Server Stats

Greetings everyone. I'm thinking about eliminating the stats tracking, at least for invasion.

It adds considerably to the server load, and while it is interesting to look at, seems inaccurate for invasion games.

What do ya'all think?

I look at it every once and awhile, But most of the time when i look at it, The info seems alittle off. Fine with me on tossen it.

If your talkin about those ubstat server stats yah fine with me mine are still not workin lol.

However I do have a question for yah druid , shan or any other computer minded person I just tried to player stats on the dc home page page ( the ones that list only our points levels, and what skills we have) and I get a navigation error, and it states the server is not returning that page?

Bah some days comuters irritate me lol

if it cuts down on lag or the $ ur putting into the server, yeah drop em. they're cool to look at, but not worth that invisible rock that just killed me.

The server stats don't work for me either. Theyve been stuck on 13th March every since i've been here, so feel free to get rid of them. I wont be missing them

I agree, I say toss them. Never really look at them anyway, it's not my rating via stats that I play the game for anyway, it's the fun.

I third...umm....fourt...fif...whatever. Nuke 'em.

No lag goooooood.

cheers.
t.

If it increases performance, i say drop em out of the way.

Cha-Chi I like your signiture, You make it yourself? If so I have a suggestion if you would like to hear it. It changes to Cha-Chi to fast from "Do You Think Your Man Enough". But besides that i likey.

Well I liked to know where I rank at compared to the other people on the server, the rest I thought was neat to beable to see what other people had for skills and stats, but it would be nothing I would miss.

I'm going to agree with LDK, I did like checking up on what others were buying at my level, or what higher levels had... I will miss them. Although having less lag is a plus, so because the game is what its about I'll agree to drop them.

Actually this has nothing to do with the RPG Stats being down.

I'm talking about the statistics about number of kills, what weapons people are good or stink at.

The RPG stats are down because ocassionally the unreal server writes out the UT2004RPG.ini as unicode text instead of standard ascii. I'll be repairing the file soon.

well I check that all the time also, I just wish it didnt keep track of player 0

Oh, I guess I had them confused... I don't generally check the one where it shows statistics on weapons and such, I thought we were talking about the one on player levels found on the front page. I for one am glad they aren't the ones in question.

Dru,

I think we have discussed this enough that you know my answer (infact, I think we discussed it while you were just thinking about it). Between bugs in the server and bugs in the statsdb, it is still busted in a big way for INV. The core of the problem is the fact that Epic (regardless of how many times I have complained to the likes of Michiel/El Muerte, DrSin, Pezman and others, to the point where I was pretty much asked to drop it) still has not gotten off their 6 to fix logging of bots and monsters.

Add to that the fact that RPG will skew things, and it gets worse. Then of course, there is the problem of coming in late in the game (like wave 16). It takes something which is mostly worthless and makes it nearly totally worthless.

Now for DM, TDM, etc, where you are generally talking shorter games, no RPG, etc., that starts to become a different matter. So it is nice that those will likely be sticking around.
