logfile parsing

ouroboro · Post by **ouroboro** » Sat Jul 23, 2005 1:26 am

for stats programs like statwhore, if a player changes names during a match, the stats show each alias as an individual. is there a way to avoid this and combine the stats of all their aliases as a single player?

i use logfile "2"

depends on the statstool, it should check if someone renamed.
i do not remember atm if the clientnum will be sent to console log.

infostats uses guid tracking as default, but is also able to track by name and etpro guid, it should work on 2.60 as well, (was designed for 2.56) but the logs shouldn' thave changed much if at all

I suspect for a client tool, it would have to parse the
X renamed to Y
lines. Not impossible, but its up to the tool maker to do it.

well, the reason i ask is because after a recent scrim, myself and one of our opponents both made a statwhore page. the results were very different. after looking closely, i realized that his stats were all combined in his page, but were divided in mine (he changed names several times).

could this be because the logfile contains different namechange info if it's your own logfile and you were the name changer?

No, its the same:

Code: Select all

&#91;skipnotify&#93;^8&#91;^7p^9H^8*^7De^9u^7s^8&#93;^7 renamed to ^88^ee^cc^bb^aa^bb^dd^bb^7
&#91;skipnotify&#93;^2Je^9V^2er^7 renamed to ^WW^a!^uK^33

Perhaps you were using different different versions or settings of statewhore ?

could be i suppose

although it's just a .jar file that you double click, i don't think there are any options per se. never looked into it tho...

Afaik the startup parameters for StatWhore don't extend beyond the file to parse. It doesn't work off of GUID or client number because I can remember games where numerous people played under the same name it skewed the stats to hell, however I've always found that it tracked name changes without trouble so I don't know why yours didn't work. Has it happened regularly or was it just a once off? Did the guy in question reconnect at any time?
