This is a plugin for server hosts. It's not server-sent, it runs on your server. It doesn't activate when you're playing on another server.

It sends a bunch of stats at the end of each round to my server:

• GG2 version
• Server name
• Server IP and port
• Map
• Winning team
• Game mode (+ number of control points and whether there's a setup gate if CP)
• Timer and time limit (if applicable)
• Respawn time (if applicable)
• Red/blue caps (if CP)
• Red/blue wins (if arena)

Plus this info about each player:

• Name (not sent since version 1.1 after wareya objected - fair enough)
• Team
• Class
• Whether they have queueJump enabled

And all thirteen stats about each player:

• Kills
• Deaths
• Caps
• Assists
• Destruction
• Stabs
• Healing
• Defenses
• Invulns
• Bonus
• Dominations
• Revenge
• Points

And that's all. The data is sent silently and automatically, and if it fails to send, it will not crash your server. All the data is publicly available at http://stats.ajf.me/

This is not supposed to be some evil NSA spying program. All this info is available publicly anyway if you join a server. I'm just making a way to automatically collect it.

So, why send all this data? Well, we can build up a database of GG2 games with it. This is useful because we can see if certain game modes are biased one way or the other, or how respawn times affect things, or how many people use queueJump, etc. While the interface atm is very primitive, it's all backed by a proper SQLite database, so all sorts of interesting queries could be run.

Running a server and interested in joining this project to gather stats?

Download v1.2.1 now!
(it's a zip file, extract the files into your Plugins folder. onroundend.gml needs to be at Plugins\Stats\onroundend.gml to work.)

queueJump

What now?

[Phantom Brave]

Yes, there's an option in gg2.ini as of a few versions ago which enables cpma/QL style queued jumping.

Pardon me, I still don't understand.

[Phantom Brave]

It means that when you press your jump button, but can't jump, and hold it down until you can jump, you will hold the moment that you can first jump. So it's easier to do platforming on laggy servers.

ohhhhhhh, thats what its for, i thought its just some nice bunny hop like feature to play around with.

remember a couple months back I tried to get everyone to manually collect their stats in a spreadsheet
good times

[ajf]

Code: [Select]

sqlite> SELECT COUNT(*) FROM game WHERE gameMode = 'cp' AND winner = 1 AND controlPoints = 2 and setupGate=1;
1
sqlite> SELECT COUNT(*) FROM game WHERE gameMode = 'cp' AND winner = 0 AND controlPoints = 2 and setupGate=1;
9

yeah so a/d is pretty biased against BLUE (winner = 0 is RED, winner = 1 is BLUE)

?

Anyhow, I've cleared the DB (doesn't matter, we'll collect plenty of new stats), but now there are timestamps. I also merged caps and wins.

Because of the caps/wins merger, I made Version 1.2 (download here), though there's no need to update to it as the server-side code will, for backwards-compatibility, accept winsRed and winsBlue as well as capsRed and capsBlue. Timestamps are server-side too.

Have fun y'all.

oh I get it

it's not very comparable to the NSA tho

[ajf]

Code: [Select]

sqlite> SELECT COUNT(*) FROM game WHERE gameMode = 'cp' AND winner = 0 AND controlPoints = 2 and setupGate = 1;
15
sqlite> SELECT COUNT(*) FROM game WHERE gameMode = 'cp' AND winner = 1 AND controlPoints = 2 and setupGate = 1;
9

15:9 RED:BLU wins on A/D. Interesting. So RED wins 62.5% of the time on A/D. Not as bad as I thought actually.

[ajf]

I made an S&T thread:

Now that I have my stat database, is there anything you'd like me to check?

Most recent post there is by me, with a better A/D check. Turns out when there are actual players, A/D is pretty damn biased.

Make it sortable on the webpage. By Server-Name/Winner/Amount of players etc. etc.
