I am planning to re-code large portions of U13SSS to greatly improve the speed of the stats updates.

The current release contains large bugs in the On-The-Fly update system which have yet to be fixed.

In my next immediate release, release 5.0, I plan to:
-Add FTP support
-Fix these bugs

In the following major release (there may be intermediate releases 5.x) I would like to compile a list of features to be added. Please suggest anything:
-admin interface for u13sss(time-consuming)
-improved customization of top10s page (easy)
-password protection of the statsupdate page (easy)
-IP protection of the statsupdate page (relatively easy)

I would like to see a Friendly Admin Interface, eg. admin.php:

Admin your server: Update Mapslist, Ban IP, Ban Player, UpdateStats, Show server as offline (?), Disable on the fly statsupdate......dunno, you know your features?

Another thing you should also add is a pass to statsupdate.php :) (And you know what i mean)

i will add at least some of those, a simple admin page at the very least. in the current releases, adding a password to statsupdate.php can be done very easily by just requiring certain vet variables/values :P thats what i ended up doing with mine, as well as IP restrictions

Well I was involvoved certainly in you putting a password to statsupdate.php :)

Just think of people who dont know that "much" PHP to put a password, oh come, if it is so easy, just implemente it, yes? :)

Ways to change the Top 10's to be able to have say... Top X killers, top X point getters, up to 100 I guess. So you could have 10, 15, 20, etc. top whatever showing. Hope you understand that.

That's not very easy if you understand a bit of MySQL and PHP :)

Some other suggestions:
-a way to show the most used weapons without actually clicking on a weapon in someone's profile
-Maybe a clan rankings section, you could have the admin specify clan tags or people submit them, or just grab the, I don't know.
-Since its on the fly updating, maybe a page to show who killed who ,but only a certain amount of kills displayed.
-A stat showing total wins of red/blue

A section on u13 where you can view the leading clans, members, and statistics.

i would add that, but that is really not something for u13sss, that is something more for a person to make for his own page. perhaps itll be on u13 someday, but right now im more interested in u13sss

Ok, I know what you mean, sorry if I sounded pushy or anything, I was just wondering, take your time, it's great that your even are updating it.

Well, I'll add my good old request:
- better speeds please
- 4.6 used to hang for me in some situations - it didn't zero line counter for next file; rebuilding database with like half milion kills is a pain

when the day comes that this release is out, it will update far faster, won't hang, and will have none of the other update issues that you may have had with older versions

I'm waiting for it with anticipation. Also, if you don't mind I think it would be generally cool to have logs in xhtml standard and with CSS. This way it would be easier to manage layout, it would give more possibilites and I think that thanks to CSS, site would load faster.

I think I might try to help with something if you don't mind, but similiar aswith you, my classes/projects are killing my time.

School this semester has been really hard and kept me busy, so I have not gotten much done lately at all. The semester is over in 2 weeks, and I plan on working on it during my winter break between semesters

I'm on winter break and reworking u13sss now. I am already partially done with the new statsupdate. This one is 100x better, 100x faster, and should never crash or mess up the stats at all.

hi,
I experience a problem after deleting logs. Then, i set the value in the SQL database for match with the new log file, but nothing work.

here are the new value I set:

update 0
updateline 1
soldatlognumber 3
updatelinecons 1
lastlogsize [tested w/ enmpty value & 0]

I do an error?

FliesLikeABrick

soldatlognumber is the number of the next log it is going to look at, but i think the current resume feature also looks at the last log (so it also looks for log 2).

You may be better off setting soldatlognumber to 4 if your logs start at 3, with updateline and updatelinecons at 0


btw, for the general thread here: i'm currently about 50% done with the changes to the scripts, hopefully they will be released in the next week

nothing to do, when i use the page statupdate.php, it wait for a minute and write:
"update finished. The next update will resume on log number 0"
This lognumber correspond to the one i enter in the database.
I dont know what to do, i read the scrip of the update page and i'm try to understand some lines. If i found the problem i'll tell you.
thx


EDIT for the index.php; in my case i just copy&rename the search.php to index.php

noobs should use zitro-stats if they want to use this on their site

u13sss is intended for people who want to built stats into their site and know what they're doing

I've been working an a C++ updater for U13SSS for some days now; it's almost ready and it's alot faster than the PHP script that's included with your distro.
Prelimenary tests show 15 seconds for a 3 megabyte killog file.

If you are intrested in this, please let me know as it'd be stupid to continue this if you are still working on the new U13SSS scripts ;-)

Hi,

yes I'm currently on U13SSS.
But I'm very busy with school and other personal stuff.

Anyway, I still keep checking SoldatForums sometimes.
I still need to do CSS implementation and a bugfix in the admin console.
The beta-tests worked well except for the FTP method.
I can't put a release date (the date where I give it to FLAB again , when he wants to release is his choice then).

Anyway, the script is alot faster than it used to be (twice as fast) , though there are still some improvements that could speed it up by atleast 10%-20% , but that'd require a major rewrite of the engine which takes too long for the effect.

Grtz , DePhille

its far faster than twice as fast as the current version that is out, I think you're comparing it to the copy that I gave to you. The one that is out now is slow and inefficient.

Please contact me sometime.
