Quake 3 logs / Quake Live events processing project.

Allows to retrieve, process, analyze, store and present Quake matches.

The project doesn't aim to give global stats like qlstats it's rather meant to store statistics from some server group (server domain). The origins of Quake Stats come from a group of players who occasionally play together and want to keep track of their matches... and to have fun from some custom made medals (badges) :)

• processing Quake 3 logs (log parsing, transforming to QL)
• processing Quake Live event streams (zmq listen on QL server stat endpoint)
• translating (to some extent) Quake 3 logs into Quake Live events
• analysing matches
• storing matches in Database backend (Mongo DB)
• presenting match results through a web application

Unfortunately only OSP FFA from Quake 3 is well tested as it was the main use case

• - OSP (http://www.orangesmoothie.org/tourneyQ3A/index.html)
• - Quake Live - most of event processing is implemented
• - Edawn - requires 1.6.3+ (enchanced logging)
• - vanilla Q3 not supported (need workaround for missing ServerTime)
• - CPMA not supported (need workaround for missing ServerTime)

• - DUEL
• - FFA
• - CA - partially implemented
• - TDM
• - CTF

Are described here resources.js

The stats are presented with fancy charts, custom medals, etc. See the examples below.

• Python 3.6+
• Instance of Mongo DB (pointed by settings.py)
• Modern web browser (requires css grid-layout)

In order to setup the application you need to have python 3.6+ (virtualenv recommended) and an instance of mongo DB.

pip install quakestats

Is also needed install quakestats package (in virtualenv if you are using it). To do that you could install it directly

pip install -r requirements.txt
python setup.py install

The application is configured by setting QUAKESTATS_SETTINGS environment variable to path to configuration file. See example settings.py

Quake Stats provide a simple CLI with a command to verify an environment

quakestats status

Example output:

(venv) [user@pc quakestats]$ quakestats status
app -> version: 0.9.61
settings -> env var: /opt/quakestats/settings.py
settings -> RAW_DATA_DIR: /opt/quakestats/data
db -> ping: {'ok': 1.0}
webapp -> loadable: Quakestats webapp is loadable

You can setup Quake Stats web app with any websever you want (as long as it supports python, e.g. mod wsgi, uwsgi). This documentation covers only running in twisted webserver

You can launch Quake Stats web application using twistd webserver. Just make sure to install twisted framework first. Also make sure to use some recent version of twisted (tested with 18.7.0 installed by pip).

pip install twisted
FLASK_APP="quakestats.web"; QUAKESTATS_SETTINGS=`pwd`/settings.py; twistd web --wsgi quakestats.web.app

Admin user is used by web application to access some additional administrative operations. For now it's only setting map sizes. Just to have a list of recently used maps and their sizes. Nothing more at the moment.

# you need to run the command in proper python environment
# use "quakestats status" to check your environment
quakestats set-admin-pwd <yourpassword>

Quake Live exposes stats server through tcp socket (zmq) authenticated with password. CLI can gather stats from multiple QL servers and process them automatically. Use following config file

[server-1]
ip = 5.6.7.8
port = 27967
password = password1

[server-1]
ip = 1.2.3.4
port = 27967
password = password2

Use following CLI to start collecting events (assuming your config file is named collector.cfg)

quakestats collect-ql collector.cfg

In order to process some data you need to send your match log file to web api endpoint /api/v2/upload. By default mod osp is assumed. Mod specific endpoint is served under /api/v2/upload/<mod>, e.g. /api/v2/upload/edawn You need an ADMIN_TOKEN set in configuration.

curl -X POST --form file=@/path/to/your/games.log --form token=adminsecrettoken host:port/api/v2/upload

To send vanila q3 log use

curl -X POST --form file=@/path/to/your/games.log --form token=adminsecrettoken host:port/api/v2/upload/baseq3

To send edawn log use

curl -X POST --form file=@/path/to/your/games.log --form token=adminsecrettoken host:port/api/v2/upload/edawn

All log files with extracted matches are stored in directory determined by RAW_DATA_DIR config entry

TODO, deprecated

You can rebuild your database using files stored in RAW_DATA_DIR with simple web api call or CLI.

curl -X POST host:port/api/v2/admin/rebuild --form token=adminsecrettoken

# you need to run the command in proper python environment
# use "quakestats status" to check your environment
quakestats rebuild-db

If you implement some new Medals or any other backend related feature this API call will clear previous data stored in DB and process all matches from data directory once again.

Unfortunately the only way to distinguish players in Quake 3 servers is to use player nickname. When player changes his nickname between matches he will be treated as new unique player. In such cases admin can merge results of two specific players. Use with caution as it will rewrite history of all matches stored in database.

curl -X POST host:port/api/v2/admin/players/merge --form token=admintoken --form source_player_id=297f6272f79d4918c4efe098 --form target_player_id=df55e5cd4582d6f14cd20746

It will merge all results from player with id 297f6272f79d4918c4efe098 into player with id df55e5cd4582d6f14cd20746. To find out how player ID is build see the development section.

Preprocessed match logs stored in RAW_DATA_DIR can be imported using admin match import API. This can be particularly useful when e.g. debugging some bugs on dev infra.

curl -X POST --form [email protected] --form token=admintoken host:port/api/v2/admin/match/import

Python, Flask, MongoDB, d3.js, riot.js, zmq

Quake 3 players don't have unique ID's so it's hard to distinguish players between matches. In order to overcome this problem each player has player_id assigned during match analysis. The ID is constructed as hash of SERVER_DOMAIN and player nickname as a result it's consistent between matches as long as player keeps his nickname and there is no nickname clash. Perhaps there is some better way? Server side auth?

Web application related components

• api - web API used by frontend and to retrieve Quake 3 logs
• views - typical flask views

• see SpecialScores class - for special scores
• see Badger class - for badges calculation
• see JS resources - to add new medal image

make test

Medals, icons, etc. Some of the assets are missing it would be nice to find some free ones or draw them ;)

This problem occurs on older hardware when mongodb 5.0+ is being used. You can't use official mongodb packages with version higher than 4.x. 4.x series is the last one not using AVX. BUT it requires libssl1.1 and it's no longer shipped with Ubuntu. Fortunately it's possible to install libssl1.1 from http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/o/openssl/. Then just install mongodb 4.x.
