Scoreline Tracking

by **AOD_Hi** » Mon Sep 14, 2015 7:14 am

This is not directly a DCL question i guess, but has DCL application.

I think it'd be great for the tracker to record a scoreline. They show it really well for volleyball on TV but unfortunately I couldn't google an image. I made a simple example: https://www.dropbox.com/s/8e7b1dkxlfx8j ... e.png?dl=0

People often refer to the exciting changes of lead or tempo shift in their games, it'd be good to be able to quickly view and appreciate these through some graphical representation. Ideally the tracker could just harvest the data, and people could add the tracker link into their game submission and the ladder could output a simple image.

I know the tracker isn't 100% accurate, sometimes miscounts kills etc, but for the purpose I think it'd still provide an interesting overview of a match.

good idea, pretty sure arch/adam gensler the tracker admin doesn't read the ladder forum. suggest it on FB to get some visibility with him.

While you're waiting for Adam, you should know that the gamelog.txt file left behind by the game has the information you need to do this yourself. I used to take that info and throw it into Excel to make charts for my games sometimes.

I've actually considered creating a service that does something like this, but would be integrated into the source. It would go all the way down to the shield level, so you could see just how long that jerk was flying around with sub-10 shields.
