art567 / bf2-stats Goto Github PK

The goal of this project is to output and subsequently parse log files for the game Battlefield 2 and generate a wide range of statistical web pages that describe the performance of each player.

The focus will be on creating a modern and polished user experience that provides interesting and entertaining information to players of the game. It will support a real-time mode for use during LAN party events, as well as a comprehensive static mode for post-game viewing. It will also include a custom game mod that will make it possible to extract additional statistics not available in the standard game. There is no interest at this time in supporting other games.

• Copy the modded game files in the folder bf2-server into the corresponding directory structure of the BF2 server installation. Currently, the modifications consist of only two files. The existing __init__.py file was modified just to include a new custom file. The logger.py is a new custom file that listens to various standard game events and writes out log entries to an external file.

• Make sure the new code has permission to write log files. By default, it attempts to write the log files to a sub-folder of the currently executing game mod. Typically the standard game mod will be used, so the logs folder should be created at mods/bf2/logs. If the server was installed in a restricted folder like Program Files under Windows, then you should go ahead and grant your user account full permission to the new logs folder.

• If everything is setup correctly, then upon running the dedicated server you should see a new file written to the logs folder created above.

• Make sure Python 2.7.x is installed and the Cherrypy web server package is installed.

• Download and extract map tiles for each game map to the webapp/www/tiles directory.

• Set the location of your game log file using the webapp/application.conf configuration file.

• Run the webapp/application.py file to start the web application.
