FAQ: Rankings and statistics

[Sogo]

I've been searching through the forums but can't find this as a documented issue. Anyone know what would cause stats not to update? I just uploaded my stats and found that the file hasn't been updated since December of 2008.

Are you talking about ship stats, or the Uplink stats you export from ingame to load to the website?

You got it - for some reason in game stats are not updating. I have noticed it before while in game but didn't think anything of it until I uploaded my stats and was surprised that the 27,000,000 credits earned was not displayed. So what would make my in game stats not update?

[Bobcat]

How do I export a stat file in game. Sorry for all the questions but it isn't very clear.

Managed to work it out thanks for your help.

[pjknibbs]

Have you found out how to do it? It's a little unclear from your last post, and I don't see any uploaded stats in your profile...

[pjknibbs]

Did you actually re-export the stats from inside the game? It doesn't update automatically, you have to manually export them.

[Sogo]

Ah - had no idea. How do I go about that in game?

[Carlo the Curious]

In X3TC, 'Export Statistics' under Advanced in the Pilot/Personal sidebar menu.

In X3R, 'Save Stats' in the ingame options menu.


EDIT: Hmm, merging may not have been a good idea at that point - apologies for any confusion.

I was watching stats of players and mine and spotted the "active satellites" thingy. What it counts? Only Navigation ones, not the Advanced? Ans also the Advanced count as ships?! Why is that?

There seems to be a major bug in the stats as I show here:

Take pretty much any compression program and uncompress the "PlayerStats.pck" file that you have into "PlayerStats.xml", and then look the "destroyed_objects" branch in it. Do the "amount"s there sum up to what the website shows?

It would appear that they do:

Someone pointed out in the other thread that apparently "shots fired" doesn't count turrets (unless you fire the turret manually). That would make sense for me as I spend most of my time in my Osaka!

[mad_axeman]

When looking a peoples statistics, could I make a suggestion.... Could someone who has the power make the page easier to read?

Currently I have to hold a ruler or a piece of paper up to the screen to be able to read the categories and then match them up to the numbers on individual profiles. It would be much easier if each line were an alternate colour or there were some grid lines.

Yes. And plenty of time in Kha'ak space, I see. That is quite a number of Scouts you have there.

It is technically possible to become Xtreme on Combat Rank with lasers fired=0, missiles=0, and rammed ships=0. All you need is a ship with turrets. Any trueblood pacifist trader can buy such vessel. Well, not sure about buying Osaka though.

[WarpedcowOwnzU]

Well, not sure about buying Osaka though.

I have two, so I could give one away! Actually I have ~35 billion in station cash so I could buy one for lots of pacifists.

[Jashashunter]

I have looked around and I cant seem to figure out how to view my stats. I uploaded them and it gave me a summary. I can get the summary of the top ten players but I dont see anywhere that I can view my stats.

Please help a blind guy out.

[gandy|UKCS|]

when you have uploaded them it should display on your profile, there is a delay from when you uploaded to when they display though.

[Xenon_Slayer]

If the stats are from a modified game, they will not be displayed.

[Jashashunter]

aww really.... thats lame.

Why are they not viewable may I ask??

[Xenon_Slayer]

They are not for comparing with other peoples games because any modified game can have any script or mod on it so comparing is useless. As for the stats page in your profile, it may be possible in the future to see some of your modified stats.

For now, the ingame stats page or opening up the .pck file will have to do, sorry.

[Captain Chris sTc]

proberbly because they aren't on any of the "achievement" tables, since you could have cheated. so there isn't really a viewable record of them.

[Jashashunter]

I dont want to compare to other people, I just wanted to see it in a nice format. If you guys could add it to the profile that would be great.

It stores all the modified stats anyway, it has the overview of all modified stats that have been uploaded so the information is in the database and already seperated.

And as for cheating, I am offended. There are just so many scripts and mods that make the game better but are still balanced. I hope we get a bonus pack soon.
