And welcome to the first created FAQ entry on this side of the forum. Below you will find a small index page with questions and the link to a possible answer. Please note that although most questions have been formed to cover most issues, they can deviate a bit from the actual problem you as a user are experiencing. I simply ask you to take your time reading, since most issues are solved in the answer. If for any reason the question you have is not answered in the faq below, please use the forum's search function first! Threads that repeat questions already answered will be closed / moved / deleted / burned alive / send to my dog for consumption! You have been warned!! If you have an addition to the FAQ, please send me a PM with at least the question and answer. Regards, HLstatsX:CE Modteam First While this FAQ has been around for a while now, it's been written for version 1.6.10. It might work with versions below that as well, though I can't guarantee nor support it! Thanks to Rawh for the original FAQ section. |

Re: Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q: I'm getting errors with Geo::IP::PurePerl. What is it? What does it require?
Q: The users country flags do not work, I only get the default flags, why? A: HlstatsX:CE has the option of allowing country flags. It requires certain programs in order for this to work. Geo::IP::PurePerl is such a package and can be installed in a different of ways: Via linux command line (cli) To install Geo::IP::PurePerl via cli you will need to be root and type the following: Code:
perl -MCPAN -e 'install Geo::IP::PurePerl' Via CPAN Again go to a linux command line. Do the following as root: Code:
cpan With ppm on Windows. If using ActivePerl, open Perl Package Manager. Search for Geo-IP-PurePerl. Mark for Install. Run marked actions. If Geo-IP-PurePerl is not found, you may need to add a repository for it. After installing Geo::IP::PurePerl you will need to set the method you are going to use with the flags. Go to the /scripts/GeoLiteCity/ directory, and execute the file called "install_binary.sh". It might be nessecary to chmod the file to +x (execute) before you will be able to run it. This will download the GeoLiteCity.dat. Now the only thing left is to go to your stats website, login as admin, choose "HLstatsX:CE Settings", browse down to "award settings" and select "GeoIP lookup via binary file" option. Restart the daemon afterwards! |
Re: Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q: What is this GeoLiteCity.dat file and how do I get it?
A: GeoLiteCity.dat is a file that is used for Geo-ip lookups (country flags in stats). It is one of the options in the HlstatsX:CE settings tab of the website interface (after being logged in as admin). Currently HLX:CE supports looking up IP location through the GeoLiteCity.dat file or through the MySQL database. We highly recommend that you use the GeoLiteCity.dat file instead of the database as these lookups can be quite intensive. If you are on a Linux system, we have provided the necessary script to obtain the GeoLiteCity.dat file. We do not have a Windows script at this time. On a Linux system follow these steps:
You can schedule, using CRON, that script to run on a monthly or weekly basis if you wish. The script will download a new copy every time from the GeoLiteCity web site and automatically update your .dat file. On a Windows machine you must manually obtain the file and extract it as GeoLiteCity.dat. To do this:

Re: Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q: Can I host the website and gameserver on a Dynamic IP?
A: Tricky question! Yes, it might be possible and also it might not be possible. If the gameserver and stats website is on the same machine but keeps on having an other outside (read: on the internet) IP, then you can do the following:

Re: Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q: Can I import earlier created log files into the database?
Q: Is it possible to run hlstatsx:ce without realtime updating? Q: Can I ftp my files over from an other machine to import them into the database? A: Yes! To do this manually on a linux host, you would use the follow syntax From the hlstats.pl directory Code:
cat /path/to/logfiles/* | /usr/bin/perl ./hlstats.pl -s -t --norcon --server-ip YourServerIp --server-port 27015 Code:
type c:\path\to\logfiles\*.log | c:\path\to\perl.exe c:\path\to\hlstats.pl -s -t --norcon --server-ip YourServerIp --server-port 27015 |
Re: Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q: Can I disable stats / logging on specific maps?
A: Yes, most mods support this. You can delete the logaddress for hlx in a map.cfg file (where map is the name of the map you wish to disable it on) and it should stop logging to the daemon when that map is on. HL2: Code:
logaddress_del IP:PORT (or logaddress_delall) Code:
logaddress_del IP PORT |
Re: Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q: Is it possible to create my own heatmaps?
A: The original maintainer of the HLX:CE heatmaps package is no longer working on the development. No developerment has happened with the Heatmaps package, and it has stalled out. We are not officially supporting this module anymore. |
