Hi guys,

I noticed that games played on Mach3 are not counted into leaderboard. Many newbies complain that they can't get higher rank.

Is anyone working on this issue?
(I understand that there are more critical things to do here but I'd only like to know if this issue is 'known')

Thank you very much ;) :iluv:

TAG is running correctly, I don't see any problems in logs.

it is likely the games aren't counted as they're too small :\
I decided to relive the days gone by in my new blog.

False.

I had about two 20-25m games yesterday on Mach3, each about 12-15 vs 12-15 players getting approx 15kills + 3 drone kills a pop. Games showed as posting in the lobby.

Shows me as only playing one game all month, which was pretty much on the 1st of the month. I've been playing games on Planet as well. Probably should have somewhere around the neighbourhood of like 8 hours logged so far this month but only 1.27 hrs show.

Dorjan:

I know all conditions for successfully considering game as to be counted. All conditions was ok. Games was not small.

Planet2 - OK (each properly played game counted)
Mach3 - not OK (never counted)

I don't understand internal process of counting and server logging, storing information etc.
I only noticed this issue since I started play Alleg.

Having a time when games didn't count would be helpful.

Edit:
If you see HQ (all): servername's game has completed. Game#: 123456 message, game data was successfully hand over to stats database. You don't see such a message, TAG maybe not running correctly.

To test if TAG is running on server, just type: admin:#version and TAG will tell you it's version number. You'll know if TAG is running on server or not (if it doesn't answer).

response on MACH3: TAG v2.0.15.10 online

I tried it right now.
Everything should be ok.

Only suggestion - data can be stored successfully but what if data is not properly process or not properly showed in leaderboard?

pkk I want NOT to spend your time but it's true that after MACH3 game there is no change in http://leaderboard.alleg.net/. Not in 5 minutes, not in 2 days. Never change, nothing counted. Game on Planet2 - immediately changed tables in leaderboard.

Give pkk some specific examples of games which haven;t counted.

To count they must be
1) At least 5 v 5 for the majority of their length.
2) They must have lasted longer than 5 minutes.


Please supply him with the time(s) of the game(s) on mach which you believe should have counted but didn't.

Then he can investigate thoroughly. It's the easiest way to get to the bottom of the issues as it would be unfair to ask him to trawl lists of server logs.

You needn't tell me that.
I was ONLY wondering if anyone is interested in this issue. I found out pkk thought that everything is ok.

That was my goal. Now I can write down some specific game time, game id, make additional observation and provite detailed info to pkk.
As I wrote above - games was really considered to be counted ;)
