Dedicated server log file

Recommended Posts

If you take a look at the tracking result & reports that can be displayed via web interface, you will notice CS/HL has the most features, as to how many nade kills a player had during his entire gaming life, what is the most commonly used weapon of a player, etc

This is not possible with the existing OFP dedicated servers - in order to gather server/player information, constant polling is required, which is neither effecient nor scalable.

I request a similar server log file structure as in CS/HL, so a stand-alone tracking program can simply peroidcally grab the log file and do reporting based on the log files gathered from all tracked dedicated servers.

The content of the log file - deaths, score, flag capture (the flag capture is not supported by current OFP servers either), weapons used, etc (please provide your inputs here too)

Security concern - the dedicated server could be set up to allow/disallow 3rd party programs to grab the log file. user authentication can also be set up (name/password). The transport would probably use FTP, or SSH if possible (more secure).

Just some thoughts, please correct me or have your suggestions here too.
