Patch: Local Statistic Tracking

[jitspoe]

I got 4 grabs and 0 caps, and my stats were 1.#J:1, hehe, but that's a minor bug.  Good work.  This will be in the next build.

Found another small bug.  If there are no profiles on the computer and you use "localstats" it spits back a command not found error.  Might be useful if it said you had to be logged in or something.

It's designed to be like that, it only registers the commands if the system loads correctly, and isn't loaded until you log in.

But a nice "Login stupid!" message would be nice if they weren't logged in.

Would I be a good for a database to be created so the local info could be uploaded for the public to see?  I could do one in java.  I need practice at it.

I'm not sure if that's a good idea.  Client-side stats are easy to fake, so they wouldn't hold much meaning, and I despise java.

[Garrett]

True about the faking part.  I like java but, my opinion will likely change once I learn c/c++/c#.

Why do the stats have to hold any meaning? If the stats system has significant meaning then people will only try harder to game it. My ideal system would be server side, but it would also allow the user to reset their stats whenever they'd like to, but client side works just fine for that too.

I never understood stats tracking.  With stats tracking, people just try to find ways to make their stats look better.  People should know how good you are by how you play, not how your stats look.

Another reason it probably shouldn't be made public.  People would probably spawn camp on the speed servers for 8 hours a day to rack up kills.

No problem, if it works only on a "certificated" server. Means a server with special settings and (finished) maps.

U work on it anymore?

If yes, it would be nice if u could add the weapon stats.
