SRL Archive - Senior Scripts and Snippets

Anonymous data collection?


The Un-Named

Well, I've had this idea for some time now, and this is what it's about. SRL will collect random player data(anonymously, might I add), such as combat level, the top 3 highest non combat skills, current SCAR and SRL(once off) versions, current skill autoing and what it's autoing on, and send it to a php script that loads the previous collected data, averages it with the sending data and saves it to a file(I could do the php scripting fine, and I know 5 mins worth of php), and the file could be publicly displayed.

What would be the use of this, might you say? Simple! To see what people use SRL for, and how they use it in accordance with their players. It can also be MUCH more useful than that, it allows us to see what is being exploited and what isn't being touched, so script creators know what's best to script on.

What do you guys think?

If you're willing to host it, sure.

I wrote a lil hash function for this idea a while ago, so that we could keep stats of individual players, see their levels, how many players are in each SRL ID's army etc. It would be very intersting to see, but it would be 100 times more than regular SRL stats.

I think it would also be nice to see what scripts people actually use (although srl stats does do this) but to see that actually alot of people mine… etc etc. And also to see how many people have in there army etc. Me <> good at php :p so good luck un-named. But make sure you finish that other project :p

owell… besides that it would be nice to know this info.


and the reaosn people mine is because bots are slutty whores over the yew trees.
so all we got for a good source of money for F2P is the mining guild….

O no i meant do they mine :p or do they wc or are alot of people rcing . You can gather this from scripts stats. But there isnt a collective group. Say of all mining scripts.

And yeah the yews are raped so bad.

To anyone wondering, I was thinking of using free hosts, since the only bandwidth it will use is returning "OK!" (so the script knows it has been sent) and the tiny bit of data being sent. 5GB That free hosts offer would be fine.

Hmm…Wizzy posted his opinion on this thread… http://www.srl-forums.com/forum/srl-universal-stats-t18378p2.html but…combined with what you are proposing here…I would be curious as to the actual stats..or at least combat levels…of the majority of the "default leechers"…..

Dankness and I have been thinking of making something similar to this. Well at least this idea we were thinking was actually referring to our own army. We wanted to make full web interface to manage SCAR. Timed jobs, different scripts on different accounts, something like RC Master, but with web interface.

It's interesting idea, but I want to hear Fawkis opinion on this before I start coding anything :-) Hosting is not a problem.


Rather than a web interface, have you thought about doing it through IRC? It would be a lot easier, and with the app Regex posted back on Kaitnieks that lets SCAR and IRC communicate, it would be a breeze.

Kind of what I had in mind when I made this post…but I have a problem getting my technical ideas from my head onto paper, and into words everyone can understand…:redface: http://www.villavu.com/forum/showthread.php?t=13465
