to save and exit.

I just rewrote the script.
Made it so I can filter out the number players and the characters that come with UT.

I am still working on the unicode issue, but I can never test it because the unicode players only come on when I am not working on it

You people should play more often

I started rewriting the skin tracker from scratch in python.

I am fairly new to python, and this is my first big project in it.

Current status:
It produces the attached screenshot.
It doesn't actually save any data yet.

My Goals:

Automatically track each player's highest score along with mapname and time it occured.

Track skins for making skin packs for the skin manager

Track total playtime for skin manager.

My bugs:

My major issue is that I don't know how to handle some of the unicode data that comes in...manly because it happens so rarely that I can't test for it.

The other issue is that when a player logs off, the last player in the list is duplicated. Again this is difficult to debug at the moment, because when I work on it, people rarely log off. I have a hack in place to check for dup names, but I don't like using it. I don't know if the dup is coming from the raw data or a flaw with the way I am using the dictionary list (anyone know the best way to purge a dictionary? I am using querydata={} inside a function )

The other things I have to address are to handle non-invasion gametypes, and handle player count when bots are involved (never use numplayers to iterate a loop!)

I have an idea of what could be causing the log off dup issue. my guess is that you have an array with X slots allocated. when someone logs off, there are X-1 players but it has not changed the allocation to X-1, so it is still X. the list updates but the last player hasn't had anything overwrite it.

Since it can track number of monsters and the wavenumbers.
There might be other stats that might be interesting to look at like average wave times for each map. Or the Highest player and team score for each.
This info might be handy to figure out what maps take forever to play, or maps that might have exploits.

That is what I was thinking. The function that converts the udp data into the dictionary is supposed to erase the dictionary. It drops the last two fields of the udp data (queryid, and final) so the last field to be added to the dictionary is the last player.
I suspect it has something to do with the way dictionaries are handled in python. It looks like the variable just stores a pointer to the dictionary array. What I could do is just delete all player entries prior to updating. Or I could get the last player entry from the udp data and remove anything past that...I don't think either way will generate any real performance issues.

I only know C++ so I will write my example in the cpp equivelant:

if(playerQuit=true)
{
dropVar++;
}
if(playerJoin=true)
{
dropVar--;
}
// at the end, drop the last dropVar entries. just int the dropVar at 2 when the map starts
