Mut: Per Server Stats
- Thread starter Marco
- Start date
So here's some information into setting up server news page and what tags are supported.
Few notes though:
Following tags are available:
<P> - Paragraphs, simply ends text with 2 line breaks (same as using <BR><BR>).
<BR> - Line break.
<BODY> - Setup news page body, with additional settings:
<RIGHT>Abc</Right> - Right alignment on a segment of text.
<H1>Abc</H1> - Header text (center alignment + font size 5).
<FONT>Abc</FONT> - Change font with following params:
<TITLE>Abc</TITLE> - Set news page title.
<A HREF="http://www.google.com">Google</A> - Set a link, supports following protocols:
Here is an example rules page:
Few notes though:
Colour tags are supported with following formats:
#HEX - Hex definition of font color.
RBG(RRR,GGG,BBB) - 0-255 color values for RBG, i.e: RBG(255,0,0) for red.
Color name: RED, BLUE, GREEN, YELLOW, BLACK, WHITE.
Font size can be defined either with a value relative to screen resolution (0-16), where largest values are for smaller font size. Or then with negative numbers (-1 to -9) for size regardless of screen resolution on client, where -1 is smallest and -9 is largest font size.
All images you use must be from in-game only (I can't make it download binary files from websites). So image names must match with some texture from in-game or it will show as Engine.DefaultTexture, as example:
<IMG SRC="2K4Menus.DemoHeaderBar">

Spoiler!
Appears that the non-FTP database no longer works, after upgrading to the latest it shows that the server connected to the database correctly and with the correct password but it does not load any perks nor any stats, it does the same in Solo except the perks appear but they are N/A no matter what

Thank you Marco for this great update and thank you for maintaining SP in general!
We successfully ported our perk stats to FTP server and everything works like a charm. Some extra advises for server admins, who want to do the same:
We successfully ported our perk stats to FTP server and everything works like a charm. Some extra advises for server admins, who want to do the same:
- Set RemotePort=21 (default for FTP or whatever your FTP server uses).
- If you thousands of player stats in your db, then I suggest to setup temporary FTP server on your local PC, migrate stats, and then copy result files to the destination using FTP client. It can save a lot of time for you.
So what exactly is this ftp support now? There is many many different ways this can be worked so can someone explain in more detail?
Perks stats are stored on FTP server, 1 file per player. When player joins the game, SP downloads his file (<steamid>.txt) from FTP server and loads it). When saving stats, SP uploads changed stat files back to the FTP.
Pros:
- No need to run PerkDB program anymore, which was esp. painful on Linux servers.
- No need to worry about growing amount of players (growing DB).
- You can easy check how many unique players had played on your server during last period of time by checking file dates.
Cons:
- If you don't have a local access to FTP server files, it is harder (or at least longer) to create backups of the stats.
So basically we need to use a FTP software to allow this to occur and unblock the ftp from the firewall? Sorry, i'm still a little confused. Probably too much thinking going on lol. Sounds really efficient though. I'm wondering if it'll be better off on my server. Also another question is you said the stats are sent from when they join, so I could edit it but if they reconnect after the edit, the new stat changes will take effect?
Getting a odd crash when using the FTP database, this crash happens after any map change

Name subsystem shut downSetting up basic FTP server is simple both under Windows or Linux. If your all KF servers are running on one machine, then it is the best to set up FTP server on the same machine too without opening any extra ports in firewall.
But if you have only one server, then using the old good ServerPerksStat.ini is the best choice for you imo.

Just a note for those considering setting up a remote FTP server for SP stats, I don't recommend using the default port. A more secure solution is to choose an unused port in the registered range (1024-49151), since FTP is a commonly targeted service.
If you don't know how to do this, then I'd stick with defaults.
Uh, WebAdmin shows both ServerPerks and ScrnBalance as v6, when they've both been updated to v7 (confirmed in-game). Is this just me?
Edit: I figure this is probably intentional. It had me worried for a bit because my server was having other issues that I think I've managed to fix now.

poosh: я так понял ServerPerksHost больше не получится использовать? только фтп?
если да, то подскажи фтп хороший
буду пробовать ставить...
И о переносе статистики из Data.ini подробнее можно рассказать?

По-видимому, у всех такая проблемма, что ServerPerks v7 не работает с ServerPerksHost. Но это баг, и я надеюсь, что он будет исправлен.

I said that I seems like ServerPerks v7 doesn't work with ServerPerksHost. But this is a bug and I hope it'll be fixed.
That is not the only thing happening on your server, you are also getting errors popping up inside the server
