hey, is there a plugin that count all players active time time spent on multiple servers that preferably log the time into a database. If not, is there anyone who would wanna take this challenge on?
A separate time log for the activity on each server for all players and a total time active on all servers for all players would be amazing.

So it would look like this (each row for a collumn in the db)

k0nan
(SteamID)
Total time: 242h 23m
Hide'n'Seek: 142h 10m
Surf: 50h 13m
Aim: 50h

Paid? Volunteer? Helps to specify.

I dont know of any such plugin, but it wouldnt be all to hard to code one. One downside to it: sometimes players can disconnect and the OnClientPostAdminCheck event wont have fired. So, while this is usually not the case, occasionally it will not have a start time to compute the play time with. I have a plugin that logs this sort of stuff, but to FTP logs for each steam ID, not to a database. Also, do you need it to differentiate between time in spec vs time on teams? I feel that can make the values far more meaningful.

I have not seen this posted here, but it should be done with mysql, not some silly flatfile implementstion.
Easy to write.

It is part of another plugin, so the flatfile made sense for it...dont talk shit til you know context...smh

As for the OP request, mysql is the only way I would suggest doing it (I dont think that was in question but wanted to clear up that I wasnt suggesting otherwise).

Still fail, as the average popular server could get tens of thousands of unique visitors over a month, which is a lot of needless files. The context does not matter. Flatfile approach like this is beyond bad when much better alternatives are easily available.

Also, you dont need postadmincheck, onclientauthorized is the proper callback and happens much earlier.

Don't act like you know what you are doing and be insulting to others when you clearly know very little.

Your really eating your own words kiddo.

The plugin I mentioned involves admin checks, so OnClientPostAdminCheck IS required.
From clients.inc:

Spoiler

/**
* Called when a client receives an auth ID. The state of a client's
* authorization as an admin is not guaranteed here. Use
* OnClientPostAdminCheck() if you need a client's admin status.
*
* This is called by bots, but the ID will be "BOT".
*
* @param client Client index.
* @param auth Client Steam2 id, if available, else engine auth id.
* @noreturn
*/
forward void OnClientAuthorized(client, const String:auth[]);

The plugin is namely logging admin actions, but includes play time, so mysql would be a terrible platform for such a plugin.

And the number of users is limited to the server admins, so it isnt thousands of unique visitors.

Try not to be so ignorant and rude next time...grow up a bit.

EDIT: Anyways...back on topic....I've coded the plugin, it compiles great, but it still needs testing. Right now, it separates the time into an SQL table column for both play time and another column for spectate time, and auto-appends two new columns every time a new server runs the plugin. I'm off to bed, but will test it tomorrow.

I don't really follow all your advance talking XD
But I do however want the logging to be done with a MySQL database so I can output the data on my community.
Also, How's it going 'ThatOneGuy'? Have you got it to work?

No, they don't. Think about it, what exactly will that render when formatted? sm_ptt_add "";quit;""

Ok.

PHP Code:

#include <sourcemod>
public OnClientPutInServer(client){ ServerCommand("sm_ptt_add #%d", GetClientUserId(client)); }
