Will You Miss the Stats?

Maybe light stats instead of full stats would lower the load on the box?

I don't know exactly what do light stats have less than full stats but it would be better than no stats at all.

Thanks, It just occured to me that I have'nt said this before. 24/7 beach rocks!

You're right Parrot: 24/7 Beach rocks and if the stats wont come back, I'll continue to play on it but 24/7 Beach + Stats rocks more than only 24/7 Beach.

Wow... I said '24/7 Beach' really often in that post...

Thank you, Boc.

Glad to see you guys are trying to bring the stats back. This is also what I was talking about. I figured they would not bring the stats down for good. It just didn't make any sense.

Yes, it's nice to hear that.

1. It has been a problem since day1 with the stats.

2. It's not a matter of support, its literally killing the box. If anyone knows anything about linux, we are getting loads of 15 on the stats machine which has nothing else running on it.

3. The stats run on a seperate machine. Resetting them will bring the load down only a little as people load the database while they browse the pages.

4. Nothing else using the box, no. It's not a matter of us putting something else in their place that makes more money, its a matter of not wanting to stress out our components out, especially the critical ones.

Now what Donny ( man-at-arms ) said isnt exactly true. We are trying to find the issue so we can bring them back because we know that all the players enjoy them and it strives them to become better.

Thanks MMmmGood for the quick responce!

Could you clarify number 3 a little better? Is the data already in the MySQL database and gets pulled by the PHP scripts once someone wishes to look at thier stats from the MySQL database?

In other words is there a program that parses the RTCW log file and files to MySQL database and another that loads the client browser via the PHP scripts?

We do know that its an integral part to our public server and it brings in players and eyes to the website, so you are correct in saying that it makes no sense.

Dsteere-

The data is fed from the RTCW server to the stats server at the end of each round, parsed, and put into the database. It's not a huge amount of data really, with all the servers in the database, it gets around 2.5GB in size after a few months. Even when the database is near empty after we clear em, its still causing an unusually high load on the machine when it shouldnt be.

Ok i dont understand chinese! Are we getting stats back?

by **PL_M@ster** » Wed Mar 03, 2004 9:48 pm

LOL, I didn't understand a word of what they said.

Hi MMmmGood

Thank you for the fast reply.

So is the high load caused by the data that is fed from the RTCW server to the stats server's MySQL database or from the users hitting the MySQL database to display there stat's in thier browsers?

I liked the stats, but could you just get rid of stats for pistol, airstrikes and knifings? would that help or maybe only store your acuracy and not total bullets used/number hit.

by **SavageParrot** » Thu Mar 04, 2004 3:42 am

No knife stats, SACRILEDGE! Wash your mouth out with soapy water. Why not get rid of the stats for something useless like panzers?
