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!.

Although I would also encourage you to also check out the official 25 Assist Discord server

Assist Auth (game) accounts are separate from the forums. You may be able to try your luck with the account recovery page: https://auth.aa25.org/passreset/.

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.

I've also just got a puppy - the renovations for the new house are now going way slower than expected... And all other side projects are on hold.

Ha! That is relatable. I've spent more time than I care to admit chasing her away from chewing anything and everything wooden!.

slammedsedan21 hey bro you should ask badboy to add it to the LGC discord server would love to test it out . Great work seriously

Absolutely, he is welcome to add it at anytime if he is interested. I speak very little French so I am unable to thoroughly explain things!. Currently, the player specific stats are accurate, however I need to work on the leaderboard sorting so it more accurately reflects top 10 players per map, descending, as it is a little funky at the moment!.

To expand on this, honor used to go up to 110 in 25Assist. It did so according to the following:

This is incredible information, thank you both!. The project is on hold currently as I've just adopted a puppy and my free time has become incredibly limited however this will likely prove super useful when I have some time to myself to continue work!

I believe the forum and 25Assist auth are two separate accounts? Regardless, the account recovery page might help as you can enter a username or email associated with the account.
