Welcome at bzstats.strayer.de!
This is the first version of BZstats. After a relative successful test of the preceding proof of concept, this web page is primarily designed to
find BZFlag servers and players on the Internet without using the BZFlag client.Beside the implementation of the most active leagues you can also find some other information here, like common BZFlag related stuff and statistics for servers and players. Those will become much more during the next time. All used data sources for this web page are publicly-available and automatically kept up-to-date. There's no direct connection between this web page and the project of the game BZFlag. So notices and suggestions for improvements are very welcome but (finally) I'll be the one who decides if they will be realized or not. For further information about the BZstats or the use of the web page, have a look into the FAQs. If this isn't helpful or detailed enough you can send me an email. Have fun... ;o) Common statistics

Well, a whole lot has happened the last days. Unfortunately, all of that has been maintenance work. So you won't notice anything. :D
Let's summarize: > 1vs1 League Tournament für 2024 (20th Anniversary!) endet and it's BZstats integration has been built back. > The FAQ section has been updated. > The BZinfo section contains a lot of general information. The data gathering backend scripts had been disfunctional for serveral years and got an update to deliver up-to-date information again. > Similar to the BZinfo scripts, the script that updates GeoIP data (that allow to map a server to a country) didn't work until a few days ago. To be true, the maintenance work wouldn't had happen if Bertman wouldn't have noticed that the GeoIP data were no longer correct and if he wouldn't have talked with Kierra about that who sent me a message. Thank you for the motivation. ;o)

Serious bug-fix!
Thanks to alfa1 who found data inconsistencies between the server list and server detail information I was able to fix a serious bug which affected player information on Rabbit Chase servers since several years. Unfortunately, the bug has influence on the historic BZstats data records and I am not really willing to rebuild all data sets since 2012. Well, I still have the raw data (around 110 GByte of query data - and further 72GB for the years back to 2006) since I always planned to rebuild BZstats from scratch...which obviously never happened. However, you may excuse the gap of some missing Rabbit Chase server player data entries. However, THANK YOU ALL who helped me keeping BZstats alive! Within the last years I got several bug reports as well as information about technical changes in advance to prepare my query scripts. This all helps and helped quite a lot. View all news... |
