[bf1942] BF2 Event Logging

[Andrew Von Niederhausern]

I would love for someone to have a central stats DB and distribute the
Py script for it..

 

Basically forming a NetStats for BF2..

I like that idea--all my stuff is uses MySQL, and, absolutely right, it
would be way cool to see the stats in real time.  On the other hand, a
Python thingy that generated XML log files would have the benefit of
working more or less as-is with all the existing stats systems.

Hmmm. . . cool or compatible. . . I think I like your idea, better!

Heck, can we write a python -> sql connector!? If so, no more parser and
LIVE stats updates! The php end of it is easy if we can get the game
feeding events into an sql database. Maybe even have it funnel all the
logs to one sql db then parse that db for the data we want, still need a
parser but might be easier to manage..Hmmm..

I asked shiny about supporting bf2 with selectbf and he just avoided the
question, then failed to respond at all. I'm more interested in writing
my own from the ground up than working with that pile of patches. A
_LOT_ of work would be needed to be done to selectbf to bring it to the
point where it can handle bf2's features fully, and well, I just don't
see it worthwhile in it's current state. I've pulled it apart complete
including the parser to change things here and there, and we can do this
so much faster by dropping that crap java parser and moving on I'd say.

Ugh.  Looking through some of the Python stuff, I saw the "hooks" that
could be used to do this, so you're right, it can be done. . . I was
kind of hoping BF2 would start out with the same XML log files that BFV
introduced, though, and then left it to the "community" to take it
further.

I guess I'll give some thought to what it would take to implement
BFV-style XML logs.  Again, ugh.

I believe there is no default logging.
It is something that you have to hook into with python to come up with
an actual log file. EA left it for the community to implement... I'm
hoping that someone (heheh) will fix it up so the log files are close to
the old log format and then we can fix up selectbf easily to do it, but
it might make sense to do something else.

Has anyone figured out how to turn on event logging in the BF2 demo
server? I've tried several obvious things (like sv.serverEventLogging
1), with no joy.
