My player tracker project

[Haunter_mybb_import14889]

Well, I've decided to show you guys my project because it's missing something. I just don't know what and I need ideas.

http://www.playertracker.net (Based in Aus so may be a little slow for some)

Basically I wrote a SourceMod plugin to collect userdata from mutiple HL2 Engine games and then send it to a MySQL database. Then the website itself then calls that info using Ajax Search Suggest.

It collects data from:
4x Day of Defeat: Source servers
1x Counter Strike: Source server
1x Team Fortress 2 server

In the search box, you can type partial information based on a users STEAMID, IP Address, or Name. Feel free to try it (Type random things if you want, or '19828991' for my SteamID to bring up my info)

My php code that I'm using to get the data is REALLY messy so I won't show it just yet, but I certainly will in the future when I need help optimizing as I'm still really new to coding (less than 6 months, autodidact) and I know there are some GREAT minds on RuneGear who are very good at coding.

I'm up for any ideas you guys throw at me and I'm open for constructive criticism.

Alot of the join times are coming up "No Date" as it was only a feature I implemented tonight. So all rows of data before tonight don't have any time data in them.

Thanks,

I'd help you if I knew PHP, but I'm pretty sure that slack3r can help you, Darth Stabro too.
Good luck with it, I'm currently from phone so I'm not sure if the objects and all that might show correctly.

Edit:
Checked it out, looks really cool, I think it should have a few more colors (or does it, maybe phone didn't show them)

You should add something like this before anything.

A tracker for games using the HL2 engine.

People have to know what it's about after all ^^

Changing the background to a very light shade of grey would make it appear more appealing as well in my opinion.
Also, you should possibly delete the IP column for privacy reasons.


I like it

I just made the background a slight grey to be easier on the eyes.
I will eventually get around to making a nice banner/title and when I do I will certainly remember to put that in it

Also, the reason for the IP column is so that you can track players who are using a different steam account.
E.G. An amazing player with a random name comes onto the server with a brand new 5m digit steamID. Thought 1) He's cheating. Thought 2) He's aliasing. You can then type the players name/new steamID into the search box. This will bring back info on him. Then you can search the IP that comes up to see how many SteamID's have played under that IP and inturn see if the player is just aliasing on a new account and has an older account that you know.

Ah righto. I've never really bothered with Steam so I wouldn't know
