This would be a really good from a statistically point of view. If we log the following information a player connect:

• cl_connectmethod
• Server IP
• Player Name
• Steam_ID

We can create some interesting statistics about our players.

% of players connecting from, history, direct connect, favorites, quickplay on a per server basis or global basis to see your client population.

Meanwhile, does anybody know the easiest way to get that cl_connectmethod string to simply be logged?

PHP Code:

public OnClientConnected(client) {
    decl String:method[64];
    GetClientInfo(client, "cl_connectmethod", method, sizeof(method));
    LogMessage("%L connected via '%s'", client, method);
} 


The analytics plugin that I'll be releasing soon-ish gives you this data for each connection:

• Server IP
• Player name
• Player Steam ID
• Time they connected
• Date they connected
• Method by which they connected
• Number of players in-game when they connected
• Map the server was on when they connected
• How long they were conneccted
• Their admin flags
• Player IP
• (With GeoIPCity) City, Region, Country Code, Country Code3
• Player's Country
• (With SteamTools in TF2) F2P/Premium status
• Whether or not they have HTML MOTDs disabled
