Checking Game Status And Player Status...

<div class="IPBDescription">How do you know when gameover, etc...</div> I was wondering if someone could direct me on how to tell what state the game is in (Gameover, who wins etc) and what state a player is in (Dead, Rein, alive).

I'm trying out some scripting features to get used to adminmod and scripting for mods in general.

I'm new to the scripting and coding so I'm wondering if someone has a compiled list of events or there is a guide on how to check the status of all settings in the game (what weapon user has, health, equipment(HA, JP,etc), upgrades done in game(weapons, armour), turret health, turret fact upgraded?, etc...)

Basically looking for ALL game events and settings. Any help would be appreciated.

Even if there is no list, can someone tell me how I can determine them manually?

Thanks in advance,

Matt

    afaik you cannot know if a player is in Rein
    just dead/alive
    here are some logs:
    L 01/25/2003 - 18:59:44: Team 1 has lost.
    L 01/25/2003 - 18:59:44: Team "1" scored "0" with "2" players
    L 01/25/2003 - 18:59:44: Team "2" scored "0" with "3" players
    L 01/25/2003 - 18:59:44: (map_name "ns_eclipse") (game_version "v1.04") (game_time "246.176163") (victory_team "alien") (losing_team "marine") (winning_teamsize "3") (losing_teamsize "2")
    ^ this shows who won/lost
    L 01/25/2003 - 18:59:48: "Tw|kishu<27><XXXX><alien1team>" triggered "structure_destroyed" (type "team_armory")
    L 01/25/2003 - 18:59:30: "BL0cI< M@$TeR<8><XXX><marine1team>" triggered "structure_built" (type "team_armory")
    L 01/25/2003 - 19:33:16: "Me-|DeathWish<45><XXX><marine1team>" triggered "research_start" (type "research_advarmory")
    hope it helps you...

    Ya, that's a start. Thanks.

    Is that just a log from your server running? Will the server show all events? and give the codes?

    If anyone can add to this or give me more clear directions on the best way to check when a game has ended and who the losing team and winning team are it would be appreciated.

    How do you check what these variables are?:
    <!--QuoteBegin--></span><table border='0' align='center' width='95%' cellpadding='3' cellspacing='1'><tr><td><b>QUOTE</b> </td></tr><tr><td id='QUOTE'><!--QuoteEBegin-->L 01/25/2003 - 18:59:44: (map_name "ns_eclipse") (game_version "v1.04") (game_time "246.176163") (victory_team "alien") (losing_team "marine") (winning_teamsize "3") (losing_teamsize "2")
    ^ this shows who won/lost
    <!--QuoteEnd--></td></tr></table><span class='postcolor'><!--QuoteEEnd-->
    are they server variables, are they somekind of command sent, or what? how do I check them...?

    - Matt

    PS. Looking for the coding/scripting side of how to check these...

    So your saying, in order to get this info, I'm going to have to rip some info from the log files?

    Is there any other way, there must be... because coding that could get nasty

    Any suggestions on alternatives?

    PS. Also, I was wondering what has to be enabled to see this info? just log on? (for 1.04 that is)

    just make a client that will get the logs(logaddress command) and the program will translate that..
    like HLSW,CS/NSBot(my prog) works..
    you just need log on

    Can you show me some examples in your code? I'm really new @ this and that's why so many questions... Any help getting me started would be appreciated.

    Thanks,

    I suggest talking with [WHO]Them or VooGru since they have been writing a lot of MetaMod plugins. Also, there is a program that works with MetaMod which can parse logging events called LogD available from: <a href='http://logd.sourceforge.net/' target='_blank'>http://logd.sourceforge.net/</a>

    sorry but my coding is private...
    logd takes a lot of cpu(i had it on my server)
    golex, <a href='http://www.csbot.org' target='_blank'>http://www.csbot.org</a>
    but if you will want to run it for NS(and irc aswell) i suggest you wait for our next beta since it will fix many bugs i have found in my irc output
