mohaa stats

[|fury|]

C2K was asking about player stats, similar to vs-uk's for hs-1 and hs-2.

Simply put, we can't do it. vs-uk do it by setting their server to run in full debug mode, so the server logs every single little thing that goes on.

From there, vs-uk take the log and parse it for the relevant info - i.e. kills.

As you can imagine, getting the server to spend quite a large proportion of its time logging stuff means it has less time to actually serve the game, so lag becomes a major issue, and this is something we can't do on a box that isn't ours to play with.  We rent server space with other punters on the same box, and we'd be impacting on their playing experience as well as ours if it was to run in full debug.

Believe me if it was possible/feasable to do it - we'd be doing it as it's a nice addition to the experience.

Hope this answers the question c2k, if not, pop by on irc and someone will hopefully be around to explain better

It's a shame because JohnnyFind would have been in the top five!
