    Hello,
    I've just registered on your forum so I'll just use the occasion to ask if I'm the only player having troubles with HLstatsx, cause it's really annoying when it happens. I play mostly for fun but i like to check my stats on your tf2 servers, so i'm really sick of having such a low Kills per Death ratio, as HLstatsx often counts all my deaths but not even the half of my kills. :cry:

    I don't mean it does it all the time, but i'd say it happens 1/3 of the time i'm playing on LZ. Also, it is often not working at all (counting nothing, or just 1 action every 10 mins for example ^^' ), even when the server is full or when there are LZ.war players, etc.

    So, I just wondered if this is normal, if I'm the only victim of this horrible gaming tragedy :( , and if there is any way to fix this. Thanks ! ;)

    Strange, are you positive it's your kill and not an assist?
    I don't have this problem though.

    Hey, thanks for replying =)

    No, I'm pretty sure I'm not confusing the actions, HLstatsx just don't see some of them. So this is really a problem, not a general bug ? :?

    I'll try to get you a screenshot next time it happens.

    Never heard of this, although this could be why I suck so much! Or not.

    Lets see if the top cats reply :) They may have a good answer

    Next time you play use the "rank" command in chat. It should give you a window in wich you can see your total and current session. Your current session should, if you only played the round you are playing atm, be the same as your scoreboard.

    If not, you have a problem.
    If it's the same, you just think you are better then you actually are ;)

    Don't forget it doesn't count humiliation round kills and deaths.

    What do you mean ?
    Anyways I don't think that's the problem, it happens really randomly, and it can work and then stop working in the middle of a round, or don't work and then start in the middle of a round too.

    Thanks for the tip i'll try it =)

    Kills and death you make after you won / lost, crit time, humiliation time, helpless time however you want to call it.
    And if it is working randomly that means the points won't be correct after like 25 minutes of maptime and you will notice a difference.

    Not sure if I it's the same issue, but sometimes it seems that the stats are 'down' for some minutes. During this time kills an deaths aren't registered at all, or atleast there is no message in the chat about it.

    This. I made 2 pyro tauntkills yesterday and only one has been counted in my stats. Sometimes the "kpd" etc commands doesn't work either for a couple minutes, I guess that's when the stats are down. :?

    Pim de Pinguin > okay, i didn't know that, as I get points even during these moments :|

    Yes, it's the same problem plus it happens on very short times and doesn't count 1 or more kill(s), death(s) or whatever: the most annoying part is that it's mostly happening for my kills. =/ if it was just not taking count of my deaths, i'm not sure i would complain here... =p
    Okay so i guess these moments are quite "normal" ; thanks.

    Well, yes, its a bugs with hlstats.
    Its randomly fall down, so stats don't count for some time, then it enable again.

    What I know of the stats being "down" is that the deamon for receiving the stats from the server just dies, and then it has to start up again. This takes some time and all in between is "lost". Problem is not at LZ for that, but at the stats-provider.

    I notice this shit everytime everywhere cos I use the: hlx_display 0 and hlx_chat 0 commands (disabling all stat messages) When this happens, I get the stat messages again. (when it dies, it forgets my "settings" that I dont want to see them).

    As this often happens when its quite BUSY, my guess is that the Daemon of the stats provider has too much to deal with and just "gives up".

    The stats are "best effort" at most.

    Since we are our own stats provider (HLstatsX:CE)......

    It indeed sounds like the server (database) can't handle it. Best person to look into this is Snelvuur since he setted it up.

    Hmm, i didn't see this before myself. It indeed looks like the deamon is restarting at some point then. I will have a clooser look at this and otherwise report a bug report to the makers.

    After all we do have a HUGE database running for this, which is not the typical setup.

    Hi everybody and thanks for answering.
    As long as everyone is concerned, there's no problem (for me) when the whole system is down, but what about the short cuts i'm experiencing ? =/
    (Anyways i think i'll wait a little before whining again, because yesterday it worked perfectly ^^ )

    I've update the master server to the latest repository. There was also the update for the engy which needed to go in hlstats too.

    We only need to update superlogs/sourcemod plugins on all the servers. (this is a time consuming thingy but should be done at some point)

    Well, today it happened again so here are some screenshots :
    Here, we can see i assist-destroyed 2 sentries (i also killed an engi just before the sentries got destroyed simultaneously) and only 1 destruction is counted, not the kill :http://antou.kelio.org/Public/pl_badwater0006.jpg
    In this action i got killed right after having killed a sniper, and only my death was counted (T_T):http://antou.kelio.org/Public/pl_badwater0008.jpg
    at least, something good for me as the death was not counted :badgrin: : http://antou.kelio.org/Public/pl_badwater0009.jpg
    On another session, first map i played : my stats according to hlstats (http://antou.kelio.org/Public/plr_hightower0001.jpg) and my actual stats (http://antou.kelio.org/Public/plr_hightower0002.jpg) =/

    Ok after some digging, i do actually managed to fix those missing pictures in the awards section. those should now be good to go again. I also know what caused it so i can avoid it in the future.

    As for this other issue you are referring too, on which server was this? all maps 1 or 2 or another one? i want to "home in" on the suspect server :)

    Thanks for the first fix =) It was not me asking, someone did it on his presentation post.

    I think it was on the #2, maybe it happens on the others, i didn't pay attention TBH =P good luck fixing this and thanks ! :D
