For the past few days I’ve been experimenting with different ways of logging users on an HLDS. In the past I’ve developed AMXX plug ins to write and read to a database every time a user connected. While this worked great on servers with local databases, it proved to be problematic with most servers, which have remote databases.
My solution: Parse the server via php, getting only the information we need. This produces no lag. It would be less load than you typing status in the console. The project consists of two parts: an amxx plugin, and a php script. The script can be run via cron every x seconds, and the database will be updated live. There’s much more to do with this project. Here’s a screen shot of the output table.

I’ve also been working on a Natural Selection log parser. It’s also written in php. It parses your game log files, looking for specific events. This WILL NOT provide player statistics. This script will be used for general statistics only. The statistics will be saved to a database, so that they can be displayed on your clan or community web page.

On a side note, a friend and myself have started building our new community. We decided on the name UFIGaming. It MIGHT have reason behind the name, but who knows. Anyways, you can head on over to the website and register! http://ufigaming.net.
