Short Description
SNStat is a stats system that consists of two parts.
1. Server plugin - Manage connecting clients and sends gameplay information to them.
2. Client software - Connects to a server, gathers information and displays that in a GUI.
The purpose of this stats system is to give players a view of their gameplay without any insight from others and hopefully help players to get better.

Install Server
1. Download Server
2. Unzip to cstrike/addons
3. Restart CSS Server

Install Client
1. Download Client
2. Unzip & Install
3. Start SNS Client
4. Right-click on tray icon and choose Settings
5. Choose New in Profile Menu
6. Add profile name, your steamID and a logfile directory (where the logs should be stored)
7. Write a CSS server ip (do NOT include port) and press Add button
8. Close Settings
9. Right-click on tray icon, choose Connect, your profilename and the server ip.
10. If the server is running the SNS server plugin your red trayicon will now turn green.
11. Start CSS, join the server. Your stats will now be logged.

Technical - good to know
Server and Client are starting the communication on port 12345 (Might change in the future)
The system is not tested on "strange" customs maps (non de_ cs_)
The Client is disconnected after 10 minutes if the player has not connected to the game server.
.Net is required to run the Client (in my effort to get to know C# a bit better)

Convars
None at this time. This might be added in a later release to help server admins tweak the plugin. (Connection timeout, number of connections etc)

SNS Client v0.4

What the future might hold
1. Linux version of the server plugin
2. More features in the client and a in game menu to start/stop logging
3. A stats-server solution that will enable a global storage of statistics accessible by webpages (like Psycostats)
4. Support for other HL2 mods (Deathmatch, Day of Defeat etc)
5. Client is started from within Steam if server supports SNS

Enjoy and happy hunting!

Looks real great, but i think the most players dont want to install a clientsoftware.

And will there be a linux support ?`

Thats true, but this is only for the players that are really interested in how they play and how they can improve. Downloading a client takes little effort but im sure that it is worth it. You can browse your stats offline and analyze hitzones and weapons. You get one statsfile for each map played.

We all know the players that constantly watch their ingame stats or rank and are not late to curse the others for "not helping" or tell the others that they performance today is lousy due to lag or whatever.
Personally I hate those players and want to find other means of getting stats without boost that behaviour.

A linux version is planed but to tell the truth, it hasnt gone very far beyond that. I personally have very limited knowledge about the Linux enviroment so I have to look for help. All code in the server is portable without that much work, of that Im sure. Compiling, thats another matter

If you want to test the client we have a server running @ ducknet.se:27016

Aslo give them an extention not just SNstat. If it was .zip it would help some people

what does the server actualy communicate with the client?

[-string-]

The server sends gamedata to the client and the events are as follows:

weapon_fire
weapon_fire_on_empty
player_hurt
player_death
round_start
round_end
player_team
player_spawn
player_blind
bomb_pickup
bomb_dropped
bomb_beginplant
bomb_abortplant
bomb_planted
bomb_begindefuse
bomb_abortdefuse
bomb_defused
bomb_exploded
hostage_follows
hostage_rescued
hostage_stops_following
hostage_hurt
hostage_killed
player_activate
player_disconnect

These events are sent via a buffer system that is in place to decrease the risk of lag. So this data will not reach the client when the events occur, in a worst case scenario it could take up to 5-10 seconds during heavy load.
On top of that the client is not writting the data to a logfile until the map ends.
So any notion you got that this could be used as a cheat can be discarded

Edit: Oh, and its a one way communication. The client isnt sending anything back to the server.

A new version is out.
