Is the "who was shot down logs" secret?
« on: January 27, 2003, 09:03:40 PM »
Does HTC ever release the Logs on who you or any other player has shot down in the last month???

It would be very interesting to see....

especailly these "extremly high score " guys...

Not pointing fingers(2nd account vulchers)..but i would be interested to see who shoots who and such...

These logs are secret HTC property??

Have they ever been available?

Salute..
BiGB

p.s.  I only get Kill shooter kills...so if you se me killing my self alot..dont sweat it:D

i believe the logs ahve to be specifically turned on. and considering the vloume of MA traffic over a month, can we say it'll make a mass goon drop look like a teeny twitch?

I would like these logs available as well. It would be quite entertaining and informative.

It's all in the database. If you want to know for someone whose callsign you know, you can look it up on the score pages (player vs. player, select your and opponents callsign).

Logging doesn't have to be turned on, there just needs to be a web-page that reads this from the scoredatabase.

I would like to be able to dump all the console messages (even better - include option to select specific channels) into the plain text file. Would be very easy to write an parser for that "file".

IMHO this text dump save log feature would be a really easy and simple addition.

Edit:
This above mentioned idea would run on your FE so no SQL queries required. Result would be just plain TXT file ready to be parsed (maybe each line of this dump could start with your system time and date (tab or space delimited)  for better parsing)

Edit Edit:
ehh... Just noticed that there is already similar thought in the forums.... oh well... :) But it is still a good thing to implement IMHO. just a simple dump... :D

There's a slight problem with installing this function.  It requires a major search.  Right now, HTC's database isn't the most efficient function on the face of the earth.  If you run a querry every 10 seconds for something as simple as player stats you will cause warping in the arenas.

If you've ever had HiTech call you at 10 at night and ask if you were running querries, you'd know what I mean.

That function has always been on the 'Stats' page BGB. Just go to scores/kill stats/pilot vs/pilot. I don't know alot about "netstuff" but I think the website and the game servers are separate.

heh then try to use it to find out who were the guys you have shot down and how many times you shot them down (or you was shot down by them).

You will soon realize that the function that is there on the stat page was NOT designed for getting such stats and using it for getting such stats is next to impossible ;)

Works for me :confused: I mean the way it's designed it is tedious to look up several but it is better than nothing...

Yep but there should be a simple way to track all your kills/deaths names during the tour... Even if only the console log (Channel 6 is it?) was dumped into a text file It would take me probably very short time to write application that would parse the file into a very readable statistics... could be interesting...

First of all I wouldn't worry top guys cheating. Look at rules Hitech said all kills and scores to be chk before money.
