README:

Intro
Ok, I made a PHP Script, SX4. The objetive is the same as U13sss, but Text-Based, no MySQL Database needed. But as my programming skills are very basic, the features include are few:

Requirements
* Webserver with PHP
* Soldat Server with Kill-Logs

Installing
* Get a webserver with PHP or run yours. I recommend the first one, cause it's easier: try at http://www.freepgs.com or try googling.
* Unzip all the files in the desired directory.
* Configure config.php
* If you are running on a linux server, you have to chmod to 0777 the hole directory.
* Run install.php

To update the stats run statsupdate.php . To display the stats, you will have to use include(). Eg. To show player stats write:


Demo

* Generated image.

* Player ranking based on K:D

Still to do

Please post Suggestions/Ideas/Improvements/Bugs.

I think a project like this would be better suited as a stand-alone application. It could be scheduled to run automatically every day or so to parse log files, outputting static HTML.

There is a free VB.NET/C# IDE called SharpDevelop available here: http://www.icsharpcode.net/opensource/sd/ . It is very easy for beginners to learn (drag and drop GUI, code completion) and there are lots of VB.NET source code samples floating around the internet.

Maybe you can make a detalied tutorial how to use the script.

I will.

I'd love to use this, but can't figure out how to make it work. =S

I ran install.php and got a blank page. So I checked the directory and there were a few new things:

-images (empty)
-stats
--logs (empty)
--players (empty)
--weapons (empty)
-error_log

Did I do something wrong?

install.php might take a bit to run. are you sure you let it finish loading?

Yep, it finished loading...3 times. =S

Lemme try dis one..

Reaper, add me to MSN please @ jmartty@hotmail.com

I did, but have yet to see you on it. =D

Your stats in collaboration with the new SARJ could be quite... harmonious. ;)

Ok, just try chmoding the DIR/FILES (where the install.php is) to 777.

Will do. I'll let you know whether or not it works out fine.

[EDIT]
Now I get an Internal Server Error. >.<
[/EDIT]

Weird, well, i'll post the files here for you instead of the install.php.

Edit: Here

Mkay, now I have everything, but no clue what I'm doing with it all. -_-"

Do you know/have PHP in your webserver?

yes he does, i believe he was using my scripts for a while

Yes, I have PHP. I was going to use yours, FliesLikeABrick, but I changed the server to TDM.

While it is installed on my webserver, I know little to nothing about it. >.<

I wouldn't worry too much about it. I may be changing the server to CTF again for SCTFL.

Link down.

i like it a lot, but it would be better as a stand-alone app.

http://sx4.u13.net


http://ww2.u13.net/host/arg/newsx4/sx4.zip
link fixed here, the file has moved

Thanks flies!

Would anybody be willing to help me set up stats for my server with this?

Yeah, me add me on MSN jmartty@hotmail.com ...

Is this project completely dead? If not, I'm looking forward to the next release and the GUIDE because I'm having difficulties getting this to work...

Well, it is a bit dead, im sorry. If you need help, contact me on MSN.

EDIT: Im planning to get back to work on this again. Just for the moment, I fixed the download link and added a demo version.

I like this script. Very easy to use.

will this working on with webhotel? or must it be on own computer with apache or something?

I'm having some problems... it keeps looking for lognum.txt when installing, and a bunch of other .txt files, but it doesn't create them/ tell me to put them where they are uspposed to go... what should i do about this?

Mar77a has used antoher host for this *yay* because mine sucked. hard. But i really do like the way he is going with the Population Control Clan Stats site.

heh, like here yo have a cool demo i've setup for PC's server.

Hi

Just registered to this forum.

Im getting this error on stats page

Warning: Error parsing C:\Soldat\soldat.ini on line 165 in C:\xitami\xitami-25\app\webpages\soldat stats\engine.php on line 48

what seems to be the problem? does it effect into anything? I don't know much from php so im kinda stuck, it was an miracle that i got this far.

Hmn, it has to do with the parse_ini_file() function:
quote:Note: There are reserved words which must not be used as keys for ini files. These include: null, yes, no, true, and false. Values null, no and false results in "", yes and true results in "1". Characters |&~![()" must not be used anywhere in the key and have a special meaning in the value.

Remove any of those characters from the line 165, in:
[Player]
Name=

It's me again, I'm just wondering how often Top10.php is being updated? and total kills? and other stats.
After server is restarted and new kill log created? is there a way to auto-update itself, like every 30min?

You have to update the stats by running statsupdate.php manually. Stats will be updated when a new kill log or console log is created.

Very nice script, e-z to set-up, update, run, config...
There are however a few little typos in the script, in weaponstats.php for getting num of kills for each wep when parsing cluster files it checks for wrong filename:

if(file_exists("stats/weapons/Cluster-K.txt")){
$clukills = @file("stats/weapons/Clusters-K.txt");
$clukills = count($clukills);
}else{
$clukills = 0;
}
(should be :
if(file_exists("stats/weapons/Clusters-K.txt")){
...)

similar problem with AK-74...
is...
if(file_exists("stats/weapons/AK_74-K.txt")){
$akkills = @file("stats/weapons/AK_74-K.txt");
$akkills = count($akkills);
}else{
$akkills = 0;
}
(should be...
lowercase k in Ak-74 not uppercase)

And is there any ext for php i need for creating the forum-safe images (i'm running php4).


Ty and good job!

Hmm. Having trouble in a Linux install. It reads the log files, but shows everything as 0 and not showing any stats. My server is located in /root/. Would this have anything to do with it? U13 stats don't work either. -Eric

Error: [code]Warning: fopen(stats/logs/lognum.txt): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/ethal/public_html/stats/install.php on line 19

Couldnt open lognum.txt[/code]

help me :(

Let's seeee...

Thanks Glucose, i'll fix that small bugs and other i have to in the next release.
Ken, you need to chmod to 0777 the main script directory,

mar77a's back! huzzah! I'm wondering if it is possible to rename the server for the stats you setup for me.

..And how exactly do I "chmod to 0777 the main script directory"? :D

Me=nub with this stuff..

Using any ftp client, for example www.web2ftp.com

mar77a can u help me out? i never see u on MSN :S
anyway when i run serverinfo.php it says server is offline even if its online, and i get lot of internal server errors (error 500) :S
help!!!

umm I give it a new try (didn't even remember I tried to use it :D) and got this error/warning when I wanted it to show the serverinfo:

Warning: parse_ini_file(): Cannot open '' for reading in /home/ethal/public_html/test/resources/sx4/engine.php on line 48

it shouldn't be anything with the directory since the the file who shows it is in /resources..

Mmm, if your filesystem is EXT2 or similar (Linux), you'll have to chmod the file so that the script can read it. Also, make sure you dont have special characters (listed in http://php.net/parse_ini_file ) in your soldat.ini.

This script confused me...

I got it to work properly. I just can't get it to work on my site. But that is fine, because I can still access it through IRC to view ranks from there.

Also, is there a way to count suicides as suicides?

Mmm, no, because of the kill-log parsing system. It does kills in one loop, and deths in another one, so there's no way of merging them.
