HLstatsX: CE Version 1.6.11 Released & Wiki online

Version 1.6.11 is now complete and ready for download, and it has shaped up to be one of the biggest releases for the 1.6 branch. The installation and upgrade packages can be downloaded from our Google Code page.

1.6.11 Release Notes

Note: There has been a significant change to the run_hlstats and run_hlstats_multi scripts. Users of these scripts are highly encouraged to review the wiki document on Controlling the HLXCE Daemon.

Highlights:

  • This version introduces support for three new games: CSPromod, PVKII and HL1MP.
  • The daemon's method of inserting rows has been modified to now stack inserts to reduce the number of single-row inserts. The daemon also now responds to SIGINT and SIGHUP to allow for command line graceful shutdown and reloading.
  • TF2 polycount and L4D2's latest DLC have been addded.
  • Reloading and restarting of your daemons can now be done through the Administration Center.
  • Lots of missing TF2 and L4D images have been added (special thanks to DragonShadow for all of his work!)
  • Much, much more that we could not list here.

Important: Starting with this release, we will be putting release notes and changelogs over on the HLXCE wiki's Release Notes section. All users are highly encouraged to read these for the latest information! Don't say we didn't warn you!

Cranking the volume up to 11

Why the lack of news?
Why the lack of updates?
Where's this awesome 1.7 version I keep hearing about?
Are you guys dead?
What's up?

^ Just some of the questions being asked.

Truth is, we haven't gone anywhere. Everyone has been busy with real life and/or other projects.

That said, we have some great new updates coming soon! We're cranking it up to 11, 1.6.11 to be precise.

We initially said 1.6.x was done in terms of features and would get only bugfixes. As work on our partially-rewritten 1.7 version has been slower than expected, we thought you guys deserved some of the most-asked-for features without the wait. During the last few weeks, we've been very busy implementing some of the following:

A taste of what's coming in the near future:

  • Official support for more games (PVKII, CSPromod, HL1DM)
  • Updated support for various other games (CSS, TF2, GES, AOC, TFC, FOF)
  • More speed enhancements
  • Rcon password now hidden from view in admin area
  • IP address search in admin panel now supports partial matches (lookup players matching whole ip block)
  • Server name is now able to update even when rcon isn't available
  • Daemon now cleans up gracefully when being closed or reloaded. No more losing buffered data
  • Perl backend control admin page now works by default on many more installs
  • Added cpanel fix option in hlstats.conf so cpanel users no longer need to manually edit files.
  • Now compatible with the newly released Perl 5.12
  • Daemon no longer gets IP-banned on gameserver if you mistype rcon password (stops trying until reload if pass is bad)
  • Awards/Maintenance script totally revamped. Now allows running only a subset of script (ie, just GeoIP lookups, or just re-lookup player clans after updating patterns)
  • Various small bug fixes

HLstatsX: CE Version 1.6.10 Released

Version 1.6.10 is now complete and ready for download. The installation and upgrade packages can be downloaded from our Google Code page.

This release only adds support for Team Fortress 2 - Engineer Update (see important note about this update below) and a fix for Counter-Strike: Source now on the Orangebox Engine.

The 1.6.x series is still in maintenance-only mode as we slowly continue to work on our major 1.7.0 release. This release fixes missing support for TF2 and CSS (OB Engine). Some tracking of new weapons (mainly mini-sentries and players getting points for re-deploying items after moving) are not functioning just yet -- there will be a SuperLogs update for TF2 once this has been resolved. We did not want to hold up release of 1.6.10, however, for the SuperLogs update.

The full changelog for HLstatsX:CE 1.6.10 is available below.

HLstatsX: CE Version 1.6.9 Released

Version 1.6.9 has been released. The installation and upgrade packages can be downloaded from our Google Code page.

The 1.6.x series is still in maintenance-only mode as we slowly continue to work on our major 1.7.0 release. Therefore, version 1.6.9 is exclusively bugfixes. There have also been updated versions of the SuperLogs plugins recently posted over at the SourceMod. All SuperLogs plugins were updated so be sure to update these. The full changelog for HLstatsX:CE 1.6.9 is available below.
