How do you plan on displaying these stats? through a webpage? You will need a database and such alot more than just the game files thats for sure. And you would need to run them off your computer. Do you play on the same computer?

i play on the same computer and i want ppl to type rank, nextmap and so on but i have no idea how to do it ^^
maybe HL Stats is the wrong mod/plugin?

Well the problem is that hlstats is a webbased program. Its not a game mod. It works with the game but is not apart of the game. It requires a MySQL database and typically a webfront end to configure basically your going to need alot more resources then you have now. I would recommend something "lighter" perhaps a script or something that works from in game google some stats modules and make sure you look up there requirements.

HLstatsX does require a web server with root access. How powerful is your computer? Feel like running a virtual web server?

Was that a joke mooga?! (no seriously, was that sarcasm?)

If not, CPU will be fairly irrelevant since a fairly low activity LAMP server + HLstatsX:CE will use very little. If you have a dual core PC it will be fine.

Ohh i didnt know that but thx for telling me

so i should look up a script for my server then? but i still dont know how to "install" it to my server.

Im a really new to servers.

Thats ok, as long as your happy to learn we're happy to explain

Mooga's suggestion was bassically to run a linux server in a virtual machine (ask if you don't know what that is) which you could run your web server from. You need a web server for HLstatsX since it isn't really a plugin for your server, its something entirely seperate that just "speaks" to your game server. I.E. you need to setup a website just to use it.

If your still interested, post. If not, im not surprised

well i think my computer cant handle that many things at once but i found something called Psychostats. That is exactly what i need i think but yet again i dont know how to install it xD
seems that i need a web server for that aswell... guess im not ment to have ranking on my server
thanks for all the help

Not necessarily I use a tool called xampp Its great installs very easily and comes with apache ftp and MySQL all run as services on your computer. If you still feel like its too much cause there is alot involved with setting something liek that up. You can go the latter route which you can visit eventscripts website they have tons of ranking modules you can install it only requires eventscripts 2.0 again we can show you how to install that also.

Hehe, no XAMPP is a package of all the web server that runs in windows so you don't need a virtual machine. Good alternative but not as secure. XAMPP is completely open to make it easy as possible for web developers. I.E. Its very open and extremely insecure so web designers aren't constantly fiddling with security settings. IMO, WAMP would be a better alternative.

afterhoursgaming, I'd suggest you look at that unless you already have XAMPP secured.

Psychostats is a very good system, although the problem is that without a massive amount of fiddling, neither HLstatsX:CE nor Psychostats will run correctly on windows (although the psychostats site has a fairly good guide).

The only problem with Psychostats is that there isn't many good plugins for rank, i.e. you can only see stats on the webpage. Although I do know someone that is providing free psychostats services. Although you wouldn't have in-game rank, just the web page stats.

I use HLStatsX:CE (my stats), and I love the web panel and the in-game stats! They both work very well, and don't cause any problem running on Windows. It is just very hard to install the Perl scripts, but once it runs, and it is left alone, it runs very well.
