Last year in May, during the pandemic lockdown, I quietly re-launched http://www.prstats.tk with a new option to track individual matches. I didn't tell anyone about the re-launch, as I'm building this for myself primarily (to practice SQL queries and to satisfy my need of looking at the stats), but I know some of you guys re-discovered the site on your own (special thanks to Nate for letting me know it wasn't picking up data between 2021-03-01 and 2021-03-03).

Yesterday I finally finished and rolled-out the long due redesign of the site. Along with the new, responsive design, there are a couple of new features added:

• Pagination! You can now access whole match history of each player/server
• Graphs! You can see daily/weekly player/server activity on their pages as well as global trends on the "Home" and "Players" pages
• New, unified player/clan/server search
• New avatars! A random user avatar is generated for each player based on their name

This is not much, but most of my efforts went into the new visual appearance (design) anyway, so I think that's cool. I think the data is more readable now than before.

A couple of features I'm thinking about implementing:

• New "Maps" page where all the maps will be listed with their own play history and stats
• "Claim profile" feature where you could claim your player profile and... I don't know, change your avatar?
• Ability to follow people and get notified when they play (I think the previous point must be implemented before doing this)

I know the site is not perfect and the data it collects might not be most accurate, but given how PRSpy works and that I'm getting ALL the data from PRSpy, I think it works decently.

I looked into parsing demo files, and it's A LOT of work (including a new website which would display parsed data), which wouldn't be such a problem (though it could take months, or even years to develop something useful) if there was a unified way to obtain these demo files from all servers easily and automatically.

I won't get into all the "toxicity the site brings out" discussion too much (though I'll gladly hear any constructive criticism). I mean, look at my stats... I am terrible at this game + I don't really have time to play game and improve my stats (only when I send my kid to his grandparents :cry , but I can't help it, I just love looking at these stats. When I think about it... this is more a tracker site than a statistics site, and I'm only showing K/D as there's pretty much nothing else to show (other than player score and playtime).

Cheers!

Avram wrote:Hi guys, you may have noticed that the site was offline for a couple of days. My free domain name expired while my bank's whole system was under maintenance so I couldn't use my CC to pay for renewal (yeah, once your free domain expires you need to pay to renew it ????). The server was online all the time so there shouldn't be any gaps in the data.



LOL! Lucky you, my stats are awful! ????



The name says stats, but the site has evolved to something more close to a tracker. As for the stats, it provides only kills, deaths, score and time spent in game. In my opinion, the value is in the archived data (history of matches played) and (live) tracking feature (you can see where someone you like playing with is playing). I was even considering changing the (domain) name to prtracker or smth like that, but I don't have too much (free) time for that right now.
