Killmsgs idea

Valued Member!
I now have the kill messages working on my dayz.st server and really think one thing should be added....

A kill log written into the DB of simply ATTACKER / KILLED / WEAPON / DISTANCE / TIMESTAMP so that information can be parsed easier.

Thanks for considering this.
 
I wanted to get the distance\attacker\killed figures into my database too, so I could show them on on my server stats.

I figured the easiest way is to just modify the code that outputs the message to the server to output to the .rpt log and/or the server chat. Then I'm just going to code something to run locally on my server and parse the .rpt file for new entries and add them to the db for me.

Might share the program depending on how polished it ends up...
 
I know that BMRF logs player history directly to the database, so this is definitely possible to do directly as similar.

I have more stats than BMRF on my forum profiles already but I don't see any stats listed there that aren't already in the database?
 
Hi there Excelsior, I'm a fan of your Wiki. If you ever have the time, I would love to know how you got the kill messages working.
Thanks again for all the info you share.
 
Kill messages will work on dayz.st, but the code for calling them is completely missing from the default PBO that they have built. It simply needs to be inserted manually again. I have PMed you and we can add this when we reach each other.
