Last summer, SizzlingCalamari and I began experimenting with a more convenient way for TF2 players to view their stats. After many months of work we are ready to start alpha testing. If you have a server and you're interested, please read this entire post carefully.
Overview:
SizzlingStats allows you to view your stats without even having to leave your game. Simply type ".ss" in chat and the in-game browser will show your stats.
There are no logs. You only need to FTP once to install the plugin, which autoupdates itself.
SizzlingStats is comprised of a server plugin and a website which is at sizzlingstats.com.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Installation:
- Extract the zip file and inspect the directory structure. Merge the contents of the folder to your server accordingly, then restart the server.
- Type rcon sizz_stats_version in console to see if the plugin is loaded.
- Metamod and Sourcemod are not required.
Recommended: To obtain ownership of your stats, login to http://sizzlingstats.com, then go to http://sizzlingstats.com/profile and get your API key. Paste this into the file "cfg/sizzlingplugins/sizzlingstats.cfg" as the comments show.
Other Configuration Options:
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Notes:
- Currently, stats update only at the end of each round. Meaning that hitting ".ss" won't show you anything new until the round ends.
- This is alpha software, please be aware that it may crash your server.
- You can use log plugins simultaneously with SizzlingStats. You are encouraged to compare our stats with the output on logs.tf, for example. We are aware that Damage and Heals are calculated differently, but if any other numbers are different then it should be brought to our attention.
- SizzlingStats is open-source. However, the plugin is for non-commercial use only (Full License).
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Known Issues (that we are working on):
- You must set cl_disablehtmlmotd 0 in order to view stats in-game. (This is a setting in your own game, not the server.)
- The in-game browser refreshes when a player dies. This is a Valve bug and there's not much we can do about it.
- Team switches, e.g. in A/D maps, is not taken into account in the team scoring.
- Software updates occur during changelevels and on server restarts, but sometimes it takes an additional server restart for the new version to load.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Contact:
- For issues with the plugin, contact SizzlingCalamari with the following info:
--- Who is your server provider?
--- What other plugins are you running?
--- Is your server on Linux or Windows? You can find out by FTPing to your server and looking at the /orangebox/bin folder -- if it is filled with .so files, it's Linux. If it has mostly .dll files, it's Windows.

WithADanceNumberserver plugin of the year.
quick question, how does it determine the teams nationality?
The team's nationality is just the most-occurring country among the players on that team, which I get by asking the Steam API.
This isn't the ideal method, because many players have private profiles, so all I can get is their avatar and name. Eventually I'd like to geolocate players' ip addresses.

I just talked to Bleak over Steam, the issue was that he hadn't overwritten the files from the "original" SizzlingStats, which does not have the new functionality.

fraacIt won't load for me. Hiperz linux server running soap dm.
I talked to Fraac, the issue was that he didn't copy libcurl.so.4.2.0 to the orangebox folder on his server. If you have a linux server, chances are you will need to do this.

Technosex,
It won't load for me, I added you for help. I think the problem is that my server already has libcurl.so.4.2.0 and it won't let me delete the old libcurl.so.4.2.0 and replace it. Also, I'm using linux
Thanks in advance,
Emma Watson

Hello!
Thanks so much for the awesome plugin! I just about have everything on it working right. However, when I go to the website to look at the stats on there, unlike many other servers, mine doesn't have country flags in front of the team names. I've entered the API key into the config file in my FTP, is there anything I could be missing?

On a server I played on today typing ".ss" once would bring up the MOTD, but after typing it again it would show the stats.
Other than that it's looking really awesome, thanks guys.

You don't have a country set in your Steam profile. Go to http://steamcommunity.com/id/RaysFire/edit and set your country to United States or whatever.

libcurl.so.4.2.0 is only needed if you are on linux and there isn't already a libcurl file in the orangebox directory. So it must be something else.
Edit: Just received word that yours is working now.

If I need to download libcurl.so.4.2.0 because my server doesn't have it, where can I find it?
edit: nvm got it working!!

What if my server already has libcurl.so.4.2.0? It's been there the whole time, do I overwrite it, or does it not matter?

As far as I know, my server crashes with this plugin when I had eventscripts installed.
When eventscripts was taken off my server, this plugin worked like a charm!
