Ok, I had the idea of putting together a small HL2 stats tracking program using either PHP CLI or Flash.

It'd work like this. At the end of each round (HL2 deathmatch for now) you'd copy and paste the contents of your console to the programs input box, and your username in another box.

Now the program will search through all the text for matches to your username, and will use matches to find kills and deaths, and designate kills by what weapon.

The program tallies everything together in a text file, and when you're ready to view everything, you press a button and the program can either output an html file, or just show you your stats straight from itself (i'll prolly settle on HTML cause it's easier :P).

--------------------------------------

OK! The text above you is just me brainstorming. I haven't drawn up an actual model yet so this is still in an early "thinking" stage.

Just wondering if there's any interest in my idea, and if any of you have any ideas you'd like to contribute (ideas as in "oh I think maybe if you codded X this way, it might be easier". Not like "OMFG I WANT U 2 ADD T2H WHER U SHOTT THEM")
 
I kind of mis-read your post a little bit. I thought this would be something that people would run and it would be uploaded to a web server and then they could check. But, now I realise that this would be a nice thing to have, to keep track of your stats.

To be honest, I just don't think this would appeal to anyone. There are already worldwide stats ranking. For instance www.csports.net and here is your stats (if you use the name sinkoman) http://www.csports.net/(xnhodn45aya...tats.aspx?Matrix=73&NameID=197248046&Mod=3218

And, it could be faked. Like someone could enter false stats and stuff.

But, it would be a good idea for personal stat keeping.

Well see, that's the idea. It's just for personal and accurate stats keeping. There would be no way of uploading your stats and checking your rank. It's just to see how many kills you have, what weapons you have the most kills with, what guns you're been killed by, how many deaths you have, that sort of thing.

And I find those worldwide stats keepers so innacurate, because you have to be playing on a server that either A) has the client installed or B) is recognized by the client.

See how it says the first time I played was the 6th? Bullshit. I played HL2 DM from release day.
 
Well, then it would be a good idea for personal stat keeping. It would be nice to just copy and paste your console logs in and it automatically searches, grabs, caculates and spits out the data. I would actually like to use that.
 
Ok then!

Guess i'm off to draw myself up a model, reinstall Flash, relearn the syntax, and then i'm off!

Hopefully the upset lawyer can comment on this :E
