Questions on COD4 logfiles and player stats

[StevieG]

Just upgraded our clan server from CODUO to COD4. We have a custom player stats app to parse the log files and publish stats for clan members. One of the things we were able to get out of the UO logfiles was all CTF actions such as captures, takes, assists, etc.. Is there any way to get anything like this in the COD4 logfile? I checked for Headquarters and Domination gametypes and none of the actions (HQ captures and destroys, Domination point captures) were recorded in the logfile. Just wondering if there might be a cvar (similar to sv_log_damage to turn on logging of damage and kills) to turn this on, or if it's just not available at all.

Also - are the GUIDs recorded in the logfile unique to a copy of the game (like they were in UO)? We use this in our stats database to keep track of a particular player regardless of name changes.

And one more ting - Any other advice on special features or peculiarities of COD4 logfiles? I have limited sample data to play with so far, but am looking forward to tweaking our UO stats app for COD4.

Thanks!

Any news about that?

I'm running a server and I would like to have a stats page on my clan site.
Is this possible?

Something like a "killboard" were I can see some online stats of the server.

thanks a lot to your atention.

Saw this information on another forum, reposting here:

It appears that CoD4 1.4 still has some issues with it's games_mp.log:

Weapon switches have unnecessary multiple sequential entries.
The weapon entries appear erroneous.
Team information (allies/axis) is missing from K (Kill) entries. Makes it impossible to identify teamkills.
No W (Win) or L (Loss) entries are generated at the end of a match like in CoD2.
No actions such as flag captures or radio captures are logged.

Also would be nice to capture player scores in the logfile, since score points in the game are awarded for many actions aside from kills.

Does IW respond to these kinds of bug fix requests? I'm afraid that anything not directly related to gameplay will sit on the back burner and never get fixed. How do we bring these issues to IW's attention?

Also - would it be possible to fix these sorts of issue with a server-side mod?

Hi all,

Any update on this? I am trying to get statsgen to work and am having problems with my log files as well.

Your only hope, AFAIK is running a mod that does log those actions.
My mod will log the objectives, but i might have left out the win/loss info. Have to check on that.
