BF2 Stats :: Update
Filed Under BF2 Stats, Web Programming
Huge update.
- Reworked the back-end of how stats are sorted.
- Compensated for the resent change from EA/GameSpy to only allow the specific get string.
- Fixed issue with some stats not updating
I’ve reworked the main page as well, limiting it down to only showing the “Top 10″ players. In doing so, I had to add a way to see the other players stats as well. So I’ve added a new “search” feature. The search works with both Player Nick and Player ID.
In addition, with the help of Seth, I now have a working stats gatherer. A process now runs in the background on the server collecting stats from one person every 15 minutes. So basically player stats are updated every 5 hours or so. I may drop down the time requirement to every 10 or even 5 minutes, but we’ll see. For now, with the 15 minute interval player stats are updated 5 times a day with the current load of players in the database.
Since I have the background process that now updates stats automatically, I’ve disabled the feature to update on view of player stats. This is basically just to keep a consistent interval of stats being updated. No more of the “10 updates at once” nonsense. This should keep dootdoot under the radar a bit.
