»Maverick Posted September 17, 2006 Report Posted September 17, 2006 Hey, I made an update to the stats.trenchwars.org site:A monthly graph ! It seems to work alright. If it keeps working alright I will even add a yearly graph in the future. We'll see how it goes. If you have comments/suggestions that doesn't require a complete overhaul of the website/program, let me know
Samapico Posted September 17, 2006 Report Posted September 17, 2006 it would be nice if it archived stats each week or something... so you could compare the population each week in a given zone or order someone to take screenshots of every zone's pop each wednesday at 0:00
»Maverick Posted September 18, 2006 Author Report Posted September 18, 2006 I am trying to achieve this archiving by making a monthly and yearly graph, however at some point the graphs should be converted to flash graph. Those flash graphs will give the possibility to go from the yearly graph and zoom in until the day graph.
»SOS Posted September 18, 2006 Report Posted September 18, 2006 Simple archived images would be better because you could easily compare them. Definitely something I'd like to see
»Maverick Posted September 18, 2006 Author Report Posted September 18, 2006 hm I guess that can be done. It can be done by adding a date input box to the compare page to select the period. Only problem I see is the database size. It's already quite big (5 mb) for the week data it holds, I wonder how big it can get before Dock> starts to scream Oh it can be huge. Trenchwars's database is 15 GB already lol
»SOS Posted September 18, 2006 Report Posted September 18, 2006 Hahaha. You could simply make it generate and save some gifs, instead of storing all the data. But if space is no concern, then go for broke Wait, what? 5 MB is tiny. You haven't seen many databases, have you?
XDOOM Posted September 18, 2006 Report Posted September 18, 2006 I'd like to see more top 10 stats ... Right now you can see the top 10 most populated zones at any given time ... I'd also like to see stuff like top zones based on max peak population for the day/week/monthtop 10 zones avg population for a day/year/month etc
»Maverick Posted September 18, 2006 Author Report Posted September 18, 2006 I will take your suggestion into consideration, XDOOM SOS, the statistics are using only a database for data storage. Storing the data via another way (saving pictures) would only make another copy of the data, pictures can also be way more difficult or different to handle. I'd rather use the database for comparing (would be easier and work better) then saving pictures each week.
»doc flabby Posted September 19, 2006 Report Posted September 19, 2006 how far do the stats records go back. I mean as numbers not graphs. Would be interesting to just get a monthly highest population for each month...That way you could see what the long term trends where in the overall population were doing.
»Maverick Posted September 19, 2006 Author Report Posted September 19, 2006 Currently the database doesn't hold anything you can't see (it removes any data that is older then a month).Once I integrate this compare feature I will enable it to archive all data and keep it archived.
