1 #1 technosex SizzlingStats 80 Frags – +

Last summer, SizzlingCalamari and I began experimenting with a more convenient way for TF2 players to view their stats. After many months of work we are ready to start alpha testing. If you have a server and you're interested, please read this entire post carefully. Overview:

SizzlingStats allows you to view your stats without even having to leave your game. Simply type ".ss" in chat and the in-game browser will show your stats.

There are no logs. You only need to FTP once to install the plugin, which autoupdates itself. SizzlingStats is comprised of a server plugin and a website which is at sizzlingstats.com. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Installation: Extract the zip file and inspect the directory structure. Merge the contents of the folder to your server accordingly, then restart the server.



Type rcon sizz_stats_version in console to see if the plugin is loaded.



Metamod and Sourcemod are not required. Recommended : To obtain ownership of your stats, login to http://sizzlingstats.com, then go to http://sizzlingstats.com/profile and get your API key. Paste this into the file "cfg/sizzlingplugins/sizzlingstats.cfg" as the comments show. Other Configuration Options : To disable STV uploading, set this option in "cfg/sizzlingplugins/sizzlingstats.cfg": sizz_stats_auto_upload_demos 0 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Notes:

- Currently, stats update only at the end of each round. Meaning that hitting ".ss" won't show you anything new until the round ends. - This is alpha software, please be aware that it may crash your server. - You can use log plugins simultaneously with SizzlingStats. You are encouraged to compare our stats with the output on logs.tf, for example. We are aware that Damage and Heals are calculated differently, but if any other numbers are different then it should be brought to our attention. - SizzlingStats is open-source. However, the plugin is for non-commercial use only (Full License). ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Known Issues (that we are working on):

- You must set cl_disablehtmlmotd 0 in order to view stats in-game. (This is a setting in your own game, not the server.) - The in-game browser refreshes when a player dies. This is a Valve bug and there's not much we can do about it. - Team switches, e.g. in A/D maps, is not taken into account in the team scoring. - Software updates occur during changelevels and on server restarts, but sometimes it takes an additional server restart for the new version to load. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Contact:

- For issues with the plugin, contact SizzlingCalamari with the following info:

--- Who is your server provider?

--- What other plugins are you running?

--- Is your server on Linux or Windows? You can find out by FTPing to your server and looking at the /orangebox/bin folder -- if it is filled with .so files, it's Linux. If it has mostly .dll files, it's Windows. You can also use the issue tracker on Github at https://github.com/SizzlingStats/sizzlingplugins/issues - For issues with the website, contact dy/dx (me).
