Thoughts on a new Controller/Stats for CloD

[wildwillie]

All -

I've finally started to get a hang of how CloD is running and am thinking about creating a Controller/Stats program for it (Similar to FBDj for IL2).

After reviewing the ServerMaster put out by TheEnlightenedFlorist and the basic stats HTML campaign in this threadhttp://forum.1cpublishing.eu/showthread.php?t=24954 I think we have something to start with.

What I am thinking is having a separate program (Similar to ServerMaster) which would communicate to CloD through the mission script. It would also store the info in a MySQL database like FBDj does.

Since CloD does not write events out to the event log like IL2 did it would require overwriting some of the methods to gather the required information.

Some basic forms of that are in the stats campaign thread above.
Others needed would be:

A way to read/write chat messages
A way to read mission objectives

Anyhow this is a start and I'm looking for other ideas/hints which would help out.

Also I still cannot get our Warbirds Of Prey CloD server to show in the steam server list. (Have not tried HL yet as I do not think I can have 2 versions of HL running on 1 server.)
