Introduction

With the AMXX BenchmarkTool you can benchmark Half-Life 1 Server. It is
meant for root server admins. It can read FPS, CPU-Load and System-Load. It
displays diagrams with Google Chart API.
You need AMXX and at your choice PodBot.

Updates

• You can use the plugin every HL1 Server.
• result.html shows CPU-model and Game/Mod, now.
• Plugin uses cvar pointer.
• The screenshot section on my website has been updated

Notes

• The plugin updates the config automaticly.
  The backup file is benchmark.cfg_bak.
• For further changes see ChangeLog.

Facts

1. Name:
   • AMXX BenchmarkTool
2. Version:
   • BETA 0817
3. Operating System:
   • Linux / Windows limited
4. License:
   • GPL v2

Installation

1. Download the plugin and save it to your AMXX plugins dir.
2. Register it in your plugins.ini.
3. Reload the map, so the plugin can generate addons/amxmodx/configs/
   benchmark.cfg.

Usage

1. Basically

• The BenchmarkTool uses this data dirs addons/amxmodx/data/benchmarktool/.
  Here you can find log-files and the result.html. Open the HTML file
  with w3m or an other console based browser with image support.
• The minimum runtime is 300 Seconds, the maximum is 1200 Seconds
  [5min-20min].
  With a full benchmark [1200sec] you can use bench_chartall "1". Now,
  you get four charts with 1200 data points. Because of the character
  limitation, you can only display 300 points per chart. See: Google
  Chart FAQ.
• With bench_minchart and bench_maxchart you can 'zoom' into the chart.
  E.g. you have a log-file with 600 Seconds, but the chart shows only
  each second value. Use bench_minchart and bench_maxchart to get first
  300 end last 300 Seconds.

2. Server Commands

• bench_start
  Starts the benchmark. Runtime 1200sec/20min.
• bench_stop
  Stops the benchmark before runtime end.
• bench_chart
  Generates the Chart with Google Chart.

3. Script internal Options

• bench_verbose "1"
  ☆ Prints status to Server-Console.
• bench_onscreen "1"
  ☆ Prints status to HUD.
• bench_withbots "0"
  ☆ Benchmarks with Bots [PodBot not included]
• bench_minchart "0"
  ☆ Temporal initial value for the graph on x-axis.
• bench_maxchart "1200"
  ☆ Temporal final value for the graph on the x axis.
• bench_time "1200"
  ☆ Benchmark runtime.
• bench_chartall "1"
  ☆ Displays 4 Charts. Can only be used with a runtime of 1200 sec. [See Screensshots]
  
• bench_path "/path/to/amxx/"
  ☆ The absolute path to the AMXX dir.
  Importan: Without this parameter, the plugin can not find the way
  to /proc. Without this dir, set bench_systemfiles "0".
• bench_systemfiles "1"
  ☆ Should we use systemfiles?
  Runs on Linux Servers only. You must have a Shell.
• bench_pidile ""
  ☆ Name of the PID-Files. E.g. -pidfile my_pidfile
  set bench_logfile "my_pidfile".
• bench_logfile ""
  ☆ Set Logfile to generate a chart for an older benchmark. Normally
  you do not need this.

Notes

1. Generally

• It is a BETA, so not all data goes to the chart. Look at the
  Screenshots to see what is in.
• For full usage you need a Linux root server with a shell. Else the tool
  shows the FPS only. FTP/Windows Server should set bench_systemfiles "0".

2. Bugs

• Bots: Sometimes you have to start/stop your benchmark twice, so that
  the Bots are joining/dropping your server.
• result.html: At present all results are written into this file.
• result.html: Analysis of System/Server data is not possible with older
  log-files.

Holy hell, this is nice!

+karma for sure.

[Arkshine]

Maybe should you include httpdl ?

[Ir0n1E]

I tried that, but teh Google Chart URL is to long.
I modified it a little bit, but it won't work.

Maybe someone else can hack httpdl.
In each case it is the better solution to get the images.
So I could display the result.html in motd.

[Arkshine]

I mean, you write : #include <httpdl>

But this include is not attached here. People won't be able to compile the plugin.

[Ir0n1E]

That is not the Problem.
Here this is a normal chart URL with 300 data sets.
http://tinyurl.com/a9ngxz
Try to download it with httpdl
Maybe it's only a buffer Problem

[BOYSplayCS]

Either upload the httpdl.inc to the main post or take out #include <httpdl> in your code - or this plugin will not compile, as stated above. Without a compatible plugin, this could be visiting the Trash Bin soon.

[Ir0n1E]

I don't see the problem...
includes are now

#include <amxmodx>
#include <fakemeta>
#include <amxmisc>
#include <cstrike>
#include <file>

The website copiler says that

#include <file>?

[Arkshine]

It compiles fine locally. Don't know why the web compiler fails...Well, it's not the first time that it's messed up a lot.
