TF2 Stats Parser

Polska · 03-24-2008, 07:43 PM

Hi everyone, just thought I would drop in and share with you guys a quick and dirty (at least the implementation :P) application I wrote over Easter weekend for kicks. It simply parses the stats data file (tf2_playerstats.dmx) from TF2 and displays the information in several different ways. The stats file contains a little more information then the in game stats display shows. It's not terribly useful, but you can find out extra things like total damage, total playtime etc..

Anyway, it requires the .net framework (anything from 2-3.5, I have included versions compiled in 2, 3 and 3.5). I may make some updates from time to time when I am bored (maybe some graphs), shoot me an idea or two if you want, but that's a maybe. Let me know if you find some problems (the parser is not terribly pretty so it may break if they change the structure of their files one day).

Cheers.

I don't even think I have .NET anything installed. And I know I won't have 3 installed, since Microsoft wants programmers like you to help them destroy the functionality of Windows 2000.

So, what amazing .NET features did you need to draw a window, add some numbers, and format strings?

Polska · 03-24-2008, 09:09 PM

Yes all those amazing features (and yes writing a simple windows gui in minutes is an amazing feature of .net). No one is shoveling this down your throat. You want to go write it in c++ or whatever language tickles your fancy go for it. Please forgive me for not pleasing your wants/needs and desires.

That's probably going to be a hard one for Maggie to forgive. I heard Zephy's doing confessions now though.

Wow, look at him go.

1) You can do it in seconds in Visual Basic. That's what VB was/is for, and it has a smaller Runtime package that works on W2K as well as her two demon-spawn mutant descendants.
2) Don't try to build a straw man; just because I said that I wouldn't use it and that I don't see why you need to lean against .NET runtimes doesn't mean I'm installing .NET anyway and BAWWWWWing about it.
3) You failed my wants, needs, and desires when you turned out to be a .NET coder instead of a dispenser that provides real-sugar sodas, fried chicken, steak, salmon, and pizzas on-demand.

How unfortunate that technology changes isn't it. It doesn't help that I despise VB as a programming language :P. In the end I feel .NET makes my life easier (I really don't care how it affects you, unless you're paying me, in which case you may not like the *bloated* runtime) and that's what matters to me.

**TheFeniX** · 03-25-2008, 03:01 PM

That's really cool Polska. And ignore Magna, he's just upset that MS quit supporting Windows 95.

**TheSkudDestroyer** · 03-25-2008, 03:10 PM

Nice of you to take the time, polska.

Ignore magna, he'll die alone chained to his windows 2000 rig fighting off windows 3k.

**MagnaCentipede** · 03-25-2008, 04:10 PM

I still have a 95 machine, indeed. It gets 60 fps in minesweeper.

In the first picture is shows your maximum buildings built as 52 and your maximum teleporters built as 98. Now I don't play engi often, but I sure thought that teleporters counted as buildings too. Of course I wouldn't have thought that a person could build 52 buildings before dieing, so what do I know?

Neat program. Seeing the totals for stats is interesting since that stuff isn't usually displayed.

Polska · 03-26-2008, 08:31 AM

That looks to be an error on my part (possibly due to a lack of sleep during easter). The attribute name in the file is "iNumTeleports" and I just wanted to give spaced/meaningful names, so that really should be Teleport Uses or something of that nature. Yes mine is 98 because life as an engineer can get rather boring LOL (I don't think the game counts you using your own anymore, or doesn't award points ingame atleast).

**MagnaCentipede** · 03-26-2008, 09:17 AM

That'd be it; "Teleports" is always uses, though I wonder if that counts self-use. I know they stopped awarding frags for self-abuse of teleporters.

Fish #641 · 03-26-2008, 04:22 PM

It doesn't count as self-use. I've been bored as engi before when I figured out that hitting a teleporter with a wrench does NOT make it recharge faster. I know you've all been wondering about that. I then proceded to use my teleporter over and over, teleporting about 3 feet each time.
