when does a server start tracking your session? 2 vs 2? 4 vs 4?
I played 2 hours straight and I got 3 sessions. ( not to many people joined at that time)

At the moment, a session is created / stats are tracked as soon as 3 players are in a server. If a server falls below 3 players within 3 minutes of the session being created, the session will not display on the website however the stats accumulated during those 3 minutes will still be added to your profile.

Looking great brotha!

Thank you! 

Very good work , I also think progressing back to a workable soltion for increasing honour will be very much welcomed.
Hooah !

Thank you! I certainly hope so as well!.

Someone PM'd me regarding opting out, I will not name them out of respect for their privacy however if you read this. I am unable to respond to your message, but I do have news regarding opting out.

As of this evening, players who wish to opt out will not have their profile displayed on the AATracker website nor will their account be included in Assist honor updates.

As of 2023-05-21, your AATracker profile is not linked to your Assist account. Should you opt out and change your Assist display name, the tracking service will view you as a new player and begin tracking stats. You'll just need to contact us and we'll opt you out again manually.
Name changes on Assist now update your profile on AATracker which means opted-out players should remain opted out should they change their name.

Thanks everyone, and huge shoutout to Teddy for his work in making this possible!.

It's been close to a month since we silently launched the AATracker Service, after multiple rewrites, bug fixes and testing it is finally in a mostly stable and accurate state. I had made a post here several months ago that I was working on a Discord bot / stat tracker in my spare time, and I've mostly scrapped that idea and launched https://aatracker.net, a web app to view your stats, tracked servers and what we call Virtual Honor, which is what your honor would be, calculated using tracked score + your frozen Assist honor. (Huge thank you to DeeDyLis and teddy_grizzly_bear for providing the formula to calculate honor as this is information I would never have been able to find on my own!).

(Virtual Honor is now synced with Assist Honor every 24hrs, see Teddy's post here: https://aao25.com/forum/news-82/(beta)-gaining-honor-and-honor-claims/)

The leaderboard provides you an overview of all tracked players and sort by kills, deaths, kdr, timeplayed, etc. Clicking a profile allows you to view map specific stats for that player.


Each player profile provides overall stats, progress towards your next honor level, as well as map specific charts / stats.



How does it work?

The AATracker service is a .net 6 application that queries a collection of AA2.5 servers at a regular interval using the Gamespy V2 protocol. In short, the application calculates score based on kills, deaths, leader, roe, etc returned by the query, as well as kills & deaths for each map you've played. Stats are saved when a player disconnects, the set changes, the map changes or should the server crash. The application can also detect quick reconnects and handle that accordingly so ensure stats remain accurate.
Basically, it works very similar to the way BattleTracker used to, albeit with less bells and whistles, and to my knowledge there is no masterserver we can reach out to so we rely on servers to be manually added to our list of servers to track (Although the process of adding servers / verifying they are a valid 2.5 server with cheats disabled has been automated).

What happened to the bot?
It still exists, although now it mostly used to manage the tracker / provide updates about which servers are tracked every 30 minutes


One neat feature added is the ability for some trusted server admins to start/stop/restart the gameserver via Discord as it's a pain to ssh into a box just to start or restart the gameserver.


And that's pretty much it! Some people have asked me why invest the time for a game with so few players, and I don't really have a solid answer besides curiosity and having nothing else to work on in my free time. With any luck perhaps it will help draw some players back, or at least retain the ones that we have!.

Ours prefers the cardboard and plastics. And legs/jeans. Fortunately she hasn't really been chewing through any of the wooden stuff.

I'm quickly learning that legs, jeans & feet are favorites as well. Fortunately, I've had some luck with bitter spray to discourage chewing cabinets and the like!. Most days have been a challenge but overall a rewarding experience at the same time.
