Scoreboard

[Hurtz]

Anyone else notice that the scoreboard / kill count seems to be bugged lately. I'm not a stat whore but it would be nice if it was working. It used to work properly. I'm playing a game now and i've been killed several times but no one on opfor has any kills registered.

The kill count is indeed laggy most of the time, it sometimes takes 15 minute or maybe more to update the kill count. Others types or scoring usually update instantly but lag sometimes as well.

Imo laggy kill count is not so bad after all - it makes you actualy do something not just be K/D bitch. I would be fine only with work points on scoreboard.

What sucks is that there is a guy named Spyder that made an IN depth stat tracker for PR and was even a contributer for the team, but they decided not to use his work, even though he volunteered it to the team. It even exported the stats to a web site. you can check it out, he has it working for the Valhalla missions run on the DAO server.

ARMA LIVE STATISTICS - Live in-game battle statistics tracking for ArmA 2 OA


I would have LOVED to see this is PR, it kept track of EVERYTHING and I mean EVERYTHING. even up to your accuracy with each weapon, and vehicle. Problem is now he is Deployed to Afghanistan. But he keeps in contact via skype. He told me he is even still coding it making it better. I never understood why they turned him down when it is almost completely plug and play.

Heck this would even help combat some of the new Aimbots that have arrived on the ARMA scene.

No, he didn't. He made an in-depth tracker for Arma 2. I'll get to what huge difference that makes further down.

He still is.

That is not fully correct. We agreed to not use it until we can add support for stats we consider fundamental - teamwork statistics.

As I said, it didn't keep track of teamwork scores yet.

That is indeed the big problem.

Almost being the important modifier.


So to sum it all up:
[R-CON]Spyder8932's system will be eventually implemented. The fact that he is currently deployed to Afghanistan and that we have other important areas to focus on makes it unfortunately a low priority at the moment.

In addition Hooves, you are still expected to honour the PR team GEA. Criticising the team is bad enough (even though clearly you're mistaken in your comments). But discussing internal team stuff is not acceptable.

Please, just calm yourself down.

[Hooves]

I am calm. Im not sure what you are eluding to. Where did I discuss internal team stuff?

I know exactly what Im talking about in my comments. As I assisted in its development. He is not unreachable, in fact we have conversations on a regular basis.

Where did I critisize the team? I just said it sucks that its not in there, as it was offered and not used (yet). I think your being a little sensitive TBH. You guys did great work for the release, no doubt, I was simply commenting on the scoreboard aspect of the game.

And Ill clarify, he made a tracker for ARMA2 that was looking for a home, hence it was offered to PR. No, it was not specifically made for PR, but its needs helped us shape its development.

Im glad you are still considering its use, though as a member of the PR stats team I haven't heard one word about that. So you'll have to excuse my surprise.
