Title: Is there way to track how often a player plays on your server?
Post by: Storm on October 29, 2013, 05:39:57 AM

So I am betting the answer to this is no but would there be a way to track by steamid or ip how often a player has been on your servers for some past defined amount of time?

not without an addon like UTime.

You got the hint there, with I believe some slight sarcasm, right?

Sorry JamminR, I don't understand what you are saying. I do know about UTime but that isn't what I was looking for. I want to be able to look in logs or do a command to check how much time a player has on my server, but I don't want any time log appearing constantly in the upper right hand corner of the screen. I don't post on this forum without searching for the answer first because I don't want to waste anyone's time. This is why I started my question with "So I am betting the answer to this is no...", I had already searched it.

No worries Storm. I'm not even sure what Jam was saying.. sometimes that just happens. You'll have to forgive him, he's old. ;)

By default ULX/ULib doesn't track or record time. UTime not only displays the information, but it is responsible for tracking it as well.

If you know anything about lua, you could modify UTime not to display and just use it as a medium for storing and tracking players playtime.

Making an admin command to grab a player's time spent on a server (even when they're disconnected) is a good idea for a future UTime version, though.

Since no such thing I know of exists, you can use gametracker.com if your server
has been synchronized with it.

Although, it only tracks names.

Why not look through the ulx logs, get the first time a player joined the server, and add that to their time with utime? It might require some elite string library hax but it should be doable.

Cobalt i have had my servers for over a year and the logs are regularly purged.
