hello I was wondering if NFO will be switching to the new psychostats?
PsychoStats v2.0b is a complete rewrite of the original PsychoStats v1.x
code base, providing an extensible base for new game support and feature additions. New additions for this release include:
» Mysql DB support allowing near real-time stats.
» Better skill calculations including a 'decay' setting to help remove
old/stale players from the rankings.
» Advanced clan tag support allows for any common pattern in a player name to be considered a [clan].
» Advanced theme support allowing 100% customization (including logic and flow control).
» An interactive "Installation Wizard" is included that will automatically
help install the software for you.
one of us helpers tried to install PS2 recently and....
do you remember how the webserver was down a few days ago?
heh...
when/if we get it worked out, we'll let you know.
We will be examining this in more depth in the next week or two. Most likely all current servers will be updated to PS 2.0 automatically, but the stats URL will change to http://identifier.stats.nuclearfallout.net.
I have been eye balling the development of PS2 for a while it looks really nice. Though from my understanding it is instant so charging for stat updates every few hours might be a problem

True, that's a good point you have there. It sounds like we'll have to keep the current pricing structure and use it for ps 1.9, with a different, flat-rate stats pricing for ps 2.0.
It's a good idea for him to license it, forcing companies like us to pay for it. He can get a serious income out of it, actually. Of course in the end it means prices everywhere go up and the consumer pays.
