• EU: Hitting 100,000 hours reserved somewhere today/tonight, also known as 11+ years. The moment it exactly hits 100,000 I'll probably be on a plane heading to NYC for 2 weeks (drinks anyone?), so celebrating tonight, proost!

• All: Show ping of currently selected server on reservation form. Your in-game ping will most likely be lower. Not much I can do about it, just a limitation of how browsers can ping.

I was going to write a bunch of excuses why I won't open source TF2 Live Stats, mostly because I don't want the code tied to my name.
Instead, I've decided to Mann up and put it on Github: https://github.com/Arie/tf2_live_stats

Maybe nothing ;)

Any casters/streamers looking to give this a go should send me a PM here or on Steam. Remember that you'll need rcon access, or at least someone else to run an rcon command for you.

Some events require extra plugins to add the correct events to the logs. TFTrue and F2's plugins both add all the things. SizzlingStats doesn't have headshots and airshots (I think), same goes for Livelogs.

Because you guys think league-run servers are a pretty neat idea ;)
Indeed, no RCON.

Ozzy Livelogs use the same mechanism as my live damage/kills. You'd need some way to set a logsecret and run the logaddress_add command on the server, usually this is done with rcon.

logs.tf has a good API that you could use to get stats in JSON format. But logs are only uploaded per round if you're lucky.

Starkie OP.

GG, that was awesome

Not a problem.

• EU: 8 new servers in the UK thanks to BlackOut Gaming!

Paid.

• All: Most requested feature from the survey: SOAP DM and MGE. Now selectable for donators by ticking "Enable plugins".

Technically possible by importing the logfile for a match, but a bitch to sync up with playback, so not something I'm looking at supporting now.

Good idea, 2+ kills within 10 seconds or something could work quite easily.

I'll take a look how those are logged and see if I can find a way to filter the interesting arrow heals.

Looking for 2-3 casters/streamers to try this out, bonus points if you're in the Americas. Send me a PM here or add me on Steam. I'm away for the weekend, so might be slow to respond.

Ah yes...the problem with that right now is performance. I can't just open it for the general public in its current form. So it would be some sort of invite-only circlejerk for now.

If you've watched EU TF2 this week with Jon or me on camera, you might have noticed an increased number of airshots being caught on stream.
Now I'd like to claim that we've both gotten some gamesense, but really we're just cheating:

This is a webpage that gets the streamer 20 seconds advance notice of certain game events. For now those are:
- Caps
- Rounds
- Medic deaths with uber drop indicator
- Kills on medics
- Kills by medics
- Sniper kills
- Spy stab kills
- Ubercharges

Here's an endorsement by some scrappy US streamer:

There's also something for the casters. To not ruin their spontaneous AIRSHAAAAWTTSS, they get a feed that's just synced up with STV, so they don't get spoiled. They also get graphs with the live kills and damage: http://i.imgur.com/sPR9jfO.png

The EU casting orgs VanillaTV, TeamFortress.TV and BlackOut have access to this tool, but I think it's time to bring it to the other side of the atlantic if there's interest for it.

On the gameserver side there's a few simple requirements:
- Plugin providing advanced logging: TFTrue, SizzlingStats (maybe not airshots?) and F2's Sourcemod plugins take care of that.
- An RCON command has to be run on the server. Either the casting orgs give the server admin an rcon line to run, or the server admin shares the rcon with the casting org so they can do it directly from the tool.

That's it really, questions, suggestions and feedback welcome.
