Tony, I don't know how Ooks did his but I wrote a set of scripts and small
programs to do this, nothing that can be given out unfortunately. One of
these days I'll convert them into a single c++ or c# program but I'm too
busy to work on it right now.

I was mostly interested in the process of doing a country lookup on all
those IP addresses. If I have a bunch of IPs myself, how do I turn them
into
a list like that?

These are generated from the server logs by extracting the player's
connect
IP address, stripping out duplicates and then doing a country lookup.
There are always a few bogus extra IP counts due to dynamic IP addresses,
but not that many (a percent of the total or so).
I cross verify the total count against the total number of unique SteamIDs
during the same period of time just to make sure something weird isn't
happening.
There will always be more IP addresses then SteamIDs since there will
always
be connections that never actually enter the server.
Doing a detailed SteamID VS IP address correlation is more difficult since
the event times can vary and no one log line carries both pieces of
information (WON logs had this but not Steam).
There is at least one Server Stats program that will prepare a list like
this automatically (I'm not sure which, might be superhebbe).

Here is mine. Very interesting. If I did the math right, I had 7547
players
from the US, and 17,648 from the rest of the world. Assuming each unique
IP
= a player. I could have matched IP to Steam ID to eliminate duplicates
caused by players with dynamic IP and/or those that play from different
places, might make a bit of a difference.

make any difference, virtually all players will visit all servers

Subject: [hlds] Who plays HLDMS
I'm looking at my server, Half-Life DeathMatch Source, and not one
player
from is from the USA:
UK - 1
Turkey - 2
Russia - 3
Poland - 1
Austria - 1
This seems to be a fairly consistent pattern, I seem to get more
players
from Europe the the USA. I'm wondering if my lackluster ISP (Centel),
which
gives me less then stellar pings, is the reason why I don't get a lot
of
US
players? European players coming into a US server expect higher pings
and
tolerat it, US players want lower pings and go somewhere to find it?
Everyone is pinging in the 200 range right now.
