[ Converted text/html to text/plain ] Hello everyone! I want to report a serious issue with the logging capabilities of CS:Source. This bug exists since the BETA, I reported it many times but it never got fixed. Now as there are coming more and more LOG Parsers out I guess its time to do something against this bug. I copy the description of this bug from the Forum Post I posted some days ago:
Original post: http://www.steampowered.com/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=162488[1] ---------------------- Hello ! Many of you dont know it... but many people are already beginning with some kind of stats logging. I just wanted to inform you, that the current state of the cs:s dedicated server version does not allow accurate log parsing ala PsychoStats, HLStats...! The Log Output of CS:S sometimes misses connect lines as well as entered the game lines. Well this wouldnt be much of a problem if there were not the problem that sometimes KILLS get logged as suicides! (Log_level 15 does not help!) I got log files even from servers all over the world and tried it (I guess this were all windows servers) and I could verify the missing log lines. You can also track when this happens. Just open the Server in VGUI mode and look at the Players TAB -> You will see that sometimes players are playing on the server but not showing up in this tab! Exactly when this happens -> Everyone who kills a player not in this players list get logged as being suicided! I tested it with standard configs, log_levels, console mode, VGUI mode, I got logs from different servers -> everywhere the same problem! We really have to push this to valve so they will know it. I reported this problem since the BETA but it always got ignored! Kind regards and plz help us fix this, LD ---------------------- The main problem with this bug is, that it gets ignored by most of the people(thats why it gets rarely reported) -> I brought this up on many forums but many people said no everything works fine, because it doesnt happen all the time and not everyone is so nit-picking as me. But when I told them they should believe me if they dont they should give me me their log files and homepages so I can give them some evidence -> I checked it for them and now they believe me too. Missing kills, kills reported as suicides etc. <- that are just the problems I can identify... In the forum post above I already described when exactly the problem appears... So I really hope VALVe can fix those issue otherwise we will never be able to do accurate stats logging. I guess its just one bug which causes this behavriour, but we need to track it down and find it... Thanks for listeningl, LD ===References:=== 1. http://www.steampowered.com/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=162488 _______________________________________________ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlds
